Greg Daniels

Hey, I'm currently working on Greg Daniels's article and hoping to make it a good article. I heard you were great at making Simpson writers articles great and I was wondering if you could help. NoD'ohnuts (talk) 01:41, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Phone number

Hey, how many digits are phone numbers in the UK? Someone on Youtube told me 6. I was questioning why Craig David's song 7 Days (song) he says it'll cost her, her name, a 6 (not 7 like in America which confused me) digit number and a date. CTJF83 20:27, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Ahh, cool, thanks....the song makes more sense now being that David is British. CTJF83 21:47, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Re: List of The Simpsons video games

Thank you! I came across the article for the first time, and was disgusted at how bad it looked. So I decided, "Hey! I love The Simpsons, why not do something for them on Wikipedia?" Damn! I must have forgot to add that one! I was copy and pasting each part and re-stylizing it in my sandbox, and I must have removed that one without copying it back by mistake. Do you have any suggestions on the image? I couldn't think of a single thing to put there. — Status {^talk_contribs 10:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I was thinking about doing that, but I wasn't sure if it would be allowed or not. — Status {^talk_contribs 10:28, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Yeah; I've gone and just removed it. If all else fails, I could just add the logo and be done with it. :P — Status {^talk_contribs 10:33, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Simpsons Guest Stars

Thanks for taking the time to source the list. I take the ones you left out (like Phil Hartman) are not in the book? If so, need not worry, I found the full list of every voice actor in every single episode on InBaseline's website, which I feel is a reliable source → "world's preeminent premier provider of film and television information". I'll be happy to fill them in if required (of course the book should be the primary source and I unfortunately don't have access to). – Lemonade51 (talk) 21:12, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Right, have a problem with sourcing The Tiger Lillies. Not on Inbaseline, nor in the Press release. How reliable is this source (Chris Ledesma blog)? Just need to finish adding the rest of the refs, add picture descriptions and it's all set. – Lemonade51 (talk) 17:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Now we have a big, big problem with the list now. Inbaseline has become deaded and been replaced with StudioSystem, which hasn't launched but looks to me as a paywall alternative. Any ideas how to solve this? -- Lemonade51 (talk) 10:30, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

How about Yahoo TV? Checked some episodes from various seasons and it looks completed and accurate. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 13:38, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Have completed replacing the links. Should be all good from here now. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 16:11, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Great! So...what does this mean now? Replace the links? -- Lemonade51 (talk) 14:21, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Noticed a bot has archived the peer review. Want to revert it or you think it's ready now for FLC? -- Lemonade51 (talk) 11:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Yep, we can do a joint FLC now. I've just reverted the PR and hope to get it reviewed by the end of next week. Think WP:ALT is the only outstanding issue and prose just needs to be checked. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 12:02, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Have finished adding the image descriptions. All set for FLC; I suggest you move the line "(if the members of bands with speaking roles are counted separately, but bands who merely perform a song are counted as one)" to the footnote section as it does not hold much relevance in the main text. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 12:58, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Long time no chat...Noticed the FLC has started to stagnate, perhaps we could drum up interest and notify active Simpsons editors to have a look at it on respective talkpages? Or just leave a message on the Wikiproject. Lemonade51 (talk) 18:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Springfield

I see the challenge, but hopefully we'll gradually run out of editors who read neither Edit summaries nor Talk pages. HiLo48 (talk) 22:55, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Matt Groaning

I've actually heard that thing about the short story before, but I've never actually seen a reliable source that he claims it in. I've learned that Matt often contradicts himself, so what he says in a single interview should be taken with a grain of salt. For example, he's claimed in all recent interviews that Homer was named after his father, but there was a period when he claimed Homer was named after the character from Day of the Locust. My all-time favourite example is his claim that Elizabeth Taylor got sick of recording her part for Maggie and told the writers to fuck off. Then on a DVD commentary last year, he said it wasn't true, and acted like the story was made up by internet fans. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:09, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Ronnie Barker

Only on Wikidia would you get an editor claiming there to be any issue with the fact that Ronnie Barker was English. If you have an issue with English actors being described as English, perhaps you could also try your luck changing all the Scottish and Welsh article where there is no reference to such a description of them being Scottish or Welsh. Instead of trying to claim some kind of page ownership, perhaps it would be better to see what the greater Wikipedia community thinks to Barker being correctly described as Engish, instead of you instantly reverting it to suit your POV.

Wow I used to put so much effort into my nominations. I'd tried to forget about that debacle. I've never really found a reason as to why she was listed as a guest star. Someone at NHC told me a while back that it was because in the early days, they credited everyone of note as guest stars for promotional purposes, and they just fell into the habit of doing it. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:23, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Brush with Greatness

So what exact material is needed as a source for the Ringo Starr song used in this episode? All the reader has to do is YouTube it if they want verification. Pretty simple in this day and age. I don't think there's any need to remove something so easily checkable just because it doesn't have a source. In this case I strongly believe it should be included, since I'm sure there'll be some viewers wanting to know what the (highly popular) song is. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:03, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Never mind, I went ahead and grabbed a source from IMDb. I trust that'll be alright. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:21, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

The Simpsons: Access All Areas

Considering that few TV programs make the 20+ years mark, I would think it is relevant and significant to The Simpsons. I know The Simpsons: Access All Areas received little coverage but, considering that the documentary's page no longer exists, the only relevant area would be The Simpsons article. There may be several programs about The Simpsons but I doubt all of them focus with the 20th anniversary. Yes, the United States Postal Service "The Simpsons" stamps mention is more significant but I feel having Simon Cowell and Hugh Hefner as guests may also suggest significance.

The nerd that ruined it

Al Jean has made his thoughts on The Principal and the Pauper known. The man who brought us That '90s Show and the episode where Fat Tony died said "I just thought it was throwing away the past." I thought you might enjoy the hypocrisy, so here's a full transcript [3] -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Nope. The commentaries aren't very informative this time around. They don't give a lot of great info about the individual episodes. I don't think they mention a single person they wanted for a guest spot that turned it down/didn't work out. It's mostly talking about other shows and telling stupid jokes. I think we may have had something to do with that. The writers have obviously seen that what they say might end up on wikipedia, so they have given less info about the episodes. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:33, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I actually don't mind season 15. It has some bad episodes, but some very good ones. Personally, I think the show was inconsistant during 10-17, but reall fell off a cliff around season 17, but that's something for a different discussion. I think the problem with the commentaries is that they bring in so many people that didn't have a lot to do with the episode in question that they distract things and move the discussion away from the episode. That being said, there are some good ones, such as the one that features Michael Moore and James L. Brooks, one where they discuss Comic-con and one where Jon Vitti and others talk about what it was like during the early days. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

They won't let me in the big people library.

I've reverted your revert (you probably noticed), so just here for the "discuss" part of the BRD thing. Like I said in the edit summary, I think it really says a lot (symbolically) about a man to be banned for life from a library. And a lot of what it says is what a lot of the paragraph says (textually).

Anyway, if you revert me again, that's cool. Just thought I'd explain. I agree that the Santa's Little Helper one was a bit tangential. Won't contest that one. Good to know someone's watching these articles! InedibleHulk (talk) 12:16, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

(Not sure if you're watching my talk page or yours)

I thought it complemented the alcoholic part. When the tavern is home away from home, and the library is no man's land, they seem like two sides of the same "stupid like a fox" coin. If you can think of a better place for it, let me know.

I figured if readers could hear it for themselves, it'd be more verifiable than taking a citation's word for it, or finding the episode. I made a point of not linking to the quote page itself, just the MP3 of the primary work. If you think a citation is enough, though, that's fine by me. The other reverter seemed to have a problem with that site, too. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:15, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

The Simpsons

Hi, about The Simpsons and USA Today, I don't know who added the average number of viewers in the first place, but I can confirm that's not the right number. I have uploaded a copy of the original source (USA Today) here so you can see by yourself. As you can see, it's not 13.4 million but 14.5. By the way, Spin-off.fr is a reliable source. I provide the Nielsen data myself based on old archives from USA Today and current sources. This reminds me I should add the ratings for ALL of the episodes on Wikipedia, ha!

They are already a lot of film articles that have cast sections as is, no matter how trivial and redundant some of the editors see it and it isn't like IMDB.com at all. It's not like every credit cast member are on those articles. BattleshipMan (talk) 19:49, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

You can't just like remove every cast sections in every film article, no matter how anybody would see how it is.

They are some cast sections that have brief characters descriptions on there as well. BattleshipMan (talk) 20:06, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

A Star Is Burns

Per my addition to the page for "A Star is Burns", Barney's film incorporates the Puccini aria "Un bel vedremo" from Madama Butterfly twice (at both the opening and the conclusion). By comparison to the included music from "Koyaanisqatsi", it's far more prominent. Why did you choose to remove this addition from the article?

Al Jean's Wikipedia Obsession

I've finished all of the commentaries for Season 16 and believe it or not, Al Jean mentions Wikipedia just once. He gives some trivia unrelated to The Simpsons then says something along the lines of "Be careful saying that, or it might end up on Wikipedia." On the whole, the commentaries are better than season 15 (less obnoxious laughter and talking about other shows). But, they aren't very useful for making Wikipedia pages. There isn't a single mention of any guest stars who were considered for roles. I've always wondered if maybe our pages had something to do with that. Obviously the writers are aware of our coverage, so maybe they decided to tone down on the "insider stories" (or maybe the lawyers, who knows?). Curiously, the season 23 future Christmas episode is included as a "bonus" but other than that, not much for extras. The footage of Keith Richards recording his lines in the 14 one is still the best extra. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:55, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

The Simpsons you only move twice

here is the link to my posting in the episode the Broncos were portrayed as a bad team they went 13-3 the year the episode aired and they posted a 12-4 record in 1997 winning super bowl 32. I dont know how to source using the little number links so be a doll and post them for me. next time help a user out instead of deleting their posts. also down below will be the offical posting from the denver broncos wikipedia page.

In The Simpsons episode "You Only Move Twice", Hank Scorpio gives Homer Simpson the Denver Broncos as a thank-you gift for helping him. Homer complains that he wanted to own the Dallas Cowboys (the Broncos are playing very sloppy football on his front lawn while he says this). Incidentally, the Broncos were 13–3 that year, and won the Super Bowl the next 2 seasons. In another episode, Homer picks the Broncos to win the Super Bowl (the second of which aired on Fox, home of The Simpsons). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.254.36.127 (talk) 11:01, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: The Simpsons Movie

This is a note to let the main editors of The Simpsons Movie know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 26, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 26, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Simpsons Movie is a 2007 American animated comedy film based on the television series The Simpsons. Directed by David Silverman, it stars the regular cast of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Tress MacNeille, and Pamela Hayden. It features Albert Brooks as Russ Cargill, the evil head of the Environmental Protection Agency who intends to destroy Springfield after Homer pollutes the lake. As the townspeople exile him and eventually his family abandons him, Homer works to redeem his folly by stopping Cargill's scheme. Previous attempts to create a film version of The Simpsons failed due to the lack of a script of appropriate length and production crew members. Eventually, producers and writers banded together and conceived numerous narrative concepts, one of which was selected for development. The script was re-written over a hundred times, and this creativity continued after animation had begun in 2006. The film premiered in Springfield, Vermont (theater sign pictured), which had won the right to hold it in a competition. It was a box office success, grossing over $527 million, and received critical acclaim. (Full article...)

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:03, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Al Jean loves Wikipedia

I thought this would interest you. He again mentions Wikipedia in the commentary for that Ricky Gervais/Wife Swap episode (I forget the title and can't be bothered to look it up). He again harps on the "Al Jean's Dad is the inspiration for Homer" thing. I think the origin to that can be traced to an earlier commentary (I forget which) where Reiss says something Homer does reminds him of Al's Dad, and it may have spread from there, even if it makes no sense. The only reason people keep re-adding it is because he continually brings it up and says it upsets him.

Al Jean: "I tried to change something on Wikipedia, for some reason the wrote 'Homer is based on my father', which hurt my father's feelings and Homer was created by Matt long before I ever worked on the show and to try to get Wikipedia to change something is insane, like you just go 'you're wrong, you're lying, you're talking about my life' and it's like the most insane..." At this point he's interrupted by Gervais, who says "libraries are exactly the same. I go through libraries and say 'change that, that's not true.'"

I can't recall the specific incidents, but we have had a few run-ins with IPs claiming to be Jean, and we've never fought him on the Homer/Dad thing (it's always random IPs that add it). He might be mixing something else up with that. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:28, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello from the team at Featured article review!

We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.

Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.

lol ok, you can have it your way with Jingle All The Way

Just thought the introduction could have been trimmed a bit considering how pretty insignificant and forgettable the movie is. Not exactly a candidate for the National Film Registry, know what I mean? But if you're going to sit by watching it like a hawk, then it's really not that important. Peace.

Well it needs to summarise the article, which is entirely independent of the film's lack of quality. Gran² 19:23, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

COI editor seeks draft article assessment

Hello User:Gran2, my name is Dan Cook. The British comedian/humorist Sheridan "Shed" Simove had an article for about a decade that was deleted when Shed naively attempted to edit it last year. He has paid me to redraft it and seek a notability assessment from volunteers. I have posted the draft on the talk page of the Wiki Project Comedy talk page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Comedy Would you be willing to offer an opinion as to Shed's notability before I publish it in draft space? Many thanks for any help you can offer. DanDavidCook (talk) 17:11, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
