May you wear the crowns well. Cirt (talk) 23:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC) BurnsOkay, I guess we could leave it for now (I actually think I have heard somewhere else that his voice is based on Barrymore), but an interview source would be nice. And could you pop onto IRC for a moment? Thanks, Scorpion0422 20:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC) Re: IndyThanks, all these stories about secrecy in films is hilarious. Is it a coincidence the most secretive films (Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Star Trek, Transformers 2, G.I. Joe) are produced by Paramount? Good luck with your GCSEs by the way.

I've also started doing some work on The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show, which is the closest to FA of any season 8 article (don't forget, we need 2 more to save our FT). I did some looking through Planet Simpson, and I think there may be enough in there for an analysis section, but we should also try and include some stuff from other Simpsons books. I'll ask Maitch if there is anything in Leaving Springfield. -- Scorpion0422 02:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

The Cartridge FamilyHello, sorry about me keep putting the section of The Simpsons episode The Cartridge Family about Channel 4 not airing the episode, as I watched the episode today on T4, because I thought Channel 4 didn't air the episode as it was skipped the last time it was supposed to be on, but it was showed today, anyway I found some censorship in the episode that I was hoping to add about it on the article, but I have no sources about it, but I know what the scenes are that are censored-SCB '92 (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2008 (UTC) Well the censors in the episode, anyway, were when one of the hookers asks Bart if he wants a good time, and at the end of the episode when Marge is about to throw the gun in the bin, she looks at her reflection, toys wih the gun and puts it into her purse-SCB '92 (talk) 14:12, 29 July 2008 (UTC) The Regina MonologuesSorry, I couldn't find anything on it that hasn't already been mentioned.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 NoticeHi, As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid. We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded. You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Lost Cast MembersHi there, I just read your note, I hadn't really thought about it yet, but the Harry Potter Cast members list seems like a fine example (only we should replace the movies with seasons). I also checked other lists like List of cast members of The Simpsons. If you like to help, all help is appreciated. --Music26/11 15:19, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Joey ShabadooActually, it turns out my memory on how many advocated some merit to merging is wrong. However, you are just one guy and so am I.

Sex, Pies and Idiot ScrapesRather predictably, the episode has stirred up a little controversy over the IRA line. However, I'm not sure how we report it. For the Peron line from the Wiggum episode, only a single politician was overly vocal about it, but it was reported by many different sources. In this case, a single politician (who has a wikipage) is complaining, but only a single source has reported it [7] and according to its wikipage, it's a tabloid. A couple reports have called it "controversial", but haven't really expanded past that. So should we use the tabloid, or wait and hope a more reliable source reports it? -- Scorpion0422 18:27, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
I predicted this would happen. So should we fight this or just let the babies have their bottle? Arguing with this anti-image crusaders is like banging your head on the wall - it's loud, pointless and nothing gets accomplished. And this particular crusader is very stubborn, he would probably nominate the page for FLR. -- Scorpion0422 23:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I've continued reading Nancy Cartwright's book and it turns out that she has a few small chapters devoted to Phil Hartman. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot (I haven't read the entire book, I've just read the chapter that recounts meeting him the first time, and the one where she remembers the day he was killed This is the most useable quote, from Pg. 71 - "Clean and unassuming, he had such a casual, no-nonsense way about him. It was that quality that we all find so hilarious, his delightful ability to poke fun at himself and at life with a tongue-in-cheek attitude comparable to, say, Tim Conway or Mel Brooks or Carol Burnett." -- Scorpion0422 02:30, 26 October 2008 (UTC) Philip HartmanI'm not sure if his role in Simpsons pages belongs in "later career" since he started voicing characters on the show just some time before leaving SNL. As well, the briefly talk about him in the commentary for "Bart the Murderer" and they specifically mention how they got him to take a recurring role. Might be useful. Obligatory Simpsons THOH quote: "this house has quite a colourful history. It was the site of Satanic rituals, Witch burnings and five John Denver christmas specials." -- Scorpion0422 15:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
I think I've found a free image of Glenn Close [9], would you mind uploading it? Thanks, Scorpion0422 19:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't know if you listened to this one already, but there are some very good comments about Hartman in the second commentary (the one involving Conan) for Marge vs. the Monorail (it starts about six minutes in and goes on for a bit). Conan says some very nice things about him, and you might be able to use them. Groening also mentions that Hartman insisted on auditioning for the part of Zapp Branigan. -- Scorpion0422 19:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC) Just an update, the Movie lost the Environmental Media Award, you may want to add that. On a side note, Marge is proving immensely difficult to write a voice section about, Julie Kavner is notoriously shy, rarely gives interviews and when she does, she refuses to talk about her techniques and usually steers away from The Simpsons. -- Scorpion0422 17:42, 23 November 2008 (UTC) Re; TSM"D'oh" My sincere apologies. I was thinking back to the house in the sinkhole and not being on fire, I forgot about that scene. So sorry. You can change it if you like. The Clawed One (talk) Barnstar: The Random Acts of Kindness

Robert WebbYou claim my edit to the Robert Webb Page is not reflective of relevant or important information. You are wrong. It is an interesting example of the bizarre, inter-locking British Oxbridge education system, provides texture and personal interest to an otherwise dry and dull little wiki page, and tells us more about Webb's character than all this 'he was an usher' nonsense featured on the page. Wikipedia does not need to be as freakishly boring as you seem to be advocating for. As for the 'speculation' accusation -it is clear who Smith is referring to, as there are no other Footlights reps from this era in 90's Cambridge about whom she could be writing - they simply are the only well-known british comedy television double act she could be referring to. Happy Xmas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mansfieldfifteen (talk • contribs) 14:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC) |
