the strange "gun"

[edit]

What is Bart holding in the scene where he rummages through Patty and Selma's bras? And why is Lisa disgusted by it? -78.51.166.208 (talk) 15:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a blackhead gun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.30.136.125 (talk) 23:22, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm Mm40 (talk) and I'll be checking this article against the good article criteria. I'll be watching this page, so you should just leave any responses here. Thanks, Mm40 (talk) 01:57, 10 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Image
  • I disagree with the first purpose of use in the fair-use rational for Image:Simpsons 8F14.png: "This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which describes the item portrayed."
  • It is not given adjacent to text which describes it
  • The plot summary doesn't mention the puppet show at all
Lead
Plot
  • Overall, the section has a couple of odd wordings (or places that seem particularly wordy). It passes the "clear prose" requirement of WP:GA?, but I suggest you seek a copy-editor
  • "she is assured that she has nothing to worry about" could use a minor clarification: did Homer's response assure her, or something else?
    • Fixed.
Production
  • "switching the institute to a vacation" you don't go to a vacation, you go on a vacation. Thus, this should should be "switching the institute to a spa"
  • "In the scene where Homer sings" the article doesn't talk about this scene specifically, so it should be "In a scene where Homer sings"
  • "for the episode, and animated several" remove the comma here to make it clearer that we're still talking about Dietter
  • "although no attention was called to it" needs clarification. Does this mean that the people making the show ignored the request to make Homer look drunk, or that it wasn't very prominent in the actual episode?
Cultural references
Reception
References
  • It's a nitpick, I know, but the authors for A Complete Guide To Our Favorite Family should be formatted as such: "Richmond, Ray; Coffman, Antonia". Also, WorldCat lists Groening as an author. Should he be added? If so, it would be "Groening, Matt; Richmond, Ray; Coffman, Antonia"

The rest of the review will be up tomorrow afternoon. Thanks, Mm40 (talk) 01:57, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! I'll work on the article soon. Theleftorium 14:20, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've finished the rest of the review. Not surprisingly, another nice article, and it should pass after my trivial requests are taken care of. Thanks, Mm40 (talk) 01:12, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK then, I'm passing the article. Please note that the last point under Production needs to be taken care of. Thanks for your contributions, and please consider reviewing a nomination or two at GAN. Thanks, Mm40 (talk) 11:11, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
