8th or 7th Commandment?[edit]

"You shall not steal" is the 7th Commandment in Catholic religion, but in the episode "The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star" it's said that the Simpsons are Protestant and in Protestant religion it's the 8th Commandment.83.34.134.15 17:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ralph Wiggum's debut?[edit]

I am removing under the article 'Debut Appearences', 'Ralph Wiggum'. Ralph first appeared in the episode 'Moaning Lisa', although a near-identical character appeared as "Japanese Santa" in 'Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire'. Rock Global 16:43, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 04:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'll be reviewing this article as part of the April GAN Backlog Elimination Drive. This article is in great shape, but until the below minor issues are fixed, I'm placing it on hold. The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 04:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

It'd be better if you include what number the episode is overall (i.e., "...and the 26th episode overall")
- Done. The leftorium 10:43, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Plot[edit]

Wikilink $ to US Dollar.
- Done The leftorium 09:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"as long as he likes" → "as long as he desires"
- Done The leftorium 09:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In the last paragraph: "a much-anticipated boxing match in which Drederick Tatum will challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship." Do you mean fight for the Championship?
- Not sure what you mean. The leftorium 09:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - As in, in stead of "Tatum with challenge for the Championship," say "Tatum will fight for the Championship." The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 15:37, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"[...]all of his friends to come over and watch[...]" -> "over to watch"
- That would cause repetition of the word "to". The leftorium 09:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Production[edit]

Is that Moses picture really necessary?
- Done Removed. The leftorium 09:31, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In the DVD commentary for "The Homer They Fall," I seem to recall Weinstein saying that Tatum was named after a kid he knew in school. Am I correct?

Cultural references[edit]

In stead of "looks exactly like Don King," I say it should be worded, "strongly resembles Don King"
Burns is not mentioned in the plot, so wikilink to his name.
The bit about the films they watch should be before the Broadcast News reference.
- Done (all of them) The leftorium 09:31, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

Nodda. Nice work.

Images[edit]

Two PD images, on FU image which seems fine.

Final say[edit]

Everything's fine. Passing. Nice job! The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 17:40, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks a lot for the review! :) The leftorium 19:57, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Watson[edit]

Could someone confirm if the DVD commentary explictly states that Watson resembles Marvin Hagler, or is that just POV? I mean, if we're going by the latter, I'd say he looks more like Evander Holyfield, which would make a lot more sense considering the huge clamour for a fight between him and Tyson at the time.
