Talk:There's Something About Marrying

1st goof

Is this really a goof: "Although Homer stopped being homophobic in Homer's Phobia and even lived together with two openly homosexual men in Three Gays of the Condo he still can be seen holding a sign "Death before gay marriage"." I think it's just a sight-gag and a play on Homer's stupidity, rather than a goof. Lugnuts 11:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree... B. Meijlink 14:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree; that's not a mistake.--- I moved it to trivia —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Svetovid (talk • contribs) 12:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

Website

Does anyone know anything about the web site that was created for this episode, springfieldisforgayloversofmarriage.com ? It was around for a while but it's not working for me at the moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.171.50 (talk) 01:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   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

• The lead's plot is a little long and detailed for a section meant to summarize, but otherwise seems fine to me
  • I have to disagree, I think it's the prefect length considering that the rest of the article is pretty long. Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

• It was just a suggestion, no obligation to change it Ruby2010 comment! 23:12, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

• Indicate Burns was a co-executive producer
  • I don't see why that's important. There's a lot of them on the show. And no other Simpsons articles list co-executive producers. Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

• Yes many of them do. Just look at the articles by Queenieacoustic. I find that indicating how a writer/director relates to the show adds a lot to the article, rather than saying just mentioning a potentially obscure name. Ruby2010 comment! 23:12, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

• Alright, done. Theleftorium ^(talk) 23:17, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

• Any DVD special features?
  • This season hasn't been released on DVD. Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

• If this article were to progress to FA (it certainly is close to reaching the criteria), I'd wait for the special features to be released. Ruby2010 comment! 23:12, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

• "According to the publications Zeek: A Jewish Journal of Thought and Culture and Value War: Public Opinion and the Politics of Gay Rights," Is it publication or publications?
  • It's two publications. The word "and" isn't italicized. Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
• A screenshot would really add to the article, assuming you could come up with a good enough rational for it
  • I can't think of any screenshot that would pass WP:NFCC#1 and #8. Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
• Ref 4 (The Advocate) and 10 need authors and access date
  • Access date added to both (I don't know the authors since I got the information from Google Books' snippet view). Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
• Use consistent date formatting (Compare ref 2 to 7 for instance)
  • Done. Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
• Digital Spy is not italicized
  • Done. Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

On hold for seven days while everything gets sorted. Good job with a controversial subject. Ruby2010 comment! 19:42, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! And thanks for the review! :) Theleftorium ^(talk) 20:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Looks good. Happy to pass this one for GA. Nice work! Ruby2010 comment! 23:24, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! :D Theleftorium ^(talk) 23:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
