Talk:Dial Meg for Murder

Simpsons Jab
I added in to the main page how the end of this episode more or less parodies and/or "takes a shot at" how the Simpsons episodes end; Peter basically says "Always end on a good joke" then instead of black-commercial, the credits hover in air showing producers with all names in a yellow font, same as The Simpsons. If anyone can clean up what I wrote it'd be appreciated; I'm not sure how to properly attribute it. But it was clearly a jab (once again) at The Simpsons and Matt Groening. Oddly enough, Matt and Seth are rumored to be good friends when not inside FOX studios... --162.39.215.96 (talk) 09:41, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source it is a reference to The Simpsons? Otherwise it should be removed as OR C T J F 8 3  chat 18:07, 1 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Have you ever seen an episode of The Simpsons????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.184.234.213 (talk) 04:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Just 452, among owning 12 DVD box sets, but besides that. C T J F 8 3  chat 04:18, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Ctjf83 There was definitely a jab at the Simpsons, it was plain as day and doesn't require a source.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Userod (talk • contribs) 00:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Read the first sentence at WP:V....I don't make the rules.  C T J F 8 3  chat 00:32, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Is it not verifiable by it's obviousness? They clearly use the Simpsons credit's font. For example, why is there's no need for a source to "Meg ambushes Brian in his car and forces him to drive to Mort's Pharmacy so she can rob him". The Simpsons jab is surely verifiable?

 * Another fatal flaw in the "verifiable" system.
 * Read WP:OR, one can see that Meg ambushes Brian...you saying it is the Simpsons font, is WP:OR  C T J F 8 3  chat 02:02, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Just cite the episode. That's enough.  Not every link has to be an internet article you know.  Back in the old days, we cited tings like newspapers, movies, and tv shows for sources on themselves.Mattbrown04 (talk) 19:38, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Citing the episode is clear WP:OR  C T J F 8 3  chat 20:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Error
The robbers at the end weren't visible, Mort just said "you four fine black gentlemen." No mention of stocking disguises. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk • contribs)

Orphaned references in Dial Meg for Murder
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Dial Meg for Murder's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "yahoocast": From Business Guy:  From Dog Gone:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:53, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Isn't the title of the episode a reference to Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder? Likely Ally (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
