[edit] Next Season Drive

I would just like to confirm, is Season 4 the next topic drive? I would like to know in advance so I can start making up money. xihix(talk) 21:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

is the next season discussed anywhere, or did someone just pick a random one? Ctjf83 ^talk 21:25, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, season 4 was discussed because then Simpsonsfan66 and Rhino would be able to pitch in because they own those sets (but not season 9), plus we already have an FA there and several GAs, which is a huge help. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

good enough for me...I just figured we should go with a season that the most people have DVDs for Ctjf83 ^talk 02:02, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

• What about THOH? Some people have brought that up, and it is on its way to having two articles w/ Featured Content (one list and one article), and already has 3 GAs? Cirt (talk) 04:54, 23 December 2007 (UTC).
  • I've thought about that, but there are no DVDs for THOHs X-XVIII, so it would be difficult to get them promoted. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:55, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
    • It would certainly be more fun and more of a variety than simply another season. I would pitch in to help with that, but not sure any episodes from season 4 interest me at this point in time. Cirt (talk) 04:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC).
      • What about Homer the Heretic? You seem to enjoy working on episodes with religious content, and a lot of fans consider it the best religious episode. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:58, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
        • I agree with scorp...we can't get production stuff for the THOH that aren't on DVD yet Ctjf83 ^talk 05:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
• Hrm, Homer the Heretic does look interesting, I think I remember that episode. But at any rate, let's first finish up successfully getting all Season 9 articles to WP:GA status or higher, and talk more about this after that? Cirt (talk) 05:05, 23 December 2007 (UTC).

Well uhh, I found out today that I'll only be able to get season five, six, or seven. So err... Not really sure if I can do season four anymore. xihix(talk) 23:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Update: I actually might be getting season four. xihix(talk) 04:14, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I promise I will be back for the next one as long as it is seasons 1 to 7. --Maitch (talk) 18:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Thats good. I just wanted to confirm that I have obtained season five, six, and seven, and will probably get four soon. xihix(talk) 23:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Decision

So what did we decide is going to the be the next season, or are we deciding to go to characters, personally i'd like a season Ctjf83^talk 02:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

• I think from a discussion here and at WP:DOH, the consensus was Simpson family. Cirt (talk) 02:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC).
  • I personally favor to do episodes, as I feel more comfortable with them. We could do characters, though since I've never done any, I'm not sure how well I could do it. I also see it being hard to do, as there would be so many references to check with before you write a characters. An example would be Lisa, where you'd have to listen to every episode commentary that had a main plot around Lisa. xihix(talk) 02:05, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
    • There was also WP:DOH discussion that we have enough contributors to do two featured topic drives at the same time, one characters and one episodes - but I personally would rather focus the members' attention on one drive at a time. Cirt (talk) 02:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC).
      • There's no reason why we couldn't do both. Cirt, Xihix, Ctjf and Simpsonsfan can do episodes, and then myself, Maitch and Gran can work on the Simpson family. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
        • Perhaps we should table this discussion for a tad, until we get The Last Temptation of Krust, The Principal and the Pauper, and The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson up to WP:FA status? Cirt (talk) 02:15, 21 January 2008 (UTC).
          • Alrighty. Also, why isn't 'Pauper a GAC yet? It seems more than ready for it. Also, I'm getting a little anxious with City of New York, as there currently are no peer reviews that could help me improve the article more at the moment. xihix(talk) 02:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• I dunno, I like Scorpion's idea of who does what, cause I feel the same as Xihix for characters...but I don't think we should wait for the FAs, cause i'm getting very anxious to start a new one now Ctjf83^talk 02:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • At the very least, we should wait until The Principal and the Pauper is a WP:GA, and then wait until at least one of those three gets to WP:FA, and then nominate this topic for WP:FT, to see it through. Cirt (talk) 02:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC).
    • Does everyone else think we should wait a bit? This is a perfect example of where IRC chats would work nicely Ctjf83^talk 02:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Hehe, true. There's nothing stopping you from working on episode articles in the interim though. I think that people were talking about having the next episode drive be Season 4... Cirt (talk) 02:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC).
        • Thats fine with me, any season if fine! Ctjf83^talk 02:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
          • Yes, see subsection above, it was The Simpsons (season 4) that was going to be the next episode drive before the discussion shifted to character pages. So in the meantime, why don't you pick one of the non-GA Season 4 episodes, and begin to get it up to WP:GAC potential? The more articles that are already WP:GA by the time we officially start the next episode drive, the better. Cirt (talk) 02:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC).
• Ok, do you want to start a sub page for season 4 topic drive? Ctjf83^talk 03:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Not yet, wait until this drive is over, or we could move it to a season 9 subpage and make season 4 the new drive (since a lot of the work on season 9 is done). -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Well, personally I'd rather wait til this drive is over - nothing is stopping editors from getting season 4 articles up to WP:GA status. Cirt (talk) 03:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC).
      • fine! :) Ctjf83^talk 03:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

For those who would like to start work on season 4, I started a temporary page here. It can be moved here when work on this drive is finished. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

• Great! We should note who already did what for the GA/FA stuff. Cirt (talk) 03:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC).
  • Thank you Scorpion...do you want to list it on the project navigation "thing" Ctjf83^talk 03:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering if I could have dibs on at least two of these episodes:

• "Homer's Triple Bypass"
• "Marge vs. the Monorail"
• "Selma's Choice"
• "Brother from the Same Planet"
• "I Love Lisa"
• "Duffless"

The reason I ask is because I don't own the entire season 4 box set, but I found the third disc of the box set at some garage sale for $2, so I decided to get it. Not sure why the entire set wasn't there, but oh well. I'll try to get the entire thing soon, though. For future drives, note that I have season 5, 6, and 7. xihix(talk) 03:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

• Sure, but Marge vs. the Monorail was finished a while back. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Xihix go here and put your name down on the ones you want Ctjf83^talk 03:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Alright. I didn't want to put my name down originally, as I probably won't be able to start until I make some more progress with The City of New York. xihix(talk) 03:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Last Temptation of Krust FAC

I will put this article up at FAC as soon as the FAC finishes for Battlefield Earth (film). Cirt (talk) 04:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Season 9 has passed

Yay! -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Good work to everyone! Thanks so much to Scorpion0422 (talk · contribs), for getting me involved in the first place! I'll still continue to work on The Last Temptation of Krust up to WP:FA, hopefully. Cirt (talk) 05:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Treehouse of Horror V PR

Just letting you know that this is currently having a peer reviw here. I'm hopful I can nom this soon. Buc (talk) 07:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

You might also want to notify the talk pages of WP:US-TOON, WP:DOH, WP:COMEDY, and WP:TV. Cirt (talk) 07:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unused articles

Hi guys. I'm looking for a new GA project, but the only two left don't have a lot of information in the commentary. If anyone who has claimed an article but hasn't got around to doing any work would like to give it up, that would be awesome. Thanks. --Simpsons fan 66 03:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I "unclaimed" one - but feel free to work on the other 2 I tagged, because I am primarily working on retaining the WP:FT status on Season 8 and Season 9, by slowly working on getting a couple more WP:FAs for each, so they don't lose their Featured Topic status. Cirt (talk) 05:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks Cirt. I'll see what I can do. --Simpsons fan 66 07:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Great, and your work so far is really appreciated with this topic drive. Cirt (talk) 07:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I gave up Lisa the Beauty Queen and Krusty Gets Kancelled so Simpsons fan 66 can do it, or who ever wants to Ctjf83Talk 18:09, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Ctjf83, and thank you for your praise Cirt! --Simpsons fan 66 12:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Episode reviews from Variety

I didn't realize Variety did reviews, but I found some for episodes such as Lisa's First Word. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Krusty Gets Kancelled

If anyone wants to help out I'd appreciate some help with the Production section, haven't gotten a chance to listen to the commentary yet. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 13:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
