[edit] Image stacking

I find it rather annoying that the images are all stacked on the right followed by the list below them. I would happily incorporate the images into the table if no one objects. Reywas92^Talk 21:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Why? It looks perfectly fine to me. Therefore I object incorporating them into any table, because it wouldn't work. Gran² 22:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm guessing you have a different browser than I do. Mine stacks the images on top of each other in a very ugly way with white space on the left. I'd like to try it (It would work) and if you still object you can revert. Reywas92^Talk 21:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be easier to demonstrate it here first? Save you the trouble of doing the whole thing and then it being reverted straight away if I still disagree. If you demonstrate it here then we can discuss possible changes instead of just constantly editing the article. Gran² 21:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I have started on it at User:Reywas92/List of cast members of The Simpsons. It isn't difficult and it prevents the stacking. Reywas92^Talk 17:29, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I think that would work a lot better if we had free-use images for all of the cast, because it looks a bit strange like that with massive gaps in the table. If only other Flickr would release some of their images... ah well. Gran² 07:21, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maude Flanders played by Marcia Mitzman Gaven???

I don't think we should say that Marcia Mitzman Gaven played Maude Flanders: she played that character only in the episode "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily", and only for 3 lines according to snpp.com.

She's credited as playing Maude in the Beyound Forever books, and we're just following what they say. And according to them, she was in several episodes. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

1. SNPP is not a reliable source. 2. Its not like she's a one-time character, its Maude Flanders, and Gaven played here, meaning it should be mentioned. Gran² 15:31, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hank Azaria in the first season

I've watched the credits of the first season episodes, and Hank Azaria appears in 9 episodes, not just one. Those episodes are Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, Homer's Odyssey, There's No Disgrace Like Home, Moaning Lisa, The Call of the Simpsons, The Telltale Head, Homer's Night Out, Krusty Gets Busted and Some Enchanted Evening. 84.120.173.177 (talk) 18:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Does this page say he appears in just one? It says he was a guest actor in season 1 and not an official main cast member, which is true. It says he "first" appeared in SEE, which is true, because that was the first episode produced. So waht's the problem? Gran² 19:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
