[edit] Age

Anybody knows what his date of birth is? I know he's 2 years and 38 days older then Lisa ( episode: lisa is babysit)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.198.77 (talk) 17:35 , 27 April 2007

MR. EAT MY SHORTS!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.124.160 (talk) 01:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Since Bart is forever the same age (approximately), it is unlikely that a year of birth will be given on the show, unless of course the writers want to prank the show's nitpickers. Supposedly The Bart Book (a source of questionable canonicity) gives 1 April 1979 (hint). Were this true, and if the show kept a time continuity comparable to real life, it would be perpetually set in the years 1989-1990, which is contradicted by a preponderance of prochronistic topical references (the Bush/Cheney '04 sign, for instance).
Both Bart (usually age 10) and Lisa (8) have had birthday episodes in the show, but in general they do not age in real time. / edgarde 18:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not surprised his birthday is on April Fools' Day.. Like the Weasley Twins, they're sorta alike. Megan and Ruby(dog) 22:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Why isnt his age in the profile? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.110.165.153 (talk) 00:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Because it was removed from the infobox template as (aside from Lisa and Bart) ages are speculation. Gran2 15:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Homer is age 39 (From an episode in series 10), Maggie is 1 and the age of r=the others was probably stated at sometime--Smallbig/Anonymous101 on Wikinews 12:34, 13 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smallbig (talk • contribs)

Bart's birthday can't be on April First because there was an episode set on April First and it wasn't his birthday Fegor (talk) 18:19, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Bart: 10 Lisa: 8 However, one one episode it's Lisa's birthday and she turns 9, however, in the next episodes, she is still known as 8. Howevr, this may be beacuse of a quote in the episode where Homer says, "Lets pretend it's you Birthday" To which Lisa replies "It is my Birthday" To which Homor answeres "That's the spirit!

dates are all pretty meaningless in the Simpsons...there has never been any indication as to Bart's birthday Ctjf83Talk 01:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bart's Figure

Do you think we should put in that he has the figure of Homer's body, wherein it's pear shaped?

[edit] Bart's deeds

In the Halloween Horror XVI episode Survival of the fattest Bart claims to have killed a bird. Marge replies with "He still thinks that Hobo was a bird" So Bart killed a hobo.... grtz dinoballz 09:00

  • Halloween episodes don't count as canon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.215.222.65 (talk) 22:04, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bart Nude

I noticed there's zero mention of Bart's wang being shown in The Simpsons Movie, think we should include it? DisgruntledEditor 03:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

No. -- Scorpion0422 03:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Would you like to elaborate on your reasoning? I for one don't see whats wrong with mentioning it somehow.--Joebengo 04:30, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
It was removed [1] on the ground that it is supposedly too trivial, but as far as I am concerned you are welcome to restore it. Nudity in the movie industry is not trivial, but determining important ratings and sentiments, and therefore carefully crafted.--Patrick 07:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
It is already in The simpsons Movie article under the "release" section. I don't think it's noteworthy for mention outside of the Movie page. --Simpsons fan 66 10:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
I agree with both Patrick and Simpsons fan 66. It is significant, and it should be covered in the article for the movie, not here. It's a single-episode situation. / edg

[edit] Bartman

What happened to the Bartman part of the article? --Cheeze Master 21:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

There's a whole Do the Bartman article, so I assume it was cut as redundant. Natalie 22:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BartNews.png

Image:BartNews.png 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] middle name

His middle name is Jo-jo or Jojo. Jake the Editor Man (talk) 18:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I would like to see the source of this fact mentioned in the article, as it is not widely known. Could you supply that somewhere? Thewrongidea (talk) 02:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Q: What's your full name ?

A: Bartholomew Jo-Jo Simpson.

The Simpsons Archive: Bart Simpson Interview (1998) http://www.snpp.com/other/interviews/bartsimpson98.html --91.153.19.74 (talk) 19:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I am aware of that, but it's a non-canon source and the article doesn't mention who wrote it (was it the writers, Nancy Cartwright or some random guy?) so I think we should leave it out. -- Scorpion0422 19:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure it said it in the The Bart Book as well. Leo (talk) 01:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] format

perhaps this and all the simpsons character's pages should all be in the same format (regardless of which gets chosen) to make them more readable when a person wants to go from this one to homer to marge, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.109.188 (talk) 04:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
