Untitled[edit]

What is the name of the song that plays when Wendy is reflecting on losing Stan, and you see the flashbacks and projectile vomiting?

Merge proposal[edit]

Does this article pass the notability test? Alastairward (talk) 20:52, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

:No it doesnt. Merge per WP:V: "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found featuring significant coverage of a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." Change opinion on this article - Tom's Rhinoplasty appears to have been subject of a number of scholarly reviews on LGBT studies, although I cannot access the pieces themselves. -- The Red Pen of Doom 05:50, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See This page to discuss about the merger. --Gman124 talk 16:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Appears", but unless we know that these multiple studies do more than "passingly mention" the episode, we cannot know for sure.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 06:06, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Tom's Rhinoplasty[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tom's Rhinoplasty's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "EpGuide":

  • From Damien (South Park): Stall, Sam (2009). The South Park Episode Guide: Volume 1, Seasons 1-5. New York City, New York: Running Press. p. 29. ISBN 0762435615.
  • From Starvin' Marvin (South Park): Stall, Sam (2009). The South Park Episode Guide: Volume 1, Seasons 1-5. New York City, New York: Running Press. p. 25. ISBN 0762435615.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 04:44, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Tom's Rhinoplasty/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: The Flash {talk} 01:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yello! Saw this at GAN and I'd love to assist WP:SP on their FT project, so I'll be reviewing this article. Looks good but I do have a number of small concerns. Check out Talk:I Married Marge/GA1 for my structural system in reviews, and let's get started. The Flash {talk} 01:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • Can you come up with a better adjective then "insanely"?
  • "'Tom's Rhinoplasty', the show's first Valentine's Day epiosde,[...]" -> typo
  • Forgot to add a quotation marker after "Species."
  • "Wrapped" seems a bit slang-ish, am I wrong? Perhaps, "concluded"?

Plot summary[edit]

  • Who does Wendy suggest ideas to? Stan?
  • Wikilink to Kenny's page.
  • "Concurrently, a large group of women rampages the streets[...]" -> "[...]group of women rampage[...]"
  • Combine the second and third sentences in the third paragraph, please.
  • "She also thanks Mrs. Kimball (one of the women from the group of women that chased Garrison)[...]" -> "She also thanks one of the women from the group that chased Garrison named Mrs. Kimball"
  • I'm a bit confused—by "figures out what actually happened" do you mean that Wendy framed Ms. Ellen and caused her death by Iraqis? If so, it needs to be clarified.
    • Let me know if that is clearer. — Hunter Kahn 02:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Production[edit]

  • It mentions Parker directed, too, but the infobox and the lead mention that the director was uncredited.
  • "[...]but Comedy Central censors made them change the line.[...]" -> "made Parker and Stone"
  • Is that bit about the Postal controversy actually a "production" note?
  • "[...]in the background that looks exactly Craig Tucker[...]" -> "looks exactly like Craig Tucker"
  • I think some of the bits about Wendy saying "fuck" for the first time and things like it should be moved in the "Cultural references" section, though that should be renamed "Cultural references and impact"
    • Moved that bit and renamed the section. If you think other stuff should be moved to, let me know what. — Hunter Kahn 02:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The idea featured in the script of Ms. Ellen taking one of the children to dinner for passing[...]" -> awkwardly worded there, don't you think?
  • Maybe you should move their surprise about fan reaction to the "Reception" section?

Theme[edit]

  • There's no mention in the plot about Garrison being a model.
    • I changed the Plot summary part a bit to address it. — Hunter Kahn 02:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nothing else here, but maybe you can expand it with some of the bits at "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" and "Weight Gain 4000"?
    • I added a bit. Is this what you meant? — Hunter Kahn 02:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural references[edit]

  • You should rename the section to "Cultural references and impact"
  • The first paragraph should be broke up a bit.
  • OK. — Hunter Kahn 02:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delink to Hasselholf (already linked above)
  • "When Ms. Ellen asks the class the last lesson[...]" -> "asks the class about the last lesson"

Reception[edit]

  • Rename "Reception and release" (?)
  • "[...]in a three-DVD in November 1998." -> "in a three-disc DVD" perhaps?
    • Changes to "three-disc DVD set". — Hunter Kahn 02:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

  • All 3 images are fine; the infobox image has a very weak rationale though, so can you beef it up at all? Just a passing mention of the animation process would even be suitable.
  • Can you change the caption for the infobox image? It's rather....lackluster, ya know?
    • I think the new caption addresses both these concerns. — Hunter Kahn 02:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Final say[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    There's still an awkward and abrupt transition between "Wendy reclaims Stan as her boyfriend" and "Wendy speaks with the Iraqi men in fluent Arabic and pays them with a wad of American money."
    • I think I fixed it now. — Hunter Kahn 01:01, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    IMDb link in Ref 19 is throwing it all off; I'd suggest removing the link entirely.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. 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):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    Needs those two things fixed, but other then that looking great. Fix those and I'll pass this. Cheers, The Flash {talk} 23:58, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone ahead and passed it. Great work, The Flash {talk} 01:15, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
