Working definition[edit]

The working definition is, "the episodes of season 8 of the Simpsons".--Pharos 02:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vital improvements[edit]

This topic satisfies current criteria just fine.--Pharos 02:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria has recently been changed and requires that this topic get two more (6 total) FAs and will have six mounts to do this. Zginder^{(talk) (Contrib)} 21:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FA potentials[edit]

Per above comment by Zginder (talk · contribs), 2 more FAs are needed to maintain WP:FT status on this topic. FA potential candidates? Please list below. Cirt (talk) 22:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the ones that are easiest to expand are the ones with obvious external references: The Springfield Files, Brother from Another Series, and Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious, and ones with messages: Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment and In Marge We Trust. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 00:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2 more potentials. Cirt (talk) 07:59, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Potential improvements[edit]

It would be nice is some more of the episodes could be promoted to FA.--Pharos 02:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The closest right now would be You Only Move Twice which has undergone a peer review, but not much has been done to improve the page lately. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:43, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible additions[edit]

I do not believe any additions to this topic would be possible.--Pharos 02:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note[edit]

For those interested, there is currently a drive to get The Simpsons (season 1) to FT status. It is similar to the drive that got season 8 featured. The project page can be viewed here, although most involved are burnt out from working on season 8 and not much has been done recently. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
