Treehouse of Horror VI
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I want to improve this article for Featured status, as with Treehouse of Horror V. I think this would be a good simpsons article. I want anyone to help improve this article here.

 * Write a lead which fully summarzies the article. One sentence is not good enough. It should be at least one paragraph. See WP:LEAD
 * Don't use in-line HTML links (they appear as [1] and so on in the article) - Format these properly as citations. See Citing sources and Citation templates.
 * Most of this article is unreferenced - every paragraph needs at least one footnote, but usually more.
 * Convert Cultural references section to prose. Lists are frowned upon for one major reason: They ruin the flow of the context. Using lists in this way is incorrect usage. Please see Lists for correct usage.
 * Awards section is too short - consider placing it elsewhere so it doesn't look all alone.
 * Similarly, the Opening sequence section is too short.
 * "Math equations" is a troubling section - very trivial information, and none of it is referenced.
 * Consider adding a spoiler template to the start of the Plot section.
 * "This segment is a parody of Nightmare on Elm Street." - Consider using past tense here. Try "This segment was a parody of Nightmare on Elm Street." instead.
 * Please get a copy-editor to go through the text. See Peer_review/volunteers for a list of people who may be able to help you.
 * Please see User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a for help with satisfying FA Criteria 1a, which concerns quality of writing.
 * It is vital you pay attention to Featured article criteria if you want this to become featured.
 * Once you have done all of this, submit to WP:GA instead of WP:FA at first - a GA reviewer might give you even more feedback. GA is the second step to featured article status after a peer review.

Ruhrfisch comment: A model article is useful to follow for ideas on structure, citations, style, etc. There are 25 Simpsons FA's at Category:FA-Class The Simpsons articles including an FA on the whole Treehouse of Horror series, and 83 GA's at Category:GA-Class The Simpsons articles, included Treehouse of Horror episodes III, V, VII and VIII. I would look at these for ideas. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:35, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
