This article is a mess, full of inaccuracies and missed information. I'll tidy it when I've got the energy.... Martyn Smith 18:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jaylord????

24.161.100.215 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log) made an edit changing "Waylon J. Smithers Jr." to "Waylon Jaylord Smithers Jr." and this was unnoticed for over a month until I reverted it. Obviously the "jaylord" is vandalism. I also took off the "jr.", as the Simpsons website lists him only as "Waylon Smithers." I'll delete all the J's and Juniors's until someone can find an official source using that title.

The jr. obviously comes from his father's name being also Walyon Smithers. Zé da Silva 17:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

ya but if his father is dead than he isn't a jr anymore hes the ONLY waylon smithers

Your still a Jr. or III or IV wether the number before you is alive or not. if his father's name is Waylon Smithers then his son is Waylon Smithers Jr. assuming they have the same middle name also Trey 06:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AT or ATO?

Nitpicking here perhaps but this wikipedia article says that Smithers is a alum of Alpha Tau Omega. While on the list of Fictional fraternities and sororities he is listed as being a member of Alpha Tau. While there are many character bios of Smithers that say he was in a fraternity i can find none that list the name of the fraternity. Since i know that usually becuase of licensing rights most fictional characters are usually made to be members of fictional fraternities and every other greek organazation listed in the Simpsons are fictional i'm inclined to belive that this article is wrong and he is a Alpha Tau and the editior simply assumed Alpha Tau Omega. So for now I'm removing the ATO link and will re-write to indicate that he is simply a alum of a Greek organazation. However, hopefully someone can dig up a reference on the name of the Fraternity i think it's an intresting peice of trivia.Trey 17:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I have no Idea what you are talking about. Care to explain? Emi211Emi211 06:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

in the personal life section of this article it has Smithers listed as a member of Alpha Tau Omega a national men's college social fraternity. In another article listed on wikipedia Fictional fraternities and sororities it has Smithers listed as a member of Alpha Tau, which doe not exist in real life. I was wondering which it was, if either, and if anyone had a reference to prove it. Untill this is resolved i removed the info from the article. The Sentence now currently reads He is an alumnus of a college Fraternity second line of the personal life section. does that clear it up?Trey 16:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Why was he black in the skin with blue coloured hair? Why is he not a black man now! Did he turn yellow when he started falling in love with his boss? Dying to find out, good day.
