This article does not cite its sources. I am interested in the Alan Moore guest spot, though.
It's been sourced. Also, was this epsiode originally part of season 18? 71.127.212.40 00:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
The refernce in Alan Moore tells you more about his guest spot (even though it thinks that "Constantine" was the name of a comic book): [1]. —Toby Bartels 09:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
A citation request has been made in regards to Art Spiegelman's mask, however the source is stated in the article: Maus. Since the source is his book, which is mentioned, need it be cited too? Destroda (talk) 22:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Did anyone catch the ending credits? Anyone know who sang the Korean version of "What’s New, Pussycat?"? 75.18.118.67 (talk) 04:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Numerous lines from the cultural references section are being removed due to lack of citation/sourcing. While it may be a Wikipedia policy to source claims, it is simply not possible in this case, and the reasons why I believe that it's not needed:

Both of you, take a break, have a cup of tea and stop the name-calling - It's not very productive. WP:V does in fact require all challenged material to be sourced. henrik•talk 17:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi all,
I'm here from WP:3O per Tunis' request here. I've reviewed the discussion above as well as relevant policy and have the following comments to make:
Ctjf83 and henrik are correct. Per Wikipedia's guidelines to verifiability, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation" (empasis in the original). Although even without a citation most reasonable people would indeed be able to see that, for example, Husbands and Knives is a play on Husbands and Wives, the fact is that putting this into the article without a third-party citation qualifies as a synthesis of two apparent facts, which is prohibited as original research.
With regard to the larger question of inclusion, neither the manual of style nor the Simpsons article style guide explicitely allow cultural references or other trivia sections; in fact, trivia lists are generally discouraged on Wikipedia (see WP:TRIVIA for the manual of style's position).
That being said, the fact is that lists of cultural references do indeed appear on Wikipedia. Some prominent examples include (in addition to nearly every other Simpsons/Futurama/Family Guy/etc. episode article) List of cultural references in The Cantos and Cultural references to the novel The Catcher in the Rye. In fact, the phenomenon is so widespread that it could be interpreted as constituting de facto consensus on the use of these lists despite the fact that they are discouraged per the guidelines cited above.
So my suggestion? Other than chilling out and cutting down on the name-calling, I suggest that the lines removed remain removed and that the existing lines be tagged with ((fact)) templates to indicate a lack of in-line citation. While I don't think these cultural references are doing any harm by being here, Wikipedia guidelines and policies are fairly clear on the matter. Although my suggestion on removal of content extends to other items removed in the future, I suggest that both parties refrain from blanket removal/restoration of content and strive to be a bit more harmonious in dealing with this matter. --jonny-mt(t)(c)Tell me what you think! 01:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I would like some clarification on why a certain cultural reference was deleted. I know there have been many discussion about what to include, but I am going to put another one out there. The following was recently deleted-
There have been a lot of talk about "references" and "mentions", an I don't know if that had anything to do with it. The issue of sources have also come up, but there are a lot more CR with no sources that are still there. The parody really is obvious. I know that is not a good means for it to be kept, but if there was any confusion whether it really was a reference to that, it is, the resemblance is uncanny. I know it sounds like I am making a big deal out of it, but if someone could say why it was deleted it would be great. 76.189.120.48 (talk) 17:18, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Don't know if this is even worth mentioning, but I noticed that they had the DC logo and used the real names of the DC super heroes like Superman, Batman, Aquaman etc.
But in a later segment they had the Marvel Characters Hulk & Thing as Mulk & Thung.
What is the status of Milo and Coolsville after the episode? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaizenyorii (talk • contribs) 10:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
All of the images in this article relate more to the comic book store portion of the plot. I think the lead image should be more about the gym than the store here. ViperSnake151 Talk 13:58, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
