The music as Lisa falls toward the cake

It's very famous but I can't remember what it's called. It should probably be mentioned in the Cultural References section as well. 82.7.123.76 (talk) 14:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image has been removed

It seems like this page used to have an image from the episode. Has it been removed for copyright reasons? If so, should we remove the link to the image? TangoTheory 05:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Littlegirlinthebigten.jpg

Image:Littlegirlinthebigten.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.

Fractals?

The article says the college girls have "fractals". Is this a typo of some kind, or a brand name? I haven't seen the episode, but fractals are computer graphics. 86.131.92.52 (talk) 13:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One of the college girls is drawing fractals in her spare time. We can even see the images.

Cultural references: Bart references Underdog when he beats the bullies using Underdog rhyme and meter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 21:26, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

External link to a page that doesn't exist

The following links to a page that hasn't been created yet: ""Little Girl in the Big Ten episode capsule". The Simpsons Archive." Was the idea to just wait until linking to SNPP becomes relevant? Apoyon (talk) 17:41, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

There is one dead link
Capitalize "chinese" and wikilink mosquito in lead
Wikilink characters in lead and plot
"Bart is infected with the "panda virus" and is put in a plastic bubble to prevent others from infection" Removed bolded
Make more clear Jon Vitti pitched the episode's main plot (versus the sublot) in lead
Lead needs ratings summary
"That and her large head gives her perfect balance, Lisa passes with flying colors. " Awkward phrasing
"Lisa finds herself looking more like a college student with a beret, which helps her fit in even more." Awkward phrasing (possible reword: Lisa begins to wear a beret to help her fit in better)?
"Meanwhile, Bart gets bitten by a Chinese mosquito that was in his Krusty-saurus toy manufactured in a sweatshop with a communist Krusty logo, and becomes infected with "Panda virus"." Again, awkward phrasing
"To prevent getting others from getting sick" Add bolded
"Bart, in the meantime, gets used to his bubble, more popular, a thing of amusement for Homer as well." What?
Indicate Jon Vitti is a producer
Remember, place citations directly after sentences with direct quotations
"On August 24, 2010, "Little Girl in the Big Ten" was released as part of The Simpsons: The Complete Thirteenth Season DVD and Blu-ray set. Al Jean, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Matt Selman, Tom Gammill, Max Pross and Robert Pinsky participated in the audio commentary of the episode." Needs ref
Haven't seen the episode, but shouldn't the "superb Chumbawumba parody" be also mentioned in the cultural refs section?

I'll place the review on hold for seven days while my comments get looked at. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 17:12, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've addressed all the issues now. Thanks for the review! Queenieacoustic (talk) 17:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Nice work, Ruby2010 comment! 19:14, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
