Hi, I'm Kingsif, and I'll be doing this review. This is an automated message that helps keep the bot updating the nominated article's talkpage working and allows me to say hi. Feel free to reach out and, if you think the review has gone well, I have some open GA nominations that you could (but are under no obligation to) look at. Kingsif (talk) 19:18, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Thank you so much for the review. I will make sure to review an article of yours. However, I may not be active for the next day or so. I have the coronavirus and it has taken a toll on me. I promise to respond as quickly as I can though. AmericanAir88^(talk) 01:16, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

@AmericanAir88: Have you had any chance to work on the article (I haven't looked over it yet)? Kingsif (talk) 16:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: I am still recovering from the coronavirus. I promise I will get to it. AmericanAir88^(talk) 17:20, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

@AmericanAir88: Don't worry, stay safe. Kingsif (talk) 17:25, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

@AmericanAir88: It's been about a month, I'm looking at failing this but thought I'd give you the chance to speak up if you're still feeling awful. Kingsif (talk) 19:08, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: I am still having symptoms. I apologize. Also my job has been really busy with the transitions. I promise I will get to it. Thank you for the concern though. AmericanAir88^(talk) 00:18, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

@AmericanAir88: I don't know if you need a reminder, and please take your time (no penalties for being sick), but I'm sending out my GAN backlog reminders in case you've forgotten :) Kingsif (talk) 22:17, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: I will start working more on this today. I am sorry. Its been really busy with work and the illness. I really want to come back to Wikipedia. Hopefully things will smooth out soon. AmericanAir88^(talk) 15:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@AmericanAir88: July reminder ping :) Again, if you need time to work on it without GANR looming over you, just let me know, but it seems close enough to pass it shouldn't be much work left! Kingsif (talk) 12:48, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Good Article review progress box Criteria: 1a. prose () 1b. MoS () 2a. ref layout () 2b. cites WP:RS () 2c. no WP:OR () 2d. no WP:CV () 3a. broadness () 3b. focus () 4. neutral () 5. stable () 6a. free or tagged images () 6b. pics relevant () Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

• Lead should mention that "tomacco" was actually produced, and should wikilink Zorro  Done
• The infobox's chalkboard gag doesn't need a ref  Done
• Sources all look good enough, with the Twitter link for a direct statement by a creator
• One commons image, used well
• Some recent vandalism in the edit history... have the IPs been quashed?
• I've made some grammar edits in the article

Plot

• duel, dawn, RV, land, mincemeat, helicopter and sheep don't need wikilinks  Done

Production

• Is it worth mentioning that "Glove Slap" is a parody of "Love Shack"?  Done

Themes and cultural references

• In especially its "blatant historical inaccuracies" which sees the film feature Zorro, King Arthur, the Three Musketeers, the Scarlet Pimpernel, the Man in the Iron Mask and ninjas in nineteenth century Mexico.", there's another quotation mark at the end - is this extraneous or is part of the list a quotation?  Done Fixed quotation issue. Its one long quote.
• The grammar in the cast list needs to be tightened up.  Done
• This paragraph on The Poke of Zorro feels a bit messy, it could be rewritten to read better  Done
• The other paragraph is just a list, and isn't great to read either. Style is weak.  Done

Release

• In the Nature 'review'... that's not a review, that's just recapping the episode. All of , writing: "Homer's attempts to be a farmer in 'E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)' involve using plutonium as a fertilizer. DNA from tobacco seeds and tomato seeds blend to produce a fruit that tastes like ashtray, but is nonetheless 'refreshingly addictive'." can just be removed
• The three review paragraphs can be consolidated

Legacy

• Remembering the article in a textbook, Baur cultivated real tomacco in 2003 - what article (needs clarifying in the article)? Is it the scientific journal? If so, is he really inspired by the Simpsons, then?
• The Baur paragraph reads very staccato and could be improved
• Sneed's Feed and Seed... the first part is unreferenced, and also isn't that clear or informative so could just be removed.  Done removed.
• Maxtone-Graham doesn't need a wikilink here  Done

Overall

• Mostly needs some improvements in style. Kingsif (talk) 19:40, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
