Talk:The Powerpuff Girls

Lauren Faust?

The article on Lauren Faust states "She is the creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and has also worked on both of these shows... She has received four Emmy nominations (two for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and two for her work on the Powerpuff Girls)" This article does not mention Ms. Faust at all. Which is right?74.196.201.55 (talk) 08:49, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

According to IMDb, she was a director in 12 episodes of The Powerpuff Girls and storyboard artist in 6. These shows were created by Lauren's husband Craig McCracken. Enkidu6 (talk) 11:17, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Margaret Keane

There is a line that says the creator was inspired by Margaret Keane. Is there any verification/citation for this assertion?

According to Powerpuff Girls Anime Style! he was. — Glenn L (talk) 07:16, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Peer review

Here are the comments left by Bradley0110 at the peer review (not including this edit):

• The lead currently doesn't summarize the article as it omits mention of Reception and Other media. "The series was been nominated for X Emmy Awards and Y Annie Awards during its run. Spin-off media include a feature film, an anime, as well as various licensed merchandise." should be suitable.
• Overview section should come before History section to give the reader a grounding in what the article is about.
• Please look through the prose of the article and pick out redundancies in the text; e.g. "The girls are frequently called upon by the town's childlike mayor, who will then request the girls to help fight nearby criminals using their powers." is fine without the italicized text.
• The History section jumps around quite a lot and isn't focused on the things it should be; the broadcast of the pilot is in parentheses for some reason and mention of the animation studio is relegated to the penultimate sentence.
• Did merchandising actually "encompass everything" or is this just hyperbole?
• Moving on to the Overview section, the entire paragraph about the location of Townsville is unsourced and constitutes original research. I doubt there is much in the way of reliable third party text on this subject but if there is you could incorporate that. Likewise the sentence regarding the animation style and comparisons to other series is unsourced.
• Characters section. Big pool of OR. It's very difficult to describe a fictional character's personality traits using episodes directly because there is always the chance of running into synthesis, e.g. "She is often seen as the most mature, level-headed, and composed member of the group, although she can at times be fussy, overbearing, petty, and too analytical." Are there any descriptions of the characters in reliable sources? Does the creator talk about their personalities at all?
• Reception is scant on the reviews, most likely these two were all that could be found on Google? If so, you could try asking at WT:TV if anyone has access to Newsbank or a similar database. Some further reviews may turn up. Nice work with the awards table. This should be sortable per WP:ACCESS and the years should have their own column.
• Other media: The last sentence of the anime section is unsourced and contains a time-dependent word ("currently" - is that currently now or currently six months ago?) and the Film section is unsourced.

When all of these problems are taken care of, the article can be GA-nominated. I'll do what I can as far as sentence structure and reference-finding, but I doubt I'll make any big edits until sometime next week. If anyone wants to tackle a few of these issues until then, feel free to. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 20:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Well I took out the part about the location of townsville. As for the character info, the wayback machine might be good to look into cartoon network's description of the characters as the page has been changed multiple times. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

I knocked out a few more of these. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 21:31, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Music CD's article?

Looking over the article the Music CD's just seem to stick out like a sore thumb, do we really need the hugs info boxes that list the songs on the mainpage here? I think an article should be made that covers the music from the powerpuff girls as there is not just one music CD here and if sources can be found on reception and such could be a good article as well. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:33, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

The music article would be an easy split, and it would doubtlessly decrease the workload for making this a GA nominee. What would it be called, though? Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 23:13, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Done I have made an article titled List of Powerpuff Girls soundtracks, and is now a well referenced article, I cant say the same about the section here though, it needs work. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

The Powerpuff Girls to do list is up for deletion

I have nominated Talk:The Powerpuff Girls/to do for deletion at WP:MFD. Please comment here for any concerns. Thank you for your time. Regards, JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 05:52, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Media section is too small

I recently tagged the media section as needing expansion so my thoughts for improvement are:

• Merge List of The Powerpuff Girls video games (Only 6.0KB Long) back into this article.
• Expand the PPG Movie section (There is content in the main article that can be put into summary.

Please post your feedback - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:52, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Regarding point #1, the game article needs serious expansion; it currently doesn't even mention half of the games. I wouldn't want to merge the two because it'll eventually become too large of a section and need to be split off anyway. As for point #2, I'm all for it. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 22:13, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Okay for point #1, I do feel though at least some mention should be added to the main page about the games rather than just a link under the section. As for the movie section I will work on that then. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:18, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

I also agree about the games section. Maybe a paragraph could be added that lists all the games. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 22:52, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
