[edit] current topics

We need a picture for Dib. --Raelifin 18:17, 23 June, 2006 (UTC)

I think we should remove bloody Gir as he is not really a character, and all the information is a duplicate of what lies on the Gir page anyway. Anyone else in favour?

Agree. It's interesting, but doesn't really belong here. --H2g2bob 01:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes. Bloody Gir is an easter egg, not a character. --Raelifin 18:17, 23 June, 2006 (UTC)
Removed. --Raelifin 18:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


What about the schoolchildern - they have quite a big part to play. I mean, people like Gretchen or Zeta (who is in almost every episode). --H2g2bob 01:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I think we should make a small section for them and list the most common school children and anything important about them (ie. big apperances, ect.) Devilmaycare 08:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FAQ of sorts

Can someone tell me where it says membrane keeps his wifes remains in a jar? The show provides no evidence ofhim even having a wife at all from what i can see Devilmaycare 21:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

  • It's from an old interview Jhonen gave somewhere, but off the top of my head, without spending some time on google, I wouldn't be able to tell you which interview. J. Random Lurker 05:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Aren't his children (or at least Dib) clones anyway? -- Chris Ccool2ax contrib. 01:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I think so, but we need citation of where it says it before we can put it in the page. I think it was an episode commentry Devilmaycare 06:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] old updates

Have reorganised the page for easier viewing, what do you think, keep it or not? Devilmaycare 11:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

keep. -Quiddity 19:24, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nick the Happy Probe Kid

Can we get an Article and a picture of Nick the happy kid with the probe in his brain. He was in three epiodes, yet he isn't on the character list. :D

[edit] The President

Can't we add something about him? He appeared more than Nick and actually had dialog; not like The Maniac

[edit] Cameos

Should we put in actors and Jhonens comic characters that had cameos in the show on the list? Bladez636

[edit] Mr. Elliot

I'm sure I've seen this guy on my DVD's, and I only have up to The Sad, Sad Tale of Chickenfoot.--Gaeamil 23:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Split page

Y Done

The page is very long now so I'm suggesting that a split might be appropriate. Possibly this scenario:

  • List of Characters in Invader Zim
to
  • List of main characters in Invader Zim
  • List of secondary characters in Invader Zim
  • List of cameos in Invader Zim

With List of Characters in Invader Zim pointing to all 3 with a simple list of characters. I've placed the split tag on the page to build a consensus. ●BillPP (talk|contribs) 14:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

That's a great idea. Makes it easier to find a specific character.--Gaeamil 10:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah its a good idea it is A little overcrowded because of me I mean theres so many characters. Bladez636

If there are already seperate articles for the main characters, they don't need to be listed at all. So I suggest you don't need a section called "main characters", just "supporting characters" and "minor characters."Konczewski 21:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, it took a while but I've split the page into 2. I've downsized the cameo information and removed alot of the images. The supporting characters can be found here Supporting characters in Invader Zim (also linked in the article). It definitely looks a lot better now. ●BillPP (talk|contribs) 00:41, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I must note this I had created a Character list here so come look at it for those whod like to see images http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Characters_from_Invader_Zim

[edit] Characters

I got the names of all characters from [1] Bladez636

[edit] WAY too many pictures.

JUST LOOK! OH MY GOD!!!!! 20:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] We need to remove a lot of people.

We have characters here that appared for only a few seconds on one episode. Come on, we know better than that. Zazaban 23:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah... uh my fault lately ive been clearly obsesed with Invader Zim and ive been adding characters to the list without thinking (DUH). Theres so many characters. So delete the stuff ive clearly spent several hours on. Bladez636

Some of this stuff is somewhat useful it may be long but hey the L&S experiment list is long too ??? The ruler of us all

Then why don't we shorten that too? Zazaban 22:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

But does any single person think something that I put on this list is important huh huh.... Bladez636

[edit] Merge in Almighty Tallest

A user has raised notability concerns about Almighty Tallest. I think that the information there can be summarised and merged here. Also a source should be found for the unfinished script details. ●BillPP (talk|contribs) 20:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I've added Professor Membrane and Ms. Bitters to the list of merge suggestions because they lack sources and notability also. ●BillPP (talk|contribs) 20:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree on moving them; in fact, I think I'll try it now!Leslie Granger (talk) 02:09, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A source that could be used: Jerry Beck's Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons!

I found a book in the bookstore called Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons! by Jerry Beck. I'm not going to buy it and join the project, but I will ask the other members to get the book so that they can add real world information about various fictional characters.

This makes the creation of separate articles for *many* fictional characters feasible. Having information about the development of the character will make the articles satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (fiction)
