Okay, this is my first FLC so let’s see how it goes. I've gradually built this article up over about three months, as I got sidetracked by other projects. But now I believe it to be ready. It is modelled after the other Simpsons season FLs (1, 2 & 8). I shall do my best to fix any concerns raised. Gran2 16:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Very well written and sourced. Hopefully we can all help make every season up to 14 featured, eh? Xihix 22:42, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Surveyed a couple random summaries and they seem alright, except for a bit in "The Springfield Connection" where a "Herman" is mentioned without a link anywhere in the article (he's covered as a section of List of recurring characters from The Simpsons). I think you might want to check for more similar cases and link to their sections. Circeus 20:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh yeah, forgot about that, I couldn't remember the page name when I was writing it! So consider it done, and thanks (both of you) for the support. Gran2 20:07, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose for now The prose, especially in the episode summaries has plenty of errors:
- "Bart of Darkness" and "Lisa's Rival", were held over from the previous season - What exactly does "held over" mean? Also "held up" sounds unencyclopedic.
- is it town attempt or town attempts to cool down?
- Homer steals 100 pounds of sugar for an overturned truck - Spot the error.
- one relationship has succeeded, he and Marge’s - correction : his.
- Each of the Simpsons (using clips from previous episodes) reminisce - I don't think Maggie reminisces, does she?
- After experiencing several of violent attractions.
- whilst Bart and Lisa - should be while.
- and event which proves
- Homer throws everything he can at them, discovering that a camera’s flash destroys the robots. - "finally" or "before" should be there before the "discovering". Maybe even "until he discovers".
- from a gift shop - "a" or "the"?
- and The Simpsons - lower case "t".
- Whilst searching through the voter records, Lisa is left a message by someone who knows what happened. should be While searching through the voter records, Lisa is left a message by someone who claims to know what actually happened.
- name of a man who voted for Bob, but had really been long dead. - insert "supposedly" before "voted".
- decides against seeing here.
- Marge tries to stop to resolve their conflicts.
- During the match, Bart prepares to take a penalty against Lisa, but the pair throw aside their equipment and embrace, tying the game. and Later, Homer takes the children's babysitter Ashley Grant home, and noticing that the gummy Venus has become stuck to her pants he grabs it- The prose is a bit lacking here.
- A mob of protestors soon arrives at - "arrive" ?
- Groundskeeper Willie sees Homer's speech, and presents him with a video tape he recorded, that clearly shows Homer was innocent after all. - again prose problems.
- Each of them accidentally or both of them?
- There, he is mistaken as a really pilot
- and so the vacation is put on hold. to putting the vacation on hold.
- During a detention remove "a".
- protect each other to protect themselves.
- Shouldn't it be mentioned that the only structure that was destroyed was the abandoned shelter?
- he and Homer's to his and....
- Bart and Homer and flee

- Marge teaches Bart about town pride, and he becomes embroiled in a fight with and boy from the neighbouring town of Shelbyville. to After Marge teaches him about town pride, Bart becomes embroiled in a fight with a boy from the neighbouring town of Shelbyville.
- Shouldn't there be a mention of "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)" being in the next season?

- All done, except for a few things: "held over" is the correct term, they were due to air in one season, but were kept back to this. It is "a" gift shop, as there were many. And the bomb shelter falling down was just a second long sight gag, that wasn't important to the plot at all. Thanks for the comments. Gran2 20:58, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You have my hat tip, Tommy, for having the patience to read through those summaries. These (and similar lists) tend to have a wee bit more prose than is practical to read (It's the wee chunks. Long articles are no problems). Circeus 01:43, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support I think all of the prose comments have been addressed. It looks really good. -- Scorpion0422 18:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
