The article looks pretty good. I will add my comments here soon. --TheLeftorium 20:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Comments

I was bold and made some corrections myself, but here are my comments:

• This part of the plot is pretty useless: Susan sarcastically says that she'll have to call "national headquarters" and let them know Ellen got away. "Damn, just one more and I would have gotten that toaster oven."
• So is this: (and inadvertently broadcasts her announcement over the airport public address system)
• And this: "I mean, you never see a cake that says 'Good for you, you're gay!'" To which her therapist says, "Good for you. You're gay."
• And this: Under the closing credits, Susan leads Ellen over to Melissa Etheridge. Melissa confirms that Ellen is gay and, after completing the necessary paperwork, awards Susan a toaster oven.
• Guest stars section needs references and should probably be moved to the infobox
• This paragraph needs references: With the cancellation of Ellen, DeGeneres focused her energy on stand-up comedy, where she had begun her career. She returned to network television in 2001 with the short-lived The Ellen Show, in which her character Ellen Richmond was openly lesbian from the start, before finding renewed success with her talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Other than that, everything looks good. I'll put the article on hold so you have a week to make changes. :) TheLeftorium 20:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review. I have to disagree with your comments about the plot section, especially the toaster oven references. The toaster oven joke has become a meme within the LGBT community and given that even eleven years after the fact is pretty instantly recognizable I think removing it not only detracts from the article in general but especially for the second reference it renders the plot summary incomplete and disappears Etheridge from the article. My understanding is that cast lists don't requires referencing because they can be checked by viewing the episode. The only reasons I didn't want to put the guest stars in the infobox is because the number of them would make the infobox very long and the aesthetics of listing their roles in the infobox are poor. I will tack some sources onto the paragraph in question. Otto4711 (talk) 21:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, okay then. Sounds good. Thanks for correcting my mistakes by the way. --TheLeftorium 21:18, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
