Talk:A Rugrats Chanukah

Notes following my copy edit
Just gave this article a copyeditor's once-over. The prose looks in decent shape to me. A few questions, or areas for clarification:

I don't have access to the cited article, and am a woeful shiksa, so I can't tell: was Germain describing the general idea of a Passover episode as funny, or had he particularly had a funny idea for one?
 * "Paul Germain, co-creator of Rugrats, responded by suggesting a Passover special instead, describing it as a "funny idea.""
 * The general idea.  The Flash  {talk} 18:32, 19 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Similarly, in the "controversy" sections - it sounds as though the "dumbfounded" and "absurd" lines are direct quotes from Hecht - is that so? When writing about controversies it is good to avoid paraphrase, so I'd like to check that these are the precise words Mr. Hecht used.
 * Here. It quotes him as being "flabbergasted."  The Flash  {talk} 18:32, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Otherwise this reads pretty clearly to me. Well done, contributors. Gonzonoir (talk) 14:06, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

 * The plot section could benefit from a couple sentences beforehand of background info about the series/characters; how does this episode fit in with their dynamic/other episodes? It is never explained who Angelica is, for example.
 * Some of the section headings do not reflect the following prose.
 * The reception section has too many quotes; something like "a richer meal, even, for parents than for tykes" can be easily paraphrased.
 * The reception section is also disorganized; there are themes but they aren't connected/written close together.
 * the ADL controversy is overwritten; "The controversy resurfaced in 1998 after the ADL made the same claims about Boris' appearance in a Rugrats comic strip that ran in newspapers during the Jewish New Year. The organization was also offended by the character's recitation of the Mourner's Kaddish in the strip. Unlike Hecht, Nickelodeon's new president, Herb Scannell, agreed with the criticism and apologized, promising never to run the character or the strip again" has a lot more to do with the character than this episode, I think.
 * It is said to have received a 7.9 rating in the lead, yet in the body this is explained to be a 7.9 among kids 2–11 only, and cites a Viacom press release which could be filled with spin. This should have a secondary source.
 * The newspaper sources should have page numbers I think, especially when no links are provided.
 * There is probably more at The Wikipedia Library which hasn't been consulted; stuff about cable series episodes from the 1990s is definitely not all on Google.
