Semi-protected edit request on October 25, 2018

The lede says Hillenburg is a marine biologist. Hillenburg has only a bachelor's degree in "natural-resource planning and interpretation, with an emphasis on marine resources", and worked in marine science education. As far as I can see, he never did research in the field of marine biology, never was an author on a peer-reviewed paper in the field, etc. He was a science educator, not a marine biologist, and this article should reflect that. I do not have an account and cannot edit this protected page, so request that a registered user make the correction. 73.32.38.72 (talk) 16:55, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Setting before Characters

I think it would be beneficial to move the setting section before the one for characters. Especially for readers unfamiliar with the show's concept, it makes more sense to have a general overview of the setting, plot, and appearance of the show before introducing the individual characters. Additionally, specific examples of locations like Goo Lagoon are mentioned in the character section but not explained/described until the setting section. MOS:TV lists Premise/Synopsis/Overview as coming before a section for characters. Any thoughts on this before I move the sections around myself? --SBSPfan (talk) 03:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which episodes are animated by SEK Studio?

Based on Avatar: The Last Airbender, I guess they must done at least one episode of Season 5 (that's 2007). Yup I never know that SpongeBob was animated in both Koreas. 94.180.92.10 (talk) 13:24, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, Help Wanted looks different and the animation is more fluid than in other episodes, not sure that's SEK Studio (this episode was made in 1997 when America hasn't even dream of outsourcing animation to China and North Korea). Anyway North Korea may have done certain Season 5 episodes (it's hard to tell due to similar animation styles of both Chinas and Koreas). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.180.92.10 (talk) 13:30, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand this question or reasoning. The show's animation has always been provided by Rough Draft in South Korea, and this has never changed. SBSPfan (talk) 00:30, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The words Valentines Day and 2019 don't need to be clicked on to go to their respective page. Could you please fix that? Please. 2601:401:C400:357:64CF:24EE:6ED3:8745 (talk) 23:17, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think VD should be replaced with the neutral wording February 14.--109.166.138.172 (talk) 00:51, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I removed the links to Valentine's Day and 2019 per your suggestion here. Not sure February 14 is better (or worse) than Valentine's Day though so I left that as is. Sakura Cartelet^Talk 20:30, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

VD is NOT a day in the calendar, just a holiday on a particular day, unlike February 14 which is indeed a day in the calendar.--109.166.132.67 (talk) 21:18, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
