| == Re: ] == | |||
| Sorry, I missed your comment on my talk page (due to someone posting after you). Unfortunately, I'm a little busy with some of my hurricane articles, but I'll give you a few things that should be done to the article before you put it up for FAC. | |||
| *The couch gag summary is rather long. Seeing as none of them are complete sentences, there should be no periods (full-stops). Additionally, I just noticed that it was taken directly from . That should be re-written. | |||
| *The lede should be a bit longer – ideally two paragraphs. I don't think the name of the hurricane needs to be in the lede, but perhaps some more plot could be thrown in up there. Be sure that the writing is professional, and avoids any flowery language. '''Hurricane Barbara viciously strikes Springfield but, by pure chance, the house of Ned Flanders is the only one destroyed.''' '''viciously'''? Additionally, stating that Ned Flanders' house being the only one destroyed is a bit of Original research, I believe. Does anywhere in the episode state that specifically? | |||
| *The plot is rather long, and I would say in need of a re-write before taking it to FAC. In the second sentence, is it necessary to state that Homer poorly secured the family home? Personally, I would say something like, "...resulting in panicked citizens storming the Kwik-E-Mart and causing the Simpson family to take refuge in their basement." This eliminates the hole when the next sentence says, "and the family cautiously leaves the basement" without ever saying they were in the basement. "Meanwhile, next door Flanders" reads awkwardly, and it should either specify that it was Ned, or the Flanders family in general. "Distraught with annoyance, Flanders begins to believe that God is punishing him and, seeking answers, he goes to read the Bible in the church but receives a papercut." This sentence is a tad long. Additionally, Dictionary.com says that papercut is not a word, and needs to be written as paper cut. | |||
| *Quick question - was Jay Sherman really billed as a guest star? I find that perplexing, given that he only made a brief cameo in one scene. | |||
| *In the production section, I'm confused about the inclusion of the second paragraph (the stuff about "John Swartzwelder"), since that doesn't appear to have anything to do with production. I recommend moving that paragraph to the "cultural references" section. | |||
| *In the reception section, it'd be great to see some reviews. | |||
| Good luck with improving it further, and if you need any more comments, feel free to give me a post. ♬♩ ] (<small>]</small>) 17:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| == Re: The Last Tempation of Krust == | |||
| I'm not sure if I can guarantee my support, as I'm not sure what to expect from a featured episode. The quotes seem awkward, and I just feel that the writing is not professional enough. Perhaps ask ], as he is ''the'' guy to ask. Granted, he might be a bit busy, IDK. I don't think I'll comment on the next FAC. That way, I won't influence any other editors. If it truly is FA worthy, the community will prove that it is, and the opposite is true. ♬♩ ] (<small>]</small>) 17:34, 2 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| == Book cover in author article == | |||
| Hi Cirt. ] is on my watchlist, and I noticed that you tagged ] for deletion because it was not suitable for ]. I've the book cover out of the author's article and removed the image's delete tag. When I come across a book cover that is used in both the author and book articles, I remove the image from the author article with an informative edit summary rather than tagging for deletion. I've done this quite a few times and have had no problems. Doing this might save you some time in the future.

| Cirt -- I reviewed Justanother's recent block under the Scientology article probation. In reviewing the situation, I find your conduct to have been somewhat troubling. Specifically, this is about ]. (1) You were edit warring over a source in the article. (2) You inappropriately gave a vandalism warning when there was no vandalism (and obviously there was no testing going on.) Unlike Justanother, you were at least civil. I would probably have banned you for 24 hours if I had been the one to look into this initially but I consider the situation old at this point so I'm not going to. However, I'm going to log this warning at ]. If you really did know that the IP editor at ] was Justanother from the start, as he claims, I would consider that to be much more serious. You can see my separately written assessment of this at ]. Moving forward, please remember that Scientology-related articles are on article probation, and that you should not accuse others of vandalism when they are making apparently good-faith edits: ]. ]]<sup>]</sup> 07:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| Whatever. Justanother is paid by Scientology to keep as much critical material off of Misplaced Pages as possible. He'll push the limits and if no one is watching or not careful, suddenly Scientology looks like a legitimate religion. Too bad the critics don't have millionaires, like John Travolta donating to Scieno associations like IAS with the sole purpose of paying trolls like Justanother. ] (]) 16:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| Hey Cirt, how is that additional section for Scientology's possible involvement coming along. I provided you with secondary sources. What's the holdup? ] (]) 16:45, 4 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ;Reply to Mangojuice | |||
| Hi, I saw your warning and would like your advice. I was busy editing the ] article when {{user|Justanother}} came along on the IP, and I didn't know it was him until he revealed his name. I'm worried that he's following me and trying to bait me into a block. He keeps changing IP addresses so it's hard for an uninvolved observer to track his actions, and he refuses to remove the ] against me from his user pages. What do you advise me to do? Most Wikipedians don't edit under the worry that every new IP they encounter might be someone who has an old grudge. I've got a ] in progress (]) and I'm working on a couple other potential featured articles and featured portal drives, and don't want them to get disrupted by this issue. Really, I just wish the fellow would leave me alone. ] (]) 17:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
