[edit] Obsession,Uncle Sherm's Visit,DJ Patrick

Since we have added Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VII, I think it would be nessecary to add DJ Patrick(definetly real), Uncle Sherm's Visit(probably real), and Obsession(maybe real). Obsession is probably real because I read that All That Glitters was supposed to be Obsession and they needed it for a new episode. So, don't delete these episodes when you see them.--Patrickrox11 01:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Parickrox11

Yeah, we should add them because they say it's real in most forums. --MacintoshApple 06:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think DJ Patrick and Uncle Sherm's Visit are real. They were added to the tv.com list of episodes because someone in their forums made a topic where he/she made up a lot of episodes for fun. But apparently someone thought they were real so put it in the list (on tv.com)

They can be added now but once Season 4 Volume 2 comes out the real episodes will be revealed.

We really can't add that episode because it's not real. If they are real give a source. And if the source is a forum, it's not that much proof. --Reeler 04:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Uncle Sherm's visit is definitely real. See http://sponge-info.de/ .

[edit] The Best Day Ever

Ok, It seems that The Best Day Ever is 15 minutes long so there will be another new 15 episode that will air along side it once it airs.

Can I add the other episode slot since The Best Day Ever is really half of an episode?

Yeah, I think we should. I heard that there may be a second part to it called "Gift of Gum." I agree and I think it would good to.--Patrickrox11 18:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Patrickrox11

[edit] real episodes

Born to be wild and best frenemies are real episodes. check out the german website, they have the whole episode (in german) on the site. :| 74.130.7.136 21:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TVwiki?

I see a lot more episodes on TVwiki than here...[1] ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia]] 22:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

They are definetaly fake. Some people obviously vandilized the whole page, so someone is going to have to use VandalProof. And this stuff looks older anyway. They still haven't posted any true episodes after Dunces and Dragons. And they say SpongeBob has an eighth season confirmed and they have episodes that if they are real, they are probably still on the drawing board.

[edit] DJ Patrick/Uncle Sherm's Visit

These episodes ARE real. I'll give you a link and see what you think and then I'll post them.[2] [3]--Patrickrox11 22:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Patrickrox11

You can explore that forum,too.--Patrickrox11 22:14, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Patrickrox11

Let's add them! but only if you are sure they are real. --SpongeBobBoy 12:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

NOT REAL!!!!! --66.233.247.12 18:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the IP address on this one. I've read over at TV.com that DJ Patrick is supposed to be a made-up episode that someone submitted on the episode list. It had something to do with payback and the former editor of the guide on TV.com. The person who made up DJ Patrick admitted it himself. Squirepants101 20:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Patrickrox11. If you check out the Sponge Info.de episode list you can see the list says that DJ Patrick, and Uncle Sherm's Visit is real!!!! But, DJ Patrick doesn't exsist anymore. AND they put the deleted template on Uncle Sherm's Visit. But luckily, Uncle Sherm's Visit WILL be undeleted!!! And maybe the're not going to bring the page back until it actually aired on television. I can re-create DJ Patrick but we're going have to wait for the administrators to bring back Uncle Sherm's Visit. Zany zacky ^{(talk • contribs)}

[edit] Episode List

I have changed the episode list a bit because Wigstruck airs with Bummer Vacation and Squidtastic Voyage airs with That's No Lady.

I'd like to tell you that Bummer Vacation airs first and Wigstruck airs second. Zany zacky 16:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC) ^{(talk • contribs)}

[edit] Storyboards

There are many episodes that are made on storyboards as you probably know. However, only a little bit of them make it into episodes. So, if you think about it, there could very well be a storyboard for "Uncle Sherm's Visit" and I think there may be one. So it could be an episode, but before we add it, let's wait until it gets confirmed by nick.de.

[edit] Copyvio

• What is going on here? Who violated it? -AMK152 21:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

It seems that some of the episodes summaries (especially the season four episodes at the bottom of the episode list) were copied from TV.com's season four episode list, although there could be the possibility that some of these summaries could have been submitted here first, then submitted to TV.com. Squirepants101 21:52, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Can't we just change them? The entire article isn't copyvio. -AMK152 02:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

• I remember submitting some of the summaries here on Wikipedia to TV.com, so it might be all my fault. --SpongeSebastian 02:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tempory Page

Talk:List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes/Temp - I removed all copyvios. When can we be allow to bring this over to the actual page? -AMK152 02:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. Chick Bowen 03:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reformatted part of the article

I reformatted season one to help trim this article's size down and it worked. It does not say the article is too long anymore. Even though this article's size is less, the other seasons would need reformatting to prevent this article from becoming too large. Squirepants101 23:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why are users changing Born to be Wild to Burn to be Wild?

I've noticed that some users are changing Born to be Wild to Burn to be Wild. It's actually Born to be Wild according to the credits. To see the credits, go to this link and watch Best Frenemies. When you hit 10:32 (in minutes) on Windows Media Player, the credits show the cast for each episode and in big capital letters, it reads, "Born to be Wild." Squirepants101 01:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unfinished Episodes

I am going to search for unfinished episodes of Spongebob. Then, I suggest that we should make an unfinished episode section on the episode page.--Patrickrox11 15:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Patrickrox11

[edit] deleting the other images

wasn't the article fine with the title cards in season 2,3, and 4? I don't get what was so wrong.--Chikinpotato11 05:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

• I think the page was too big.--Patrickrox11 16:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Patrickrox11

Yeah, I think it was because the page was getting to big. --Reeler 04:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title Cards note

Hello Mr. Patrickrox11, or Chikinpotato11 i think that the title cards are just fine with every title card on all the seasons. I think that maybe u can leave it alone. thank you. Zany zacky. If you have questions post in on my talk page.

[edit] Protected?

Should this page be protected because some users have disagreed with this "new" format for season 1 and keep trying to change it back to the way it was. This article is also becoming a breeding ground for vandalism (look at all the fake episodes users have been adding recently) even with the warning posted on season 4. Squirepants101 13:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow.

Does anyone else find it interesting that we are missing articles on great literary classics, yet we have an archive of spongebob squarepants epsiodes with a seperate synopsis for each one? Unnessicary, much? --ABigBlackMan 14:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't really see what's the problem here since you can actually create some of these articles about literary classics. Besides, other T.V. show articles have their own episode list article and even articles about the episodes themselves. There are are even Wikiprojects exclusive to episode list articles, and episode articles. Squirepants101 22:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

What are those literary clasics? I know that the article on Little Women is just over a stub, but is there nonetheless. ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia]] 23:26, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Would suggest the episode articles are merged into a single article for each season. Addhoc 13:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New DVD, New Episodes...

Here are new episodes from season 5

• 81 Rise And Shine / Waiting / Fungus Among Us
• 83.Friend or Foe
• 84.Night Light / The Original Fry Cook
• 85.Spy Buddies

source:[4]

re: the 2nd sentence in the 1st paragraph of this article:

"there have been a total of 77½ episodes (158 individual) to date..."

would it be better to say:

"there have been a total of 77½ shows (158 individual episodes) to date..."

Atomicpuffball 16:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't freakin matter.--Chikinpotato11 19:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unlock

Unlock this page right now!

Umm...exactly why do you want this page to be unprotected. If the page was unprotected, then the users who contribute to this page would have to deal with the heavy vandalism again (adding fake episodes, etc.). By the way, if you want this page to be unprotected, go to WP:RFP and make a request there...with a reason. Squirepants101 22:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

This isn't about fake episodes this time, it's about aritlces about some episodes using "SpongeBob SquarePants" instead of "SpongeBob SquarePants episode". The only reason why I want this page to be unprotected is because I can't edit something when it's protected.

[edit] Spelling/Grammar

I have noticed that in many of the episode descriptions, people have been using incorrect spelling/grammar. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but I have seen three or four cases of this per description. Just saying that maybe you want to check over your spelling/grammar.

[edit] Fake Seasons

There are no confirmed 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 seasons. Also, some of these episodes I can tell are fake, especially the ones that are just sequels to previous episodes.

• Actually, a season 6 has been confirmed.--SpongeSebastian 07:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New SpongeBob Episodes Airing in the US!

On President's Day, they are airing a Patrick marathon +3 new episodes from 7-8:30.

Source: http://www.cabletvtalk.com/showthread.php?t=4138 I'll post the air dates because these are probably them:

Driven to Tears/Rule of Dumb

Born to Be Wild/Best Frrenemies

The Pink Purloiner/Squid Wood

--Patrickrox11 16:14, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Patrickrox11

[edit] (SpongeBob SquarePants episode) Vs (SpongeBob SquarePants)

According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television), an episode page that is the same name of another article, should have ONLY the show's title name in parenthesis. The only time the addition "episode" is added is when the episode title is the same name of a character or object in the show. --SpongeSebastian 02:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC) What about the episode "Doodlebob Returns".

[edit] Requested moves

[edit] Betos00, CRWXTr7, CRWXT, and WzMG5LJ are all sockpuppets

Just to let the editors of this page know, all those users are sockpuppets. See User:WzMG5LJ for more information about this. He claims that he is from Guatemala and claims that he's trying to "help" Wikipedia by adding possible episodes to this page (and quite a few other articles). Note: He knows that these episodes he's adding are fake, so the warnings might not work against him. Squirepants101 01:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC) actually CRWXT is not from WzMG5LJ

[edit] Season 5 already started?

It says in the article that some of the episodes from the presidents' day thing are part of Season 5. I haven't heard that announced or anything. It seems like vandalism to me, but I didn't delete them because I'm not completely sure.

Yeah. Those episodes are from Season 5. They aren't on the Season 4 DVD's, so they must be from Season 5. --Patrickrox11 00:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)Patrickrox11

[edit] Let's trim the captions errors please...

It seems to me that much is made of the caption errors in the Spongebob episode Trivia sections.

In my opinion, caption errors are too trivial even for the trivia section -- most TV shows have them, yet you don't see them mentioned on other TV show Wikipedia articles.

I vote for getting rid of all of 'em -- what say ye? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kwantem (talk • contribs) 21:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

I agree. I brought this up at WP:SBSP but no one responded. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 22:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Descriptions

I've been noticing that a few of the one or two sentence descriptions for the episodes on this list that I've been making a bit more easy to understand have been either reverted back to what was there before or replaced with descriptions that are more vague. I was just wondering why that was happening.

--Tiria 12:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Get rid of all the images/screenshots in this article

They are taking up much of the article's space. According to Wikipedia's fair use policy, the ammount of copyrighted work should be used as little as possible and that images should contribute significantly to the article. It seems that these images are being used solely for a decorative purpose (squint your eyes and you can see that this article is just an image gallery with words in it). As one editor put it, this article is a giant fair-use disaster. Squirepants101 16:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Also if these images were removed, the page may load better. Squirepants101 16:26, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll try to remove them sometime. I might replace them with screenshots of the actual episode.--SpongeSebastian 03:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I think the title cards made the page look better. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 03:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

      • If he knows, then he should know what I'm trying to ask. FictionH 23:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
        • I believe FictionH wants the article to be unprotected. Please file a request at WP:RFP for that. {{editprotected}} is used to request edits to a page. — Malcolm^{Use the schwartz!} 00:37, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
          • However, it will probably be better to wait for the protection to expire (April 4), as it was protected only a few days ago. — Malcolm^{Use the schwartz!} 00:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
            • I agree with Malcolm. It is better to wait for the protection to expire. Once this page is unprotected, though, vandals will start coming back here adding vandalism, hoaxes, and misinformation and it will eventually result in this page being protected once more. It has happened several times at this article. Squirepants101 00:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
• Fiction, I was wondering what you wanted to be edited on this page. Is there a mispelling or something? -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 01:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

    • SpongeSebastian, see WP:PROT and you will find out what it is. Squirepants101 12:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Well first of all, Season 5 says 2007-2008. However, it should say 2007-TBA. Next, there are some episodes that are confirmed to be real and I wanna put them on. FictionH 23:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
        • It was okay to change 2008 to TBA since it was unconfirmed, anyways. It is also okay to add those confirmed episodes as long as you cite a reliable source. Otherwise, the episodes would be reverted. Squirepants101 23:33, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
