[edit] Content

In the recurring characters, Mr. Larrytate is missing. I don't know who plays him, but someone can find that out. He is seen in two episodes, "Potion Commotion" and "Little Sister." dr.scholl201 (talk) 00:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

There's not enough content on the page, not nearly enough and before anyone flies off the handle, I know it hasn't aired yet but doesn't anyone have any information? I can't wait till October! (No one fly off the handle!)

It airs October 5th -- Dap12 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.174.46.148 (talk) 16:49, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spells

Since the spells section is getting too big, I made a new page. Wizards of Waverly Place spells.Empezardesdecero1718 (talk) 04:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

On January 4, 2008 several edits Diff were made by User:68.43.194.12 who has vandalized Wikipedia, a person familiar with this article should validate that any improper edits have been repaired. 21:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Those edits looked like edits to improve the article and not vandalism. One dubious section remains removed and can be put back if people think it belongs. --NrDg 22:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it needs to be reverted. It deviates from the MOS we've been using. He has removed links which are supposed to have been in place (Ex. Dates, Channels, Actors and other series names). These are supposed to be linked. He deviates again from the MOS by changing "Miranda (Lucy Hale)" to "Miranda played by Lucy Hale" (Using that specific name as an example he changed the other characters too). He captialized things that don't get caps ("Theme song" turned into "Theme Song"). he removed information without a reason (" features the cast in a CGI background" also removed Spells section). The article now looks very bland and not like other articles. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 22:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Another thing, is the spelling mistakes. (Changing "Recurring" to "Reacurring") --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 22:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I have no problem with people undoing the edits, just the characterization of them as vandalism. He was being bold but doesn't have consensus. So keep the good stuff he did, if any and put the article back to what people want. --NrDg 22:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't look like vandalism, just an editor making good faith edits. Everyone makes mistakes, editor is probably just new, not a vandal. So can we revert and just fix the minor things he did get right? --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 00:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

this is insane! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.59.168.1 (talk) 20:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the 16th of may, 2008, i did a good aport, about a dvd release, someone think that is the wikipedia owner and erased it without explanation, the information was full, and in good presentation, with dates and especification but that vandalist erased it. The person who thinks this article is his property, please think in the other people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maquirri91 (talk • contribs) 12:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Removing unreferenced, dubious information is not vandalism, see WP:Vandalism. I find it extremely unlikely that Disney would release a DVD with just 2 episodes on it so I need to see a reference that backs that up. See also WP:V and WP:RS for what I would like to see. --NrDg 16:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jennifer Stone/Harper Evans

What classifies her as main cast. Shouldn't she be under Reccurring Characters? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.178.149 (talk) 21:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Being in the opening credits is sufficient and necessary to be classified as main cast. --NrDg 21:30, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The only reason Harper is shown in the main cast is because DC ALWAYs does 4 main kid stars-

That's So Raven: Raven , Chelsea, Cory , and Orlando Browns character( I forgot his name:)

Lizzie Mcguire: Matt, Lizzie , Gordo, Miranda

The Suite Life of Zack and Cody: Maddie, London, Zack , Cody

Cory in the House : Sophie, Cory ,Newt, Meena

Hannah Montana: Miley, Oliver, Lily, Jackson

The only on I couldn't find 4 kid characters was Phil Of the Future, but their dad actied kid enough:)

Jennifer Stone is a main character. Like other main characters, she doesn't need to appear in every episode to be a main character. The reason she appears to be missing more episodes than the average main character is because she was filming Dadnapped. Now, that production for the film is finished, she will appear in most of the episodes. There is no set limit on the number of child actors a Disney show has to have as a main character.

[edit] Gigi or G.G.?

There has been much debate to the spelling of her name. Gigi being the most logical because it's a word, over G.G., which are just initials. But I have valid points of proof that her name is spelled G.G.

1.) In episode "Crazy 10 Minute Sale", Harper said that her name spelled backwards is G.G. Now G.G. spelled backwards is still G.G. But if her name was Gigi, it would be Igig, which makes no sense.

2.) Since her real name is Gertrude, it is unlikely that her nick name would be Gigi. But it could be G.G. if her middle name began with a G, that way her nick name would be her initials.

3.) There is no indication on the show or official site that her name is Gigi. Now that would mean that G.G. could be wrong too, but I have presented 2 points of proof that G.G. would be more likely to be her name, as opposed to Gigi, which no proof has been presented.

I have changed all refernces of Gigi to G.G. in the Wizards of Waverly Place and List of Wizards of Waverly Place episodes articles. They should only be changed back if someone has proof that her named is spelled Gigi. JYoung3 (talk) 15:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

The end credits of "Crazy 10 Minute Sale" say "Guest Starring Skyler Samuels as Gigi". That is authoritative. --NrDg 16:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recurring characters

I think we should remove the bit comparing Frankie to Rico, using the logic that Rico has a crush on Miley as Frankie has a crush on Alex. Frankie DOES have a crush on Alex, but Rico appears to be attracted to every two-legged female on that show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.222.253 (talk) 02:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

i could not agree more!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.114.144.24 (talk) 23:43, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A few points...

I haven't looked at this article before today and I was wondering if having the spells and goofs are really necessary. I mean, they are nice, but if I wanted to find out about this show, a list of spells doesn't tell me much about the show itself. As there are more episodes, the list will get really long; so if anyone has a reason why it is important it should have its own page, and it is taking up a large amount of room.

Also, in other articles, trivia and goofs are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The goofs section, is again very nice for the fans of the show, but as an outsider, it doesn't tell me anything about the show, except Disney made some continuity errors.

This sounds quite negative, but hopefully someone will see where I'm coming from. Mouseinthehouse (talk) 16:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree, they should be removed. Carl.bunderson (talk) 21:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

As nobody against my proposal has said anything in a month, I will delete said above. Mouseinthehouse (talk) 18:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

I know that trivia sections are frowned upon on Wikipedia, but is/should it (be) mentioned how in the episode Alex's Choice, how Mrs. Russo took the lock from the lair and put it on a counter, but when Alex walks in and The camera goes to Alex and then back to Mrs. Russo with the Lair door in the background, you can see the lock is back on the door. --(long, run-on sentence)Obaidz96 (talk • contribs • count) 22:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

You're right, trivia sections are discouraged. Carl.bunderson (talk) 20:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

First, that's more of a goof. Second, it's not the most notable goof. (I didn't realize it until I read about it.) Third, if we list that goof, then we need to list every goof, and that will become too lengthy. Mr. College (talk) 20:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
