Monty Python[edit]

I stumbled across this page recently and have been adding content to it. I think it has enough content to become a Featured Article at some point, although I also think there is still some work to be done. If you notice any simple problems, such as grammatical errors, easily fixable POV problems, or factual errors, please fix them and post here about it (don't post if it's completely trivial). If you have any other problems with it, such as sections having too little content, too much, not the right content, or there's POV, please post here and give possible solutions if you have any. I believe the content should focus on the cast more than the films or television series, because, unlike Star Trek, Monty Python has come to mean just that: the six people behind the films and TV series. There must be some content-blending with the TV series, however, since that is where "Monty Python" comes from. --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 talk]] 02:26, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Added more ilinks to the lead. They are important and useful tool - I am sure more could be added to main text. I like the 'And now for something completely different' section title but in needs to have a descriptive title in parenthesis as well. I'd move members at the bottom, so we could merge history (pre, normal and post) into one section. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:22, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Sounds good. There are a lot of wording problems (POV, general disarray) throughout the article as well. Anyone care to work on that also? --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 talk]] 02:29, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Rearranged the biography of Graham Chapman so that it did not start with his death. JerDW

I don't know how to do deal with several things:

  1. One sentence paragraphs. They really badly need fixing.
  2. Bullet points in the middle of the first section? Are you sure we need these? Makes it look... odd. This might not be fixable.
  3. Why don't we have a picture of the giant foot that squashes things? That should go into the first section "And now for something completely different: Flying Circus and the Python style". Also, I distinctly remember that it has its own name.
  4. "After Python" : "Going solo" mentions Cleese's career, but doesn't mention Fawlty Towers!!!
  5. Wikilinks in headings... big no no.
  6. I see pythonesque comments leaking through... "That left Terry Gilliam in his own corner, a sensible position in view of the arcane nature of his work, and Eric Idle." Now they're amusing, but they also aren't NPOV.
  7. "References" should be "Notes", and then a new references section created. See Wikipedia:Cite sources. Consistency is all I ask!

Sorry, I'm busy working on other articles and am taking a break to deal with the PR section. Hope that someone finds this useful. - Ta bu shi da yu 14:07, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
