[edit] The Simpsons (season 4)
This time, I've got another season of The Simpsons. I will address any concerns brought up. -- Scorpion0422 19:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Resolved stuff from The Rambling Man (talk) 14:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
*Comments - a very good and comprehensive list. I have a few comments for you.
-
- Just a minor format issue but The Simpsons' fourth season" looks odd with the apostraphe there - why not "The fourth season of..."? Y Done
- "Following the end of the production of the season, Jean, Reiss and most of the original writing staff left the show, causing more staff to be hired." - I'm sure this is relevant but if staff leave they're generally replaced. As this must be significant because it's in the lead, can this be clarified or expanded upon? Y Done
- "The season would be .." why not just "..was..."? Y Done
- You need a fair use rationale for the DVD cover specific to this article. Y Done
- "would leave" - why not just "left"? Y Done
- "original team" - your quotation or from someone else? Y Done
- "production eun" -typo I think. Y Done
- "would leave" x3 then "would return", "would stay", "would receive", "would return" in the Development section - odd tense and somewhat repetitive language. Y Done
- "return a few times" - not particularly encyclopaedic. Y Done
- "...series would win ..." as above. Y Done
- 60-1 - move Mr. Black to after "director of the camp, Mr Black, ..." Y Done
- 61-2 - "and manages to get" - "but manages".. Y Done
- 63-4 - "Guest stars: Bob Hope.[20] " - only one star? Y Done
- 64-5 - why is zombie capitalised? Y Done
- 68-9 - "demolishing and wrecking" - surely demolishing supersedes wrecking! Y Done
- 69-10 - Jeff Martin links to a dab page. Y Done
- 73-14 - "After leaving Bart alone at soccer practice, Homer's inept care for Bart prompts Bart...." triple Bart! Rephrase. Y Done
- 73-14 - "ventually" - missing an e? Y Done
- 79-20 - "Guest star: Barry White" not cited, seems like the only one?
- Page ranges in references should use en-dash, not hyphen. Y Done
- That's about it from me. Hope the comments are of use. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support - now all my comments have been (rapidly and accurately) addressed. Good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support Good job, only a few comments that hardly pass as concerns:
- The lead uses "show runner" while "showrunner" is used several times below. Y Done
- Al Jean and Mike Reiss, who had also ran the previous season... Who had also run? Y Done
- Several sentences in the Development section deal with crew leaving, but the tense changes to present briefly when mentioning David M Stern and Jon Vitti. Y Done
- "Treehouse of Horror III" was nominated for Emmys for... How about "nominated for Emmys in the categories of"?
- Should "the Ayn Rand school of tots" be capitalised? Y Done
- "...eventually Homer becomes injured" sounds a little... weird. If you're in a brawl, you don't usually "become injured". How about "Homer is injured" or something less, um, accidental? Y Done
- "Springfiedians"? You'd know better than me, but I seem to recall them referred to in other episodes as "Springfielders". But again, I'd trust you on that one. Y Done
- Good stuff, and I hope the comments are useful. :) •97198 talk 06:30, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, and the DVD release dates appear as "Region 1 on 15 June 2004, Region 2 on 2 August, 2004 and in Region 4 on 25 August, 2004" - the latter two with commas - because some setting defaults to no-comma if the year's linked. Is that just my settings, or is it universal? •97198 talk 06:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
