[edit] Spelling

Tamzarian or Tanzarian? I've always understood it as the former. There's also more hits (last name only) on the former (c. 28,000) than the latter (c. 10,000) on Google. (While SES' principal, or entities related to such (ie user names based on his birth name) are at the top of the list in both searches, I believe it is a common Armenian name, just unsure to spelling. --Canuckguy 23:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

It's Tamzarian, at least according to http://www.thesimpsons.com/episode_guide/0902.htm and http://www.snpp.com/episodes/4F23. 64.231.15.109 00:05, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

That first link says that it's Tamzarian, but the second link says that it is Tanzarian. I've watched the episode and I'm pretty sure they say "Tanzarian" (with an N). --Hnsampat 16:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Then again, that first link is to the official Simpsons website, so I guess we go with that. --Hnsampat 16:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, I am glad to see some users have changed the first name to "Armen" which is the correct Armenian first name (as opposed to "Armin"). I'm Armenian and my uncle bears this name with that spelling. I've never seen it spelled any other way.

[edit] About his age

The article currently states his age was referred to twice. I am not aware of Kent Brockman ever referring to his age, but I know Superintendent Chalmers says he is 44, in "Grade School Confidential." http://www.snpp.com/episodes/4F09 Has Chalmers been confused with Brockman, or is this a third instance of a reference to his age?

[edit] Cleanup

Anyone else think this is a messy article? --711groove 06:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relationship with Edna

Anyone think there should be a few lines about his only form of love life. His relationship with Edna?

[edit] Despite the Armenianesque surname...

What makes him Armenian like this article suggests? Should we also say he's Jewish then because of his first name?--Greasysteve13 09:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Isn't Seymour Skinner a play on words...like "see more skin-ner". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.175.23.73 (talk) 04:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Seymour Skinner

This article is about Armen Tamzarian rather than Seymour Skinner. Shouldn't Skinner have an article as well?ufossuck 03:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
