*Oppose all three. Not complete, not enough cultural references or trivia, as well as poor formatting. Also, what are we going to do about quotes? They do look horrible and are technically copyvio... Maybe we should have sub-pages for them like on Lostpedia. [[User:Gran2|Gran2]] 18:44, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Of the three of them, I'd say [[Homer's Barbershop Quartet]] looks the best. The other two need more content, such as cultural references and trivia sections. -- [[User:Brian McClure|Brian McClure]] 23:31, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

How to nominate:[edit]

  1. First, nominate an episode you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
  2. Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
  3. Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
  4. The article is placed on the featured episode list and added to the front page queue.
  5. At the start of a new month, the article with more supporters (or one of them in case of a draw) will be officially known as a "featured episode".

How to vote:

  1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
  2. Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
    1. If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
  3. As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
