The Simpsons (season 4) edit

This time, I've got another season of The Simpsons. I will address any concerns brought up. -- Scorpion0422 19:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved stuff from The Rambling Man (talk) 14:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments - a very good and comprehensive list. I have a few comments for you.
    • Just a minor format issue but The Simpsons' fourth season" looks odd with the apostraphe there - why not "The fourth season of..."?  Done
    • "Following the end of the production of the season, Jean, Reiss and most of the original writing staff left the show, causing more staff to be hired." - I'm sure this is relevant but if staff leave they're generally replaced. As this must be significant because it's in the lead, can this be clarified or expanded upon?  Done
    • "The season would be .." why not just "..was..."?  Done
    • You need a fair use rationale for the DVD cover specific to this article.  Done
    • "would leave" - why not just "left"?  Done
    • "original team" - your quotation or from someone else?  Done
    • "production eun" -typo I think.  Done
    • "would leave" x3 then "would return", "would stay", "would receive", "would return" in the Development section - odd tense and somewhat repetitive language.  Done
    • "return a few times" - not particularly encyclopaedic.  Done
    • "...series would win ..." as above.  Done
    • 60-1 - move Mr. Black to after "director of the camp, Mr Black, ..."  Done
    • 61-2 - "and manages to get" - "but manages"..  Done
    • 63-4 - "Guest stars: Bob Hope.[20] " - only one star?  Done
    • 64-5 - why is zombie capitalised?  Done
    • 68-9 - "demolishing and wrecking" - surely demolishing supersedes wrecking!  Done
    • 69-10 - Jeff Martin links to a dab page.  Done
    • 73-14 - "After leaving Bart alone at soccer practice, Homer's inept care for Bart prompts Bart...." triple Bart! Rephrase.  Done
    • 73-14 - "ventually" - missing an e?  Done
    • 79-20 - "Guest star: Barry White" not cited, seems like the only one?
      • The reference for the episode is one line lower. -- Scorpion0422 13:59, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Page ranges in references should use en-dash, not hyphen.  Done
  • That's about it from me. Hope the comments are of use. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have addressed all of your comments. Thanks for the review. -- Scorpion0422 13:59, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - now all my comments have been (rapidly and accurately) addressed. Good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Support Good job, only a few comments that hardly pass as concerns:
      • The lead uses "show runner" while "showrunner" is used several times below.  Done
      • Al Jean and Mike Reiss, who had also ran the previous season... Who had also run?  Done
      • Several sentences in the Development section deal with crew leaving, but the tense changes to present briefly when mentioning David M Stern and Jon Vitti.  Done
      • "Treehouse of Horror III" was nominated for Emmys for... How about "nominated for Emmys in the categories of"?
      • Should "the Ayn Rand school of tots" be capitalised?  Done
      • "...eventually Homer becomes injured" sounds a little... weird. If you're in a brawl, you don't usually "become injured". How about "Homer is injured" or something less, um, accidental?  Done
      • "Springfiedians"? You'd know better than me, but I seem to recall them referred to in other episodes as "Springfielders". But again, I'd trust you on that one.  Done
    • Good stuff, and I hope the comments are useful. :) •97198 talk 06:30, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oh, and the DVD release dates appear as "Region 1 on 15 June 2004, Region 2 on 2 August, 2004 and in Region 4 on 25 August, 2004" - the latter two with commas - because some setting defaults to no-comma if the year's linked. Is that just my settings, or is it universal? •97198 talk 06:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm not sure. Anyway, your concerns have been addressed. -- Scorpion0422 15:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • Coolies, thanks :) And that date thing is a little weird - who knows. •97198 talk 00:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Conditional support
      • It's only a minor one, but I think the table headers would be better in white text, rather than black against the dark blue. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 21:19, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I switched it to a lighter colour of blue. Is it better now? -- Scorpion0422 03:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It is better, but it's not great. I dunno, maybe it's my eyes, but I still think
    this looks better than this
