Cultural refereces

I think, that Kent Brockman's coppertone parody in the news background could be mentioned in the cultural references.

Another Cultural Reference is the song Lisa plays on her sax at the end. She plays Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. I put it in a few days ago but someone deleted it. Here is the link to the song on youtube, and you can judge if its the same song. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oBmqsP_9eZo Trailblazers100 (talk) 19:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)Trailblazers100 2:32 p.m. December 30th, 2007[reply]

Youtube is not a valid reference, as any one can put a song calling it what ever they want. You might want to read this. It will help with verifiability of references Ctjf83 ^talk 19:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright so what should I do to make it stay as a cultural reference? because it is the song by Gerry Rafferty. Should I check if it's on Itunes? Trailblazers100 (talk) 19:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)Trailblazers100 2:32 p.m. December 30th, 2007[reply]

No, because people would have to download and listen to the song, to verify it, which would be too much of a pain. You have to look for a valid source, maybe thesimpssons.com, ign.com, fox.com, we have also used the bbc site alot, etc. If one of those sites or a site with reliable information says it, then it can be added Ctjf83 ^talk 19:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I left a message at Trailblazers100 (talk · contribs)'s talk page, with links to some Wikipedia reading material about sourcing. Cirt (talk) 20:10, 30 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Oh, and also, I agree with everything said above by Ctjf83 (talk · contribs). Cirt (talk) 20:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Would this count as being reliable? http://www.snpp.com/guides/lisa-3.html#3.1.13 "What is the name of the song played in (episode)?

Sung by Lisa with Bleeding Gums Murphy in Round Springfield? "Jazzman", originally recorded by singer/songwriter Carole King in 1974, for her album Wrap Around Joy.

At the end of Lisa's Sax? "Baker Street", recorded by Scottish-born singer Gerry Rafferty and found on his album City to City, which topped the US and British album charts in 1978. The memorable saxophone hook was performed by Raphael Ravenscroft. Two cover versions have been released, one by the UK group Undercover (which went to #2 on the UK charts in 1992) and one by the Foo Fighters in 1997.

Fair use rationale for Image:Simpson Lisa's Sax.PNG

Image:Simpson Lisa's Sax.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Done -- Image page has a fair use rationale provided for use specifically in this article. Cirt (talk) 07:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of January 16, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Pass: Fine for most part, although I made one minor edit in the plot section where it said "$6000", where "$6,000" would be better.

2. Factually accurate?: Pass: Article is fully referenced.

3. Broad in coverage?: Pass: Article appears to cover all subjects possible.

4. Neutral point of view?: Pass: No real sign of bias. There were no negative opinions about the show that I could see in the article, but if there are then it would probably be good to include them.

5. Article stability? Pass: Not much in the way of edit wars, but of what there is appears to be dealt with in the proper way.

6. Images?: Pass: Not free-use, but fair-use images do include fair-use rational.

If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.— ISD (talk) 13:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

she is a cute buddist don't you think(yes,she is a buddist)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.9.248.89 (talk) 01:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Music

Who composed the music for the episode? Anyone know the name of the songs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.215.33.243 (talk) 20:42, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1992?

At first, I could've sworn this was an episode from 1992 or around that era. After looking at the 9th season DVD set, apparently this was from 1997. But what episode could I have mistaken this for...? ChrisRJ (talk) 18:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
