Here's where we're at with progress on a season one Good Topic. Twenty-three articles down, seven to go! Volume 1 is probably closest to GA at this point in time, and Journey to Regionals likely needs the most work, though the concert tour might be tough as the sources aren't stellar. Still, we're three quarters of the way there :D Frickative 03:05, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

I know it is early to be compiling this, but I wanted to start it nonetheless. This should be easy to update as articles covering the season progress. (Column placement is based on the Season 1 Good Topic also in progress.) --Another Believer (Talk) 04:26, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Since we're hoping to get the first episode submitted as a GAN within the week, and the next two before the end of October, it seemed a good idea to start this section now to show our progress. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:26, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Characters Good Topic

edit | discuss Characters of Glee 24 articles
Artie Abrams
Blaine Anderson
Shannon Beiste
Rachel Berry
Mike Chang
Tina Cohen-Chang
Sam Evans
Quinn Fabray
Rory Flanagan
Holly Holliday
Finn Hudson
Burt Hummel
Kurt Hummel
Mercedes Jones
Dave Karofsky
Santana Lopez
Brittany Pierce
Emma Pillsbury
Noah Puckerman
Terri Schuester
Will Schuester
Sue Sylvester
Lauren Zizes

Huge pat on the back to HorrorFan121 for recently bringing Rachel Berry, Kurt Hummel and Quinn Fabray to Good Article status! :) Of the 20 central character articles, there are currently 3 GAs, 7 of B-class, 6 of C-class, 3 of Start-class and one redirect (Sam Evans). Anyone want to 'adopt' any to polish up? I'm about 40% done with Sue Sylvester, and I've been meaning to work on Terri, Brittany and Santana for months, but haven't quite gotten around to it. I might have a go at Mercedes in the near future, but I'm also liable to forget I've said that about five minutes after hitting 'Save page'.

On a related note, I've added some of the most frequently used development sources to the task force's resources section. I'm having a bit of a mental block though, so if anyone can think of more, please add them! Frickative 18:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Update (thanks to RyannnMaccc for the prod): up to 21 character articles, with 8 GAs (and a nomination being reviewed), 4 of B-class, 5 of C-class, and 2 of Start-class, with no redirects. More "adoptions" are always welcome! BlueMoonset (talk) 14:29, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Correction: 20 articles (not 21) including Characters of Glee; now 9 GAs, 3 B-class, 6 C-class, and 2 Start-class. BlueMoonset (talk) 08:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
With the new Holly Holliday C-class article (by someone not in the task force!) we're up to 10 GAs, 3 B-class, and 7 8 C-class. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:48, 26 September 2011 (UTC) (corrected to 8 at 04:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC))

Mike Chang

The Mike Chang article has been updated since the end of season two. After Asian F, when there was major character development with him, there is probably a lot of sources out there that can be used to update it. I'm going to do my best to update it, but help would be appreciated. JDDJS (talk) 19:55, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

After looking at all of the other character pages, I realized that a lot of them really need to be updated. JDDJS (talk) 03:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, we haven't had as many editors from the task force active this season, so it's been a full load just keeping up with episodes. Usually, character pages have gotten updated on a need-to-fix basis, generally when someone edits a character page with recent events that then need to be edited for style or substance. It's the characters like Mike or Artie, with less of a fanbase, that aren't updated by non-task-force editors. I think it's great that you've started to tackle Mike, who is a character that has finally come into his own this season. I'll look back into my notes to see if there's anything more that can be gleaned for his musical performances in "Hold On to Sixteen" and "Michael". So far as I know, most storylines were up to date through the end of season two, though many of the other sections are still more heavily weighted toward season one, or even the first half of season one. In part, it's harder work to weed out old material—decide what's more or less important—than it is to write new.
Incidentally, I reverted your reflist change on the Kurt Hummel page from 30em back to 2. The vast majority of the Glee task force articles use reflist|2. I, personally, prefer that look to the narrower incarnations of 30em, but if there are strong reasons to prefer the width versus the number of columns, we could certainly consider a change. We have 162 actual articles, including stubs and lists, that would be affected. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:58, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I usually refer 2 over 30em but I thought that there were too many references on Kurt's page for two columns. However I don't care about it enough to argue it. I was surprised to find that some of the bigger characters' pages aren't up to date. For example, Finn's page has not been updated since Yes/No, and even then it was to include that he proposes and nothing about his father. I think that we should try to update all of the articles during the break. JDDJS (talk) 04:16, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey! Just wanted to jump in and add to the discussion. BlueMoonset brought this to my attention on Frickative's userpage. I've been absent on Misplaced Pages for the majority of Glee's third season, but I'm going to jump in this week and try to work on some of the problems regarding the character pages (clean up, addition of citations, updating, etc. Basically an overall "Wikifying" to some of the new information). Hopefully, we can get the majority of the articles perfected soon. By the way, I just noticed Shannon Beiste is already a GA. Fantastic! That means we really only have eleven character pages to go (excluding the Characters of Glee page). HorrorFan121 (talk) 22:28, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Coverage needed for Glee pages

I'm going to be away from Misplaced Pages for a couple of weeks, scaling back tomorrow and disappearing Wednesday afternoon, which means we need other people to step up and monitor the articles that tend to get the most unsourced, unverifiable information: those of the back eight episodes that are active or becoming active ("Big Brother" has a DYK on the front page at the moment, and someone determined to put Quinn in a wheelchair without sourcing, and then with inadequate sourcing, and the same with the two songs that have no performer sourcing).

I hope some of you can give a little more time to this until my return; fortunately, the third season articles are protected against IPs and new (unconfirmed) accounts, which saves us from the worst of it. Also watch out for Glee (TV series), since it gets so many hits.

Thanks! We've been in a bit of a lull while Glee was off the air; I imagine things are going to pick up now that the last eight episodes are going to air over the next seven weeks. (Note: they started filming episode 20 in earnest today, and recording the music for episode 21, which is Nationals. And if Nationals is 21, I think that leaves 22 as Graduation...)

Portal?

Do project members have an interest in assembling a Portal page for Glee? See Portal:The Simpsons for an example of a featured portal. Portals take work to set up but, as far as I know, little management once established. This project certainly has enough material to showcase. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:44, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

It looks interesting and quite pretty, but unless you're interested in taking it on with minimal assistance, I don't think we have critical mass for something like that, although we do indeed have plenty of material. (Not, of course, to compare with The Simpsons.) It would be low on my list of priorities in terms of setup and maintenance.
It used to be we had several people working on various types of articles—episodes, characters, soundtrack albums, actors, etc.—to try to bring them to GA or FL or the like. Participation in the project is low these days. Right now, I'm basically it on the roster in terms of episode article development, JDDJS has been working on updating a few character articles, and some non-roster folks are contributing early information about episodes and songs and discography. At my current rate, it'll be June before I've worked through the episode backlog and can start to give attention to a more systematic update of character and season articles. Much as I hate to say it, I think this project is losing steam, rather like the show itself is losing viewership. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:10, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
My interest in the show dropped when Ryan and Brad became less involved. Perhaps I should hold off on starting the Portal. No doubt this project deserves a quality Portal when the time is right. (WikiProject Glee is one of those projects where I think every single article under its umbrella could actually reach Good or Featured status!) --Another Believer (Talk) 20:19, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
