Review by Theleftorium

Production

[edit]
  • What's a holdover? Why did it become a holdover?
  • As a result, the writers, animators, and producers had to work extremely long hours – So did they work on the episode during the summer? Shouldn't this have given them more time than usual for the episode?
  • Done
  • they enjoyed DeVito's guest starring - This is the first time DeVito is mentioned. Link please.
  • Done
  • There's no need to link "original Herb episode" to "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" (it's already linked a few sentences earlier).
  • Done
  • Originally, when Bart performed his "Living Room Olympics" - "Living Room Olympics"? Clarification please. :)
  • Done
  • joke was scrapped.[8]The - Insert a space after "[8]".
  • Thanks for the comments! I've fixed most of the concerns, but I removed the bit about the holdover because he commentary wasn't exactly clear about why it became about a holdover, and they only mentioned it :) Cheers, I'mperator 19:18, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • the word 'Excellence' in the award title - Use quotation marks around excellence. Also, excellence shouldn't be capitalized.
  • Done

I began a review of this article but ended up becoming one of the main contributors. I am therefore requesting a second opinion. Thank you, Theleftorium 16:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Second opinion

[edit]
  • In the lead, this sentence ---> "The producers decided to create this episode in part because many The Simpsons fans were unhappy", reads kinda odd.
    • Is it better now?
      • The wording was fine, "The Simpsons" was what made it read strange.
        • Removed "The Simpsons" from the sentence.
  • In the Production section, please link "Springfield" to its correspondence article.
    • Done.
  • Same section (production), "...many viewers being unhappy about the sad ending to the previous episode "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" (season two, 1991)" ---> "...many viewers being unhappy about the sad ending to the previous episode of season two "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", something like that, your choice.
    • I prefer the way it is now. The same "format" is used on several of the project's featured articles, such as Homer Simpson.
      • Just a suggestion.
  • Same section, "Originally the producers were going end the original Herb episode with Herb saying "I have an idea!" at the end of it", I believe "to" should be between "going" and "end".
    • Done.
      • Check.
  • In the Reception section, "In its original American broadcast, "Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?" finished 31st in ratings for the week of August 24–30, 1992", I think "the" needs to be added between "in" and "ratings".
    • Done.
      • Check.
  • Reference 17 is missing Publisher info.
    • Done.
      • Check.
