Will review this soon. Ruby 2010/2013 17:05, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- "It functions mainly as a parody of the television show Mad Men, in which the guest voices John Slattery and Matthew Weiner are an actor and the creator respectively. " I don't think this quite says what you mean it to say
- "Critics found the episode to be mediocre. It was neither bad nor great, but the episode did receive criticism for wasted opportunities with the Mad Men parody." "Neither bad nor great" is not very encyclopedic (also make clear this is critics' opinions)
- "When the bullies watches him reading a classic novel at school, the bullies force him to read Little Women to them." Don't like the repetition of "bullies" here
- Plot: Wikilink first mention of Marge
- I think the rafting part of the plot section needs to be fleshed out a little more. Marge catches who? And why?
- Wikilink A-Plot
- "The episode even recreated a scene from Mad Men..." -> "The Man in the Blue Flannel Pants" even recreated... (to distinguish it from Donnie Fatso)
- Unitalicize IGN
- Any significance to the episode title? What is it referencing?
- The title is probably a reference to the film The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, but I don't have a source for it.--Maitch (talk) 16:22, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
- Prince Wilhelm was never the crown prince, he was the son of the crown prince
- "...and an six percent audience share." an -> a
- Reception: Italicize The Simpsons
- Based on the reviews you provided, I wouldn't call the episode mediocre. Maybe say there were mixed reviews? Or something similar?
- I was a bit unsure on the wording. I use the word "mixed" when the critics disagree, but here they almost all agreed that it was an episode that was nothing spectacular and yet not terrible either. Do you have any better suggestions? Otherwise I will just use "mixed" as we write in almost all episode articles.--Maitch (talk) 16:28, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
- I used the term "average in quality" now. --Maitch (talk) 21:38, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
- What makes this reviewer a reliable source? Is she part of the editorial staff? I want to make sure it's not just someone's blog
- Daemon's TV has an editorial staff, which she is a part of (look at [1]).
- Ref 10 says it's in German twice
- Found a potentially useful link.
While I wrote a long list, each individual issue really isn't very difficult to resolve. I'll place the review on hold for seven days with this in mind. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 18:47, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for the review. I will try and fix these issues. However, since the holidays are coming up, I probably won't be able to respond as fast as usual. --Maitch (talk) 16:06, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, I believe I am done fixing your issues with the article. --Maitch (talk) 21:39, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
