[edit] German?

Is anyone aware if the writers wanted this to be a German title? If so, it might be worth noting that the correct gender of Bus is actually the masculine der* (thus, der Bus).

it's probably just a reference to Das Boot. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 06:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CGHM merge

This article [CGHM] should definetely be merged with the article of the episode CGHM is mentioned in, Das Bus. --Impaciente 08:22, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed - I'll put merger signs in the articles. U-Mos 15:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Comparison with LOTF" section

I have removed this section as it has been lifted directly from the Das Bus page on SNPP. It's a good idea to note down the comparisons on this page but it should be re-written by an editor rather than just copied and pasted. Theme 09:44, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

• The countries the kids represent in the Model U.N. are as follows:
  • Bart/Libya
  • Lisa/France
  • Milhouse/Poland
  • Martin/Finland
  • Nelson/Japan
  • Wendell Borton/Mexico
  • Sherri and Terri/Trinidad and Tobago
  • Ralph/Canada
  • Lewis/U.S.A.

• Since this episode, the voice of Bart in the Latin America version was provided by Claudia Mota instead of Marina Huerta, who had filled the role since the first season. Huerta returned as Bart's voice from season 16 onwards.

Putting here for someone to eventually incorporate. Alientraveller 23:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

• "The movie True Lies was the inspiration for the bus crashing against the bridge."

The entire film or just one scene?

• "When the Chinese actors came, they felt Cantonese would be more appropriate for the fisherman instead of Mandarin, so it was changed."

"They" being the actors or the production staff or both or what?

• "According to Mike Scully, this scene was regrettably deleted due to the episode being too long."

Did Scully regret it or is this POV?

[edit] Pre-GA nomination review

Disclosure

I am a participant in WP:DOH/TOPIC. Cirt (talk) 01:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC).

This is how the article, as of January 2, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Pretty good. Plot could use some copyediting, words like "Meanwhile" are not needed, and the sentence Due to lack of evidence, Bart, acting as judge, forces himself to acquit Milhouse. seems to have an overuse of commas.

2. Factually accurate?: Well cited, properly formatted to (7) sources using WP:CIT, are we sure no other could sources good be found to add to the article further?

3. Broad in coverage?: Covers the key topics, but again I wonder if we could find a good third source for the Reception section.

4. Neutral point of view?: Article is written in a neutral manner.

5. Article stability? Article appears stable going back at least two months in edit history. No evidence of conflict on talk page.

6. Images?: (1) image, detailed fair use rationale provided on image page.

These are only my own comments as to how this article measures up against the GA Critiera. It is not a GA review, that will have to be done by someone else, as I am a participant at WP:DOH/TOPIC. Cirt (talk) 01:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC).

[edit] Good article nomination

Okay, I previously had a minor concern about the article which was so small, it did not even warrant a mere putting the article on hold. However, as this issue has now been addressed, I'm passing this as a good article. Congratulations to the main contributors, and keep up the good work :) Qst 13:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lord of the Flies

Should it be mentioned that part of this episode is based on Lord of the Flies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.94.212 (talk) 20:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The first line in the cultural references section says that! Ctjf83Talk 22:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
