Untitled

Does anyone know what the song that was playing in the background when Lisa was doing her dragon levitation at the magic recital?! The song is a classic piece that is playing on alot of tv shows.. specially when they are doing some fast action stunts or what not. The Today Show (NBC) had it played in the background a few times during some of thier running stunts! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.130.233.48 (talk • contribs)

Same question for me, just watched a re run and its too funny, like the song in The Benny Hill Show --ometzit<col> 02:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The last edit added "When did that happen?" to the article; I checked, and it happens about 3 minutes and 40 seconds into the segment, at which point homer says "When did that happen?". Kaenneth 08:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leprechaun

Is the leprechaun the same one that tells Ralph to burn things? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.136.161 (talk) 11:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Music

I dont know why in SNPP carsule this is not mentioned, but music in Lisa's trick is the Sabre Dance. Anyone can check it. --Luch4 (talk) 09:58, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: Ruby2010 talk 03:08, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will review sometime in the next few days. Ruby2010 talk 03:08, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

Images look good, and the non-free image checks out.

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Just a few minor fixes:

Outside Mr. Burns' manor, Smithers is standing on a ladder, tries to put up a small orange bat decoration on a weather vane, when he slips on the ladder. Sentence doesn't quite make sense, fix.
- Changed the sentence to "Outside Mr. Burns' manor, Smithers is standing on a ladder, trying to put up a small orange bat decoration on a weather vane." and implemented the rest of the original sentence in the next: "He slips on the ladder, grabs on an electric cord... etc".Queenieacoustic (talk) 18:20, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Feeling bad that she has to toss out the Ultrahouse, Marge gives the CPU to her sisters Patty and Selma, which tries to kill itself after hearing Patty's stories about her day at the DMV. Make it more clear that the CPU tries to kill itself.
- Changed it to "Feeling bad that she has to toss out the Ultrahouse, Marge gives the CPU to her sisters Patty and Selma, whose mundane stories drives the CPU to kill itself".Queenieacoustic (talk) 18:20, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was a pleasure to read this article. Just make those two minor fixes above, and I will be happy to pass it for GA. I'll put it on hold for seven days, though I'm sure it will be fixed much sooner. Good work, Ruby2010 talk 17:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and thanks for taking your time to read the article! I hope the changes I made were for the better and will convince you to pass the article. If not, just tell me what you want changed and I'll get right to it. Au revoir! Queenieacoustic (talk) 18:20, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great. Passed for GA. Nice work, Ruby2010 talk 18:43, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
