Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce[edit]
Pretty much the best quality article you can get for any unaired television episode. It provides insight into Sesame Workshop's program creation process, an looks indirectly at children's education and adult relationship issues.
It is a featured article on the Muppet Wiki. -- Zanimum 20:10, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose for now. I assume that much of the text is lifted straight from the Muppet Wiki. While this is all well and good, the text itself is not in the proper tone for an encyclopedia article. It may work for the Muppet Wiki, but certianly not here. I suggest a withdrawal and getting someone to copyedit it, along with grabbing more references if possible. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I've revised a bit of the article. Is it on the right track, at least? As for references, the books are the only real sources of information on the topic. Do you suggest simply repeating the refs to be near more facts? -- Zanimum 17:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose per above. Also has manual of style issues. --Phoenix (talk) 04:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose per above also lacks images. Quadzilla99 05:47, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How do you propose getting a free license image, even a fair use image, of a television episode that never aired? -- Zanimum 14:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I put one up, but it's probably not a perfect solution. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 15:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I've removed it. As far as I understand Wikipedia's rules, fair use images (besides posters and covers) are only supposed to be used when they are critical to understanding a subject. Is knowing that the Snuffleupagus species look like tuskless wooly mammoths critical to understanding the episode? -- Zanimum 17:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
