[edit] Comments on Peer Review Updates
- Post comments here about the Peer Review Updates. -AMK152 02:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- As of right now, we don't really have a free use image, and there already is an infobox (but could be expanded more.) So basically, this article just needs to be copyedited, in addition to those suggestions that were not automated. -AMK152 02:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bikini Bottom and the city of Los Angeles
There is a statement in the article that Bikini Bottom resembles Los Angeles. The citation for this statement in merely an episode title. This seems wrong. LA is a very crowded city full of sky-rises. SpongeBob's street seems to have wide open spaces. Additionally, the Krusty Krab is in the middle of nowhere. SpongeBob's driving lessons occur on endless streets in a buildingless countryside. I know there are some populated areas with buildings, but it is nothing like LA's overcrowding.--DarkTea 14:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Remove this from the article / New peer review
I think this part of the article should be removed:
[edit] National anthem
Bikini Bottom has its own national anthem, which goes as follows:
- Oh, Bikini Bottom, we pledge our hearts to you,
- As faithful, as deep, as true, as blue,
- Bikini Bottom, we love you!
It's sounds kind of fancrufty for an article that is trying to reach featured article status. Here's a new peer review, since AMK hasn't updated it for months.

Not much has changed since the last peer review. Squirepants101 01:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- The actual words to the anthem don't have to be there, but at least a mention that there is an anthem. -AMK152(Talk • Contributions • Send message) 01:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comments from the new peer review
I've submitted a new peer review for Bikini Bottom and this is what I got so far:
It's far too in universe - it's not enough to just say 'such and such is a fictional...' and then go on in the rest of the article treating it as if it's real. All of your citations are to the show itself - did the creators of the show ever discuss Bikini Bottom in interviews etc.?
Might as well tag this article as being written in an in-universe style, then. I will update this everytime the request for peer review receives a new comment. Squirepants101 12:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
