Guh? Buh.[edit]

"This was the first The Simpsons episode Frank Mula wrote and it was an audition for him to get on The Simpsons."

What? Does this mean that Mula wrote the script on spec and was promised a proper position on the writing staff if the episode was successful?

The only thing he mentioned was it was his audition so I've deleted that.

Did someone in the commentary actually say "fat and dumb"? If so, please wrap it in quotes as it currently looks a little flippant. Bradley0110 (talk) 13:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:I Love Lisa/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

I've made a couple of minor changes, but I have no hesitation to pass this as a GA. It's well structured and well-written. My only suggestion would be to change the verb "got" in the lead. "Get" is a vague verb with many meanings, and the fact I can't think of an alternative goes a little way to prove that. At the moment it doesn't affect the readability however so I'll leave it up to you to change it. Well done.

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Excellent, thanks! I changed "got" to "came up with". --TheLeft orium 13:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lesser Known Presidents' Song[edit]

What does it parody? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.63.16 (talk) 04:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cited Source Inaccurate?[edit]

Under Cultural References it states "The orchestral version of Tony Bennett's "Stranger in Paradise" can be heard in an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon." This appears to be a simple misnomer as the piece in the cartoon is clearly just the "Gliding Dance of the Maidens" Polovtsian Dance which Tony Bennett's song is directly based. I was going to change it, but noticed that the citation corroborates it. I'm unsure what to do now, so I left it be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.19.114.17 (talk) 06:11, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
