Don't forget to move the article from your "Other notable contributions" to your FL section. =) I've thought about starting a WikiProject, but I'm not sure I have the time available to really do a good job.

The simpsons Hit and Run
I have uploaded a test version of The Simpsons Hit and Run here. As you will see I have only really changed the text, adding new sections and expanding the plot. It doesn't have any references or pictures, which I hope to remedy later on. Could you please give it a look and add any suggestions on the page's disscusion page with your signature? I really appreciate your opinion. --Simpsons fan 66 23:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- That's true, but I wasn't aiming to get the article to any sort of status, merely tidy it up. I suppose it's an idea, but I don't think I would find to much information. Do you think I should make an effort to get it to GA/FA? --Simpsons fan 66 00:08, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- New version is uploaded. I removed the plot subheadings and changed the text slightly. Its way too long but hopefully it will get cut down overtime. If I have the time I'll find some references but I don't think it will get to GA. --Simpsons fan 66 00:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the tips. I'll add the refs for the other show runners, but I'm not sure how much I could add with development. I can see why Season 2 had it, but nothing really happened in season 9 apart from a new show runner. Also, about copy editing... I'm not really much of a copy editor, at all. I had a hard time wording some stuff originally, I can't see myself fixing it. Is anyone else at the project a good copy editor? Xihix 00:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Featured list
I am surprised that the 109th United States Congress was promoted to a Featured List with so many red links. I was denied even a GA due to a couple of red links, and I would think that a promotion to FA or FL should be to a much higher standard than a GA. Is it that a List is held to a lower standard than an Article? Just curious.--Appraiser 02:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- I was referring to the 109th United States Congress which has 8 red links in the "employees" section. Some of these people are likely not-notable and should be changed to black text, which I suggested in the FLC debate comments. But the nominator and you, the promoter, evidently disagreed about the red links being a problem. That surprised me, because, as I said, I nominated an article for GA, which was rejected due to a few red links.--Appraiser 11:29, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Re: List of Survivor contestants
Great. I've put the nomination in my watch list. If anybody has any objections, I'll try to jump in and fix it. Hopefully it passes this time! -- Gogo Dodo 05:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Reply
I understand that, but there is no sources needed (apart from the CD itself), and it does have a neutral point of view. You yourself must have noticed this error by now, that the tracks are out of order and have different titles to the sequences they correspond with. I mean, why would the track that plays during the scene when Marge and Homer are undressed by animals be called "Bart's Doodle"? And what did Bart's nude skateboarding have to do with "Release the Hounds"? I just think its a good idea to point it out. -- SilvaStorm
Bob
Good job, I looked for some other sources but I couldn't find anything much, none of the Grammer interviews I found mentioned Bob. The only thing I found was this, which has a quote on Bob from Meyer and Groening which could be of some sort of use. Gran 17:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Done (in the sandnox version). It'll probably need some work though. Gran 15:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how reliable things like Amazon are considered, but here is some more Bob merchandise. Plush toy, different plush toy, figure gift box (third thing down), piece about Kenyan Simpsons carvings, guy says the Bob one is the best, Bob foil knife. Gran 17:00, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Copyright database
The copyright database is fine for sourcing titles in general, but not to a specific season (it would be speculation to do so). If it's on the LoE, it's fine (it's a Simpsons episode), but the title being added to that page looks to me as if it's implying it's a S19 episode (which we're not sure it is). Will 20:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
you're welcome
Hello, you're welcome. I noticed the edit summaries while looking at Recent Changes, and I thought I'd help along the article just a little bit. With the Wikiquote link, I don't think there is nearly as much need for lengthy quotes of Bart's calls now. As for the making the links between projects, I still rely on "Show preview" a lot. ;) --Kyoko 02:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Question
what is an OR section? It would also be helpful if you'd link stuff like that to your summary...it would have avoided our argument on the prank calls Ctjf83 04:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

FL Main page proposal
You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
NHL Plus-Minus Award FLC
I've done all the fixes you needed, have a look. Maxim(talk) (contributions) 00:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
FTC?
As well, I'll be doing some cleanup on the articles while the NHL plus-minus award list is at FLC. There are a few things that ought to be touched up in some articles, because the standards (leads most notably) have risen in the past few months. I almost went for a nomination tonight, but then I reconsidered. I'm also planning an FAC for Stanley Cup, and I'm currently working with User:Awadewit on it, a very skilled copyeditor.

Sideshow Bob
Yeah, I'll see what I can do. Zagalejo 02:22, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, this might be somewhat difficult for me, since I don't think I ever saw his last two appearances. (If you haven't guessed, I'm strictly a "classic era" kind of guy.) But I'll try my hand at copyediting, and I can browse through some newspapers to see if there's anything worthwhile. I'll try to get to work tomorrow afternoon. Zagalejo 04:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- I found the EW article at Newsbank. The exact quote is this: "Kelsey Grammer's grand voice-performance as Sideshow Bob is Frasier pickled in arsenic." If you need more, let me know.
- The Wizard article might be harder to track down. It's definitely not available at any of the online databases I can access, and I'm not sure I'll even be able to find a print copy. The Chicago Public Library doesn't carry Wizard, nor do any nearby university libraries. If you want, you can try Worldcat to see if any libraries around you carry it, although I kind of doubt any of them would keep more than the most recent issues. (But if you're interested, it's listed as "Wizard: The Guide to Comics".) Zagalejo 04:36, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, someone at the Comics Wikiproject might have a copy at hand. You can try asking there. Zagalejo 04:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
RE: Next time
On User talk:BlastOButter42, Scorpion0422 said:
You should actually look for the discussion before making accusations. -- Scorpion0422 05:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi there, I didn't mean to be making any accusations, but it's true that most of the article is now gone after only after the agreement of "five experienced editors", and while I'm certainly not disputing that this was a consensus, a content removal of that magnitude would have better been blessed by an AfD, one of which the article survived back in '06. Cheers, -- BlastOButter42 Hear Speak 06:39, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
No longer stubs!
After noticing that "Kill Gil: Vols. 1 & 2" was on the Wikiproject in the "cleanup" section, I worked hard, to expand upon it and not make it a stub. I removed the trivia, but I added references and a reception section. Well, I changed the whole thing. Hope you like it, reply back to this message as soooon as you can!
- Yours truly, Superior(talk) 21:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
You know, at least I attempt to be positive. I might as well be talking to a doorknob. I'll ask someone else to check.

Nnnnnext
Is there any type of article we havn't done yet? I mean we've done a hella of a lot of episodes, three characters, the movie, the main page, the episode list, a load of seasons, a castmember and a crew member. So is there anything colossal that we havn't done yet, that really needs to be done? I mean I don't really feel like doing another character from scratch right now. Getting Bob to FA could be easier than starting something else from scratch. Also, I think at some point we should work on Phil Hartman (I did some work on the death section a while back, but it needs a lot of work). So, actually I vote to do Phil's page (unless there's something we really should do) and then get Bob to FA after its passed its GAC and got a few more comments from people. Gran 17:12, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- This is something that would be a long way off, but (assuming 6 & 9 pass) after we have FLd the other seasons, they should be a pretty easy Featured Topics to get, with the episode list as the main article. Gran 18:28, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think the current look is great (assuming every award will be in a table). As for inclusion, awards with pages is probably the best system, so there's nothing else really that needs to be included. Gran 19:45, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- No, I change my mind about tables, the current article looks great. As for IMDb, I'd don't really see it as a problem, not for awards anyway. Gran 19:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- I fixed a few things, but I think what's there now is excellent. Great job. Gran 16:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'm doing 22 Short Films at the moment, what would you recommend for the main image? Because the only thing I can think would be best is the title screen. I'm going to use an image of the Herman, Snake and Wiggum scene for the cult ref section and an image of the Skinner/Chalmers for the production. So any ideas for the main one?

Right, that (slightly) restored my passion for episode pages, so I went back to the list we made, crossed out the ones that are now done, and added a couple more.
- Some Enchanted Evening (The Simpsons episode) (although Maitch was working on it...)
- Krusty Gets Busted (Introduced a pivotal character, inspired a dozen future episodes)
- Treehouse of Horror (The first THOH episode)
- The Way We Was (Inspired a bunch of future flashback episodes)
- Bart the Daredevil (Matt's favourite, features possibly one of the greatest jokes of all time)
- Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment (Submitted for Emmy consideration)
- Stark Raving Dad (Huge episode that involved Michael Jackson and is quite famous)
- Lisa's Substitute (Fan favourite, Dustin Hoffman, the main episode James L. Brooks did)
- Flaming Moe's (Popular)
- Mr. Plow (Submitted for Emmy consideration... Plus it's a fan favourite)
- Homer the Heretic (Often cited as important, my school uses it to teach RE)
- Krusty Gets Kancelled (I've seen this one high up on a number of media Top ten lists)
A Streetcar Named Marge (Also submitted for Emmy consideration... Plus it's a fan favourite)- Homer's Barbershop Quartet (Lots of good production info and cultural refs)
- Rosebud (The Simpsons) (Top 5 episode from EW)
Deep Space Homer (Again, lots of good production info)- Homer the Great (Hugely popular)
- A Star Is Burns (Matt Groening disliked the episode, and would make for a good page if we can find good sources)
Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)and Part Two)Mother Simpson (Okay, this one is just one of my favourites... But it is a fan favourite as well)- Two Bad Neighbors (Highly controversial episode)
22 Short Films About Springfield (Format bending episode)- The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson (Seen this on a few top episodes lists)
- The Principal and the Pauper (Again, a highly controversial episode)
- The Cartridge Family (Lots of good production info)
- Natural Born Kissers (Matt Groening's favourite episode)
Some of these will be harder than others, I mean something like PATP has to be comprehensive. But these are the main ones we need to do, I think. Gran 11:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Peer review - Blue Harvest (Family Guy)
Hey, you're the one who replied to me on the peer review page (I also reconize you from WP:PW and WP:SP). Well, regarding your suggestions, I have done a some considerable revamping of the article here on my sandbox. I just wanted to see your feedback now. TTYL. The Chronic 07:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
RE:List of U2 awards
We just included every award we could find in the Internet that they had received :-) Good luck! --Agüeybaná 20:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Yay!
Season 9 is a featured list :). I will start to gather sources and such and start to make all the episodes in Season 9 GA. But, what sources do you suggest I use or how would I find good articles for episodes? I have the commentaries, the Simpsons Forever book, BBC, and a few other sources I saw on GA'd episodes, but what else? Xihix 02:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the barnstar, it's my first reward :P. The only thing about reception I'm worried about is for the featured articles I'll have to get. I'm thinking a more known episode (such as Trash of the Titans, being the 200th episode) would be better for FA, though. Also, this may be a stupid question, but do you have any tips on distinguishing who is who on the commentaries? Hearing only voices and being able to tell who it is could be a little difficult... Xihix 02:46, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- I suppose I'll think about it. Xihix 02:57, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
List of WCW World Heavyweight Champions
Thanks for your help in straightening this out. Looks like I really messed up on that one. I'll leave the nomination alone for a while and let it run its course. I sincerely apologize, and I assure you that I definitely want to avoid any conflict of interest. GaryColemanFan 02:53, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
List of Survivor contestants vandalism
Just an FYI, but when the List of Survivor contestants anonymous IP vandal strikes again like he did at 71.35.159.243 (talk · contribs), you probably will want to revert all of his other edits as he's making a mess of several articles. He's changing IP addresses every few days as you might have noticed. -- Gogo Dodo 04:25, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Awards won by the Simpsons
Sorry, I somehow missed your message. I'll try to look at the page sometime tomorrow. Zagalejo 03:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I found a source for the American Comedy Award ("'Best in Show,' 'Malcolm in the Middle' and 'Will & Grace' Top Winners at The 15th Annual American Comedy Awards". Business Wire. 23 April 2001.) The show won the award for Funniest Animated Television Series. Do you want me to look for others? Zagalejo 19:03, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Here's a source for the Golden Eagle award. Zagalejo 19:08, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'll look for a place to put them. I think the prose sections could use some copyediting, but I might have to do that another day. Zagalejo 19:19, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- It looks a little bit better, although I might like to experiment with other layouts to see what's best. If I have time tomorrow, I'll fiddle around with it in a sandbox or something.
- I'll see what I can find as far as EMAs go. There's probably something about them on Lexis-Nexis. Zagalejo 04:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
