Our Friends in the North[edit]

Notified: Angmering, WikiProject BBC, Television, British TV/Shows, North East England

I am nominating this featured article for review because its failure to maintain the FA criteria. One major issue it has is its lack of citations it has. One example of this being the "Production and broadcast" having paragraphs with no references in them. Another issue is its use of images as, besides the one for the title screen, they are all pictures from scenes in the show. More variety on the lines of using pictures of the actors, like this, would be better. GamerPro64 21:02, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this, I've been waiting for it for a while as it's a very old FA now. But it's a great love of mine, so I'll do my best to try and work it up to standard. I agree the images probably don't survive on this day and age's Wikipedia, though. Angmering (talk) 06:04, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a new note to say I have begun work on improving the article - hopefully you will have seen significant improvement by the end of the weekend. Angmering (talk) 10:51, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have been having a good go at this over the past couple of days - any thoughts on how it's looking so far? Angmering (talk) 21:46, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The images used in the article are better than the ones before. I didn't really check the prose on the article so maybe someone should look into that. GamerPro64 23:54, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate comment: does anyone have any further concerns they'd like to raise, or do people feel this has been sufficiently improved? Nikkimaria (talk) 05:02, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I honestly think this article has improved for the better. However, it would be best to get a second opinion on the page. GamerPro64 15:39, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I see one outstanding citation needed. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:27, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that one comes from one of the DVD documentaries - I will try and check over the weekend, and if not, remove the statement. Angmering (talk) 22:19, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Close without FARC I've cleared that last tag. DrKiernan (talk) 20:13, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to agree with DrKiernan and vote to Close without FARC. GamerPro64 21:50, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
