Unsourced material moved from article page

I moved the unsourced material below out of the article page. Of course, if anyone finds good sources to back up this interesting stuff, please feel free to add that portion of the material back in, with the appropriate citation. Cirt (talk) 10:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC).

References to pop culture

Krusty's return to the underground comedy scene may be considered an homage to George Carlin and Bill Hicks, known for their harsh, cynical comedy material in which they frequently criticised corporate America. Numerous parallels between the two can be drawn (such as Krusty adopting an all-black wardrobe, similar to Hicks and Carlin, and his more cynical, truth-driven material).

Deleted scenes

These scenes were not included in the episode:

  • Jay Leno asking somebody to "turn down the raunch," and then saying: "We got Bob Newhart!"
  • The Internet comic first appears. This makes his later appearance meaningless.
  • An original version of the scene where Krusty burns a dollar - but the topic is the government instead of advertisement.
  • When Krusty tries to think of new ideas, he says: "The Yellow Pages - What's the deal with that?" A reference to the jokes Jerry Seinfeld commonly uses.
  • Y Done -- Added in mention of the similarity to George Carlin in the later part of the episode, with source to Jay Leno commentary on season 9 DVD release. Cirt (talk) 09:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC).

This article moving towards GAC ...

Trying to get this one up to WP:GAC status. I don't have the DVD for this. If anyone wants to add some info from DVD commentary and add a Production section, it'd be much appreciated. In the meantime, I will see about getting the DVD, and finding if there are any secondary sources that mention Production info. Also, if anyone else wants to take a crack at expanding the plot section a bit, that'd be appreciated too. Cirt 13:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC).

  • I also had heard that Jay Leno was asked a question about this episode as related to his sidewalk all-stars or "Jay-walking" segments, but I'm not sure about the source for this. More to come later. Cirt 13:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC).
    • Y Done Added production info. More notes going forward towards GAC below. Cirt (talk) 11:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC).

A note on sources

Some sources misspell the title of this episode as "The Last Temptation of Krusty". Cirt 14:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC).

Then it's probably a good idea to say "The episode is also known as..." with some footnotes. Ribbet32 19:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
A good point! Thank you, I will go ahead and do that. Cirt 19:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC).
Y Done Cirt 16:39, 2 December 2007 (UTC).

Going forward towards GAC

  1. Expand the plot a little bit more, to support references made to it later in the article in Production, Cultural references, and Reception. (Not much expansion needed, maybe three, four sentences max.) - Y Done
  2. Expand the lead, summarizing the article (After above is completed.) - Y Done
  3. Double-check to see if there's any more information readily available in other sources. - Y Done, but always good to see if there's more sources.
  4. Copy-edit and proofread, hopefully not much will be needed. Y Done, but always good to re-check copyediting.
  5. Submit to WP:GAC. - Y Done, awaiting GA review.

Cultural references, image alignment

Please leave the image aligned on the right-side for now. I'm going to expand that section a bit more in the near future, so that will resolve your whitespace issue. As for the left-alignment, the last sentence wraps around and it doesn't look that great. Cirt (talk) 20:32, 16 December 2007 (UTC).

  • Not a big deal though, I'll leave it for now and I won't be the one to put it back, at least, not until I expand that section a bit more to address Ribbet32 (talk · contribs)'s concerns. Cirt (talk) 20:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC).
    • Y Done - I added a tad more info to that paragraph, might add a teensy bit more later. But nevermind on the image alignment - it looks fine on the left side actually. Cirt (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC).

Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of January 14, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Check
2. Factually accurate?: Check
3. Broad in coverage?: Check
4. Neutral point of view?: Check
5. Article stability? Check
6. Images?: Check

With this in mind, I shall be passing this article. There is nothing of importance to be reported back after this review. Just a very good job indeed. Also note, that I won't be removing this or placing this on the relevant GA boards just yet as I'm backlogged by a few articles and would rather remove them all at once. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you. Rudget. 17:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
