Talk:Sweets and Sour Marge

Music

There should be a reference to the music played in the background in some scenes. It's familiar, but not from the series. IAmTheOneAndOnly 16:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

i'm going to take out the comment that says, 'this could be a reference to ben stiller's dodgeball' dodgeball had yet to be released or even written when this episode came out.

Removed section

Unless we can provide a source on Milwaukeeans being offended by Homer's statment, we cannot put that in. I've removed the section PowderedToastMan 03:13, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Dabf03.jpg

Image:Dabf03.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Biting the hand that feeds me Butterfingers

Did Butterfinger drop the Simpsons because of the comment in the episode, or was it the other way around like the Butterfinger article claims? It seems unlikely that they would make a jab like this BEFORE they were dropped, but the Simpsons are zany like that. The "I will not bite the hand that feeds me Butterfingers" chalkboard reference does seem like an apology of sorts. It would be awesome if anyone knew and could cite this for both pages. Thanks WesUGAdawg (talk) 00:50, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

The Simpsons took a jab at Butterfingers after their contract with them had expired. Al Jean mentions it in the DVD commentary for the episode. Queenieacoustic (talk) 02:55, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Comments

• Wikilink thirteenth season in lead
• "The idea for the episode was pitched by Omine, who based on a lawsuit at the time, wherein smokers sued tobacco companies for selling harmful wares." I think there's a word missing
• Unitalicize Motherloving Sweets and Sugar Company, and add quotation marks
• Make sure sentences with quotes end with citations (like "According to Omine, the list "never ended," and when the writers ..." etc)
• "At one point in the episode, the Springfield residents try to set the record or largest human pyramid, which fails when the pyramid collapses, causing the people to roll into a giant ball." I think a word is missing
• "Despite the risk of redundancy, "Sweets" actually works..." Should be 'Sweets'
• Decap refs 4, 6 and 11

On hold for seven days. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 21:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
