Episode Pages

Last year, I think it was last year, I found articles for the episodes like for the Family Guy and The Simpsons episode articles, describing the plot and giving trivia and notes for each episode, and now it has been deleted. I would like to put those articles back up. I will start but I will need help from all of you other users. User: EuroJordan 16:40 6 November, 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 22:40, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject SpongeBob SquarePants has specifically asked that episode articles not be created. This is due to the fact that most of the episodes do not pass the notability guidelines for fiction. The articles were also in very bad shape because IP's continually added useless trivia and links to watch the episodes on YouTube. I would not recommend creating them at this time. NF24_{Editor review)} 23:01, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, references, production details, and reception information are needed for the episodes to have their own articles and trivia is recommended to be avoided on Misplaced Pages. Go to WP:SBSP to see what you can do to help improve the episode articles. The SpongeBob wiki contains all the plot/trivia/quotes you were referring too. -AMK152 23:41, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

8 New Episode Titles

• SpongeHenge
• To Save a Squirrel
• The Inmates of Summer
• 20,000 Patties Under the Sea
• Stanley S. SquarePants
• The Battle of Bikini Bottom
• Banned in Bikini Bottom
  • Krabby Patties are banned from Bikini Bottom after SpongeBob's musical tribute irritates Miss Priss.
• The Two Faces of Squidward
  • Everyone falls for Squidward after plastic surgery makes him irresistibly handsome.

I will add any descriptions that come up later on. All of them will air along the Nick's Super Stuffed Weekend on November 23rd. Setherex 03:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Sources? Otherwise the IP's will go crazy adding them. NF24_{Editor review)} 11:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Added two episode descriptions. It's not a source, but the guide on me and my friends' television. I believe that if two different broadcasting systems say it, it's good enough. You may want to search the Nick.com television listings. Setherex 17:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Come on

Let people edit the episode page, who is going to vandalize it? The seasons are split into pages now, so who will? And can you lat people edit the main page now to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.124.218 (talk) 03:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

More Peer Review

The shorts section... should it have a problem with Misplaced Pages:Avoid weasel words? 65.43.182.46 11:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Kinz

Erm...what shorts section? Do you mean the lead on List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes? NF24_{Editor review)} 12:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes... I mean that shorts section. -- 65.43.182.46 (talk) 20:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Kinz

Okay, then. Weasel words are things like "some people say" or "a widely held viewpoint" or "it has been said" without citations. The lead currently doesn't contain weasel words. NF24_{Editor review)} 22:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh... Okay then. 65.43.182.46 (talk) 00:17, 17 November 2007 (UTC)Kinz It does not have a problem with Misplaced Pages:Avoid weasel words. 65.43.182.46 (talk) 00:19, 17 November 2007 (UTC)Kinz

Mixed up episodes

The new episodes are mixed up. I know I saw The Two Faces of Squidward along with the episode SpongeHenge. It aired yesterday. 65.43.182.46 (talk) 15:35, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Kinz

Has work finished now?

Surely you have completed work on the episodes? When will you complete the episodes articles? (Clawsofmidnight (talk) 18:14, 25 November 2007 (UTC))

It unfortunately appears that they will never come back. Most of the episodes fail the notability guidelines for fiction and the project to revive the articles has gone stale. Besides, the SpongeBob SquarePants Wikia has a detailed episode guide. NF24 18:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

There is no article for the first episode which is called Help Wanted. 65.43.178.61 (talk) 23:26, 26 November 2007 (UTC)Kinz I disagree with that totally. Spongebob is a popular TV show, and therefore should have its episode articles back. If it doesn't, then the List of Spongebob episodes article should not belong on wikipedia. (Clawsofmidnight (talk) 18:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC))

Deleted Episode?

Who deleted the episode called "Christmas Who?"? It's back already though. 65.43.182.46 (talk) 23:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Kinz

Misspelling

On the summary for Night Light, boogeyman is spelled bogeyman. Will someone correct the spelling mistake? 65.43.178.61 (talk) 23:24, 26 November 2007 (UTC)Kinz

I would if i could, but at the moment, it is been unprotected. (172.212.220.235 (talk) 18:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC))

Y Done - "Bogeyman" sounds like a golfer's nightmare. In the future, please raise any issues pertaining to specific season articles on that article's talkpage - if a user who is not SpongeBob-savvy came round, they wouldn't know what you were talking about. NF24 21:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Great! 66.72.204.235 (talk) 20:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Kinz

Title Cards

Can we at least get the title card pics back, I like to see them. Jibajabba 20:00, 28 Novenmber 2007 (UTC)

I think they were deleted for a reason. I don't think they will bring them back. I like the title card pics as well, and the article does need a picture to improve it. (Clawsofmidnight (talk) 18:41, 29 November 2007 (UTC))

I believe you attempted to upload the pictures, Jibajabba, a while back, but they were deleted because they didn't have fair use rationales, IIRC. If you're willing to upload 100 pictures and write 100 fair use rationales, then no one's stopping you from doing so. NF24 20:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't want to take the time. Jibajabba 20:14, 30 November 2007 (UTC) Come on, can you do ten in one day? 66.72.204.235 (talk) 20:01, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Kinz

Title cards can be found here. The title cards were removed from the episode page because there was too many fair use images on one article. The images were removed and reverted 3 times. -AMK152 23:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Season 6?

Pardon me, I'm a newb. XP Where was the announcement for season 6? Also, anyone else think it's odd that it will only contain 13 episodes? It isn't a big deal, I guess, but the other seasons so far have all had 20. --Alice2 04:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

In the article it says only 13 episodes have been announced. There might be more. Also, a link to where it was announced can be found at the bottom of the article. (Clawsofmidnight (talk) 17:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC))

Alright, thanks. --63.246.240.181 (talk) 19:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Everythings Cool

Everything is all right now. The only problem is someone needs to put a summary on Le Big Switch. I can't do it because I haven't seen it. Jibajabba 16:06 9 December —Preceding comment was added at 23:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC) Done - It has been there. 66.72.204.235 (talk) 22:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Kinz

Episode Articles

Can't we stay without the episode articles? 66.72.204.235 (talk) 23:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Kinz

What do you mean? -AMK152 23:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

no —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.24.105 (talk) 01:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Article Deleted..

A no good-doer deleted the article stating "He ate it".. you may want to check it out.KIRBYGUY1 (talk) 21:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean? -AMK152 23:34, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Banned in Bikini Bottom

In the summary, it says the lady bans Krabby patties because they are fun and delicious. That does not make sense! can someone fix it? (Gotiger13 (talk) 21:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC))

Well, that is actually why the Patties got "banned". It doesn't matter whether it makes sense, it happened in the episode. SpongeBob in general doesn't make sense at times. NF24 22:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Title Cards

I knew they were never coming back. But why? They were good, and the knew ones are NEVER COMING. So put them back now, and I mean it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Im A Shark (talk • contribs) 17:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

They were deleted because they didn't have fair use rationales. So they are not coming back. So is this clear enough? THEY ARE NEVER COMING BACK, unless Im A shark, you write 100 fair use rationales. And also i would watch yourself, you could get blocked if you carry on with your personal attacks.(172.203.236.178 (talk) 18:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC))

We are all on an equal standing. "I mean it" will get you nothing except a block for violating WP:CIVIL. 172 is right - if you want to do it all yourself, no one's stopping you, but you can't coerce other people into doing things for you. Especially since neither me nor anyone else who is an article "regular" wants to upload all those images. NF24 21:23, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Pest in the West

A recent commercial has begun appearing on Nickelodeon promoting their new events for 2008. Along with several other specials / shows, a "Wild West" version of SpongeBob is shown called "Pest in the West". Should we add some note of this? Setherex (talk) 19:09, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't add it unless you can find a source. Unfortunately, "I saw it on TV" is not a source; it actually violates WP:NOR. Try Animation Insider, TV.com, or TV Guide; even being listed at one of these sources is acceptable because it confirms the title. NF24 21:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

A little suggestion

This is just a suggestion, but how about this article be merged into Spongebob Squarepants article? what do u think? (Gotiger13 (talk) 09:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC))

Nope. It would make an already long article even longer. NF24 13:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

So? making it longer is good! y'see, if this was merged into the Spongebob Squarepants article, it would be better. You might disagree, but other people will agree. (Gotiger13 (talk) 15:04, 16 December 2007 (UTC))

To the contrary - longer articles are harder to edit and cause problems on older computers. Still, we'll see if others agree. NF24 16:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Nope. A straight disagreeing from me. I mean look at SpongeBob SquarePants article. It's already as long as hell and with mostly nothing productive and with 9 refs for 42 kb of prose. Adding the ENTIRE list is gonna make the article even more of an eye sore. (SUDUSER)₈₅ 06:47, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

No it won't. It will improve the Spongebob Squarepants article a lot. I think that this article should be in the Spongebob Squarepants article. (Gotiger13 (talk) 07:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC))

I agree with Gotiger13. It would be best for this article. As for people saying Spongebob Squarepants is as long as hell, go and look at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and say that again.

Gotiger 13, i agree with you! (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 17:11, 17 December 2007 (UTC))

Pointing out other articles is not a valid defense. NewYork483 (talk) 03:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't agree with this. I think we should just have the small link in there as usual. (PhilipB (talk) 17:06, 17 December 2007 (GMT)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.175.45 (talk)

Look at other TV show articles like The Simpsons and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series); all these articles have seperate episode lists - so that's the norm; Find me one TV show article that does what you are suggesting! (SUDUSER)₈₅ 13:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Merging with the main article is a very bad idea. -AMK152 22:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Merging the list of episodes into the show is a bad idea. the show has five seasons worth of episodes, each at least somewhat notable and they could not all be summarized in the show's page. Frank Anchor, U. S. American (talk) 04:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I have a better idea! Add links to the Seasons in the Spongebob Squarepants article! (Gotiger13 (talk) 14:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

That is a worser idea. And i cannot disagree with you SUDUSER i have looked through some of those articles and it seems that you are right. So now i think it is best to keep it how it is for now. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

I really do agree with everything that people have said. I think that the List of spongebob Squarepants episodes should stay how they are. (Sazuref (talk) 16:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

Welcome to wikipedia, Sazuref. But can i point out something? your spelling is bad, and i really does agree does not make sense. I corrected your spelling. Please watch in the future. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 16:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

I am very sory Shadowmoon13, but i am not got at Spaelling at all. (Sazuref (talk) 16:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

I can see that. Just try to improve. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 16:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

Besides The Greeting & Spelling To Sazuref. I Disagree It's Not Very Huge Article Like The Spongebob Squarepants One. It's Just A Little Shorter.CartoonSpot121 (talk) 02:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I have a good idea! Delete the whole article! it sucks! (Gralou (talk) 12:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC))
