Talk:Much Apu About Nothing

message: Is there enough public knowledge/pop culture references to the "rock that keeps tigers away" for it to warrant a mention in the article? -- 18:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on if there are any reliable sources out there to prove that it's worth mentioning. -- Scorpion0422 19:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tiger Repelling Rock 

message: This episode ends with Groundskeeper Willie being deported.  Most immigrants to the United States are of color, so some Americans, where the majority of citizens are white, often don't realize that white immigrants exist.  To some Americans, and I'm an American making this statement, immigrants of color are otherized while white immigrants are embraced as similar.  This episode points to that double standard.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chumley41 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's the thing I don't get. Why would you need a proposition to deport illegal immigrants? Isn't that what you do already if you discover one?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 23:12, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Issues of Race and Immagration in this Episode 

message: I'm pretty sure this happened:
Apu: Mr Homer, I need sleep. All these things you tell me are completely new to me.
Homer: Sleep is for the weak Apu. Now, I'm going to bed, you stay here and read this.
Apu: Ok, Apu, concentrate, must stay awake. Fecal Matter (falls fast asleep)
I think thats how it went and it would refer to the band Fecal Matter making it a very easy to miss cultural reference aimed at generation X'ers!--EchetusXe (talk) 21:29, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cultural reference 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Much Apu About Nothing's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article, and many others, is suffering from several issues that could result in a GA review.
* The episodes from the "classic era" of The Simpsons were promoted to GA in the early years of Wikipedia (before 2010) when GA criteria were much more lax
* The pool of editors interested in the subject has decreased, as has the pool of page watchers, meaning that unsourced or unhelpful edits stay on the page (see cultural references)
* Much of the information comes from DVD commentaries from involved parties, which is WP:PRIMARY and has not been verified by outside sources
* Reception sections are mainly "[Person] from [publication] said [extremely large verbatim quote]". Many of these reviews are from obscure DVD-rating websites and are reviews of the whole season. Reception sections should draw "a line of best fit" finding the points that reviews agree or disagree on.
