[edit] Crazy Bus
Why does a search for "Crazy Bus" redirect here if Crazy Bus is mentioned nowhere on the page?
[edit] Languages
Don't you think that the show should have articles in other languages? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.168.194.22 (talk) 07:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
It really isn't made in other languages, therefore I'm not too sure. But... be bold. Basketball110 02:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Arthur paradoies
What happened to the List of parodies on Arthur article?
- It was likely deleted. -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 22:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Or perhaps you botched the link, along with the spelling of the word "parodies" -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 22:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps if you have a comment to make you could first make sure it is useful. If not perhaps you should refrain from making it. 4.142.78.67 12:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)eric
- The irony. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 13:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Episode notability
Many or all of the existing individual episode pages for Arthur fail notability guidelines, including the notability guidelines for television episodes, and have been tagged accordingly. Might I suggest these articles are improved with real-world information from reliable sources to assert notability. Trivia, quotes and overly long plot summaries should be removed. You might consider merging any notable information onto the list of episodes or season pages. Otherwise, when these pages come up for review in fourteen days, they may be redirected, merged or deleted. If you want any help or further information, then come to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage. Thanks. Gwinva 13:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Early TV special(s)?
Were there any animated Arthur projects before this TV series? I seem to remember seeing something, it couldn't have been any later than 1993. --Ragemanchoo (talk) 13:25, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Apocalyse Now?
"Full Metal Jacket (Episode 80 – The Lousy Week) In which the leader of an army of lice claims to "love the smell of hair gel in the morning" parodying the similar famous line delivered by Robert Duvall." This line is a parody of Apocalypse Now not Full Metal Jacket

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ArthurPortait.gif
Image:ArthurPortait.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Something Happened
Someone really messed this page up, look at the page to see what I mean. What do we do, do we just fix it? 63.27.99.56 01:27, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The funding fiasco
From what I can discern, the funding fiasco, (adding unsourced, unverifiable and basically untrue funding) is nothing new. See the most recent history. What's the consensus about semi-PP? I'm not a regular editor of this article, otherwise I'd just req. it myself, but I don't want to step on anyone. Yngvarr 23:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

- Yeah, I got tired of it. It's the same guy, he does it all the time, and he does it all through PBS Kids shows. Argh. Gladys J Cortez 02:53, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hefty Zoo Pals, funding "vandalism", and what's for dinner here at my house...
Okay, I have to admit here that I was completely wrong about something. Hefty Zoo Pals is, believe it or not, actually a valid sponsor for "Arthur". I've been reverting it as vandalism, in the same vein as our friend who keeps adding Pfizer and all the other unsourced info, but as NeilN has pointed out, if you take a look at the Arthur main page on the PBSKids website, it's there as plain as day [1]--it's at the far right, under the picture of the Tibble twins.
So to those of you who've added it and been reverted, sorry--my bad (though to be fair to me, once something's been removed, even for the wrong reason, it's the responsibility of the person who added it to prove on the talk page why it should be re-added--that didn't happen in this case, but that doesn't excuse me either.) I'll be more careful in the future, and in the meantime I shall enjoy my delicious dinner of crow and humble pie. Gladys J Cortez 02:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC
I have edited the funding years for some of the sponsors, they were incorrect before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.89.42 (talk) 22:57, April 6, 2008
- First--thank you for actually saying something on the talk page, as we have an actual vandal who does this quite regularly and I would have pounced on this as another example, had you not said anything. Second: Where, exactly, does this information come from? I ask this not because I doubt you, but because it would be EXTREMELY useful to have an actual, citeable source for this data, to counteract vandal activity. (And third--please sign your posts, with the ~~~~ feature. Again--not to criticize; just makes it easier to follow talk threads, is all.) But mostly, thanks for bringing it up--it's GREATLY appreciated. Gladys J Cortez 10:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I have found some press releases and internet caches that only list Juicy Juice as a corporate sponsor, no Baby Gap or Polaroid. I have also found a taping of it I made, with it's original sponsors and only juicy juice was mentioned. Here is one of my resources

I am going to change the years for baby gap and Polaroid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.89.42 (talk) 01:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Premier air date
According to [2], the show premiered in 1996. I've been seeing some dispute, in the edit history, over the premier. Yngvarr (c) 11:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, and thanks for clarifying this; I got so mixed up between versions that I think I reverted to a vandalized version instead of a correct one. (oops!) It's hard to tell when one IP is vandalizing and another is correcting it, and which is the vandal. But now that I know it's 1996, that will simplify matters. Sorry for the confusion.

[edit] Greg Bailey
his name is clearly linked to the wrong article.ReZerO (talk) 23:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Abuse report filed for 69.19.14.xx
I am posting this on here, not as canvassing, but for disclosure. Also, the IP in question is dynamic and appears with different addresses, so they may not see any messages posted on their talk page, but maybe they will see the talk page here and start to communicate a little more.
