[edit] Krusty Gets Busted
1) Are you certain that the image, tagged as promotional, is in fact a promotional image from a press kit?
Yes, I am sure. You can tell by the "Matt Greoning" signature on Bart's shirt, which is placed on all promotional artwork for the Simpsons. And no, it is not a screenshot. I do not know where it came from as I did not upload it.
2) There's a lot of plot summary and trivia here, and not all that much information about the real-world impact. Please review the guidelines for writing about fiction and consider whether more "out-of-universe" information might be added.
I'm actually not entirely sure what you mean by this. Since it was an episode of a TV show (no matter how popular) no episode itself could have had any major impact (unless it was something like the Super Bowl incident or another controversey thing, but all of those happen on non-animated TV). My question is what do you mean by more "out-of-universe" info? Trosk 16:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually, now that I look at it again, don't all of the Cultural References qualify as that? (I'm pretty sick, so I'm not thinking as clearly as I usually do.) Trosk 16:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Okay. Good to hear about the image.
- As for "out-of-universe perspective," it's a point of Wikipedia style. It refers to examining a work of fiction from the perspective of the real world, rather than the perspective of that work of fiction. A plot synopsis will of course be "in-universe," but an article about fiction should contain some "out-of-universe" information as well, if at all possible. To be honest, I'm not certain that will work with an article about a single episode of a series as long-running as The Simpsons, but some things that might be considered: Is there anything that can be said about the writers or the development process? What were the ratings for the original run of the episode? Is it widely popular among the fan base? Did any television critics have anything to say about it? Did it have any influence on later episodes? Finding a reliable source for this information might be difficult, but it would improve the breadth of the article to encompass more than just a synopsis.
- On the subject of the cultural references, are there citations for any of those? Some of them are fairly obvious, such as the Hamlet reference, but others are not. What source do we have for the Beatles reference, for instance? And how are we sure that Lisa's crack about cartoons in prime time is a reference to The Flintstones and not to The Simpsons?

- It seems that not much has been done with this article since you put it on hold. I didn't want to take any action without consulting you, but I would think it should fail. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 05:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- No, I agree. It's been a week, so I've failed it. Shimeru 08:31, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lucid Dreaming GA Status
FYI, I fixed the citation tags as you requested. on the Lucid Dreaming article. Thanks! LilDice 01:18, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Looks good. Congratulations to you and the other editors. Shimeru 08:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kitsune
Hey, Shimeru. I've gotten about a third of the way through my text copy of kitsune making the copy edits I mentioned. I just wanted to drop you a line since I said I'd have the copy edit done this evening. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, but tomorrow is probably a safe bet. Sorry! —-BrianSmithson 13:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- No rush. Thanks for letting me know. --Shimeru 22:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hiroshige print
Thanks for uploading that Hiroshige print. Like all his other work, it's Free, so I've taken the liberty of copying it over to Commons under the same name and asking for the en.wikipedia copy to be deleted. (It's not very high resolution, so I'm still going to one day get around to scanning a better copy, but this is a lot better than nothing!) --Gwern (contribs) 16:23 14 December 2006 (GMT)
- My pleasure. Looking through woodblock prints isn't exactly a chore, though I'm not as well-versed in them in general as I'd like to be. A higher-resolution copy would be wonderful. Thanks for making the move; I hope it'll be useful. Never hurts to have more free art on hand, though. Shimeru 01:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
