While [[Season 6]] has more votes, consensus is that we should hold off until it starts. Instead; "''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''" is the [[Infosphere:Featured article for fortnight 13 of 2010|featured article for fortnight 13 (and week 24) of 2010]]. Fortnight 14 starts on the 5th of July. Please cast your vote and if you've found a hidden gem or two, add some new articles to the nomination pool for a possible feature, there's only a few articles left in the nomination pool. Yeah, we missed fortnight 12... - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 15:53, 13 June 2010 (CEST)

I find this article to be very decent and highly en par with a good Wikipedia article.  Unfortunately, it has some bad areas here and there, with sentences and information cluttered together over time, so the sentence structure becomes odd or off when read from a fresh start.  I assume that through some tweaking, the article will become even better than good. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 17:57, 28 February 2010 (CET)

:Since our current policies only allow for an article to be featured once, I think we would do this article more favours by waiting till the season have actually hit the airwaves.  We will have more content by then and we will be able to reflect more accurately on the content.  It will no doubt be a much better article when featured if we wait. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:14, 14 March 2010 (CET)

Comments

The article is relatively thorough but can still be improved. One plus would be an image gallery (many images are already available on the Infosphere but not in that article) and a summary of its history (i. e. the Bender's Game plot). Aki 18:22, 1 March 2011 (CET)
