message: did the introduction part of ending segment from this episode influence "butters' very own episode" on south park? unless they're both a reference to something else  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.193.123 (talk) 00:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: At the beginning of this episode, Bart sees Homer with a plunger on his head and decides to change his name to Steve Bennett when he grows up. Does this reference a particular Steve Bennett? — NES Boy (talk) 03:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was just a random name that was made up by the writers. It's impossible to create a completly original name unless you use irrational names like Xenu or Jesus (lol). --Simpsons fan 66 05:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I just finished watching this episode on DVD and I didn't see Maggie anywhere. Can somebody point out where she appeared? Otherwise it's pretty notable. TJ Spyke 11:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: She hasn't appeared in several of the newer episodes, so it's not that notable. Either way, it would need a source. -- Scorpion0422 15:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: :Thank you for your review 97198. How can I edit this list to add strikeouts to completed tasks? P.S, I have exams for the next week so I might not be quick to fix the issues. --Simpsons fan 66 00:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: All done! Sorry, but I couldn't find any nielsen ratings. I don't have access to the "Long Beach Press-Telegram", which is where most of the ratings come from. Any other issues? --Simpsons fan 66 08:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Lol, "Write an Itchy & Scratchy." Classic. Two exams down but I might need another day, lots of study tonight. That way I could get a GA for my birthday! --Simpsons fan 66 00:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Finished. Any other issues? --Simpsons fan 66 07:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Awesome. Only other thing I could find was The name of the school principal, Dondelinger, was based on the name of someone Sam Simon knew which would be worded better as "The school principal, Dondelinger, was named after someone Sam Simon knew." Thanks for taking care of business and happy birthday! I'm going to go ahead and pass the article :) —97198 talk 11:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I know it just passed, but the article still has several issues. The biggest of which is that the article has an extremely small lead which needs to be expanded in order to maintain GA status. You might also want to take a look at WP:MOSDASH and make sure the article has correct useage of dashes, as I see several spaced em dashes. Cheers, Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have corrected the spacing issue, but I'm not sure what I can do to expand the lead. Usually the lead contains the original airdate, a short plot summary, who wrote and directed the episode, and any significant details. Apart from the latter, this has been acheived. The problem is, unlike my previous Simpsons GAs, this episode has no exceptional production details. I could mention that this was the only episode that Lapidus ever wrote. Any ideas? --Simpsons fan 66 23:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. Maybe include some more plot info, two sentences or production, and two sentences on cultural reference? Just give a brief summary of each section, and it should make the lead more comprehensive. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 23:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I added some of the most significant production details, but I don't feel that there are any CR significant enough for the lead. --Simpsons fan 66 01:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
