I've listed this article for peer review because...

I was expecting this, a crucial part of The Simpsons' early years, to be at GA level all this time. One day last week, I went to its talk page--and my mind went something like, "Hey, why isn't this one yet?" One look at the assessment class, and you'll know why.

I'm sorry if I haven't followed Homer, Bart and company that much in ages. Don't get me wrong, I may like this show, but I have other interests in my pursuit, like The Bellflower Bunnies (whose TV show list I'm helping to improve right now through PR.)

So first and foremost, to end this request: How complete is this article?

Ok, I'm not a regular contributor to episode articles, but I will compare this article to a recently featured TV episode The Last Temptation of Krust;

The lead should have about 3-4 sentences on the plot, as you would have no idea what it is if you read this lead.
A sentence related to reception should be included at the end of the lead.
Fair use rationales are very vague; you must say exactly what is being demonstrated by using an image, and why it is really important to demonstrate it.
There should be an image of the most significant moment in the show in the plot or production section, whichever is more appropriate.
The deleted scenes section should be deleted and anything useful incorporated into the production section.
In the cultural references section, add detail as to how people reacted to the references, whether they worked or not, that kind of thing.
Ask people at Wikiproject Simpsons if they can get you a few quotes from Simpsons books about the episode and how good it was or wasn't.
Bulk up the reception section with stuff like the DVD commentary of the episode.
After that, copyedit the heck out of it, take it to the league of copyeditors for help or do a peer review focusing on prose. Make sure it flows.

If you do that, I think you'll have an FA :)Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am the main author of this article and my plan was to take it to FA, but I stopped because I don't believe anymore that this can reach FA. There are simply not enough sources. I have used up everything from the commentary, looked in the most common Simpson books, and the cultural references and the reception section are still too short.

I could do some more work on it. Bulk up the lead and do something about the images. If somebody could copyedit it I would appreciate it. Then we will have a GA. --Maitch (talk) 10:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
