Racism in the show
Why isn't there any analysis of the racism in the show?
All Caucasian main characters, side characters mostly Caucasian too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.4.149.10 (talk) 16:02, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

In the section "Characters", it states that Phoebe, played by Lisa Kudrow, lived in uptown New York until the age of 12 when her mother killed herself. This is incorrect, because she was 14 when her mother killed herself. It would be helpful for all readers if this mistake was corrected. 99.122.116.249 (talk) 08:16, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Changed Phoebes age when her mum committed suicide
I changed her age from 12, to "Around 13" to line up with the information listed on Pheobe's Buffays wikipedia page. They should at least be consistant.
This also lines up closer with the info on http://friends.wikia.com/wiki/Lily_Buffay
I realise neither of these are proper sources, but There is absolutely no reason to list 3 separate ages. So until we can find some actual evidence (im looking for it) we should attempt to be consistent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.163.214 (talk) 12:01, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
Is No. of episodes 236 or 238?
Which is correct No. of episodes is 236 or 238? It is written as 238 in Interview of Gunther. --Bcxfu75k (talk) 10:00, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
There was a major sexual harassment lawsuit against the show, based on happenings in the writers' room. This needs to go in.Pokey5945 (talk) 23:17, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- You mean the lawsuit that was thrown out in a unanimous decision because it was utterly baseless? I don't think a single disgruntled employee's dismissed lawsuit qualifies as "a major sexual harassment lawsuit". It was a frivolous lawsuit and the judges found that everything the woman had issues with was simply part of the creative process required for writing a TV show aimed at adults. --auburnpilot talk 01:28, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
Edit
Opening paragraph, "Many critics now regard it as one of the finest shows in television history," If ever, authentication was needed.... a bit too fluffy. Can this be omitted and something more analytical replacing it? eg. "Many reviewers regard it as one of the most popular sitcoms in television history," - AL — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.4.20.128 (talk) 17:43, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Stylization of title
Do you guys think it's necessary to indicate that the title was stylized as F•R•I•E•N•D•S? Personally I would remove it because I think it feels bulky and repetitive in the article. I'd like to hear opinions on this because I know if I removed it someone would revert the edit. What does the stylization add to the article? CityMorgue (talk) 23:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- That's not repetitive at all it's only in the first sentence of the article. And yeah is need because some people (less knowledged about Wikipedia) would wonder why that's not the actual title of the article. — Tomíca(T2ME) 00:17, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response Tomica. However, I can't believe that people would have a hard time understanding that title design in the opening credits is simply a visual logo for the show and not the way it would be written/referred to as. I think people can comprehend that. But I respect your opinion. I still think it looks weird and out of place. CityMorgue (talk) 02:53, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- That's not out of place at all. Just look at bunch of articles, examples "You and I (Lady Gaga song)", Rated R: Remixed etc etc. — Tomíca(T2ME) 09:22, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- I agree with the decision to remove it- it came across as a little silly, but more importantly as misleading, since the dots were (to me) obviously just graphical design flourishes and not part of the name itself! With something like M*A*S*H, the asterisks were a part of the title and reproduced that way in (e.g.) TV listings. I've never seen Friends referred to that way anywhere outside the article.

Season 11 Is it true?
I have heard that the 11th season is going to come. Is this true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.219.201.75 (talk) 06:27, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- No, it has been stated quite clearly by the creators that it isn't. --AussieLegend (✉) 11:42, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Greene, not Green
Rachel's last name is spelled "Greene", not "Green". There is a sign on her office door at Bloomingdale's with her name on it, and it clearly says "Greene", NOT "Green". I changed it, but it was reverted back to the original spelling. Olsentwinluv4ever (talk) 23:00, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- The spelling of Rachel's last name is inconsistent. Yes, it is spelled "Greene' on her door but other sources show it as "Green". This is explained in the "Surname" section of Rachel Green.
- "Some inconsistency in the spelling of the surname has led to confusion as to the correct spelling. The credits of any episode where her parents appeared list their last name as "Green" and on the Warner Bros. Friends Official Website the biography on Jennifer Aniston states her character's name as Rachel Green. However, in certain episodes it is seen to be spelled "Greene" such as when her name was written on an invitation sent out by Ross and a subsequent RSVP. Finally, Jennifer Aniston confirmed that the name Green was spelled: G-R-E-E-N."
- For these reasons, we use "Green". --AussieLegend (✉) 03:44, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

The show currently airs in India in a channel called "Romedy Now" on weekdays at 8p.m in english along with english subtitles.
122.167.215.239 (talk) 17:34, 11 June 2014 (UTC)Vikramraj (viku20072000) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.215.239 (talk) 17:31, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Do you have a reliable source for that? --AussieLegend (✉) 20:09, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I have a reliable source, the channel's official website: http://www.romedynow.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.202.241 (talk) 13:19, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
I think that the whole International section in this article is unnecessary. The show has been aired all over the world and there is only few countries mentioned... But one would say that Wikipedia is never finished. --Cary (talk) 20:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
Mundo Estranho
Mundo Estranho is an obscure Brazilian teen magazine. Considering the weakness of this source, their rating of Friends among other shows is not worthy of inclusion in the intro section, and was probably planted by a Mundo Estranho employee or fan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.10.195.14 (talk) 22:10, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Phoebe - a schizophrenic?
Is she? In one episode she said (after loud noize had stopped) that she finally hear voices in her head again. Is that a symptom of schizophrenia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.34.204.94 (talk) 01:41, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Ratings
This edit promoted me to verify all of the figures in the ratings table but it appears that the source used for all ratings is self-published and therefore not usable. I initially tagged the figures with {{better source}} but investigation has shown that, prior to these edits on 21 October 2013 a better source existed. For that reason, and since this article is GA, I have reverted the table to that version. This required reverting other edits made in October 2014,[1] as they were based on the self-published source. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:34, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- Both sources seem self-published/non-official but the one you re-added has some inconsistencies in relation to other shows. For example, This source lists the Seinfeld season 6 audience figure as 19.6 million when it's actually 30.06 million. Another inconsistency is that the same source given above ranks Friends season 1 at #9 when this one, like the other one, ranks it at #8. Another thing I want to point out is that the source you removed is very accurate though it may be self published. Here is an official list of the season 1 ratings of Friends and Here is the same exact figures on the "self published" source. The other source was more accurate with the ratings so I'm going to revert it.Annvarie (talk) 01:14, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
- We can't use self-published sources as references at all, regardless of whether or not they seem accurate, so reverting to the later version isn't a useful option if it is based on a self-published source. Removing that source, as is necessary, leaves us only with figures for the most watched episodes. I have removed the citation from the SPS and the figures that were sourced from that site. They can only be restored if they are supported with citations from reliable sources. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:21, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Salary math is not adding up
In the section titled 'Cast the following claim is stated:
- "The cast members received different salaries in the second season, beginning from the $20,000 range to $40,000 per episode.[24][25] Before their salary negotiations for the third season, the cast decided to enter collective negotiations, despite Warner Bros.' preference for individual deals.[26] The actors were given the salary of the least-paid cast member, meaning Aniston and Schwimmer had their salaries reduced. The stars were paid $75,000 per episode in season three..."
If Schwimmer and Aniston were paid were paid $40,000 per episode in season 2, and then are paid $75,000 during season 3, how is that having their "salary reduced"? The citations used in that section do not seems to explain this detail at all.--JOJ Hutton 16:16, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Inconsistency
Phoebe claims in season 2, The One Where Old Yeller Dies, that she had never seen the Disney movie, Bambi, but in season 6, The One Where Chandler Can't Cry she said that she "cried for three days after that." But then goes on to say "No, 2.

Reunion 2016
This actually happened last year. But its been reverted. An editorhas een revertiving my edits (they say it's my responsibility to fix or leave it out) but do thye mean that in wording? Do I need more sources? I just don't know. I intend to revert his own edits because it is true (search on Youtube please) and because I think it might be useful to advance the discussion. I didn't want to use youtube as a source becase at some point in future it may be taken down. I told the editor we could work on a compromise but they were not willing. Best wishes.

Rumors section
Should the rumors section be in the article? I feel like it should be removed. Per WP:RUMOUR, it states "Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content." What do you guys think? Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a hollywood gossip rag. -Xcuref1endx (talk) 19:51, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
Ratings Chart
If someone knows how to make one, is it possible to add a ratings bar chart on the Ratings section of the page? - XtremeNerdz12

- Partly done. I imagine your issue is that the link we have is dead; the problem is, there's nothing at your link to indicate this page is the official website. I Googled
"Friends" "official website"
and"Friends" "official site"
and couldn't find anything so I just removed the dead link. CityOfSilver 18:44, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing?
At the time of GA review (and not much has changed), this article included the text When Matt LeBlanc auditioned for Joey, he put a "different spin" on Joey. The writers did not originally intend for Joey to be dim, but found it to be a major source of comedy. LeBlanc also gave the character heart, which the writers did not realize Joey had.
This seems to me to be much too close for comfort to the source's Matt LeBlanc put a different spin on Joey, when he auditioned. ... When we wrote it, I don’t think we realized that Joey was dim, and that was going to be a major source of comedy. ... And that he had heart.
Moving a subordinate clause from the end of the sentence to the start and putting quotation marks around two words when literally every other word of the sentence is quoted is not generally considered acceptable.
I hate accessing entertainment news sources because of the loading times, but how much of the rest of this article's text is plagiarized? (I only noticed this because the word "dim" didn't seem like the kind of word a Wikipedian would come up with for this article had the source said "an idiot" or some such; I checked and found nearly the entire sentence, and much of the following two sentences, to be listed almost word-for-word.)
