WikiProject Futurama tasks: edit  Here are some open WikiProject Futurama tasks: Ongoing Bring Futurama up to FA status. Keep Portal:Futurama up to date and update on a regular schedule. Needs attention All images linked in any Futurama article need to have a fair use rationale, this includes: episode articles done Character and list of character pages All miscellaneous pages (as linked in the Futurama template) All episode pages need to meet the standards of Wikipedia:Television episodes. A basic layout for how this can be accomplished is under discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Futurama#Episode article organization-revisited. Examples of "Good Articles" include "Space Pilot 3000" and "Hell Is Other Robots". Expand Futurama Comics and its issues. Cubert Farnsworth Other Improve the voice actors' articles Change all references to episodes to be in-line citations. See Planet Express Ship for an example of how to do this. Please feel free to edit these tasks and to discuss these tasks.

[edit] List all episodes?

The article currently lists every episode of Futurama however many of them did not have guest stars. Would it be appropriate to remove those episodes which do not have guest stars? They do not seem to add much to the article's subject. Stardust8212 01:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, do that. Also, given the recent mass-AFD-ing of Futurama articles, I suggest moving this to List of Futurama cast members, adding the regular cast at the top and who they voice. I also recommend referencing as many appearances to third-party sources as possible. IIRC the "Martyn and Wood" book the people at WP:SIMPSONS frequently use has a short Futurama appendix that can be used to reference those who appeared in the first season. The TV Guide website likely has individual appearances listed for other episodes. Brad 14:57, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Seems reasonable, I didn't create the page but I'm working on the references now, I might try to track down that book some time. I'll leave the move for a bit to see if anyone else responds but I'm not against it if someone else wants to be Bold. Stardust8212 15:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
