[edit] Desperate need for cleanup

Does anyone else agree that we don't need to list every single creature mentioned in the show? Seems like listing people who've only been mentioned on the show is a waste of time.Konczewski 16:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC) One additional suggestion--if you're going to add the name of an obscure, minor character, it might be a good idea to mention in what episode they appeared. The recent entry for "Stan the Manta" is a good example; I don't ever remember seeing him in any episode. Can someone provide a cite?Konczewski 11:10, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Stan the Manta is not a character as far as I know; I am not sure of there was this character on a videogame. -AMK152 22:25, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures???

This article needs some pictures!!!! though I guess copyright is an issue.

[edit] Peer Review

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.^[1]
• See if possible if there is a free use image that can go on the top right corner of this article.^[2]
• Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm.^[3]
• Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per WP:SS.^[4]
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • “In the year [of] 1990”
• You may wish to convert your form of references to the cite.php footnote system that WP:WIAFA 2(c) highly recommends.
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a. ^[5]

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, AMK152 21:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Man Ray

This character had a page here which was redirected to this page but there is nothing about them. Arniep 20:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which Charchter

in the talk for SpongeBob SquarePants I have already stated that The Purple Doctorfish is not Dr. Gill Gilliam even though they have the same voice. Mrsanitazier 22:45, 3 November 2006 2006 (UTC)

The only difference is the color. Perch Perkins has had color change, so has Fred, Tom, and even Mr. Krabs, Squidward, SpongeBob, and Patrick in some episodes. Notice how Perch Perkins and Gill Gilliam are normally purple, but changed to orange in Once Bitten. -AMK152 02:20, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
