Some Enchanted Evening (The Simpsons)
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because...

I was expecting this, a crucial part of The Simpsons ' early years, to be at GA level all this time. One day last week, I went to its talk page--and my mind went something like, "Hey, why isn't this one yet?" One look at the assessment class, and you'll know why.

I'm sorry if I haven't followed Homer, Bart and company that much in ages. Don't get me wrong, I may like this show, but I have other interests in my pursuit, like The Bellflower Bunnies (whose TV show list I'm helping to improve right now through PR.)

So first and foremost, to end this request: How complete is this article?

Ok, I'm not a regular contributor to episode articles, but I will compare this article to a recently featured TV episode The Last Temptation of Krust; If you do that, I think you'll have an FA :)Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The lead should have about 3-4 sentences on the plot, as you would have no idea what it is if you read this lead.
 * A sentence related to reception should be included at the end of the lead.
 * Fair use rationales are very vague; you must say exactly what is being demonstrated by using an image, and why it is really important to demonstrate it.
 * There should be an image of the most significant moment in the show in the plot or production section, whichever is more appropriate.
 * The deleted scenes section should be deleted and anything useful incorporated into the production section.
 * In the cultural references section, add detail as to how people reacted to the references, whether they worked or not, that kind of thing.
 * Ask people at Wikiproject Simpsons if they can get you a few quotes from Simpsons books about the episode and how good it was or wasn't.
 * Bulk up the reception section with stuff like the DVD commentary of the episode.
 * After that, copyedit the heck out of it, take it to the league of copyeditors for help or do a peer review focusing on prose. Make sure it flows.

I am the main author of this article and my plan was to take it to FA, but I stopped because I don't believe anymore that this can reach FA. There are simply not enough sources. I have used up everything from the commentary, looked in the most common Simpson books, and the cultural references and the reception section are still too short.

I could do some more work on it. Bulk up the lead and do something about the images. If somebody could copyedit it I would appreciate it. Then we will have a GA. --Maitch (talk) 10:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
