Is the beauty pagaent really a reference to them? Or just a jab at children's beauty pagaents in general? —Preceding

It is just a jab at them in general. I will make ammendments immediately.
I concur, it is just a swipe at beauty pagents. Not a reference to little miss sunshine.--

List of celebs
A simple list of celebs is trivia/plot reiteration. Is there no review online yet for it other than IGN?

I agree. A list of the dead celebrities on the plane would be good for the page. —Preceding

I think you would actually disagree with the OP ...it is indeed trivia when presented as a simple list, because the list has no content. It needs to be worked in with a "reception" section of sorts. -

I disagree. The whole leitmotiv of the episode is centered around the celebrities. While in other cases a listing might not be awarded enough relevance to make it to the article, I believe that in this case a simple list, linking the celebs names to each respective Wikipedia article, just like what was posted, is completely pertinent.

If a part of the plot is notable enough to have it's own section, it will likely be included in a critical review. In which case, it would form part of the cultural references.
Alastairward (

The list is clearly Trivia, and some of these alleged people on the list may come close to
WP:NOR. I think it would be better to edit the list and move it to the plot, in order to simply mention some of the celebrities Ike sees, limiting it to ones who are either named or have dialogue. Something like "Ike has been seeing ghosts of recently deceased celebrities, such as Farrah Fawcett, David Carradine, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon and Walter Cronkite......The celebrities reveal they're trapped in Purgatory because Michael Jackson refuses to accept his death." And that's it. The rest don't have to be mentioned.

Tow gate
Sorry, but I don't understand what a 'tow gate' is. the like to airport gates doesn't help. —Preceding

It's a gate at an airport to which a large plane cannot taxi itself. A special vehicle has to tow the plane (after it has powered down after landing) to the gate because if the pilot steered there himself, the force from the engines would disrupt and pose a threat to whatever or whoever might be on the tarmac in the area. You're right about the disamb link not providing any information. It would also be difficult to re-word the plot summary to explain this, because in the show it was used metaphorically (to imply that the "passengers" would have to wait even longer before they can arrive in Hell; towing a plane to a gate can - depending on the circumstances - take a long time). Anyone have any ideas on how to handle this? - SoSaysChappy(talk) 00:41, 11 November 2009 (UTC)reply

in a previous edition of this article, i had read quotes from chipotle.....they were playful and amusing...something like "we appreciate south park's episode, but we can assure everyone that there is no evidence that chipotle causes anal leakage"......but now this note is gone.....is there a reason it was deleted? thanks

I haven't found any such quote in the edit history for this article. I don't recall it ever being there. If you can find it in the history, maybe we can figure out why it was removed, if it was. — HunterKahn 18:09, 20 June 2010 (UTC)reply
There are a couple of issues I'd like to see fixed before I pass this article:
The third paragraph of the lead section uses the words 'some proponents'. I would classify this as a weasel word and would recommend that you
avoid it.
Changed that (and the later reference) to "critics". Is that better? — HunterKahn 15:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)reply
Unfortunately, no.
Weasel word states that 'critics' is a weasel word :( It says to specify exactly which critics say that particular thing (i.e. 'Critics claim' would change to 'Jane Doe of the Iqaluit Herald commented...'.

I just removed the part with the weasel word altogether. — HunterKahn 16:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)reply
The plot isn't referenced. Not sure if this is an issue.
According to
WP:TVMOS, it doesn't have to be. It says, "Plot summaries do not normally require citations; the television show itself is the source, as the accuracy of the plot description can be verified by watching the episode in question."
The 'production' section is a little short. In other articles (such as
Pee (South Park)) the production section is a lot longer.
Yeah, unfortunately, I find sometimes there is lots of production info available for a television episode and sometimes there is very little. Conversely, this article had lots of info on the theme, whereas others have little of that. I combined the "Production" and "Theme" sections into one section, which GAN reviews have sometimes suggested in the past to fix this. Does that address it? — HunterKahn 15:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)reply
The link for TV-MA L leads to two different locations (first in the lead and secondly in the production section). I think these should be made consistent.
