Wikisimpsons:Comprehensive article nominations/Archive 1

Passed

Mr. Plow (business)

It is a decent length article for something as minor as this. It will never make featured status but I feel it is long enough to deserve some credit. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 10:53, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

1. Suprisinly well developed. ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 11:11, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
2. Good article. It has my vote. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 19:43, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
3. Complete. --Smiley12 was here at 04:12, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Homer Simpson (Police Cops)

I made this article and was pleased of how lengthy it was for such a minor character. It has two pictures and is properly referenced for something like that. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 10:59, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Support (3)

1. Yup. Good article.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   22:14, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
2. That's what's up. TheUnderfaker 15:24, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
3. Got my Support. --Smiley12 was here at 04:12, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Shapes

A great article with history and a table of Known Customers. Brassbandplayer 09:58, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support (5)

1. Along with the above, two well-written articles the caliber of which I this Wiki should be producing. Keep it up! TheUnderfaker 15:08, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
2. Yup    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   15:15, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
3. If we could get a quote about it, that would be good. Otherwise, it is fine. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:37, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
4. Good article. Josegiraffio ^{Want to talk} 15:51, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
5. Very good, Support --Smiley12 was here at 03:57, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Added a quote. -- Mythigator 01:23, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Fort Fragg

A detailed and well-written article (that I take no credit for). TheUnderfaker 19:43, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support (4)

1. Good article.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   15:15, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

3. Support --Smiley12 was here at 03:57, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
4. Informative despite size, proven to be useful and therfore feature worthy to me Cronokinetic 21:41, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral (1)

1. Unfortunately, there really isn't a good quote about Fort Fragg (unless you want a snip from the quasi-flirtatious dialogue of the soldiers in the shower room). There isn't all that much information about the fort in general, but the article does have what there is. -- Mythigator 12:50, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Flanders the Devil

A massive article for a character who appeared in one episode. I would say that it is just off featured status. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:28, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. Yup. Good article,    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   21:24, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
2. A good article for a one time character. Josegiraffio ^{Want to talk} 15:46, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

Are articles on non-canon topics suitable for comprehensive article nominations? Just wondering, because the criteria do say the article must include all canon information, which won't be the case for Treehouse of Horror characters. Maybe the criteria need to be tweaked slightly. That said, though, I think the Devil Flanders is a good article (if it's not too biased of me to say so). On a slightly different topic and looking forward a bit, it would be cool (IMO) to feature one or more Treehouse of Horror articles on the front page of the wiki when October arrives. -- Mythigator 20:15, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Changed the criteria slightly. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 21:21, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Steve Mobbs

A good, long, detailed article on a one time character. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:29, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. Yes. Great page!    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   21:24, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
2. Good article with multiple images. Brassbandplayer 15:53, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Milo

Huge article for someone who only appeared at the start of an episode. --Smiley12 was here at 22:03, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. Yeah. As Smiley said, great page for a one-time character.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   22:15, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
2. Seems like a great article. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:24, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

Milo's personality really comes across in how he sets up and runs his store. And since the episode spends a good amount of time in the store, it actually provides quite a lot of information about Milo. -- Mythigator 13:58, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Adil Hoxha

A well-done article of a minor character. - --ThePlatypus 14:29, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Support (3)

1. It's got my vote. -- Mythigator 03:57, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
2. Once again, I would like a quote as most articles can get a quote. Otherwise, it is fine. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:39, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
3. Yeah, good article.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   12:52, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral (0)

#Needs some MoS tweaks, but otherwise looks good. -- Mythigator 15:03, August 30, 2010 (UTC) Withdrawn after giving the article a makeover. -- Mythigator 03:56, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

Because Adil literally lives a double life while he's staying with the Simpsons, it seemed appropriate to use two quotes. -- Mythigator 12:24, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Lurleen Lumpkin

A really good article for a character who has only spoke in three episodes with a lot of detail. Josegiraffio ^{Want to talk} 13:50, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. Well, it could do with a quote but otherwise, it is a good article. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:16, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
2. Fixed it up and support now. TheUnderfaker 14:27, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ultrahouse 3000

A massive article for such a minor character/building. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:13, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Support (3)

1. A really good article. Josegiraffio ^{Want to talk} 07:34, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

3. Fine by me. Support. TheUnderfaker 14:32, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Opening Sequence

A massive article, not likely to get featured though, that is full of pictures and information about each of the opening sequences. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:14, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Support (4)

1. Agreed. Has had a lot of work put into it... Effluvium 20:17, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
2. Highly detailed. ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 20:20, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
3. Also agreed. -- Mythigator 15:56, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
4. Epic article. -- Lotito491 18:00, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Lord Montymort

Great article for a character that's only made one non-canon appearance. Unlikely to get featured. Doh5678 14:33 October 16th

Support (3)

1. Looks good. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
2. Good, long article that probably isn't long enough to get featured. Had a lot of effort put into writing it. Josegiraffio ^{Want to talk} 13:36, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
3. Got my vote. -- Mythigator 10:36, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

The Re-Deadening

Long and detailed for a movie article, and has had more editors than just me putting a lot of work into it. I was working on it a little (since the local TV station just re-ran "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner"), and I'm convinced that the article now has everything that we know (or can reasonably conjecture) about the movie. -- Mythigator 10:36, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. A great article. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 11:35, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
2. It's one of our best. Great job, whoever worked on it. TheUnderfaker 13:53, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

James Woods (character)

As complete as a single-episode self-playing guest star character page can be. Gran2 23:14, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Support (4)

1. Looks good and has everything. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 05:22, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

3. Looking good ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 20:20, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
4. Yup Effluvium 23:39, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral (1)

1. Needs some MoS work to be in past tense rather than present. Otherwise, it looks good. -- Mythigator 18:22, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Why should it be in the past tense? The show uses a floating timeline so in my view it makes a lot more sense to write in-universe articles in the present tense. At no point does the tense impact on the meaning of the article. Gran2 18:59, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

The point has been made before about articles sounding more professional and polished when they're in past tense rather than present.That's all. -- Mythigator 19:19, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Springfield Lemon Tree

Everything you need to know is there. I say this article is complete. TheUnderfaker 14:15, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. Could do with a decent quote (possibly one of Grampa's about it) but otherwise it is fine. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:23, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
2. Absolutely yes -- and I added a Grampa quote, BTW. This is a perfect example of an article not needing to be long to be complete. -- Mythigator 16:39, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Cornelius Chapman

It's a small article, but it's all there. TheUnderfaker 14:47, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. Oh, forgot all about this article. Yes! A great article Effluvium 14:49, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
2. Another great example of a short comprehensive article. -- Mythigator 17:24, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Comments

They did have a sidebar about him in The Simpsons Beyond Forever!: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family...Still Continued. Should that count as an appearance? TheUnderfaker 14:47, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

It certainly should count as an appearance, and if the sidebar has any additional information about him, it should go into a non-canon section of the article. -- Mythigator 17:24, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Mrs. Glick

A very good article. Simply complete. Doh5678 18:27, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. A good complete article, and unlikely to be featured because it's short and because Mrs. Glick doesn't appear very often. -- Mythigator 19:27, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
2. Fine article. TheUnderfaker 13:42, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Gabbo

This is a fairly long article for a character who was only the focus of one episode. It has a picture, quote and is of decent length. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:13, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

1. I love this article. A BIG yes from me! Effluvium 14:20, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
2. Support. --Silver Knight 03:00, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Very in-depth article for a one-episode subject. Originally rejected for featured status. TheUnderfaker 22:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

1. Definitely worth comprehensive status. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 22:56, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Failed

Mindy Simmons

Quite a big article with a large Behind the Laughter section for a character who only appeared in one episode plus a few cameos. Josegiraffio ^{Want to talk} 11:30, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Support (4)

1. A quote would be good, however, it is large for a character like her. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:25, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
2. Yup    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   12:28, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
3. It's got my vote. And now also a quote. -- Mythigator 13:53, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
4. Yup. - ThePlatypus 14:19, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose (1)

1. The BtL section should be referenced and the Non-canon section isn't necessarily non-canon, it was just a dream/illusion, and should be stated as such. TheUnderfaker 14:20, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

I created a template for commentaries, so the BtL section can be referenced. TheUnderfaker 15:01, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

For a comprehensive article I think there should be a better image. Josegiraffio ^{Want to talk} 17:33, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Decided to fail this as it still has some problems. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:16, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ian Maxtone-Graham (Withdrawn)

One of the longest staff articles I've seen and has no red links at all. Doh5678 18:17, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Oppose (2)

1. A lot of content unrelated to the Simpsons and probably copied from Wikipedia. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:46, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
2. Also opposed, for the same reasons. This article needs to be rewritten. -- Mythigator 05:28, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Comments

• Withdrawn because it's unrelated to the Simpsons. Doh5678 18:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
  • It's not that it is unrelated to The Simpsons, it is just that some of the content is unrelated and copied from Wikipedia. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 21:42, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

All article nominations that have been moved to Wikisimpsons:Featured article due to being lengthy enough to become featured.

Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team

Probably as big as a team featured in a single episode can get. It took a lot of work, but I'm quite proud of the number of images in this one too. -- Brian McClure 20:48, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

• Could this possibly be a featured article actually? It has great length and detail, even for a comprehensive article. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 05:21, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
  • I was thinking that. I would support it ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 20:20, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
  • I was also thinking the same thing. Its size is more befitting of featured instead of comprehensive status. And seeing all the support it's gotten here, we can just forego the featured article process and go ahead and promote it to that status. (We can possibly even make it next month's featured article.) TheUnderfaker 14:51, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
    • Should I just cut and paste this onto the featured article nominations then? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:10, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
    • Yeah. TheUnderfaker 15:24, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
