Newsletter Resuming

I am resuming the newsletter. I will need help publishing it, so if you are interested post here. The Newsletters will be published the last week of each month. -AMK152 22:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Episode articles with too much trivia

I've noticed quite alot SpongeBob articles have too much trivia, this problem needs to be worked on. Articles shouldn't have long trivia sections. Either put the important things in the article itself, or don't put them on at all. Wikipedia isn't about useless trivia. And on a side note, is this project even active? The talk page has only one other post. RobJ1981 14:20, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah but the trivia is really interesting for people who see it.--Ani vedam 01:25, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The problem still continues. Wikipedia isn't a guide to trivia: Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles is a clear guideline about this. Especially when an episode article is almost all trivia: that's a problem. "Interesting" or not, this isn't a fan's guide to every little note. I would think the SpongeBob project would care, but apparently not. RobJ1981 05:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with RobJ. ->AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 01:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Project Directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:

User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
User:Badbilltucker/Science directory

and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 21:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now put the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 23:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject SpongeBob SquarePants October 2006 Newsletter

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to deliver the Newsletter. This for October: I will be making a November Issue sometime this week. -AMK152 00:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject SpongeBob SquarePants Newsletter
October 2006		Volume 1, Issue 2

Reconstruction
The WikiProject is being reconstructed. Due to recent situations and criticisms, we have removed the board from this project. I apologize that the newsletter is late this month. The project needs at least one more newsletter writer. If you are interested, please see the WikiProject's talkpage. Interviews with the members of the WikiProject will start sometime in mid-October. See the talk page for more details. Interviews will be published in the newsletter each month, and hopefully this can improve the SpongeBob SquarePants articles.
About
The Wikipedia:WikiProject SpongeBob SquarePants newsletter is a monthly newsletter posted on the first of the month. AMK152 writes and publish it. If you have any questions or comments please post them here or on AMK152's talk page.
Concerns and questions
Please leave a message with AMK152 if you have questions concerning the project. You may also post at the WikiProject's talkpage and someone will answer.
Featured articles
We are trying to make several articles good or featured articles. We would like your help reaching featured article status. We are currently working on SpongeBob SquarePants, Krusty Krab, and Bikini Bottom. Please help us improve these articles, based on the peer reviews and your knowledge of Wikipedia featured articles.

To Do List
Episode Pages: Infoboxes need to be complete on each episode article. (Template:SpongeBob episode) All infoboxes have been completed on the season one articles. A screenshot of each title card for each episode needs to be complete on each episode article to improve it. Please try to help incorperate all trivia into the rest of the articles. This issue needs to be resolved. See: Talk:List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes#Word choice Games: The SpongeBob game articles need to be expanded, especially the stubs. See here: Template:SpongeBob Games. SpongeBob Books - On the List of SpongeBob SquarePants Media, books needed to be listed and a description of the book. Featured and Good Articles - If you believe it's good enough, feel free to nominate it. Some of these articles are just great but aren't getting nominated. Adding content to let it reach the status is just as important. Images - Make sure all SpongeBob-related images are tagged with this category: [[Category:SpongeBob SquarePants images]]

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to the Opt Out List.

Guidelines

I think we as a a project should come up with a list of guidelines for the many articles. We can add this to the temlate used on the talk pages. I have seen many trivia sections that have very odd trivia. I have some potential guidelines, please respond with any additions or discussion.

The following should be removed from the articles:

First/second/etc. appearance of _____.
First/second/etc. time ______ event occurred should be removed.
Goofs should be put as "notes" and have the proper <ref> format.
________ event is impossible because _________. If there is any way that it is possible, remove it. I have seen some such as:

Coat rack in Krusty Krab wasn't in previous episodes (Explanation: Mr. Krabs must of added/taken it away various times) - same situation with furniture, clocks etc.

All references to popular culture should have there own section in the article.

-AMK152

I have just started the template (Template:WikiProjectSpongeBobGuidelines) and am adding old guidelines. -AMK152 04:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated these proposed guidelines. I want to discuss stuff like whether or not we should removed the caption goofs. I would prefer that these would be removed. Thanks for any responses. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 01:50, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussions

Trivia

Any trivia that involves "First/second/etc. appearance of _____," "First/second/etc. time ______ event occurred" should be removed from all articles. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 17:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are three types of caption goofs (differences from broadcast audio): 1) those caused by the caption crew incorrectly reading/typing from an accurate script, 2) those caused by caption crew correctly reading/typing from an outdated, changed, or incorrect script, and 3) those caused by post-production changes to the show's audio (as, perhaps, by censorship). The first two are non-notable. The third often is. The difficulty is determining which type has occurred. On shows such as The Simpsons or South Park this is much easier than SpongeBob Squarepants, which is rarely censored. Captain Infinity 17:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews

If you would like to sign up to be interviewed, please tell me right here. I will randomly draw someone's name each month from the list, and I will interview that person. The interview will be published in the newsletter. I am hoping that the opinions of the members will help improve the SpongeBob articles on WikiPedia. -AMK152 14:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

May I Join

Excuse me, but may I join this Wikiproject? I could use something to work on. King Toadsworth 00:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You dont have to ask, just join in! Sign your name on the members section of the article. -AMK152 19:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Episode Quotes to Wikiquote

Hi, I'm currently revamping the SpongeBob Squarepants page at Wikiquote, and I've noticed that many of the recent episodes listed on Wikipedia have quotes in them as well. I will gladly move them all over to the proper place, but I'm curious to where on Wikipedia I should point people to the direction of Wikiquote. I am aware that there is a link to Wikiquote from the main SpongeBob SquarePants Wikipedia page, but I'm afraid of people continuing to add quotes in the episode pages, with out realizing they're in the wrong place. So I guess I'm asking if I should add the { { wikiquote } } template to the end of the episode pages or watch the episode pages for all quotes and remove them if they should reappear. Thanks! Curlyro 03:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a note in the WikiProject template on the Talk pages. Adding a Wikiquote link would be a great idea. Putting the link to Wikiquote on the episode Template would be a sugguestion as where to put it. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 12:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CfD Notice

The related Category:TV crew by series has been nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming. You are encouraged to join the discussion on the Categories for discussion page.

Boating School#Plot needs to be wikifed

I feel that the more words in the plot need to be wikifed. If you are going to wikify a word, read WP:MOS#Wikilinking first before doing it. Do not wikify words such as "he." Squirepants101 16:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SpongeBob_SquarePants:_Creature_from_the_Krusty_Krab#Plot needs to be rewritten?

I was just looking at the plot here and feel that this too needs to be rewitten better and not in levels either, but in an actual plot-line, so to speak. However, I can not rewrite it myself, as I have not played the game myself. Captain Drake Van Hellsing 08:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help

I'm interested in joining, however, I cannot find the template for signing my name on the article the way they appear. (It doesn't work with the four tildes; it doesn't show the "talk-contribs-count-logs" thing.) Help very much appreciated. The Bone III 22:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wumbology

I have added the deletion tag for the Wumbology article. I do not beleive that it merits a merge with another article or to remain an article unto itself. It is simply not relevant enough in the SpongeBob universe to be considered encyclopedic material. The Bone III 21:43, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
