Goof?

Was the age difference between Waylon and Homer really a goof, or had Smithers Sr. died years before Homer found the body. It was rotting, after all. Alx xlA 03:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Past Suggestion?

In the trivia section, I just don't get the "It could have been a past suggestion" bit, that would mean that Smithers' parents suggested he'd go to a burlesque house while he was still in his infant years.

question

hi, does anybody know the title and interpret of the song which 12-year-old carl, lenny and homer are singing while they are walking along the railway? --87.178.119.247 19:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i think i found it out - the songtitle is "Mr. Sandman" and it's from "The Andrews Sisters". --87.178.119.20 17:20, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who was show runner?

The infobox (Mike Scully) disagrees with the trivia ("Marks the official return of Al Jean as full time show runner."). Which is it? -- Pawl 18:02, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, the prose looks pretty good, but I have a couple of issues that I have before I decide to pass:

  • The image
    WP:NFCC
    :
    • A reason that justifies its contextual significance to the article, i.e. spell out why the image's presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic and that its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
      • Done.Queenieacoustic (talk) 00:54, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • It's fine that you listed how you feel it meets fair use, but you still did not justify the purpose behind the image, i.e. it shows Mr. Burns and Smithers Sr., and the contextual significance behind the production, as mentioned fairly well in the caption. That's what needs to be added. –MuZemike 01:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Where you got the image from (i.e. a URL if you got it from the web, screenshot from a computer program, etc.)
  • The caption in the infobox seems a bit long and drawn-out. It really should he shortened, as the rest of the information is in the article itself.
  • I am not entirely convinced of the
    reliability
    of "DVD Movie Guide". I only see two people who run the site, and as a result, I don't see much at all for editorial oversight or fact-checking.
    • I'm pretty sure it's acceptable, seeing that the site has been used in several Simpsons GAs. If you're still not convinced, I recommend you addres the matter here.Queenieacoustic (talk) 00:54, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'll bring it up to
        WP:RSN if I get a chance. –MuZemike 01:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply
        ]

Also remember that you should only use the standard quotation marks as used on keyboards, as some browsers are unable to read the ASCII quotation marks. Also, mind the reference formatting (should be <ref name="Foo" /> instead of the more redundant and non-HTML compliant <ref name="Foo"></ref>). Finally, just include one citation at the end of the material that the particular citation covers; that helps cut down on "citation clutter".

On hold pending the few issues listed above. –MuZemike 23:06, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Passed – Sorry, but I didn't readily see the changes on that one fair-use rationale. Everything else looks good as far as GA standards are concerned. –MuZemike 15:51, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It seems I didn't save the description. I've added a description now, if you don't find it useful, just tell me and I'll change it. Thanks for the wonderful review by the way! I've found your suggestions to be very helpful and I look forward to encountering you again at some point in the future. :) Queenieacoustic (talk) 16:40, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
