Chelsea pics

Thanks for that, it could be a useful a site, provided the author is happy for his pictures to be used. I'll have a good browse through when I have a chance. Cheers. SteveO 18:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I found this pretty funny

There's nothing funny about our friend the Hidden Message Vandal... except this: [1].

Also, I think we should start reporting him the second he shows up. Wait until he makes a couple edits so you can be sure it's him, them report him at WP:AIV and point out that he's a sock of The Hidden Message Vandal and point out the page I made and hopefully an admin will block him before he can make 50+ edits like today. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:21, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :D

Cheers for the barnstar, man. I've been doing my best to find as many transfers as possible and keep them in a reasonable order. You've been a great help with the article too though, pal. KUTGW :) - PeeJay 20:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Kwik-E-Mart

I've been cleaning up the page and I think we should try and make the section on the 7-Eleven locations as nice as possible. However, I've run into a wall and I can't think of any other ways to expand it. Do you have any ideas? Thankfully, somebody uploaded an image of one of the locations, which I have included on the Movie page. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:12, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Simpsons GAs

With fiction articles, especially television episodes, going under a planned rationing, I'm just wondering when you and Scorpion0422 will be doing some episode work, beyond a Season 1 improvement drive. I'd certainly love to learn more about "Deep Space Homer" and "The Cartridge Family". By the way, which do you intend to see first? Transformers or The Simpsons Movie? By sheer blessing, my cinema has previews of the former so I don't have to make such a drastic choice. Alientraveller 14:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

The Simpsons Movie

Well yeah, that's excellent. I mean really, The Simpsons is the possibly the greatest self-deprecation humanity has ever created, though I don't want to sound too profound. So yeah, add it, it'll be excellent. I mean really, articles like Religion in The Simpsons should be featured. Have you read The Gospel According To The Simpsons by the way? Fantastic.

Of course, I look forward to how we handle cultural riffs. That is also what The Simpsons is about: actually notable parodies. Alientraveller 16:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Whaaaaa??? You're much better than me at reception sections, I hate the opiniated buggers, but you wrote Notting Hill within a week. Thanks for the kind words on Transformers. Anyway, I started the themes section. Alientraveller 16:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

We're both working on it mate, because lest we forget, The Simpsons is a collaborative process. Alientraveller 16:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[2] You know, I think Entertainment Weekly read Wikipedia. Don't you? Alientraveller 21:24, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the cast, I think it's good you've done it in sandbox. Just wait until the film so we can see which characters are the most important. I really like the out-of-universeness of the current article. Alientraveller 16:42, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I've not seen it yet, but I'll probably rewrite when I have. I take it you've seen it, how was it? Alientraveller 20:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Fantastic, I'll take your word for it. I do look forward to seeing Ratatouille too: only two films left on my 2007 list. Alientraveller 20:53, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Not a clue. Alientraveller 18:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Ya!

A little while ago, you commented at the FAC for Hey Ya! that you would be willing to support if a reference was added about the phrase "Shaking it like a Polaroid picture". I added a paragraph about the phrase and Polaroid's response to the song, so I wasn't sure if you had accidentally forgotten to watchlist the FAC or if there might still be some issues with the article.

Thanks for commenting on whether you think 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix is FA standard. I have addressed your concerns, and changed the article to reflect your concerns as necessary. Thanks! Davnel03 15:03, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for commenting again. Is there anything imparticular you dislike about the prose that can help me improve the article. Thanks for the help so far! :) Davnel03 18:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Simpsons animatics

Are you really sure screening animatics is notable? The best way to flesh out that section would be to discuss various storyline decisions that were altered. Alientraveller 19:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe the 2006 Comic-Con is worthy of being in Marketing, but overall I'd rather wait to learn what was rejected. And I don't mean Bart in a coffin: major stuff dropped, like a character's fate. Say Albert Brooks' baddie gets away, but what if they also had planned that he would die? Alientraveller 20:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

No regarding Empire's feature last month. Still, I'll move the vital bit to marketing. Alientraveller 20:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm personally beginning to realise how valuable deleted scenes are: for me production sections used to be "how we did that", now for me it's become "why we did it" on Wikipedia, especially with animated films: how much detail can we go into on rendering CG hair? The Simpsons Movie and its DVD better be worth it! Alientraveller 20:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Singerman

Thanks. Mind, that first picture of Bryan Singer looks like he's going to shoot beams at those who didn't like Superman Returns. LOL. Alientraveller 07:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Reply

Thanks for the page numbers. And about The Simpsons Movie page, I think that if you, me and Alientraveller work at it, we might be able to skip the middle man, do a peer review and go right for FA. The article is coming along nicely, but in its present form a lot of the sections seem like random facts in sentence form, but hopefully we can work on it. Also, I was thinking that perhaps we should change the image on the Cape Feare/Homer's Phobia main page requests to images of the Simpsons star on the Holly wood Walk of Fame. That image might fit better than Kelsey Grammer/John Waters. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:20, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I readded Homer's Phobia to the request. I removed it previously because I thought it would hurt chances if there were two articles but I think I have a good enough pitch. As for the images, I'll leave them but if one gets chosen for the main page, I'll mention to Raul that there is an alternative and see what he thinks. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

While working on the season 1 page, I couldn't find any reliable sources for all of the Emmy nominations, so I decided to cheat a little and use the Emmy database, even though you can't link to it. It's a shame because it really is a good site. I figured that it would be okay, because the Copyright Database is an acceptable source for the episode FL and this is basically the same thing. Hopefully, nobody will notice it, but if they do, I'll simply explain that it is a really good source and is easily confirmable. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Uh-oh

Somebody came out of nowhere and made You Only Move Twice an FAC (here). We'd better get to work... -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 06:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Should we perhaps consider asking the guy to withdraw his nomination? In its present form its nowhere near FA quality. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 06:27, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I have added as much to the Production section from the DVD commentary as I could. The CR section could still use some expanding, and there is a bit about the episode in Planet Simpson, but it goes to some weird territory, so I left it out for the time being. Take a look and see what you think. In other news, our good friend the HMV hit a milestone today by actually returning with an IP he previously used. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I found some free images of Albert Brooks - at least, I THINK they're free, I'm not very good at free image policy - for use on the YOMT page. But, I was wondering if you could upload one (if it is indeed free), because the last time I tried uploading images from Flickr, some jerk tried to get me banned. [3] [4]. I think the second is better, but it's considerably smaller, so I guess the first one is the one to use - if it is free. Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)

I noticed that you deleted the picture of the American DVD cover in this article and I wanted to ask you why you did so. I think the picture should still be in the aricle because the only other picture in the aricle was the European poster for the movie, and there were no posters or other pictures from America or such in the article. Regards,  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 14:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't give into the America-biased editor. I'm very sure if anybody came to the article and saw it named Sorcerer's Stone, most would go "say what?" Alientraveller 19:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Alientraveller- I would like to point out that you have no idea how many people would go "say what?" if the article name was changed. I also would like to say that the American poster should stay (unless there is a policy or something in Wikipedia that says otherwise) in the article also because there is no reason why only the UK/England depiction should be on the page representing the movie, and not the American depiction. This also pertains to the title as, whay should the British title be the name of the article, why not the American title? I also would like to say that the poster also helps illustrate the difference between the two movies; they not only have a different depiction, but also different titles.  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 17:27, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

But if it was named SS, then someone could just the EXACT same thing but saying "why not the British title and poster and not the American?" Gran² 17:30, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I know, and that was the problem I ran into and what people are deciding on the talk page (except it is about the title). I really don't know how anyone would be able to justify this either way, and have no idea how to solve this problem.  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 17:48, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Very true, well said. I suppose, that actually, when a name has been agreed upon, someone could make a joint image of both posters. Then they could both be there and there would be no problem. Gran² 17:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good to me.  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 17:59, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Transformers

Ah, it was excellent. Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are so likeable, and the Autobots are a fantastic motley crew everyone will write fan fiction about for years to come. Optimus Prime's awesome and someone people will look to like a father-figure, with his excellent narration, and Bumblebee is like the perfect brother type. Ratchet = neat, Ironhide = awesome, Jazz = erm... Megatron is scary as hell, and Barricade and Frenzy shone, though most of the Decepticons were characters in the loosest sense; just antagonists, full stop. It's hilarious at times, the plotting is interesting and ILM will win an Oscar for the special effects. Only downfall is the dialogue is a bit muffled at times and the camerawork is blurry during the battles, but fortunately I could tell which robots were which. Alientraveller 20:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Anyway, good luck with that camping. Sounds like a fun way to start the holidays; are you aware of Simpsons screenings on Wednesday though? Alientraveller 20:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Goin' away

I'm going to be away until July 27, so could you please keep an eye on the You Only Move Twice FA and season one FL and address any concerns for me? I think they'll still be going when I get back, but you never know. As well, I am now doubtful that an episode will make the main page on July 27 because a couple users have opposed it, citing that Wikipedia could be accused of advertising. I, of course, doubt that because the release of the 7th harry Potter book made the main page. So, if that's not advertising, neither would a Simpsons TFA on July 27. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Simpsons Movie

Thanks for correcting me where I was off here and there in the article.. Thought it was fully USA today.. and I made a new trivia section. I'm not too good at the wikipedia stuff. Check out the new stuff I posted in the talk page, includes two new photos and a link to someone that has pictures of Matt Groening and David Silverman at the premiere.

oops.. didn't see the removal of the trivia section until just now. Why should that be deleted? I'm sure that people expect to find out some stuff about the movie if they come to the page. Is there a spoiler tag used here? Not trying to be an ass, just trying to figure out the policies of Wikipedia.

Homer's Phobia

I see that this is going to be on the front page soon. I just wanted to let you know that I've been doing some light copyediting for tone and clarity. If you have any concerns, let me know. Zagalejo 19:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, Homer's Phobia, yes. :) Zagalejo 19:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

"The later episodes "Three Gays of the Condo" and "There's Something About Marrying" would again center around homosexuality." (Homer's Phobia)

I changed this sentence because the use of "would again center" is unnecessary here and can be replaced with a simple past tense verb. "Would again center" is what User:Tony1 calls the "journalistic backslung conditional" (see his comments at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Featured_log/December_2006#Star_Wars_Episode_IV:_A_New_Hope or Wikipedia:Featured_article_review/archive/November_2006#Lottie_Dod.) I added the dates for the sake of precision, so that users could know how much later those two episodes came after "Homer's Phobia."

You're entitled to your own opinions, of course, but I just wanted to explain my thought process here. Zagalejo 21:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll ponder it for a while. I do think this article still needs more copyediting, however. Look at this sentence, for example: "The two ideas were combined and became this episode, that was originally entitled 'Bart Goes to Camp', but it was changed as 'no one got it.'" What does the last "it" refer to? There's no clear antecedent, although I think you're talking about the title of the episode. Zagalejo 22:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am back

Yeah, I just got home. My trip didn't go too well because myself and some friends were camping in an area where a known murderer is on the loose, so I was rather glad to get home. I'm going to see the movie in a few hours, so I'll see what I can do when I get back. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

The Simpsons Movie Plot

Has bloated beyond use with horrible, horrible turns of phrase.

I have hacked it down, give it a look:

"The film opens with Green Day are playing a concert at Lake Springfield as they finish their song they try talk about the environment, angering the audience. Their barge dissolves and sinks, killing them. Lisa starts to talk about the environment, with no success until she meets a boy named Colin and they combine their efforts to give a talk called “An Irritating Truth”, after which the town decide to clean up the lake.

During a series of dares Homer and Bart end up at Krustyburger where a pig Krusty has finished using a commercial is to be slaughtered, and Homer adopts him, and he keeps the pig's “leavings” in an overflowing silo, horrifying Marge who tells Homer to dispose of it safely.

While waiting in a queue at the dump Homer that Lard Lad Donuts has been shut down and they are giving away free donuts. Homer decides on a quicker means of disposal and dumps the silo into the lake, causing it to become heavily polluted.

A mutated squirrel is captured by the EPA and Russ Cargill, head of the EPA, tells President Schwarzengger that Springfield is so polluted that the government must take drastic action. Springfield is sealed in a giant glass dome

The police reveal that Homer polluted the lake and an angry mob approaches the Simpson's house, the family escapes through a sink hole, which is then filled by the rubble from the Simpson's house. While on the run Homer proposes that the entire family move to Alaska,

In Springfield, the townspeople go crazy and attempt to break the dome. Russ Cargill tells the President that they can't keep Springfield in this state forever and Cargill he asks the President to choose another plan.

In Alaska, the family see an advertisement presented by Tom Hanks promoting a new Grand Canyon, to be located where Springfield is. Marge and the kids decide that they must save Springfield, but Homer refuses to help the town that tried to kill him.

After visiting with a mysterious Native American Homer has a vision and reaches an epiphany: he cannot survive without others, and must save Springfield and his family.

Marge, Lisa and Bart are captured by Cargill, and returned to Springfield. Cargill appears and tells the town that they are going to be killed and Springfield completely destroyed. A helicopter arrives and opens a hole at the top of the dome, lowering down a bomb.

Homer climbs the dome, making it to the top of the dome and jumping through the hole, knocking the escaping town people and bomb off the rope. Homer notices a motorcycle, grabs Bart, cycles up the side of the dome and Bart throws the bomb through the hole, detonating it and shattering the dome. The town praises Homer, Marge and Homer ride off on the motorbike into the sunset. The film ends with the everyone restoring Springfield, including the Simpsons' house, back to the way it was."

A trim 502 words. Darrenhusted 00:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Right, I enjoyed it. The plot will probably need to be rewritten, because the first part of the film was so sketchy, and will require more focus. After that, it'll be easy to summarise. Alientraveller 19:05, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

An idea

I had an idea for a Simpsons related FT - why not "The Itchy & Scratchy Show" or "Itchy & Scratchy episodes" - the topic would include the main article and the 5 episodes. I think getting all 6 would be easy, but there are problems:

1. It might not count as a "well-defined topic"
2. The FT people might want to include Krusty
3. The FT people might want to include The Simpsons

Thoughts? We could try - we would 4 more episode GAs and a non-episode GA out of it. Getting I&S promoted would be easier than it sounds because a lot of the key info is concentrated in the 5 I&S episode commentaries. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:51, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I have started work on the I&S page here. Basically, I listened to the commentaires for Itchy & Scratchy & Marge and Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie and copied down all the info I think will be useful. As well, I copied info that can be used on the individual pages. As soon as we get enough info from the 6 episodes, we can start clean up. In terms of individual episodes, I'll do the first 2 (I&S&M and I&S:Movie), you can do 2 of your choice (The Front, The Day the Violence Died or Itchy & Scratchy Land) and we'll share the extra one. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

The Simpsons Theme Song

I have created a page for the theme song because since it is now a charted single, I figured somebody would do it. It needs some history of the song though, so I was wondering if you could take a look. You are also MUCH better at finding sources than I am. Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:27, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:

Does it matter how long the film has been out? Buc 05:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Just wait then. At least it's out and there's Box office information. Alientraveller 07:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Your contributions listed on your userpage

Hey, thanks for your FA vote for Through the Looking Glass (Lost). I'm curious about how on your userpage, it says things like, "Always will be GA." Couldn't they eventually become FA's? You can just answer here. --thedemonhog talk • edits 07:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

What I mean, is they just don't have enough sources to get higher than GA, their GA class, but they are not FA quality, and most likely never will be FA. Only episodes with a load of significance can reach FA, and something like Grade School Confidential doesn;t have that. Gran² 07:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Congrats

It is really awesome to see someone who loves the simpsons and is committed to improving articles. I hope to follow in your footsteps. in my spare time at school I improve as many articles as i can. How do you make an awesome user page like yours? with all the tags and stuff?

The Simpsons Pictures

Yeardley Smith, along with Matt Groening, were the only notable cast staff members. The others were just writers, producers, etc.. Bill Morrison was there but I couldn't get a good photo of him.

RE:TSM

LOL! I believe that is the first time that I've been thanked for failing an article. The Simpsons WikiProject is a beast; I'm sure it'll be GA in no time.--Esprit15d 14:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

It passed!

I'm so happy that You Only Move Twice has finally passed because truth be told, I think it's a MUCH better article than Homer's Enemy. And, season 1 will soon be passed too, so The Simpsons WP has 2 new featured pages to brag about.

As for the I&S potential FT, I think we should change it to "Episodes relating to The Itchy & Scratchy Show", because then we don't have to worry about the List of Itchy and Scratchy cartoons, which is an absolute mess and would be VERY hard to find reliable sources for the later seasons. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I worked on the production section of Part One quite some time ago, but I never got around to finishing the job. I disagree with a merge, but we'll cross that bridge once we reach it. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I guess it's worth a try. I'll take a look at it, then nominate it later. I'm going away on Sunday, so you'll have to address any concerns after that. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:24, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to put an image of Matt Groening on the page, but I can't find a suitable place, because there is already an image in the creation section and a chart in the Executive producers section. Any suggestions? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:52, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm proud to note that in about 15 minutes, I improved Groundskeeper Willie quite a bit, taking it from a 40+ KB mish mash of useless one episode info to a rather decent page. It still needs work before it's even near GA status, but I'm rather happy with it. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Could you do me a favor and revert the list of recurring characters to this version? Some user keeps removing Helen Lovejoy and I'm on the brink of 3RR and can't do it myself. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

FA

An easy way to check if an article has been promoted is to check if it has been added to the Wikipedia:Featured articles page by Raul. Buc 07:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)

Hey Gran2, we've got an issue on the talk page where the user who keeps adding more detail to the plot section is complaining we're not giving an accurate picture of the film. If you'd go and add your thoughts, that would be helpful. Additionally, I converted the cast table to a list, tell me what you think. It unfortunately suffered major editing and contains a link to the complete list. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

That worked out well

Perhaps we should collaborate more often on episode pages.

And, you may disagree, and we don't have to do these episodes together, but I think these episodes should be our priority for getting to GA status

• Some Enchanted Evening (The Simpsons episode) (although Maitch was working on it...)
• Krusty Gets Busted (Introduced a pivotal character, inspired a dozen future episodes)
• Treehouse of Horror (The first THOH episode)
• The Way We Was (Inspired a bunch of future flashback episodes)
• Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment (Submitted for Emmy consideration)
• Stark Raving Dad (Huge episode that involved Michael Jackson and is quite famous)
• Mr. Plow (Submitted for Emmy consideration... Plus it's a fan favourite)
• Krusty Gets Kancelled (I've seen this one high up on a number of media Top ten lists)
• A Streetcar Named Marge (Also submitted for Emmy consideration... Plus it's a fan favourite)
• Homer's Barbershop Quartet (Lots of good production info and cultural refs)
• Rosebud (The Simpsons episode) (Top 5 episode from EW)
• Deep Space Homer (Again, lots of good production info)
• A Star Is Burns (Matt Groening disliked the episode, and would make for a good page if we can find good sources)
• Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One) and Part Two)
• Mother Simpson (Okay, this one is just one of my favourites... But it is a fan favourite as well)
• Two Bad Neighbors (Highly controversial episode)
• 22 Short Films About Springfield (Format bending episode)
• The Principal and the Pauper (Again, a highly controversial episode)
• The Cartridge Family (Lots of good production info)
• Natural Born Kissers (Matt Groening's favourite episode)

Any episodes to add/subtract from that list? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of GAs, shall The Simpsons Movie be nominated now? Alientraveller 19:16, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Neither have I. And come the DVD, we can make it featured, once we confirm all the cultural references. Alientraveller 19:27, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Starting tomorrow (Sunday), I'll be gone for 8 days. Please keep an eye on the two I&S episode GACs for me, as well as Homer at the Bat and the Simpsons FAC.

As well, some user keeps adding a dozen images to the Kwik-E-Mart page, which seems HIGHLY unnecessary to me, so could you please keep an eye on that?

Finally, I think user:Brendan Moody is working on improving Bart the Genius, so we might have some new blood giving the FT drive some help.

Thanks, and see you in 8 days. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes and account

I have just started an account and I intend to become part of WP:Simpsons like you. I saw your contributions on The simpsons movie and I found your user page. it is very impressive. I want to make a user page but i dont know how to make the userbox list with the scroller and the buttons and the infinite amount of boxes! (Ng-hey!) Can you tell me how?

Thank you so much for your information! I found it really helpful and I will be starting my user page soon. I have already set my sights on Season 4 since it only has three good articles. I have made some major renevations to THOH III on my shcool account (see the THOH III disscusion page) and I am working on the Marge Simpson page. I look forward to being a wikipedian like you and so many others! (sorry if that sounds sappy but i'm really excited)--Simpsons fan 66 22:57, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I created my user page, but the userboxes thing is messed up. The scroller only works for the first half of the user boxes and the rest take up about 4 pages. How do I make the scroller work for the rest of the userboxes?--Simpsons fan 66 00:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thanks heaps for that, it looks great now. I found a good userbox for you, {{user helper}} Enjoy! --Simpsons fan 66 00:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Examination of TSM in history of show

• [5] I found this excellent link which examines The Simpsons Movie as being a mix of the early show's drama and the current slapstick farces. I hope you can incorporate this into the film's article or the main The Simpsons article. Alientraveller 12:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

James Milner Career section

Not really asking for full feedback on this article (although I wouldn’t mind it). I’d just like to know what you feel the best way the divide up the Career section is, by Club, by season, not at all or some other way. Please leave your reply under the section in my talk page named “Milner Career section”. Buc 16:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The Simpsons

When was the Simpsons promoted to FA? Zagalejo 18:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, the discussion doesn't have a blue box around it yet. Are all of the articles in the log guaranteed to be promoted? Attack on Sydney Harbour looks like it's been grilled by Tony and Sandy Georgia. Zagalejo 18:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, looks like you're right. I do think there are still a few things to fix in the article, though. Would you mind if I continued to work on it? Zagalejo 18:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks for being so cooperative. And I don't mean to belittle the hard work you've put into the article; you do deserve a pat on the back for what you've done. Are you really just 15? If so, your accomplishments are even more impressive. Zagalejo 19:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm back again

Yes, I am back and it's good to see that The Simpsons has passed. It seems that that one user has lost interest in Bart the Genius.

Anyway, I think I'm going to start work on the I&S show because I'd love to see more non-TV episode GAs. If you would like to do a joint GA again, I'd be up for it. The way we did things on Homer at the Bat worked out well. If you don't mind, I'd like to do the Production section again because, truth be told, I'm not very good at finding sources, so you're much better at getting nice reception sections than I am. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

It's going to be a couple days before I get back into the episode GA mood, but until then I'll just work on I&S. Speaking of improvements, I just discovered that King-Size Homer is a twice failed GAC, but it still needs a LOT of work.

As well, I was thinking we should possibly think about our next FAC. There was little info on Troy in the season 10 commentary, but he may be our best bet right now. Another one is Some Enchanted Evening, which Maitch already has a good start on in one of his draft pages. As for Bart the Genius, that guy hasn't touched it in over a week and it's close to GA status, so perhaps we should finish it up and nominate it.

Finally, you'll be happy to know that Zagalejo has joined the project and I think he's interested in helping out. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I did some work on I&S here and unfortunately, 5 entire episodes worth of DVD commentaries barely even gave me a paragraphs worth of production info. Any ideas? It should be noted that I haven't listened to The Front, The Day the Violence Died or I&S&Poochie yet and I guess some stuff about the writing staff parody could be thrown in. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:15, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

And just so you know, I just made a main page request for The Simpsons and YOMT. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 06:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

He's only done a couple of commentaries, but he does talk about his voices quite a bit in the commentary for Homer's Enemy. There's not a lot about him in the A Streetcar Named Marge commentary, so don't bother with that one. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Hank Azaria

Great work on this article, and thanks for digging up this link. It'll come in handy for when I expand the Huff page! Brad 20:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't say that it's a terrible article, it's just empty. I won't be doing it for a while anyway, so it's just more time to gather sources. Brad 20:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Simpsons episode screenshots

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the screenshots from Simpsons episodes you've uploaded in the past are in the incorrect aspect ratio. You've taken them from a PAL DVD source, which is encoded using non-square pixels at 720x576, so when played, the video is stretched out to 768x576 to assume the proper 4:3 aspect ratio (just like how NTSC DVD's are encoded with non-square pixels at 720x480 and are squished in to 640x480 to get the 4:3 AR). But the software you used to take these gave you screenshots directly from the non-square pixel video, giving you a 5:4 aspect ratio, and this results in everything in these images looking squished in, making things look taller. So in the future you might want to run them through photoshop after you export them and resize them to something like 720x540 or 640x480 before you upload them. I've fixed a few of the ones you've uploaded, and I'm just telling this so you don't continue to upload them like this in the future! :)

Welcome back

Hello, welcome back. Did you enjoy where you went? Alientraveller 16:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Good, good, I refrained from reviewing Bart the Genius or Hank Azaria because if I had objections, I knew I wouldn't get a response. But when you came back, I went and reviewed the former. Btw, quick question: have you ever had to convince a Flickr user to change the licensing for an image? Alientraveller 16:55, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Here's hoping someone responds to my request for Eva Green. This is the first time I've ever worked on a biography: you can comment what I've done so far, which is in my second sandbox. Alientraveller 17:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I tried looking for it on their site, but I didn't find it. Citing the page you found would count as a copyright violation. On a lighter note, Krusty's scene looked brilliant. Alientraveller 20:04, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Fantastic. Good to hear. I loved the Autobots so much, they were like the wonderful uber-team, unlike the enormous extended family we always see in the comics. Jazz had too little screentime though to actually make his death impactful, he better be resurrected with that Allspark fragment Prime took. Now roll on Grimlock and Soundwave, and more Starscream! Alientraveller 20:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Starscream hates Megatron's guts. This is just something from day one of the franchise, where Starscream clearly stated his desire to become leader in the cartoon and eventually dumped Megatron's wounded body in space. The prequel novel to the film also shows Starscream actually hoped Megatron never be found. It's rumoured among fans Starscream actually shot Megatron along with the human piloted jets. Soundwave is pretty much going to be the one who tries to salvage Megatron: they're basically in love. In one episode of the 1980s cartoon they held hands! Alientraveller 21:08, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Homer at the Bat/Streetcar

Not much happened. Hank Azaria was promoted yesterday, Troy McClure is heading for a pass and I nomed A Streetcar Named Marge, but it would help if you took a look at the plot. It's a very complicated episode and it was difficult to get the main point across - Homer is like Stanley and Marge realizes this - and still keep the section short.

Bart the Genius is still a GAC and that's about it. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 13:59, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, so Streetcar has passed. I think it could be our next FA, as it has a nice large controversy section and can easily be expanded more. However, I think its lack of a large Production section (and I MIGHT be able to get it a bit bigger, but it won't go much further with only the DVD commentaries) hurts it. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it's mentioned in the Mr. Plow commentary, I'm not sure... -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 17:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd love to throw a free image of one of the players onto Homer at the Bat, and there are free images of Clemens, Griffey and Scosia, but my preference is Darryl Strawberry and there isn't a free image of him. Is it possible that you could find a free one of him on Flickr? Although I doubt there will be one, because he retired before the digital camera age, so there likely won't be one of him as a player. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Anyway, Tomorrow I'm going away again. I'll be gone until Wednesday (I think). So, keep an eye on WSMB and have fun. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:20, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

One final thing, could you please keep an eye on the CFD for this category? Since I'm going away, I wouldn't be able to reply to any concerns. I tried nominating it for speedy, but some jerk who follows me around thwarted my evil plans. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Eva Green

Well, I implemented my work now at the article. Any advice or tips? I'm nervous for my first biography before it goes to GAC. Obviously the lead will need expanding, so I'll need help at knowing how to determine what's most important one's life. Alientraveller 22:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

TSM

As I have said several times, South Korea is not a primarily English speaking country, and so its release does not need to be listed. Again, please do not remove the warning. Gran² 07:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Is there some reason as to why you continue to ignore the warning? Its there for a reason: to stop people adding the release date for every country in world. This is the English Wikipedia, so really only the primarily English speaking countries (USA, UK and Australia etc.) should be listed. I'm sorry if you feel South Korea be listed, but its policy, so I urge you to stop adding it. Thank you. Gran² 12:30, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

WHOSE POLICY??? And who are you to "warn" me? Are you the owner of wikipedia? Answer: No.

I was watching the simpsons before you were born, and by the way, the movie was animated right here in Korea, so I DO THINK IT IS VALID.

Primarily English speaking countries? Why are Singapore and the Philippines listed then? Have you ever been to either? Probably not. Have you ever even been outside your own country? I have been to both places - Singapore twice, and the Philippines more times than I can count. The primary languages spoken in Singapore are Mandarin Chinese and Malay, and the primary language in the Philippines is Tagalog and various dialects thereof.

I'm sorry if you feel that your uninformed opinion is more valid than mine, but welcome to life, kid. Rick 14:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Help

Hi, I'm back (again). Anyway, I've decided to work on the season 2 page and try to get it to FL status because it previously failed. However, I have again hit the snag that I don't own the book which has previously been used for sourcing (I looked for it at Chapters, but with little luck). Anyway, would you mind getting the episode page numbers for me? If so, simply throw them somewhere on this page and I'll get around to properly referencing them sooner or later. Thanks for the time, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, I was wondering if you could check the book and see if any first appearances are mentioned. I decided to mention the characters who debuted in season 2 and while the BBC website lists some, it doesn't list all and I had to cheat on a couple (ie. Maude Flanders, Roger Meyers, Sideshow Mel, etc.) and there are several more characters that I would like to add should I be able to get sources. Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'm done and I moved it to the season 2 page, could you please take a look at it? I think some of the plots need a copyediting. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I just discovered that there is a TV season infobox. Should we use it? I personally thing it is unnecessary and would collide with the episode chart, but infoboxes are quite handy and can say things that aren't easy to find in the article (ie. The number of episodes). -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Good Article Medal

No worries mate! I gave scorpion the same one ages ago and I was going to give one to you but I forgot. I remembered recently and checked out the criteria. It's meant to be for contributing to 4-5 good articles, so you are definitley eligible. By the way, do you know whose work that was on "A streetcar named Marge"? I was considering fixing it up then I checked again 3 days later and it had been tremendously improved. Reception, production, the works. How do you nominate stuff for GA/FA? Is it done by a high ranking administrator or something or can anyone do it? --Simpsons fan 66 10:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Is it ok to nominate articles that you have done a lot of work for or does it have to be done by an impartial observer? If it's ok, do you think THOH III might be GA worthy? The production section isn't as big as THOH V but there isn't too much material in the commentary. And do you know where can I get stuff for the reception section? And also, did you realise that in 1 months time, if you have 6000 edits you will be promoted to Experienced and Established Editor?--Simpsons fan 66 02:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Image crop request

I found some free images, but I'm no good with image alterations, so could you upload the following?

• Michael York - Cut out his friend.
• Bill Nighy - Excess background
• Behind-the-scenes photo of Transformers - Cut out a photo of Prime, so we can have a free image of his alternate mode

Thanks very much. Alientraveller 08:23, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll say it again: thank you. Alientraveller 16:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

A Streetcar Named Marge

I think the page is looking very good, do you think it might be ready for an FA run, or should we do a peer review first? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Check this out

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/The Simpsons shorts. I am REALLY getting sick of users who hunt around for decent pages and then nominate them without doing any work themselves, just so they can say "I worked on 1 FL". This is the fourth such case in 2 months (not including GAs). Anyway, I don't think it stands any chance of passing because it fails the criterion that says that the majority of the things listed must have their own pages, but do you know of any sources that could be used for the inidividual episodes? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree 100%. To be honest, I'm amazed that Good Night has lasted this long without once being targeted for deletion/merging, but I guess it has enough real world stuff to get it through. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 17:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't suppose you'd be able to find a colour image of Jon Lovitz? There is one, but it's in black and white and I'd prefer colour. But if it comes down to it, we could use it. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Are we ready to go?

I think we've added everything we can to Streetcar. I've scoured the internet for more sources and have done google searches of every news/media site I could think of with little luck. It could still use a little polishing, but we can nom it now and fix it as we go along. We likely won't get any peer reviews, besides, an FAC is the best peer review out there. So if you approve, I'll nominate it.

By the way, your help has been VERY much appreciated. Most of our other Simpsons FACs (except The Simpsons) have seen most of the work done by one person, but in this case having three people do the work has worked very well. If your interested in working together on another project, do you have any ideas for the next article we could work on? Homer at the Bat is currently the second closest to FA quality, but perhaps we could work on a new page, like a character, because I would love to see more character articles be improved.

Small update: I MAY have found a useable source, although it's kind of a stretch. [6] The author says "Jean was on board as The Simpsons's show runner in its third and fourth seasons, from 1991-'93 - the halcyon years that featured the episodes When Flanders Failed, Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes? and A Streetcar Named Marge - so he knows his Simpsons lore of yore." which insinuates that it is one of his favourites, although he does not specifically say that. It's a stretch, but CanWest is a HUGE media company in Canada (They own Global, which airs new episodes) and it would be great to have something from one of their writers. What do you think? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Part of the reason I chose Bob is laziness. There are only 6 commentary episodes with him, so it would mean less work. I was thinking Lisa because on the commentaries, she is the most discussed on the 5 family members. I'd have no problem with CBG though, but it would be tougher to do a cultural influence section for him. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I was going to say it's your choice... Let's wait and see if Zagalejo is interested in helping. Maybe he'll be less indecisive than us. I'd have no problem with CBG, but I've already got info from 3 DVD commentaries for Bob, so it doesn't matter to me. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't say a LOT of the work is done, I just copied the rough commentary info here. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:17, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: HP5

Thanks, but you deserve a lot of credit too! You're right about the DVD -- we should probably hold off on trying to make it featured until it comes out, about three months from now. I do hope we get a frenzy of information on six next week -- when OOP started filming at the beginning of February, a whole bunch of casting news was made public. Apparently Dan knows who's been cast as Slughorn, too, so that should be forthcoming, I hope! --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 17:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Need a source

For season 2, the three eyed fish episode won an Environmental Media Award but I haven't mentioned it on the page because I couldn't find any source other than SNPP or IMDB, not even the EMA website mentions it. You're better than I am at finding sources, do you think you'd be able to find one?

As well, I've finished adding commentary info to the Bob page, so I'll start organizing that eventually. There isn't as much as I had hoped there would be, so we should try and find some interviews. That Top 25 episodes EW article has several comments about Bob, so it could be used as a source. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:09, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Homerpalooza

Why do you think the No Doubt pic has more relevance in Homerpalooza than the Cypress Hill one. From what I remember, they don't even mention No Doubt by name, and who knows if that is really them? Maybe I'm wrong, and they did, let me know. Ctjf83 03:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Check out the contributions of this guy, (put 69.69.47.139 into the search bar), he has made two good contributions and the rest are rubbish. I have undone all the errors he has made so far, but he might make more in the future. He's clearly not a vandal, but he's not far off. I particulary enjoyed his contribution to the Kamp Krusty continuity section. "When all the kids are roasting pinecones, Dolph tells Bart to shut up and eat his pinecone." How is this relevant?

I did a quick search, but nothing much on Williams apart from how he wishes to return for the seventh film. What you could do is dress it up, with information on the soundtrack, for an overall sense of "music". That's what was done for 300. Alientraveller 15:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

A bloody good fan site still isn't a reliable source. How popular is it? Has Rowling endorsed it the way Spielberg endorsed SpielbergFilms.com? I think the current differences section is fine, unless you can find essays for thematic differences.

WP:SIMPSONS

I've noticed that a lot of people have been signing up for the project, but few have been doing anything for it, so I think from now on I'm going to leave a welcome message for anyone who joins - it would basically just be a "welcome to the project, here are our goals, here's what we've done, here's what were doing, if you need any help, ask ___ or ____" and with luck, that may net a couple good users.

As well, I was thinking that perhaps we should try asking everyone to reconfirm their membership (This has been done by severa; WPs, such as WP:OLYMPICS a few months ago). A lot of people have disappeared and if we did that, it would show who is still interested and maybe get a few more people active. What do you think? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

As well, I am currently working on cleaning up the List of One-time characters and making it less crufty and have more real world info. I modeled it after the Futurama one-timers list which, ironically, will likely soon be deleted.

Hi! I heard from Scorpion that you are quite good on the reception sections. Kamp Krusty just failed a GA becuase it had unreferenced cultural references and a continuity section, which is apparently bad form. These issues have been addressed with help from Scorpion but the reption section remains unfullfiled. I am in the process of making a reference to that bbc site you use, but should I include ratings from TV.com, IMDB, ect? --Simpsons fan 66 23:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

WOW! Thanks so much for the award! All the more so becuase if you convert the time you gave me the award to the time it is here in Australia, you actually gave me the award on the 6th October, Six being my lucky number. Sadly the same can't be said of the time that KK became a GA, oh well.

Now, to business. Before I progress with hit and run, I would like an opinion from you and scorpion. I want to create a sandbox page where I can save test edits and the like. How do I create one? And how do I change the 66 on my signatures to link to the talk page like yours? I know where to do it but what code should I put in? --Simpsons fan 66 22:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree with every merge, let's add Mona Simpson to that list. We should leave Milhouse with his own page for now, because merging him would cause a minor riot among many fans. As for Moleman, Cletus & Martin, we should keep them for the time being but try and find some independant sources that prove their notability. They no doubt exist for Moleman & Cletus, but Martin will be a little tougher. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 13:45, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Very nice. I don't know if descriptions are really needed though, but oh well. And, I have started a discussion about character pages at the WP talk page. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I found a few sources that could be handy.

• An EW review of the show from November 1990 [7]
• EW's "Fourteen guest stars whose standout performances on TV make us wish they'd turn up in a Simpsons Movie 2" [8] It could be a good source for reception sections. (Update: I just read it, and it really isn't that useful, but we could quote a few sentences. And, I found it funny that this image is the exact same one Wikipedia uses)

As well, I'm liking the way He Loves to Fly and He D'oh's is shaping up. It's got a decent reception section (and Al Jean called it one of his favourite episodes, so that could be added) and if we could add a decent Production section, we could have a shot at getting it to GA.

Finally, this user has decided to go after the DVD cover images because he dislikes the fact that their all listed on the main DVD boxset page. I'm trying to convince him to simply remove them from the DVD page but still let them be used on the individual seasons. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

He Loves to Fly and He D'oh's

I've been working on getting the page to GA status, but I think I need some refs. We can get away with not having a production section (see: Hell on Earth 2006) but we'd need to makie it up elsewhere. Anyway, if you could find some sources, it would be much appreciated.

I just found an interview with Colbert where he talks about his role in the show. It can be found here, but I can't watch it because I'm using a computer with busted speakers. Could you please watchy it and add relevant info? Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Do you think this is a useable source? I've been looking for one that gives the cast and crew and it seems pretty accurate. However, I'm not sure if Yahoo is a RS or not. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
