Hi there, I've moved the page back to Tracey Ullman show. See Here for why. Telly addict 18:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
I responded on the Simpsons talk page about how to edit the secondary characters, specifically, whether to include episodes in which the characters play a substantial role in driving the plot. The feeling among the few people who have posted tends to be one of removing those sections. I think some discussion here would be worthwhile. -- takethemud 02:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Why do you say the Peabody award on The Simpsons page is needed? It sounds sorta rubbish to me... -- Silva Storm
I've noticed that you've been making some changes to the Cape Feare article. If you need some stuff for it, I can get some image caps no problem (perhaps a capture of the rake joke?) Also, this episode placed very highly on the NoHomers Club Top 100 a couple years ago, and although I'm not sure if it would count as a source, you could include it as fan reception. In the test page, there are a few grammer errors that you may want to clean up. -- Scorpion 20:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I was just wondering if you'd made a request for the Simpsons article to be on the main page. July 27, April 19 and May 20 were the three dates discussed on the Simpsons page. I was thinking we should try for July 27 (or April 19) for The Simpsons and May 20 for Cape Feare should it be promoted, although we would probably have a hard time getting an episode on the main page. If you like, I can make the request and assemble the shortened main page version. -- Scorpion 01:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
A while back you said that there was a chapter about The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase in the book Leaving Springfield. As I don't have it, could you add any of the useful info it has etc. Plus any other genral improvements to the article. Thanks. Gran2 19:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I proposed this a while ago and you were opposed to it, but the staff categories have been deleted and I have created a Simpsons writers template, and I planned to make a directors, cast (which wouldn't include recurring guest stars) and possibly EPs.

Just so you know, Gran2 and I have decided to try to get Season 8 and its episode articles to Featured topic. It's a big job as we would have to get every page to GA status, the season 8 page to FL status and a couple FAs wouldn't hurt. If you would be willing to help by working on a couple of episodes pages, it would be much appreciated. Gran and I agreed to take 5 episodes and work on them for the time being. Gran has In Marge We Trust, Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment, Lisa's Date with Density and The Springfield Files and I'm working on THOH VII, You Only Move Twice, The Homer They Fall, Hurricane Neddy and Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious. -- Scorpion 23:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I just found out that this image needs to say where it came from before it can go on the main page. I have no idea where it came from, do you? -- Scorpion 16:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for the update. I think you have a lot of good stuff there, and the Turner book is a nice source. However, it seems like some of the material (eg, Lisa's activism, the influence of SCTV, etc) is already mentioned elsewhere in the article. Also, the section doesn't really say much about the plots of the show; it seems to concentate primarily on the themes. Common plot elements that might deserve a mention include: Homer's getting a new job, Bart pulling a prank, family taking a trip, etc. I do think we should mention plots and themes, though; maybe the section itself deserves a different title.
There are a few prose issues (style, grammar), as well, but let's decide upon the content before worrying about that.
Anyway, those are just some thoughts. Thanks for your efforts; I think we're almost there. Is Homer's Phobia a FA, too? I didn't realize it; that's pretty cool. Zagalejo 22:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

In his 2004 book Planet Simpson, Chris Turner writes, "The basic premise of the Simpsons is right out of sitcom-land: it's a series about family life in a typical American town. . . . And yet, from this [premise], the show's writers have painted a series of sprawling satirical portraits worthy of Hieronymus Bosch." [1] Some Simpsons plots involve relatively mundane situations, such as Bart's problems with a school bully or Lisa's crush on a substitue teacher. Other plots, meanwhile, are more far-fetched. For example, Homer Simpson has served as an astronaut, and the entire family once battled theme-park robots gone amok in a parody of the film Westworld.
Turner describes Springfield as a "whole satirical universe" in which the characters can explore all themes of modern society. [2] Through Bart's and Lisa's days at Springfield Elementary School, the show critiques the American education system. Springfield's vast, in-universe media landscape, which has everything from kids' television programming to local news, allows the show to satirize the American entertainment industry. [3] With characters like Mayor Quimby, Reverend Lovejoy, and Chief Wiggum, the series lampoons politicians, religious leaders, police officers, and other authority figures. [4] According to Matt Groening, the show's creators deliberately put Homer in a nuclear power plant to "make a point about the environment." [5] (In one episode, for example, the polluted waters near the power plant give rise to a three-eyed fish named Blinky.)
The show sometimes displays a fondness for progressive ideals, often reflecting a liberal bias. However, Turner notes that the series does make jokes from both sides of the political spectrum. [6]

Hey, thanks for your offer of help. It'd be good to see a draft of a guide suitable for use for ALL types of episodes, perhaps integrating some of the usable stuff currently on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episodes page. (That page is liable to be weeded of that stuff, following the likely broadening of the WikiProject). It's good to start with a proposal, and easy enough then to fiddle with a few minor details to bring it in line with everyone's ideas. I think if we help people to start GOOD articles in the first place, rather than just churn out little stubs from templates, then half the battle's won, as it were.

All that needs to be done on my season 1 draft page is the episode descriptions. But, I decided to put a history of the debacle surrounding Some Enchanted Evening and used some of the text from your draft page. So, I was wondering if you could take a look and tell me what you think. As well, 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. But, do you think it's a useable source?

To be honest, I'm amazed that the page for Good Night has gone this long without being targeted. On a side note, do you have any suggestions for A Streetcar Named Marge? The page is good, but I think it could use a little more content. -- Scorpion 0422 17:03, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started ( 2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:30, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:LOTD) 17:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:30, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:LOTD) 17:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I have seen you not agree (like me) on deleting the Denmark national football team season articles, as you removed a tag for the 2006 article. Please compete in the debate on Talk:Denmark national football team season 2007. ka la ha 17:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Please have a look at Special Simpsons edition triple crown offer It seems from our estimation that, all you would need is to create or expand greatly from stub a Simpsons related article, and you'd be eligible for one of Durova ( talk · contribs)'s Triple Crowns. Let us know if you are interested at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Simpsons/Featured topic Drive. Thanks. Cirt ( talk) 18:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC).
