Aoba47 is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon.

Hi, Aoba47! I hope you're doing well. If you can recall, I sent Pagtatag! to FAC, which was withdrawn. I have addressed your concerns concerning the prose of Pagtatag!, which I think made the article read better; I am grateful for your comments. I sent Pagtatag! to a peer review two months ago now and did not get much traction. I was wondering if you could have another look at the article. I was planning to nominate it again for FAC this month after finally surviving my busy workload last September. Thank you! – Relayed (t • c) 10:31, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241005103100","author":"Relayed","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Relayed-20241005103100-Pagtatag!","replies":["c-Aoba47-20241005222800-Relayed-20241005103100"]}}-->

• @Relayed: Thank you for the message. I am glad that you are still working on the article, and I am sorry to hear that the peer review has not been getting attention. It is always frustrating when that happens. I have done a few reviews lately, but I am more so on a break for Wikipedia for the time being so unfortunately, I will not be able to help right now. Whenever I do become more active again, I will message you and figure out the best place to post any comments. I have a lot of things to get to outside of Wikipedia, and I have been feeling very self-conscious about my work on here even though I am not entirely sure why that is the case. Apologies again, and I hope that you have a great rest of your day.

  Hi, Aoba! Thanks for replying. I completely understand, hope you can get your things all sorted out and see you active once again. I'm sorry if I have bothered you, and you don't have to feel uneasy about your work! Wikipedians like you are what inspires me to do what I do today, and I'm sure that's also the same for others. I do hope you'll feel better any time soon; take as much time as you need. – Relayed (t • c) 05:39, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241006053900","author":"Relayed","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Relayed-20241006053900-Aoba47-20241005222800","replies":["c-Aoba47-20241006134500-Relayed-20241006053900"]}}-->

Hello! Recently, there has been a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Featured lists#FLs for television seasons regarding how season articles should be classified, as they are currently split between FL and GA/FA. It seems the general consensus nowadays is that these pages should be considered as articles instead of lists. Given that, I've been working to identify pages that would make solid GAs; in my opinion, Private Practice season 1 would be a good fit in its current state, as it already covers production, reception, etc. alongside the episode list.

As the original FLC nominator, I wanted to know if you would be interested in nominating this list for GAN (and, if you wanted, to aim for FAC down the line). I'd be happy to chip in where needed and I'm open to any feedback you have on this topic – just let me know what you think about it.

• @RunningTiger123: Thank you for the message. I agree that it is more of an article than a list. I was actually working on this last month in my sandbox (and formatted citations for it), but I got rather overwhelmed by the process and stopped there. I agree that the article is in mostly good shape for a GAN. The only issue that I can see is the citations from the lead would need to be removed and any information that is only mentioned there would also need to be included in the article as well. It would need further work for a FAC, but that has a stricter criteria. I am taking a bit of a break from Wikipedia at the moment so I am going to have to pass on nominating it for a GAN. I might work on it again in the future, but I am not sure for now to completely be honest. Apologies for that. I understand and would be more than fine with this being demoted in the meantime. Thank you again, and I hope you are having a great weekend so far. Apologies again for not being much help. I just need to take a step back from Wikipedia for a moment.

  Totally understand. For what it's worth, I'm not really looking to clog up FLRC with articles that are still good quality and just need to be reclassified. Hope you enjoy your break.

Hey Aoba. I hope you are doing well and taking the necessary time off from Wikipedia to get your mojo back. Whenever you have time, I just wanted to ask, given your extensive work on Charmed articles, including research in magazines, did you ever come across any source/interviews regarding the making of the season three finale "All Hell Breaks Loose"? Or possibly on other episodes from season 3/4? That was arguably one of the best periods of Charmed and I would like (gradually, slowly, and whenever I have time and feel like doing so) to work more on these two seasons and their episodes.

Thank you for the kind words. Great work with the episode article! Charmed is one of my favorite shows and one of the main things that inspired me to want to be an author. I think that it really shines in its first four seasons. Most of the coverage that I have found for "All Hell Breaks Loose" unfortunately was more about the feud between Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano and less about the actual production for the episode itself. It is a shame as I'd be interested to read about the writing process or Doherty's time as the director.

Later versions of the Charmed DVDs include special features so it may be helpful to see if any of those have been uploaded online. I'd imagine most of the online coverage on these seasons has died, so the the Internet Archive may be helpful for that, although I know it can be difficult to track down specific stuff on there (if it existed at all). I do not think production information for individual episodes was as readily available as it is now. Aside from "All Hell Breaks Loose", "Something Wicca This Way Comes", and "Forever Charmed", I am not sure that any of the other episodes are notable enough to be articles, but it is always worth looking into further as I could be wrong. I wish there was a book that went into more detail on the production information for the show, like Star Trek Voyager: A Celebration did for Star Trek: Voyager, but I doubt that will happen unfortunately.

Sorry for the long reply and apologies for not being much help with this. I appreciate the work you have already put into the "All Hell Breaks Loose" article, and I look forward to any further work you do on Charmed. If I ever decide to do further projects based on the show, it will most likely be for the character articles, as those have always been my favorite areas on Wikipedia. I really needed this break though so I do not see myself pursuing any major projects in the near future. That being said, I am always happy to hear from you so feel free to drop me a message anytime. I hope you are doing well and have a great start to your weekend!

Thank you for your kind words as well. I also enjoy hearing from you, if you wanna message me in the future. :) I'm really happy with the current state of the article, but unfortunately you are very right about most of the coverage being about the Doherty-Milano feud, so no need to apologize for that. It's unfortunate that the House of Halliwell podcast never reached season 3 so that Doherty could discuss making the episode. From the few interviews I've seen, it seemed like she really enjoyed directing, so it would have been fun to hear what she had to say about this episode; alongside the other two she directed. She definitely had a talent for it, especially for an actress that was actually part of the project she directed; her performance in all three episodes was amazing.

Other than that, I hope you are also doing well. It will definitely be fun to see you work on more character articles. I've said it before, but I'll say it again; your work on the Russell family was phenomenal. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for your future work. And I hope you interest in being an author works out. I know how hard it can be to find the time and energy to sit down and write. Especially for anything that's novel-length. Anyway, cheers! :D PanagiotisZois (talk) 13:07, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241013130700","author":"PanagiotisZois","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-PanagiotisZois-20241013130700-Aoba47-20241011194900","replies":["c-Aoba47-20241015175000-PanagiotisZois-20241013130700"]}}-->

I agree that Doherty did a great job with directing, and I wish that she was able to transition into being more of a director as she did seem to be really passionate about it. It would have bee nice to see her have a similar career trajectory as Roxann Dawson who acted on Star Trek: Voyager and later transitioned to being more of a director. It would have cool to even see Doherty direct more of the genre fare on the WB and the CW, like an episode of The Vampire Diaries, as I think her time on Charmed could easily translate to that and would have made me more interested in checking them.

I appreciate the kind words, particularly about the Russell family articles. I know that I get way too negative about my past projects, but I am proud of my work on those articles and that I was able to successfully bring them through the FAC process. I have always loved Passions so I am glad that I was able to hopefully keep a part of that show alive in some sense. I am honestly so grateful for all of the help and support that I received at that time (and that I still receive). Working on those articles honestly feels like a lifetime ago lol. Thank you again, and best of luck with everything for you too!

Hi Aoba47, not sure what tools you were using, but it seems like you're good at digging. Do you think there are other possible sources that you could find for Claire Redfield 's reception section?

Thank you for the message. Unfortunately, I do not think that I will have the time right now to look for further sources. I try to look through as many difference sources as possible, from a general Google Search to looking through Google Books and Google Scholar. I also go through the Wikipedia Library and Newspapers.com, although I am not sure how much coverage Redfield would have in newspapers. I like to play around with the settings to look through specific periods of time and to experiment with different search terms and combinations of search terms. I enjoy the research process, but it does take time. Sorry for not being able to help, but I hope that this gives some ideas or points of inspiration.
