Talk:ICarly

Article should be rewritten

The article sounds like it was written by an 8-year-old, in my opinion. Just read the Carly Shay blurb and you'll likely see what I mean. (24.47.88.195 (talk) 21:16, 6 January 2008 (UTC))

i agree, but since i don't watch the show i cant do it.

some dumbass, plot isn't the characters!

i'm changing plot to be a part of characters! plot is a young girl creates a web show! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.215.70.75 (talk) 20:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Sources needed

Where did you get the names for the episodes? Please provide a link. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.77.92.54 (talk) 20:31, 24 April 2007 (UTC).

Well it is said on Nick--Physik 03:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't care if it's on Nick. If you don't have a TV.com or IMDB.com source, please don't add it. Wait a few weeks...please be patient. --76.21.32.2 03:01, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

If Nick says that's the name then isn't that 100% true source? How can you make tv.com or imdb more reliable than the people who make the show?

that really makes no sense........why have an unofficial source when nick is a 100% true source... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.143.90 (talk) 02:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Parodies?

Is this whole thing based on parodies of real things? e.g. the little "i" representing the iSomething's that Apple Computer makes, as well as iCarly being a parody of lonelygirl15? 24.126.26.172 20:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

No, but they're going to get their butts sued off of them for copying Apple Inc., the best computer maker. --69.115.9.165 23:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Wow thats buyfar the worst comment ever The I*** dosnt violate any copyrights of apple if they were calling the show Ipod Then apple would sue.--Jwein 22:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Extras

I think this section shuld be called "Trivia" not "Extras" --ERDRGZ 21:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC) Yeah, you're right. It should be Trivia. Signed VeronicaGirl

Characters

I don't know if the teacher played by Sterling is a primary or secondary character so I listed her under secondary for now. Besides the brother, she's the only adult with a semi-important role. Principal doesn't count.  Chantessy  14:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Is The Sutie Comeing To Icarly —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bratzkid20 (talk • contribs) 16:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

14?

I think Nick said she was thirteen. Plus, shows are filmed about a year before they air, so she would be thirteen then. Again, I heard it from Nick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.130.83.211 (talk) 23:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Schedule?

Is that even necessary? WAVY 10 Fan 19:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if it's necessary but it's useful and I think it looks cool :-Þ Ospinad 20:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

You may need to have more than WP:USEFUL or WP:ILIKEIT in order to satisfy some admins. Personally, I would prefer that the airings be mentioned in the actual text (and certainly not with those colors). WAVY 10 Fan 20:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Those colors are hideous! This is wikipedia, not "My first Geocities page". Something a bit more professional would be nice. Agiorgio 11:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Fansites

People keep on adding fansites to the external links, and they should not be there. No one seems to be getting the message. Please help. Tenk you veddy much. --Wack'd ^{Talk to me! • Admire my handiwork!} 11:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Why no fan sites? I think they are a part of what should be added as external links. Some of these sites contain items like vid captures, photos, and other tidbits of info you won't find anywhere else. The presence of them also shows how popular a show is. If you're not going to have them then change the directory heading to Offical Site Links. Ajhunt 13:22, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Mostly because fansites do not meet the wikipedia requirements of being a reliable source of information (WP:RS). Too much rumor, speculation and just incorrect information in them to used. Also wikipedia is not a links directory (WP:NOT#LINK). The external links don't need to be "official". They just need to be to things that are reliable but can't be in wikipedia because of formatting or other practical concerns. If the content can be in the article, the content should be and the link used as a reference, not an external link. (WP:LINKS) --NrDg 14:16, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

The external links don't need to be "official". They just need to be to things that are reliable

Wha? Do you know what official means? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Megagents (talk • contribs) 14:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Fansites don't count as references, and they do not belong in the External Links section. The only fansites that could be put there are official fansites, i.e. endorsed by Nickolodeon or the creator of iCarly. Armiris (talk) 03:25, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Episodes

I tink there shouldn't be an episode list on this article when there is a main article with the list.71.106.95.68 02:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE EPISODES LIST?!!!

I think there should be an episode list but it should be expanded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonapello22 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I added the Episode list(Jonapello22 (talk) 20:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

OMG what the heck happened to it, i did so much work (Jonapello22 (talk) 20:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC))

I fixed it (Jonapello22 (talk) 20:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC))

Nobody touch the episode list, it cites that it is from the iCarly Episode list page so why keep deleting it? (Jonapello22 (talk) 20:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC))

I deleted it because that information is totally redundant with the episode list article. The purpose of an list of episodes article is to REMOVE that information from the main article. I you have episode information to add, put it in the proper article. --NrDg 21:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Well please stop there is nothing wrong, well i you have doesnt make sense but i guess i dont have episode information. Please stop editing these episodes, they arent even offending you so please stop. (Jonapello22 (talk) 21:20, 18 February 2008 (UTC))

We have an article called List of iCarly episodes. The purpose of that article is to list all the episode information and remove it from the main article. This is the way Wikipedia organizes show articles. That article is like an other page to this article. Episode information DOES NOT BELONG in this article. It must go where it belongs. It will continue to be removed from this article if it gets added back. Please spend your time and efforts on improving the proper article for the information you have. --NrDg 21:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

"Sam"

What I don't understand is at the end of "Sam"'s description they say in the epidoe "Trapped in The Closet" they reviele Sam's a Lesbian, yet there is no such episode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.188.156 (talk) 22:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Are you referring to the Halloween episode or the episode when they're spying on their Teacher?

Either way, Sam's not a lesbian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Megagents (talk • contribs) 20:18, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

It's apparentally been already taken away from the article, since I don't see it, but i just want to say it's obviously vandalism. --96.231.22.134 (talk) 23:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Spin off?

iCarly is in the category "Television spin-offs". Is it a spin-off though? I know Miranda Cosgrove plays Megan in Drake and Josh but in iCarly she plays Carly. It's a completly different character. Is iCarly a spin-off of something else and I'm just not aware? There is no mention in the article of it being a spin-off. So if it is, someone should include that in the article, and if it is not, someone should take it out of the "spin-off" category. --Melboy (talk) 20:28, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Its only a spinoff because of spencer who was crazy steve in drake and josh which because of the two characters led it to be believed as a spinoff, but yes i agree it shouldnt be a spinoff. (Jonapello22 (talk) 20:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC))

Carly Shay fansites

carlyshay.webs.com is one of the best places to go to for iCarly info! millions of people go on it EVERYDAY! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.104.30.179 (talk) 05:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Seattle?

The show takes place in Seattle but i am psitive it was recorded in LA. Well, I am not sure, but I am going to find more, of what to put down. I'll see other shows and where it says it takes place. JMC.me (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Samantha "Sam" Puckett

What happened to the Samantha "Sam" Puckett section? Armiris (talk) 03:21, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Hidden appearances

Should the 'Hidden Appearances' section be renamed to 'Trivia'? Armiris (talk) 03:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Sam Jewish?

I'm not saying whether or not I agree with the statement saying that Sam may be Jewish, but if she is seen with a Star of David necklace (which I have never seen) she most likely is Jewish. I'm a Reform Jew and I eat non-kosher things all the time.
