The Simpsons Movie edit

Looks to be close to FA. But apparently I'm not allowed to nominate so I'm giving it a PR instead. Buc (talk) 11:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind if you nominate it, I'd just appreciate some notification right before you do, but I'd be glad if you nominated it. But what it really needs now is a copy-edit. Gran2 15:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Glad you think that. Most people on the talk page don't seem to. Buc (talk) 21:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you could submit the article to the WikiProject League of Copyeditors and explain that the goal is to achieve Featured Article status? I got an excellent work-over with Fight Club (film) from one of the people involved there. —Erik (talkcontrib) - 15:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd been meaning to do that for a while, but never got around to it. That is, until now, thanks for the tip. Gran2 18:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I've done everything I can to improve the prose. ce isn't one of my strengths though. Buc (talk) 16:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Right I think we might need to expand the lead a bit, but we're almost there. Although to make sure the page is more or less complete, I'd leave any nomination until after the award season is over, or at least until the Academy Award nominations; just in case the film does some how beat Ratatouille to any of the Best Animated Film awards.

The lead looks fine. It's longer than a lot of existing FA. Buc (talk) 18:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Something else I've thought of. Should there be a mention of the intro for He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs? Buc (talk) 08:00, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Possible, where would it go though? Gran2 08:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Cultural references Buc (talk) 18:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • How is it a cultural reference? Gran2 19:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • The whole intro was re-made for this episode and make a lot of references to the movie. Buc (talk) 15:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • I know it was... but how is that a cultural reference? That section is for references made during the film. Gran2 15:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • Don't cultural reference section nomally cover references made both by the subject and to the subject. Buc (talk) 17:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
              • Not usually, at least not in my experiance, anyway, its an FAC now, so we need to archive this. Gran2 17:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
