South park

It says that it references south park in an episode, does anyone know what episode that is?

  • "The Contest", which also had a number of other various cartoon parodies: Dexter's Laboratory, Beavis & Butt-Head, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

holocaust

hey from where did the idea that francine's grandfather is a holocaust survivor come from, cuz i don't think such heavy things would be mentioned in a kids tv show

Arthur deals with a number of heavy themes, such as divorce. It's a kids' show, but it deals with real life. And the reality is that the Holocaust happened.

well I don't remember any mentionings of the holocaust

Right, because from what I recall, there isn't. It's probably put there by some delusional troll. Removing it. RAMChYLD 04:59, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

In the christmas episode it mentions it. he was not a troll.

Oh? Which part? I bought both the VHS and the DVD off Amazon and have watched them millions of times, and don't recall seeing any of this.RAM 02:19, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Important notice

Some additional guidelines: If a character does not have a name listed, it should be considered a "prop" character and should not be put into the cast list until the character's name is found to be mentioned either in the books or on the TV series. Names from fanfics, as mentioned above, does not count as it is not canon to the show or the books.


Prunella

I saw the television-show before, and I think that Prunella and her family are opossums. They do not resemble Mr. Ratburn in any way.--Anglius 19:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

It says on the Arthur website that they are rats. Only the people who created Arthur can be right.

Sir, it is possible that they might have made a error. I apologise for replying so unpunctually.--Anglius 03:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure they made an edit. Oh yeah, I'm a girl, bub.

I apologise, madam. I still believe that they erred, though.--Anglius 00:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Information on the Arthur website is considered canon, error or not. Likewise there are many different sub-species of rats. You cannot assume that all rats look alike.RAM 06:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I still do not believe that they are rats, sir. However, there are apparently no other legitimate sources to contradict any of the information upon that 'web-site.' It would also be petty to argue about this.--Anglius 01:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

"April": Real name unearthed?

I noticed that someone has noted that the rabbit girl's name was somehow revealed as "Jenny" in the wiki. If anyone can confirm this, you may replace the name "unnamed rabbit girl" with it. I had this title on my Macintosh but accidentally wiped it when I upgraded it to OS 9.2 and can no longer get a copy of it, so no checking for me. Also, I put Charles back into Ratburn and did some correction to some embarassing mistakes I made: See episode #50802 at ECDC for more information. Lastly, about Mr. Read's first name being errornously said as "Nigel": I will let it through for now, but can anyone point me in direction of at least one episode where this error take place so I or others can verify it?

RAMChYLD 05:41, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I have to tell somebody

I turned on the TV to watch Arthur on my local station this morning (channel 39, Philadelphia) and instead found a program called "Inside the Nazi State". Worse, it had the PBS Kids Go logo in the corner! Obviously a mistake, but jeez.... ike9898 13:28, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Dispute topic: Win Arthur's Money

Okay, I noticed that someone has snuck that in. I dropped the link to the page and put up a dispute tag as I do not know the accuracy of the information. No one at the Yahoo Arthur Group has ever brought it up, and it just sounds fishy.

Please confirm the information by providing me with a link to the source of the information, thanks.RAM 09:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Update1 Fern publishing a book? Sounds too far off to be true. Please post links to references. Thanks. RAM 02:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Dispute resolution: Win Arthur's Money deleted

Seeing that no one replied about that, I have concluded that the information is bogus and have removed it. Update1 No replies about Fern publishing a book either, so I removed it, considering it to be bogus.

Arthur's Race

What race is Arthur? All the other characters have races/religions. So what is Arthur's?

  • Well, Arthur attended a Christmas eve mass in Arthur's Perfect Christmas, so it is almost certain that he's Christian. RAM 07:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Christianity is a religion, not a race. AND in the US at least, many, many non-Christians celebrate Christmas.

ike9898 13:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

      • Non-Christians may celebrate Christmas, but they don't go to mass you schmuck.-User:Mike Bags
        • Well, If he has one, it was never mentioned. RAM 05:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
          • Does it really matter? Janet6 18:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
            • In the grand scheme of things, does having an 'Arthur' article on Wikipedia at all really matter? I think not, so lighten up! Regardless, if Arthur attended 'mass', the implication is that he is Roman Catholic (as opposed to 'Christian'), faithwise. Can't help you as far as race goes. Grammaticus Repairo 23:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Arthur is apparently supposed to be white.--Anglius 01:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
How ironic that he's brown... Grammaticus Repairo 21:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't even think you can tell one's race just by looking at their skin. For one thing, if you used the skin color rational, you have to take into account that Francine is Jewish, and has an Eastern European Surname; therefore the odds of her being African American are rather slim. --ShadowJester07 23:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Of course you can't 'tell one's race just by looking at their skin'! I just found it amusing that the 'white' character was actually brownish in color...have a sense of humor! I would, however, like to note actor Yaphet Kotto as a Jewish African-American man, who also, interestingly, happened to play a character of Italian descent for 7 seasons in Homicide: Life on the Street. Finally, the word 'rationale' has an 'e' at the end.  :) Grammaticus Repairo 19:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Closed captioning errors removed

I have removed the closed captioning glitches in the trivia section. This is because firstly, Arthur is aired on two different captioning tracks in the US itself (and word has it some stations even offers a third track in Spanish). Outside the US, the captioning are almost certainly done in-house by the TV station and are usually not transferred from the official closed captioning track (in fact, there is still a substantial number of countries that either do not caption programming at all, uses a different captioning method i.e. Teletext), or use open captioning instead.

Guidelines to check with before submitting a caption mistake:

  • 1. Is the caption settings of the TV correct at that time?
  • 2. Did the TV station goofed up?
  • 3. Was the signal strong enough to not warrant captioning errors?
  • 4. Was the captioning done in-house and not transferred over from the official caption track(s)?
  • 5. Was the program re-dubbed?

When recording a caption mistake in the WiKi:

  • 1. Note the call-sign of the channel that the error occured at the end of the error.
  • 2. If outside the US, note the country where the error occured.
  • 3. It would also help to note the date/time the error occured.

This should help make it more comprehensible to the readers, as some might find it puzzling that a caption mistake occured when they do not in fact get captioning at all, or they did not get that mistake on their end at all. I also propose creating a separate page or section dedicated to glitches in the show if they're to be re-added.

Revert Aug 11 2006 in 24 hours

The guide was fine the way it was and I believe that splitting the entire guide into smaller guides would only complicate matters more. We already have an unwelcome vandalism problem and I cannot spend all the time monitoring all these pages. Therefore I am considering reverting the page in 24 hours. If anyone have reasons for me to not do so please respond to this post. RAM 00:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

  • It is too long and messy in its original form. GooTuM 17:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Reason accepted. The changes stays. RAM 12:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Funding

Is it really relevent for a Wikipedia article? GooTuM 17:26, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, if the other PBSKids-related pages has it, I don't see why not. Then again, it would probably leave the less-informed international readers scratching their heads.RAM 12:28, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

A question

Which is the episode in which Arthur says "Did Mozart give it a rest?" And which is the episode that, in one shot, has a real-looking house with a real-looking car in front of it?

  • I can't remember, it's been years, but I'm betting Arthur vs. The Piano.RAM 01:01, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I think the Mozart Comment was from The Crunch Cereal Contest. GooTuM 05:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it was. It's when Buster suggests that they take a break from working on the jingle. SaranethSama 23:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Ah, ok. RAM 00:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

What about the answer to my second question?

  • No idea (except a possibility that it's a post-season-5 episode), sorry. RAM 03:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Episode Pages

Should they be 2 15 minute episodes (like the first 3 episodes have) or should each 15 minute episode have an individual page (like some of the later episodes)? GooTuM 06:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, having each an individual page would go easier for those with narrowband or low-capacity devices (i.e. I sometimes would visit the site with a Sony Clie PDA, which has NetFront 3 as it's browser (and trust me, it's abysmal. Usually complains of page being too large and then cuts off halfway). Also, some areas air Arthur as one 15 minute episode iirc. I say, one 15-minute episode on each page, but note that which two episodes go back to back. Btw, I propose the following naming convention for the episode pages: <episode name> (Arthur TV series episode). Let me know what you think.RAM 01:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Wouldn't that require making a lot of redirects? I'd say we only have to have the (Arthur TV series episode) if the episode name has another page (the episode name that comes to my mind is happy anniversary) GooTuM 05:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm, well, alright. It's just a suggestion.RAM 00:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

More

Where on the Internet can I watch Arthur episodes?

I don't think one can watch episodes of Arthur on the Internet, unless PBS has put them up for streaming. However, Lime Wire may have the episodes up for illegal download :-p --ShadowJester07 22:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, your guess are as good as mine. I'd also like to catch up on Arthur as NTV7 stopped airing Arthur after season 4 in 2002 and Disney Asia dropped Arthur halfway through season 5 in 2003. If anyone have a good lead please post it here. RAM 01:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I think Google Video has some Arthur eps. Just click on "Video-new!" on the Google homepage, and there should be some Arthur clips, if not full episodes. Janet6 18:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Alright, thanks. I'll go have a look when I find time to do so.
Well, took a look. Apart from a Kideo's Arthur's New Friend promo, nothing. So much for that. RAM 00:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Opinions, opinions, opinions!

I noticed in the "cast" section of this article, someone snuck in "Arthur's last tow voice changes sounded as if he hit early puberty". I think Wikipedia should be about the facts, and not what people think. I know I've inserted my opinions into articles before, but I'm trying to do better. Also--I haven't heard anything on this so-called "controversy" about the spiritualism and Yoga in Arthur. Can someone fill me in, or should I just delete that section? I know if someone was just hotheaded about something they saw in an episode, it's not really "controversy". Janet6 18:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Speculation doesn't really belong on Wikipedia. When I was reading over the controversy portion of the article, it seemed very over-analytical and cynical (This is a Children's show!). Furthermore, unless someone can dish out a reliable source for the claim, it should be deleted; Wikipedia is not a place for original research.
And for the facts, Arthur doesn't grow up, He will always be nine years old ;-) --ShadowJester07 19:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I decided not to touch the controversy section of the guide because of lack of information (as stated before numerous times, I never got beyond the first half of Season 5). I trust the other editors to know what they're doing before messing with it.RAM 02:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Are there any sources to where all those claims came from? Or are they from original research? --ShadowJester07 03:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
No idea. RAM 09:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Most likely then, it should probably be removed, as it is in violation with Wikipedia's policy regarding original research. --ShadowJester07 18:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup

Do you think the article is good enough to remove the cleanup tag? If not, what can we improve?GooTuM 21:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

There are several tone and writing style issues. One can't even get passed the first couple of paragraphs before sensing that there is something wrong. Here are things I have picked up,
  • Seemingly Redundant and/or superficial Information.
  • The Tid-Bits of poorly written cruft. (Ei "This game hasy you piloting the head of Arthur throughout a map of part of what is supposedly Elwood city and partaking in minigames so he could go visit the amusement park (Wonder World?). Gameplay is weak, graphics and BGM is only of mediocore quality, and voice acting is nonexistant")
  • Mundane or Pointless facts that do not belong in the Triva Section.
I've trimmed a couple of the trivia. If this doesn't cause spasms, there are a couple more items that aren't really very interesting and could be dropped. ike9898 14:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

--ShadowJester07 23:14, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Ugh, i've never played those games >_> GooTuM 01:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
I have played both Arthur games, and wrote that from experience. Arthur's Absolutely Fun Day really was that bad. I made those entries actually - mainly because some troll wrote delusional trash about an Arthur-Pac Man World crossover game, and I didn't really feel like tearing the whole section off since there are Arthur games in existance, so I just wrote those into the trash's place hastily.--RAM 13:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
One should also take into account that there is a contradiction in the Trivia section. "Although the program is primarily produced by WGBH of Boston, Massachusetts, the production of the show is all done in Montreal, Quebec, which includes the writing, drawing and voice-acting". How can the show be primarily produced in Boston (PBS's Flagship Educational Station) if all the work is done in Canada? I'm guessing this was a typo on someone's account. --ShadowJester07 19:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
I admit, I wrote that too. The original entry which was put in by someone states that the show takes place in Boston, which is of course wrong. However, I could not think of how to correct that, since the logo at the end of the programming suggests that WGBH produced the show. Feel free to reword it, I can't think of anything better. Oh, re-added caption, I think it's needed because that's not a screenshot from the TV show. RAM 13:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
I see nothign wrong with many of the trivia deleted... That 70's Show has an entire page for trivia and theres a lot more pointless facts... GooTuM 00:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Caption removal

I've removed the caption which indicated the pic was the Arthur logo. Looking at Template talk:Infobox Television, it says that "A caption explaining the image. An image with the title logo of the show does not need a caption.". Hope we're all agreeable to this. Please discuss here if it's an issue. --Oscarthecat 19:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Alrhight, have it your way. --RAM10:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Additional Consolidation

Is the Toys and games appearing on the show section really needed? It does not really seem to help the article, or provide any substantial information. Furthermore, for the sake of the article's size, It would probably be more efficient to split up the Album section into four separate articles or sub pages. --ShadowJester07 23:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

If you must, toys and games can go on a separate page as a list... but then this article could evntually become a big pile of links >_> GooTuM 01:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, I personally put a lot of work into that section. If it's removed I'll be less than happy. I vote that if it must be removed, it should be split into a sub-page. I do not agree with the idea of splitting the album article into three sub-pages however. One sub-page with all three albums, yes. Three sub-pages, no. RAM 14:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Wrong Page

In the Vomitrocious! page, it gives the wrong plot description as this episode is about Arthur turnign into Muffy. I forget what the title of this episode was... GooTuM 16:22, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I think the description on the page is for Arthur goes Crosswire or something along that line. I forget. RAM 00:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Live action?

Each half-hour episodes contains two self-contained stories, that are separated by a live-action vignette entitled A Word From Us Kids. I've never seen any of these vignettes. Do they really exist? Or are they only in later episodes? If so, that should be noted. Apart from this sentence, I'd never have a clue that there were any such things. Gohst 06:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

No, they don't exist; We added that sentence to spawn an intricate web of deceitful conspiracies that can be traced back to L. Ron Hubbard himself. (Of course they exist, why would we have added such a thing if they did not exist)-ShadowJester07 00:58, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
They exist, but only on the episodes that aired on PBS (and if I remember correctly, CBC) affiliate networks. International editions lack the viginette for some reason. Disney Channel Asia's and NTV7 Malaysia's airings of the show didn't have it, and neither did TCS Central Singapore's. However, the number of accounts of it from those who gets the show on PBS stations do prove it exists. I guess on versions sold to broadcasters outside the US, the viginette is optional. RAM 01:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Nor does the Latino version of Cartoon Network. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 03:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Anyone else from elsewhere wants to comment? It'll be intresting to know which country apart from the US and Canada airs the segment and which does not. RAM 00:59, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Cancelled?

I have noticed that Arthur has moved to "shows no longer in production" section of the PBS programming template. Has Arthur been cancelled?--Kenn Caesius 22:24, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

  • I doubt it. IMDB doesn't say it's over (the end date is still "????") and I'd think cancelling a show with such a large fan community would inspire some "Save Arthur" petitions and such. Since I've heard nothing else about it, I assume it's an error. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I have not heard anything about any plans for an eleventh season. IMDB is not a reliable source, and "The Fairly OddParents" (just cancelled) and "SpongeBob SquarePants" have much bigger fan communitities than "Arthur". Also, Arthur has been partially put into obscurity by shows like Cyberchase and Jakers!, and hardly airs as much as it used to. Marcus 00:29, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
      • I personally wouldn't think of it as over. Although there is no word on season 11 yet, I really doubt it to be cancelled as it would've been official and would appear in either or both WGBH newsrooms and/or Arthur Worldwide. And as Starblind said, cancelling a show with such a large fanbase would be suicidal. Besides, they just released a movie (although the movie was bad imo). I guess they're just still in the planning phase. We get all sorts of rot here- from unnamed rabbit girl is April/May/June/Whatever trash to fake Season 11 information. As the the show mistakenly appearing in PBS' no longer in production template, mistakes happen. I even noticed some typos on my satellite provider's website yesterday.RAM 01:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
I still about my doubts about Arthur being cancelled. I conducted searches for news and websites for further and I could not find any reliable source. I cannot help but wonder if some person just misinterpreted the end of tenth season episodes as the end of the series.--Kenn Caesius 16:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
        • I bet it isn't in production anymore, but it still airs in my town...

First Fictional Aardvark ?

Was Arthur Or the Blue Aardvark in the The Ant and the Aardvark the first fictional Aardvark.

Arthur was first introduced in the late '70s. A&A came out in ~'69. Hope that answered your question ;) --ShadowJester07 22:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

That A&A which Feature The Blue Aardvark was the first aardvark.

What about Cerebus the Aardvark did He come before or after Arthur

  • None of the above is even close to being the first fictional aardvark. There are aardvark characters present in the folk tales of several cultures, such as the Yoruba people of what is now Nigeria. Some believe that the Egyptian god Set (Seth) represents an aardvark. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

That doesn't Answer the Cerebus Question

  • It's close, but Athur came first, in 1976, about one year before Cerebus. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

What are some of the folk tales that feature aardvarks?

Know any more folk tales

Are we doing someone's research for them for a school report on "Aardvarks In Fiction"? If so, I hope they also have someone to go over the basic tenets of capitalization and punctuation before they turn it in. -Grammaticus Repairo 06:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

No and Jeez,I'm just Curious.

Indeed you are. -Grammaticus Repairo 04:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

D.W. or Cyril Sneer

In one Episode of Arthur D.W. loves money this Copying off of Cyril Sneer on The Raccoons because he is also an aardvark.

Many Characters in Arthur have the names of character that are also names of characters on the Raccoons like George,Lisa,Tommy, and Dan


Adult Humor

Did Arthur ever have episodes using adult Humor.

  • Sort of. There was never anything patently adult like sexual references, but there have been jokes which were clearly intended for viewers older than Arthur's core audience. As one example, when Muffy is working as agent for the Backstreet Boys, she takes a 50% cut, which is much higher than an agent would make in real life, although most 4-to-8-year-olds probably wouldn't knoe that. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Mr.Haney vs Mr.Haney

Did Arthur steal the name Mr. Haney from Green Acres' Mr. Haney?

Well, if they don't behave alike, my guess would be no.RAM 12:58, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I mean was there any other Mr.Haneys that were fictional?

EA Games and funding

Can anyone confirm this, that EA games is a sponsor of Arthur? For some reason, I suspect the entry. 219.93.44.71 00:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC) (This anonymous message was created by User:RAMChYLD as he forgot to log in)

It's likely a falsehood. Which explains why EA was poorly spelled and Google is not finding anything. --ShadowJester07 01:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Alright. Just wanted to be sure. Removed. RAM 00:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Pop culture references

I think that pop culture references should be permitted in articles on Wikipedia, for the reasons given in my summary for my revert. Marcus 01:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Also, a small percentage of kids who go on Wikipedia are children, and a large percentage have poor language skills and perform vandalism. Marcus 01:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean this page, [1]? It should probably be spliced into the "about Arthur" part --ShadowJester07 01:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

A substantial percentage of adults who go on Wikipedia also have demonstrably poor language skills, for that matter. -Grammaticus Repairo 15:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


Toys Appearing on the Series

Is it juut me, or is this section completely unnecessary? Wikipedia isn't a receptical for random bits of minutia. Some of the things included here could be used as examples of running gags, but to have an entire section devoted to "toys" (many of which only appeared briefly) seems excessive.

Er, I felt it was kinda superficial, but then again, I'm (supposedly) an m:Exclusionist. While I agree the section may not be needed, I would feel bad that person partially spent hours writing it in vain. Weak Agree with w/ Olivix --ShadowJester07 18:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Also agreed, although Stanley belongs on the characters page. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I just realized that there's an entry here for a calculator Muffy got... That seems awfully excessive. If it's okay, when I have time I would like to try to pare this down to a list of "significant parodies", which I think would be more appropriate. (Lolly Locket and the World Girls are significant; the doll DW didn't get for Christmas is not.) As for the person who wrote it - it's true that it's a shame it was written in vain, but it doesn't belong here. They're free to put it on a fan page if they want to. Olivix 19:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Or a seperate Arthur wiki. I'm surprised nobody has started one yet. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I really cannot see how Stanley belongs to the characters page, since he's not a "living" character on the show. Separate Arthur Wiki, though, sounds like a good idea. Gotta figure out how Wikia works. RAM 01:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
On the idea of a separate wiki, I admit I kinda like it. And so does Agent 0042 (a fellow moderator at the Arthur yahoo groups). I've just submitted a request to Wikia. Let's see how it turns out! RAM 14:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Oh, good. I hope it happens. Let me know if you get stuck. Basically Wikipedia works just like Wikipedia, so if you know your way around here you'll be just fine there. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, still no word from them. I also just noticed that there's a 2-10 day waiting period before they get back to me on the case, so now I will need to play the waiting game.RAM 13:55, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, it is done. We're given a trial wiki at the Wikia Scratchpad[2]. Right now it's kinda bare, but I will be starting to put up information on the page soon. RAM 12:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Arthur: Virtual Elwood City

That doesn't sound right. I know the Arthur GBC game exists because I've played it (albeit on an emulator). I know the Arthur PSOne game exists because I have a copy of it and have played it on a real PSOne. I know Living Books exist because I have a few of them (D.W. The Picky Eater and Arthur's Teacher Trouble). I know there are classroom companion CD-ROMs in existance. But this one just smells fishy. And nothing's turning out on Google either.RAM 01:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Eleventh Season

I noticed someone put up the eleventh season. Where did they hear that from?

Arthur's House

The Arthur wesbite has a whole new Elwood City map. The map seemingly matches up with that of the Boston vicinity. Arthur's house is on 562 Main Street, so I posted that in the article. Janet6 20:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Arthur's article

Why's the article called Arthur Timothy Read? I know Timothy is his middle name, but couldn't it just be Arthur Read?

For the same reason the Leon Kennedy article is actually called Leon S. Kennedy ;-). In other words, I'm not sure; it was probably created to separate that Arthur article from any other possible article with the same name. --ShadowJester07 21:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Article Vandalism

I noticed that people are freely inserting vandalism into the Arthur article, like Buster and Arthur behaving inappropriately with each other and mess like TV-MA. Can we guard against this, please? Thanks. Janet6 19:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
