text: I agree as well... suggest as others have (the ones who boted for the correct character) that she is merged with Simpson Family instead.  A one time character does not deserve a seperate article.  Her appearance in this episode is notable but she is not a notable character.58.166.9.143 12:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: DO NOT CONFUSE JACKIE WITH GLADYS

message: :Image:Selmas Choice.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Selmas Choice.jpg

message: #Last two sentences in Production are not cited to a source.
#Reception section only has one source, could use at least 2 more.
#Similarly, only one source given is not the DVD commentary, should have more sources.
#Image pages' fair use rationale could be expanded upon using 
#WP:LEAD could be expanded after all that's done.

thread_title:  My opinion, not yet [[WP:GAC]] ready 

message: I just saw this episode and there is a part when Lisa is brought into the security room, after she has gone on her drug trip, where she exclaims that she is "the lizard queen". This is an obvious reference to Jim Morrison and how he was known as the "lizard king". I think someone should add that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.240.94.56 (talk) 00:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it's not obvious to me, as i've never heard of it...if you can find a reliable reference for it, then it can be listed Ctjf83talk 00:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Look up Jim Morrison here on Wikipedia, then look under his picture where is says "also known as". Also look in Wikiquotes under Jim Morrison for "I am the lizard king. I can do anything." But if you need more proof, there is this http://www.tv.com/the-simpsons/selmas-choice/episode/1357/trivia.html and this http://www.lizardking.org and this http://www.who2.com/jimmorrison.html and this http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0607186/bio. There are many more websites that name him the Lizard King as well. Also there is a book called The Lizard King Was Here: The Life and Times of Jim Morrison in Alexandria, Virginia by Mark Opsasnick. And another book, The Lizard King: The Essential Jim Morrison by Jerry Hopkins. I can't believe kids these days don't know the names of the greatest rock and roll players anymore.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.240.94.56 (talk) 19:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  There would need to be a source that says calling Lisa the lizard queen, refers to him, not a source calling him the lizard king. I don't make the rules up. Also, future reference, tv.com isn't a reliable source, because anyone can edit it..neither is wikiquotes, or his unsourced wiki page for that matter. Also, in case you didn't know, you can sign post on here, and any talk page by typing ~~~~ Ctjf83talk 21:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I thought you wanted references to Jim Morrison being called the lizard king, because you have never heard of it. Would these sites work? http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/episodeguide/season4/page14.shtml and this one near the end of the section "Jim Morrison in fiction and music", http://www.woofactor.com/celebrities/Jim_Morrison/biography/? If not, then forget about the whole thing. It doesn't matter that much. Also I'm not a member of Wikipedia. So I don't have anything to sign with.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.240.94.56 (talk) 22:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, the bbc one we use a lot, so I will put it in now, good job on finding a source! you can still type ~~~~ and it will show your IP address. It isn't a big deal if you don't, as you've probably noticed, the Bot will do it for you. Ctjf83talk 22:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cultural References 

message: I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of February 12, 2008, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: There were some problems with punctuation, but I sorted them out myself.
:2. Factually accurate?: Appears to be so, with good references.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Seems to cover just about everything possible.
:4. Neutral point of view?: Seem to be no problems in this area.
:5. Article stability? Seems fine.
:6. Images?: OK. May want to use the Non-free use rational template.
  If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.</div>— ISD (talk) 09:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Successful [[Wikipedia:Good articles|good article]] nomination

message: If we are going to go into such detail about all parts of this episode in the Plot section, why does Homer's sandwich get just one line? It is one of the best Simpsons moments of all time. Yes, it does mention the  hoagie that Homer takes. But, there is no mention of fitting it in the fridge, finding it behind the radiator, eating it out of the trash can. Everything else is summarized well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by LionelHutz23 (talk • contribs) 11:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
