Abe Simpson
[edit]Guys, can we all agree that we need more info about Abe Simpson/Grampa? Theeeggplant (talk) 02:04, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- I can agree that we need more WP:DUE, reliably sourced, non-WP:OR info on Abe Simpson if it exists. BE BOLD! Pistongrinder (talk) 20:21, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Neurodiversity
[edit]Suggestion to add to the section "Themes":
The series has also used questions of intelligence, behavioural difference and diagnosis as subjects of satire. In the episode "Brother's Little Helper", Bart is diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and prescribed an experimental drug, allowing the episode to parody educational and parental responses to disruptive behaviour. Later episodes have also explored the social position of highly intelligent or socially awkward characters, including Professor Frink and Bart's underestimated abilities in "Bart 'N' Frink". Such portrayals are usually presented through comedy rather than as sustained clinical character studies. ~2026-30835-76 (talk) 06:18, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
Can you make Come Play? 2020 ~2026-38300-48 (talk) 14:09, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
I am reviewing this article as part of WP:URFA/2020, an initiative to review Wikipedia's oldest featured articles. After skimming through the article, I noticed the following:
- The "Renewals" section has an orange "expansion needed" banner from September 2025. Is this still valid?
- At over 11,500 words, this article is considered WP:TOOBIG. There are several sections that are quite large that might benefit from spinning out or trimming excessive information.
- There are incited statements in the article. While some are covered by MOS:PLOT, others need citations to reliable sources. I can add "citation needed" templates if pinged.
- There are a lot of sources listed in "Further reading", indicating that there is more to add or sources that can be replaced with higher-quality ones. In addition, there are sources used that are unreliable such as Twitter/X or IMDB, which should be replaced.
I am adding this article to WP:FARGIVEN. Are any editors interested in resolving the above concerns? Z1720 (talk) 14:26, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
Crossovers?
[edit]Are more Simpsons crossovers relevant enough to be added here, or perhaps all on a new list article of Simpsons crossovers? I ask because I know in the 800th episode, there is a brief The Pitt cameo, and I think recently Rick and Morty made one as well. There are probably more. The article mentions only four crossovers. I haven't seen The Simpsons, so I really don't know anything about it: I would like to know if my idea deserves weight or not. MJFake (talk) 23:59, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
