[edit] Trivia section

Trivia sections on Wikipedia are considered very bad form. All imformation within this section should be dispersed to apropriate places within the article. --The_stuart 18:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

• When Krusty approaches the camp, he has an altercation with reporters and punches out a cameraman. This is based on a real incident involving Axl Rose.
• The plot of this episode was considered for The Simpsons Movie but the writers were unable to expand it.
• There are some similarities to Alan Sherman's 1963 parodistic song on a kid's summer camp experience in Camp Grenada
• There is a reference to the book Lord of the Flies, when a pigs head on a stake is seen outside of Bart's command centre.
• Although the episode I Love Lisa establishes officially that Ralph is the son of Chief Clancy Wiggum, Ralph is actually referred to by his last name of Wiggum in this episode first.

Trivia has this:

• There is a referance to the book, [Animal Farm by George Orwell][1], when a rotting pigs head is seen outside of Bart's command centre.

I think rotting pig's head is a reference to Lord of the Flies. Srx 19:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh vey. I am concerned with some of the trivia you are removing. This is a television show, I don't think campaigning agaisnt trivia makes much sense since it really is just clumps of trivia. Yanksox 18:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Contention that there was a "Dazed & Confused" reference removed: considering the movie came out in 1993, and this ep. aired in 1992, it's a pretty tough case to make. People, let's not make up references that aren't there.

I have fixed up the cultural references section. It has a references from the commentary now. By the way, it is a lord of the flies reference. --Simpsons fan 66 23:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA fail

The cultural references and continuity sections are listy and sometimes unreferenced. There is also no information on how well the episode was received. Alientraveller 14:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, the cultural references without reliable sources have been removed and the continuity section is gone completely. The reception section is virtually done but could possibly be expanded with ratings from Tv.com and IMDB. Whats the verdict now? --Simpsons fan 66 03:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Looking better for sure, lose the bullet points though. Alientraveller 09:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Bullet points have been removed and reception section is all but finished. Ready for re-nomination? --Simpsons fan 66 10:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA on hold

The production section should be split into two paragraphs, breaking when the issue of the episode potentially becoming a film arises. The information on Mr Black possibly becoming a recurring character should be in reception, while the cites in the lead need to be directly after punctuation. Alientraveller 14:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of fixing everything but the Mr. Black stuff because I feel that it belongs more in production than reception because the sentence doesn't have anything relating to reception. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Scorpion, Mr.Black definitly belongs in the production section. I corrected the part about the premiere and the quote (thanks for pointing it out Scorpion). Do you think we should have a hyperlink on the hydrofoil qoute? Do you have any other suggestions Alientraveller? --Simpsons fan 66 06:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Pass. Alientraveller 07:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Sweeps (on hold)

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed.

• The picture of Mr. Black needs a better fair use rationale (compare to other images in other Simpsons episode articles or even the infobox picture).

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far. Regards, MASEM 23:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you be more specific as to what the problem is? I mean, the image has a better rationale than many which I've seen. Gran² 08:10, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to butterfinger ads?

Bart says "I would never lend my name to an inferior product." Sounds like an tongue-in-cheek reference to the simpsons butterfinger ads, which they frequently knock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.36.175 (talk) 03:08, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
