[edit] When is she born?

In the episode, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bangalore Homer is not sure of when she is born. She says May!

She also said in an earlier episode her birthstone would have been emerald if she was born three months later. Emerald is the birthstone of May. If that's true, she was born in February.

[edit] Sisters

"her sisters include"? Thought she only had the two.

[edit] Age

Some Enchanted Evening that she's 34. - Kaizersoze 18:37, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

In the book, The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family, it refers to her as 36. - Leonardo2505

In the episode, "Regarding Margie", Homer says he and Marge are the same age.

Umm... In the arcade game from years ago it said she was 36 as well.

[edit] Blue hair

I always thought that Marge's hair had turned blue after exposure to radiation from some sort of nuclear accident. No?

I believe there was an episode, in which Homer gossips to his class and friends about their family, and that included Marge dyeing her hair. (After searching), I found the episode. 1F20 Secrets of a Successful Marriage -- Win777 20:24, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Middle Initial

It was mentioned by Matt Groening in an issue of Simpsons Comics that the Simpson family's middle names all begin with J. Should this be added or not, considering it is never mentioned in an episode?

But Lisa's middle name is Marie (with a M), maybe it's only the Simpson men. Maggie's middle name is also not known, although both Marge and Maggie's middle name could be Jacqueline after their mother and grandmother.

It's not just Simpson men. Mona Simpson's middle name begins with J.

[edit] Two more characteristics

Not sure where to place them in the article: a) she has webbed toes; b) she finds having her elbow nibbled a turn-on. 195.92.67.68 12:19, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sesame Street?

Why is this in the category: Celebertys who have apeared on Sesame Street? Deathawk 22:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Because they have been on sesame street..?--NorwegianMarcus 11:27, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feminist?

I noticed that she is categorized in Category:Fictional feminists. While I'd definitely consider Lisa to be a feminist, I'm not so sure Marge is one.--Fallout boy 10:28, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree, Marge could actually be described as a complete 180o from a feminist, remember her reaction to Malibu Stacy's sexist recordings, but then again we can see her as quite the feminist in The Way We Was, when she actually burned her bra. - Leonardo2505.

It seems like she was a feminist in her younger days, but now she seems the very opposite.

[edit] a little messy

The article is a bit messy and needs headlines. I suggest (i've translated this into norwegian and have these headlines: Family, Age, Jobes, etc. Do you agree that it needs these headlines?!??... --NorwegianMarcus 11:30, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3rd Generation?

I could swear Marge bragged to the Burlesque House woman that she was '3rd-generation Springfieldian' but in the Jebediah-Springfield-Was-a-Fraud episode, she told Lisa her parents moved to Springfield, having the choice of Stenchburg instead... Hrmm..

[edit] The Maxim cover

Does anyone have the issue of Maxim with Marge on the cover? That would be a nice touch to the article. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 16:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it would only be fair use in an article about Maxim, not one about Marge. - CrazyRussian talk/email 01:35, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure about that. If it was used to discuss her appearing on the cover, I think it is ok. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 02:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] german voice is dead(FYI)

de:Elisabeth Volkmann was the german voice of Marge since Season 1. Very good. Sound like the original voice.--LaWa 01:48, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Picture

I hope this new picture is satisfactory, the other one was stretched and distorted. I hope the new one reflects Wikipedia's standards

I think one with her hair upward would be better.Cris Spiegel 11:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Picture

I think we should have a recent picture of Marge, one that shows her current age, not when she was younger. Since when she is shown in the show for the most part, she is older. If anyone can find a different picture, that would help. Brainboy109 5:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Marge's hair is pretty much her trademark. Not having the picture include her present hair state is misleading and pretty much just silly. Perhaps we could have the main picture be of herat present, and then move the younger picture down a bit. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.141.194.3 (talk • contribs).

Found one in the stack of images already uploaded here: [1] --T-dot 15:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't have time right now. Can anyone increase the contrast to get the image closer to accurate? It's a little washed out right now. TheHYPO 12:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Umm, she hasn't aged. She's still the same. Lisa, Bart, and an excellent example Maggie. Why discuss adding a "new image"

Nevermind that, I just checked the history of this page and I agree. --Yancyfry jr 21:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marge's middle name is Alexa???

Can sombody prove that Alexa is her middle name? -14:00, August 26, 2006

[edit] Her age

although it says she is 34 on the article, shouldnt she be the same age as homer as they graduated from highschool together? also homer i thought was 38, as the episode where homer discovers he will die at the age of 40 after taking a magazine quiz, marge corrects him, (he thinks he is 37) and she points out that he is 38, giving him only 2 years to live.
