Title Reference

Possible reference to "Dance of Death"?

On the Simpsons archive there is nothing that would indicate this link, so that means there is prabally no reference to "Dance of Death". Rhino131 22:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nose

Why is Santa's Little Helper's nose white in this episode? Ryan Holloway (talk) 22:37, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First time non-Homer says d'oh

The article claims that this episode is the first time a non-Homer character says "d'oh," but Bart says D'oh in "Bart the Murderer." Is this a mistake? 24.71.226.121 (talk) 02:37, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I have removed the sentence from the article. Thanks! The leftorium 15:13, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Dog of Death/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the lead, "...the family starts to feel the strain of their sacrifices and begins treating him badly", with "begins", reads odd. Suggestion, maybe replace "starts" with "begins" and "begins" with "starts". In the Plot, "When Bart goes to Burns's" ---> "When Bart goes to Burns'". Question, about the plot, is "for example" needed? Just a question.
Check.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
An accessdate might be nice for Ref. 14.
Check.

B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

C. It contains no original research:

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
Not that much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

All done. Removed "for example". Thank you for reviewing! The leftorium 22:18, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you to Theleftorium for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:30, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from Russian nuclear weapon?

Hello all, I am from the list of nuclear weapons page, specifically the Russian/Soviet section. Apparently the '8F17' 3 megaton warhead for R-16/SS-7 ICBM redirects to a Simpsons page? Activatedyeast (talk) 06:47, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
