[edit] Santa

Did Maggie not say "Santa" in the episode where Mr.Burns is anxious to "kill off" Abe Simpson and earn himself the paintings?

---

What does this line mean ? "She has spoken only one word in the normal continuity of the series, "Daddy" (voiced by Elizabeth Taylor), and no one heard it, as Homer was somewhat fuming over how Lisa's First Word wasn't "Daddy", but rather "Homer"."

• How did no one hear it when it was voiced ?
• Was Homer fuming after the word was uttered or during when the word was being uttered ?

This is factually incorrect. Here's a transcript from that episode (Lisa's First Word), taken from SNPP

Homer: The sooner kids talk, the sooner they talk back.
        [tucks Maggie in] I hope you never say a word.
        [shuts the door]
Maggie: [taking her pacifier out] Daddy.

Nobody hears Maggie's first word because nobody is in the room - not because Homer is "fuming". Nick04 11:13, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

To add to the above - Maggie is generally acknowledged by the fans to have spoken twice in the normal continuity of the series. Here's the second time she speaks (from 3F01: Home Sweet Home Diddily Dum Doodily)

Maude: Oh, relax, Bart.  Your sister Maggie isn't scared.
Bart: That's because she can't talk.
Maggie: [pulls her pacifier out] Daddily doodily!

Because this doesn't take place during a fantasy sequence, it's accepted this is her second word. I'll correct the article, and add her second word.

Additional - while reading through this I notice a lot is factually incorrect (it is disputed whether her pacifier is voiced by Matt Groening, in any event, it's played by a sampler).

Why does Maggie deserve a whole article? The only interesting thing she ever did was shoot Mr.Burns. Besides that, all she ever does is suck. (literaly)

She is a key character, even if she is in the background a lot! Sonic Mew 13:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How is "Nesthäkchen" Maggie called in English ?

In German, the youngest member of a household is called the "Nesthäkchen" of the family. So in the Simpsons family, Maggie is their "Nesthäkchen". Does anyone know of an English translation -- no, of an English _counterpart_ of the word "Nesthäkchen" ? What do you normally call the youngest member of a family like Maggie Simpson ? Hans Rosenthal (hans.rosenthal AT t-online.de -- replace AT by @ ) PS: I am not looking for a translation like "baby of the family", but for someting like "Oops" or "Oopsie" -- only better than this one.

English doesn't have a word like that---English-speakers just say the "youngest member of the family" (or "youngest child"). :-) Anthony Dean 21:39, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Of course you can be "the baby of the family" well into your forties. Avalon 07:23, 29 June 2006 (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?

I'm not sure that's accurate, Lisa's full name is Lisa Marie Simpson, LMS... - Adolphus79 22:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homer's 'Margaret' forgetfulness

Should the fact that Homer forgets Maggie's actual first name be mentioned? Invisible pyromanic leprechaun 17:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maggie's birth year

This article says that Maggie was born in 1900. Is that supposed to be 1990? There's no citation, or I'd check it myself. --199.218.252.113 21:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maggie's birthday

My son was conceived on 18 November and his due date was 09 August, so it's unlikely that Maggi'es birthday would be around 1 September.

I was born on November 18! - iguananirvana14 20:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Data in characteristics

It says that Maggie has been 1 year old for the past 17 years. Does this really matter? In case it does, it should be added to all of the simpsons characters. just my 2 cents...

[edit] Wikipedia's Simpsons articles

The article asserts:

Making the plaque read "Don't forget her" as opposed to "Don't forget, you're here forever"

under "Early life", with a citation which takes you to the synopsis on the Simpsons.com site, which doesn't include this information (thus, an invalid reference, like most references in Simpsons articles on here). In the show the sign is changed to read "Do it for her" not "Don't forget her" as stated. I just found Wikipedia today and have been reading thru some of the Simpsons articles. I'm taken aback by all the assumptions and innacuracies in these articles - they read like a fourteen year old's recollection of the episodes three months later, not like an accurate resource for Simpsons fans. There is also a shocking amount of speculation and plainly "wrong" data in all these articles. The whole "Simpsons" family of articles needs some serious attention and work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.157.107.144 (talk) 04:30, 20 December 2006 (UTC).

Added { { citecheck } } since the first two citations I checked did not include the information supposedly referenced. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.157.107.144 (talk) 04:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC).

The citations are for the entire paragraph, referencing what happens to Maggie in the whole episode, not just that sentence. And the other three are completely accurate. If you feel you can do a better job on this and other articles, then please be my guest, and do a better job. We welcome any help at all at the Simpsons wikiproject.
