Talk:The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Good article nomination on hold

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of March 29, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Some minor style errors, but handled those myself (For example, best to write "Do not" rather than "Don't", unless it is an actual quote)

2. Factually accurate?: Article contains good references.

3. Broad in coverage?: Does not cover everything. For example, the article does not say where the episode title is referenced from.

4. Neutral point of view?: No sign of bias

5. Article stability? Little sign of edit wars.

6. Images?: A little confusing. I would recommend using {{Non-free use rationale}} to make it clearer.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. ISD (talk) 10:24, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't find a reliable source to back up the episode title being a reference (although you and I both know it is, it needs to be referenced.) I'll skim through the DVD commentary again, but if its not mentioned - there is nothing more I can do, unfortunately. Qst (talk) 16:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm stuck now - as its not on the DVD and no reliable sources can confirm this. If you would to input here, please feel free. Qst (talk) 16:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, switch over to Template:Non-free media rationale =  Done. You may wish to provide some input on the other issue, if you feel it would be necessary. Qst (talk) 17:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Pass

The GA criteria says that the article, "addresses the major aspects of the topic and stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary details". I feel I can therefore let this past, although I would suggest that if you wanted to try and promoted to the article to FA, you would need to find a reliable source.

The Tan Aquatic/The Life Aquatic?

Some of us contributed that the episode title is a reference to a 2004 movie starring Bill Murray called The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Needs a source though. I don't believe it really needs it when it seems so obvious with evidence from the time gap for the movie and the episode. I would have felt if both were coming out very close together, it would need a source. Any other thoughts? Thanks! The Phantomnaut (talk) 06:28, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

-I think the "citation needed" is completely unnecessary. You don't need a source to make one and one equal two. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.189.143 (talk) 05:36, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

-I cannot find any commons between The Tan Aquatic/The Life Aquatic, except for the wording. Enlighten me, why this title, how does anything in this episode resemble the movie The Life Aquatic? ... 61.170.238.210 (talk) 14:06, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

South Park

It seems nobody has noticed the quite subtle South Park reference in this episode. I'm a big fan of both so it's no wonder that I spotted it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.103.93 (talk) 16:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
