List of The Simpsons guest stars

 * Nominator(s): Gran2, Lemonade51 (talk) 14:19, 13 June 2012 (UTC) 

After months of redesigning and sourcing, we both think this meets the FL criteria now and is worth a shot at nomination. The Simpsons is perhaps renowned for its celebrity guest stars; the main table offers a comprehensive list of every guest star who has appeared on the show, on what episode and their role as well as detailing the origins, the process of how the producers court a star, and celebrities who have rejected making an appearance. We both welcome any suggestions, feedback, critique, et al. Lemonade51 (talk) 14:19, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Support I'm satisfied with the above fixes and current state of the article.  Ruby  2010/  2013  05:26, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Quick comment MOS:HASH tells us not to use the hash to indicates rankings etc, would rename to something along the lines of episode number? Kudos on a great list. NapHit (talk) 21:39, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks. Gran2 21:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "Hartman has made the most appearances, appearing 52 times." Not a big fan of "appearances" and "appearing" coming back-to-back.
 * "Two guest stars: Ricky Gervais and Seth Rogan earned writing credits...". Instead of this awkward colon, try bracketing commas around the names. It will read better if you add them.
 * History: Semi-colon in the first sentence of the section should be a regular old comma.
 * The List of guest stars heading doesn't need the first two words. The similar heading that follows doesn't have them, and they are a touch redundant in any case.
 * Period needed after (i.e. BABF, CABF, etc.) in the pre-table notes. Otherwise the sentence this is in never ends.
 * What makes Simpson Music 500 (ref 455) a reliable source? Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:43, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 * All done. Simpsons Music 500 is the official blog of the show's music editor Chris Ledesma. Thanks for the comments! Gran2 06:41, 5 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Image review: Making a conscious effort to restrain my nitpicking instinct, I can say I found no major copyright related problems.  Good raise  19:19, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
