What is the difference between "Think different" (Apple Inc.) and "Think differently" (Mapple Inc., Simpsons)? FAThomssen (talk) 06:55, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
One has "ly" on the end lol. It's a parody. Jay794 (talk) 12:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
NOT REALLY!? I meant, what does that mean grammatically? Is one of them wrong or has a different meaning? FAThomssen (talk) 23:56, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

The Simpsons' version uses proper grammar (the adverb "differently" is describing the verb "think"), whereas the Apple version is continuing their tradition of slaughtering the English language (eg. "Why you'll love a Mac.").
Thanks :-D FAThomssen (talk) 08:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

The scene where Lisa gets her bill from Mapple looks like a parody of the 300-page iPhone bill. Could we add that to the article? 69.153.130.158 (talk) 20:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

A source would be needed. CTJF83Talk 20:54, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

When Lisa visits "Steve Mobs" under the sea. You see Steve using his hands to look at web pages. A lot like Tom Cruise did to look the the video images of crimes being committed in the movie Minority Report.124.198.132.131 (talk) 17:10, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

As well as Dan Castelleneta being the voice of the Genie in the Aladdin sequel, Yeardley Smith also was a voice in the original Aladdin. Just for interests sake!

Giving this one a look. —Ed!(talk) 22:09, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)
It is reasonably well written:
Not Yet
"It was the most watched show on Fox on its original airing, and received fairly positive reviews from television critics." -- As in, the most watched that evening? That season? That month? Clarity needed.
Plot: It's typical to name the voice actors after each character's first mention.
Guest appearance in the infobox needs a citation.
Any details on when this episode was produced or dates?
Did the show ever tackle Islam again? Would be good to reference in light of the milestone mentioned at the bottom.
I do spot a bit of consternation about the episode at the time of its release [1] as well as a critique of how the show handled Islam in a subsequent episode [2].
It is factually accurate and verifiable:
Source Spotcheck Refs 2, 4 & 10 all back up subject material cited in the article.
Ref 11 seems to be redirecting to the wrong article. Can you find a new link?
Two dead links in the article. Could you fix?
It is broad in its coverage:
Plot is about 330 words, well within reason for MOS:PLOT standards.
I thought I recalled (and I might be wrong) that some writers online had considered this episode a critique of birtherism in light of the recent election, did you find any sources to that effect online?
It follows the neutral point of view policy:
Pass Article cites a diverse set of sources to different contexts.
It is stable:
Pass No problems there.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
Pass Two headshots used appropriately in the article and cited to proper copyrights.
Other: Dup links, dab links tools both show no problems. Copyvio tool returns green.
On Hold Pending a few fixes. —Ed!(talk) 22:32, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Note I notice now that the user who nominated this article has been blocked from editing. Though, I do think the article has potential should these comments be addressed. I will hold the GAN open for the requisite number of days to allow for any other enterprising editors to make the changes as they desire, or else withdraw it as necessary. —Ed!(talk) 00:32, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Seeing no significant changes to the article at this point, going to Fail the GAN and remove it from the Queue. Would be happy to see it nominated again when some of these concerns are addressed. —Ed!(talk) 01:35, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
