Everything's looking pretty good right now. Here are a few suggestions for improvement: I'll place the article on hold for a week, so good luck with making any changes - it's not far away! Just ask if you have any queries or issues. — 97198   talk  01:03, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Homer and Bart leaves Marge and Lisa at the camping place -> plural; "Homer and Bart leave..."
 * Homer and Bart falls into a fast-moving river -> same deal; "Homer and Bart fall..."
 * WP:MOSTV recommends that the plot synopses in episode article should be at around 200–500 words. This one here's only slightly over 500, but considering it's only a half-hour show, I think it could be decently trimmed.
 * a conversation between the two about boys and other stuff -> "other stuff" is a little unencyclopedic; could we reword?
 * Sam Simon thought "that's too funny to leave as a stage direction" and they added a dialogue to the scene -> how about "Sam Simon thought that it was 'too funny to leave...'"? And I'd say "they added dialogue" without the "a".
 * like a lot of the other early guest stars on The Simpsons -> "a lot" is also kind of unencyclopedic; maybe go with "many of the other..."
 * A lot of resources was spent on the backgrounds -> plural; "were spent"?
 * "The Call of the Simpsons" finished 2nd place in the ratings that day - spell out "second"; maybe also "the ratings for that day".
 * Nielsen rating -> Nielsen Rating
 * Emmy Award in 1990 in "Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy Series or a Special" -> "in 1990 in the category of..."
 * TV.com is fine as an external link, but it cannot be used as a reference (ref 8) because it is not considered a WP:RELIABLE source as it is user-edited. Can you find another source to support the fact?
 * Image:SimpsonsMPG 7G09.jpg is not low-resolution as it needs to be for fair use requirements. It should be scaled down to the size of the other image, or smaller.


 * Done and done. I couldn't find a reliable source for the title reference anywhere so I removed that line, but otherwise I think everything else has been fixed by me and Martarius. The Le ft  orium  10:05, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I'm happy to pass the article. — 97198   talk  02:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
