Comments

Wikilink publishers in ref section (the ones that have their own articles)
Wikilink characters in plot section (including Simpsons family)
"Back in Springfield, Marge's attempt to cut the wires to the doorbell fails since Homer traded their tools for confectionery and pulls out the wire which instead plays faster and louder, causing the neighborhood to be disturbed by the noise." I see what you're trying to say, but it's a long sentence verging on a run-on. Try rewriting
Wikilink Jehova's witnesses in production section
Make sure sentences with quotes end with citations

Just a few minor issuses above, and the article will be good to go! Ruby2010 comment! 15:10, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting fact

Fun fact from the Karen Carpenter article: In 1976, Carpenter bought two Century City apartments that she combined into one; the doorbell chimed the opening notes of "We've Only Just Begun". Alexcalamaro (talk) 18:08, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
