Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on April 1, 2010.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the American television show Glee was written with the aid of Screenwriting for Dummies?

Lead section revisions

Any changes to the lead needs to adhere to the WP:LEAD guidelines. Since the lead is supposed to summarize the rest of the article, taking out all the information about the cast and characters, reception, etc., is not appropriate. Each section within the article should be touched on in the lead, even if only in a sentence; if it isn't in the body of the article, it definitely doesn't belong in the lead.

Also, I feel I need to point out that Glee is one of the most frequently accessed articles on Wikipedia. As such, new text needs to be in good shape. The changes made so far are problematic, including unsourced quoting, grammatical issues, etc.: in fact, I'm going to revert to its previous state: there's far too much plot, and one person's opinion on what that is. This is a long-established Good Article, and the changes need to reflect that level of quality. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:37, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cutting the lead to a single paragraph is contrary to the Wikipedia Manual of Style. As WP:LEADLENGTH points out, articles of longer than 30,000 characters should have three or four paragraphs (four is the maximum for a lead section); Glee has over 100,000 characters. I have restored the second and third paragraphs accordingly; under the circumstances, the lead isn't hugely overlong. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:09, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with BlueMoonset. Robin (talk) 10:30, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism section needs work re: "anti-Christian" criticism

The Criticism section's current means of dealing with the criticism of Glee as anti-Christian (read:portraying Christians and Christianity in a negative light?) could use some work. The article is currently using a quote from Time's Nancy Gibbs, who wrote that the show could be perceived as anti-Christian because "all of the Ten Commandments" get violated at some point during the series. This is like saying a show is anti-Muslim because the characters do not all eat halal and pray five times a day. By Gibbs' same logic, the show is also antisemitic in a religious sense.

There are better quotes from the Gibbs article that actually address the question of whether Christianity itself is portrayed in a negative light; can we use one of those? I'd be glad to offer one or two myself, but I'm not a Time subscriber. Christianity Today's blog (http://blog.christianitytoday.com/ctentertainment/2009/12/is-glee-antichristian-1.html) cites the article a couple of times. Recommend something involving the quote from Gibbs: "The point lies in the surprises that jostle us out of our smug little certainties and invite us to weigh what we value, whatever our faith tradition.”16:39, 18 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.144.234 (talk)

The show's treatment of sexuality involving teenagers also needs to be explored. For example, S02E04 was widely criticized for its having two female characters refer to the sexual act "scissoring" (possibly the first mainstream network series to reference tribadism in dialogue). On the whole the article is weighted perhaps a bit too much to the positive, which is fair enough except for the fair amount of published criticism regarding various aspects of the show that for a balanced article should be included. The tribadism article I just linked to (caution: adult imagery if you click the link) includes two sources of criticism for that episode. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 17:33, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To make the page more interesting maybe consider adding audio/video clips of the songs they have performed, this is a show about a glee club after all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CCF4:8420:C55D:473D:24F8:999F (talk) 05:06, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
