Talk:Clown in the Dumps

Your edit summaries are indicating that you are not an expert in this field and I will need to explain this to you, unless you want to edit war.

Let's review what this says:

"After the episode "Simpsorama" later on in the season, which implied that Ralph Wiggum would die in 2017, Jean told Entertainment Weekly that he had "learned [his] lesson" from the death of Rabbi Krustofski, therefore there would be no more deaths in the series,[8] apart from Jean's announcement that Sideshow Bob would kill Bart in a "Treehouse of Horror XXVI" segment in 2015.[9]"

The writing, as it is, indicates that either:

a) Jean told EW that there would be no more deaths apart from one more b) Jean told EW that there would be no more deaths, but was dishonest and there was another death

Neither of those are true. It is improper synthesis to link the two. Also, I am not sure if you know, but Treehouse of Horror is not canonical. Characters die over and over, and do not stay dead. In this one, in fact, Bart is resurrected after his "death". To include the clause with reference 9 is improper synthesis, and as well is trivia not to do with the subject of the article.

I will write another edit summary telling you to look at the talk page. Please take heed, and don't go reverting people immediately again. Benjamin K. Stern (talk) 23:08, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Being that I am not an expert in this field and your explanation here makes much more sense than what I got from your edit summaries, I will not challenge it further. -- Dane 2007  talk 23:25, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
