Last Exile

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review after rewriting the entire article from the mess that it was to what it is now. I am turning all articles related to Last Exile into quality articles, which I have already done with the list of Last Exile episodes, and want to push the main for GAN, if not FAN.

Comments from Tintor2

• The Anime News Network references belonging to the encyclopedia section are unreliable since they are editable by any user. News, interviews and reviews from the site are reliable. You should also check this in the episode list.
• Considering the series is licensed in North America, there should be more reviews available for reception.
• The series link in cite episodes is unnecesary since you are linking to the same article.
• "Due to Geneon stopping production of its titles, both CD soundtracks are out of print in North America." Needs reference.

Out of curiosity, does your ANN concern include the release database such as this as well? For the Geneon statement, I've included a reference on the company being defunct. I will add more reviews when I find some RS. Thanks for the rest! Arsonal (talk) 07:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

• Yep. However, I think these types of releases can be find at websites like Amazon.com or RightStuff.com.

All right. I'll see about phasing them out. Is there a preferred vendor site for referencing? Arsonal (talk) 14:33, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

• I suppose you can use anyone.Tintor2 (talk) 15:45, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

• Ref 46 is a video from youtube. Youtube videos tend to have several copyright issues. However, I don't know if there is another way to source the interview.

• The video is actually the work of the uploader himself. This can be verified by the entry on his blog and the matching usernames (gamenwatch and gamenwatchcvs). An alternative is to use the template {{Cite interview}}, as the interview was given at the 2004 Anime Expo I believe. The reference can then include the comments transcribed from the video (without necessarily including the link to the YouTube video itself). Is that all right?

• I suppose that would work, though I think it's okay to leave like these unless there are issues regarding this in the GA review.

Comments from G.A.S

• The following GA or FA articles may also help you: Fullmetal Alchemist, Serial Experiments Lain, Madlax and Tokyo Mew Mew.
• The lead is overlinked: No links are required for "Japanese", "Earth", "Europe", "Germany" "North America", "English language", "United Kingdom" (etc.) (Geography links are not required in anime and manga articles).
• The second sentence in the lead seems very long at 48 words, consider breaking it up.
• I find "The series belongs to the steampunk subgenre of science fiction" redundant to the infobox, especially since it is not expanded upon in the article.

All done. I've actually been referring to Serial Experiments Lain a bit for the article structure. Thanks! Arsonal (talk) 07:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
