[[Top Banana (Arrested Development)|'''There's always''' <s>money</s> '''editors in the''' <s>banana stand</s> '''task force!''']]
Welcome to the Arrested Development Taskforce, a project dedicated to improving articles relating to the American television satirical [[sitcom]] ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''. This taskforce's parent projects are [[WP:TV|WikiProject Television]] and [[WP:COMEDY|WikiProject Comedy]].

If you have any questions, comments, ideas or concerns about the taskforce, feel free to visit the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Arrested Development Taskforce|talk page]].

==Scope==
This taskforce covers all Arrested Development-related articles including: characters (e.g. the Bluth family), episodes, and cast/crew.

==Goals==
To create, expand and improve the quality of all articles relating to Arrested Development. When writing articles, use episodes such as "[[The One Where Michael Leaves]]" as examples; each article should have the following to make sure they each match each other:

* A plot section under 400 words, '''DO NOT''' include information from the "On the next ''Arrested Development''" post-credits scenes, as they only pad the section with unnecessary detail. Plot points used in those scenes should only be added in very specific circumstances (e.g. "[[Out on a Limb (Arrested Development)|Out on a Limb]]")

* A production section that covers who wrote the episode, who directed it, which episode of the season it was filmed as, and any extra production tidbits you can find. Websites such as ''Entertainment Weekly'' and ''Variety'' usually have more high-quality information than most. Articles don't have to be the most expansive in terms of production information, sometimes you'll get ones that go in-depth like "The One Where Michael Leaves", while other times you'll have yourself an "[[Afternoon Delight (Arrested Development)|Afternoon Delight]]". Short production sections are usually made up for with the next section

* An analysis section that uses as many book sources as possible, but online ones are also acceptable, and cover what scholars or critics think of the episode's themes. To understand what makes an ''Arrested'' analysis section tick, use examples such as "[[¡Amigos!]]" and "[[Sad Sack (Arrested Development)|Sad Sack]]", which utilize book sources in a way that aids commentary to other parts of the article. While an analysis section isn't required for television episodes, all of ''Arrested''{{'}}s good articles have one, and it's asked for editors to please add one so each article is similar to each other

* A reception section that covers as many '''HIGH QUALITY''' review sites as possible. ''A.V. Club'' and ''Variety'' already have their reviews added to each ''Arrested'' article, but there are always more reviews that can be added. Use "[[Forget-Me-Now]]" as the basis for what a solid ''Arrested'' reception section should look like.

==To Do List==
*Ensure that the [[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]] article continues to meet [[WP:FACR|Featured Article criteria]].
*Expand and improve the main character articles, with a goal of eventually getting them to [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status.
*Improve the [[List of Arrested Development characters]] article.
*Expand and improve the [[list of Arrested Development episodes|episode articles]].
*Assess all Arrested Development articles for class and importance.
*Gather reliable information on the upcoming [[Arrested Development (film)|movie]] and split it into a separate article when shooting commences. [[Image:pictogram voting wait green.svg|20px]]
*Use '''<nowiki>{{ADTF invite}}</nowiki>''' to invite all [[:Category:Wikipedians who like Arrested Development|interested users]] to join the taskforce. [[Image:pictogram voting wait green.svg|20px]]
