To-do list for The Simpsons: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2017-09-20

  • Music section is missing reference to "The Yellow Album,' a compilation of non-TV show songs.
  • Perhaps add information about the direction.
  • Perhaps add information about music on the show..
  • The final sentence of the opening paragraph reads as if it breaks the flow of the rest of the structured content. It should probably be moved to the "declining quality" section.
Priority 1 (top)
This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Make a link to the article "Dysfunctional Family" when it refers to the Simpsons as a dysfunctional family. This will be an easy fix. Pikiwedia98461 (talk) 23:27, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: We try not to link common terms. You can try seeking consensus for the change. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:41, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 Done. It was already linked later in the article, I just moved it to the first occurrence, which is in the lead. I don't think it's a common-enough term to not link. –CWenger (^ • @) 23:55, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Change number of episodes from 712 to 713, please. Goojrr (talk) 06:26, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

In list of show runners, it should say Seasons 13-32 - Al Jean, and then Season 33= - Matt Selman. There were always some episodes produced by other EPs in earlier seasons, but the one listed here should be the 'main' show runner which is now Matt Selman. Otherwise it should be listed as joint for the last few seasons too. Rotorwalrus (talk) 18:57, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

@Rotorwalrus Before I do the edit request, do you have any sources to back up what you've stated so far? SoyokoAnis - talk 17:31, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
@Rotorwalrus  Not done - Twitter is not a reliable source. Please see reliable sources. SoyokoAnis - talk 12:18, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
@SoyokoAnis Here's the link to Al Jean on twitter saying so: https://twitter.com/AlJean/status/1388946577302061056 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rotorwalrus (talk • contribs)
 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Selman running more doesn't mean he's the main show runner, and a question asked on twitter is not a RS. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:41, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Attitude Monroe matters almost...

Marvin Monroe’s motto seems to be >>attitude matters almost<<. 195.226.105.183 (talk) 17:56, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 27 January 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at The Simpsons. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I would like to update some source as some of it is outdated. 69YaNan420 (talk) 11:15, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
