Charlie Brown (Snoopy) Reference

I don't know if anyones gonna see this but I noticed something when I watched this episode. When Skinner and Krababbel have dinner together the candle on the table looks remarkably like Charlie Brown. It only has the very top of his head cut off. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.217.57.54 (talk) 15:47, 28 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Ralph Wiggum's infamous Quote

Do you think his dialog ("Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!") maybe a cultural reference to something? Because I think I heard it before. Aix Duran

I don;t know, but if it is, it needs a reference, like the thing you added. Gran² 12:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural References

I have since changed from using the SNPP source to The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family. Please inform me if additional citation is required. I do have a question though - are information that is readily apparent simply from watching the episode enough to not require a citation? One example is the song that plays which I mentioned. Since the lyrics is audible, and thus the artist and song title can be deduced from that. Also, I noticed that the old Simpsons official site's episode list links are all dead, yet are still present in the articles. Any thoughts on removal? Thanks. Sokari (talk) 15:49, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes additional citations are required as the guide only covers the Charlie Brown candle. Nothing else in the section is mentioned in the book. Also "Armour hotdogs jingle" is not a source for what happens in this episode. As for your question, no, that counts as original research. And no, the links are not dead they have just been moved, so they should be changed, not removed. Gran² 18:07, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the update. I'll keep an eye out for usable sources to address the cultural references that do not have sources.Sokari (talk) 22:26, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored some of the cultural reference parts as well as added new ones with a more reliable source.Sokari (talk) 00:31, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work, I seem to recall writing this article at about 2 AM some time a couple of years ago, which explains the shher amount of information I missed from the commentary. Gran² 00:35, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
