A Kitty Bobo Show

  • ... that the titular character of A Kitty Bobo Show was based on the creators' experiences as Korean adoptees?

  • WP:NOTCENSORED notwithstanding, I don't think the hook should refer to a character's titulars, especially what with this being a children's cartoon and all. EEng (talk) 23:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
    • hehe. Fixed. 23W 23:39, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
ALT2 ... that the eponymous character of A Kitty Bobo Show was based on one of the co-creator's experience as a Korean adoptee?
I didn't really think anything needed changing -- I just like being naughty. I think title character would be fine too. EEng (talk) 00:39, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Yeah, but you're right that it sounds a bit lewd. Unless you think that would drive people to click... 23W 02:52, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Both, though the word I would have used is titillating. EEng (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:Ping Thanks for the laughs. If you're not busy, do you think you'd be able to give this a full review? I'd like to get this in the prep within the week as the Kickstarter is close to a week from ending; I know about WP:NOTADVERTISING and all, but I think it'd be a bummer to have this run too late. 23W 21:18, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Ouch. I hate to tell you this, but from what I can see this article is nowhere near the 5X requirement. Am I mixed up? If I am, what are the "before" and "after" dates for the expansion? Right now I'm seeing about 2X from May until now. EEng (talk) 21:56, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Naw, this was moved from my userspace. 23W 22:04, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Wait a minute. Hold on. I'm all confused now. Just a sec while I check. EEng (talk) 22:35, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
It was moved with this edit. 23W 22:38, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:Od Symbol confirmed.svg I had lost my mind for a minute there -- I think I was looking at the wrong change history. Anyway... Review: NewlongcitesnoBLPnocopyvio. The hook cites to a source which gives --

Kitty Bobo's creators -- Kevin Kaliher and his wife Meaghan Dunn-Kaliher -- are both Korean adoptees. Kevin Kaliher says that much of the impetus for Kitty Bobo came while traveling in Korea in search of his birth family.

--and I think it's reasonable to interpret that as the hook's "based on one of the co-creator's experience as a Korean adoptee". Clear for takeoff. (Before anyone notices and makes a fuss, please cite the Synopsis section i.e. cite the pilot episode itself.)

Unrelated to this review, however... I'm concerned that the linked article Korean adoptee is a bit, er, rambling -- and why don't we have 250 articles: "Russian adoptee", "German adoptee", "Mexican adoptee", "US adoptee" and so on? EEng (talk) 23:11, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Tweaked the hook to encompass both creators. 23W 23:28, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Symbol confirmed.svg Still GTG. EEng (talk) 00:02, 24 August 2014 (UTC) Stop tweaking the titulars or I'm gonna report you.

Symbol confirmed.svg I was on dialup so I made it really brief. Bolded above. EEng (talk) 14:29, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
