# Talk:Pickle Rick

@Popcornduff,   Bilorv: the plot section is down to 472 words. Bilorv and I have reduced its length by 143 words. According to the Hemingway app, we have reduced reading time from 2:35 to 1:53, and reduced readability from Grade 11 to Grade 7. Do you think that's enough to remove the "long plot" banner? Jack N. Stock (talk) 04:30, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Yep, good job. I removed the tag.
I haven't seen the show so I can't comment in detail but the summary could probably still use some trimming from a copyediting perspective. Is it important to the plot that a scene happens during the credits? Sounds like an editing detail to me. Is it necessary to quote dialogue? Etc. But it's below the word limit and that's what the tag was about. Popcornduff (talk) 04:35, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
One of the features of the show is a scene after the credits in each episode, and that piano scene is used in the opening credits for the entire season, so it is significant. I agree we could trim further, but for me it has reached a point of diminished returns. It's time to leave it for someone else to edit. Thanks for removing the tag! Jack N.

Are we not even addressing the Asian-facing pure white washing of Doctor Wong, an Asianx character being voiced by a white? This is seriously not cool, 1950's era racism and needs its own controversy section, will begin writing later. I challenge any POC to voice their disapproval with this, non-POC opinions are not welcome here 218.215.116.200 (talk) 05:40, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

(Not a POC.)
Hi, and thanks for your comment. At the time I created the article I wasn't aware that Wong was voiced by a white person (I had never heard of Susan Sarandon and didn't really investigate). Controversy sections are not appropriate in Wikipedia because negative material should not be segregated, but incorporated into the article throughout – see WP:CSECTION (if you see one in another article then you should rewrite the content). The first source you provide is not reliable because it is (I believe) a blog hosted by one professional but with no editorial team. IndieWire is good, however, and I've found this Polygon source. Here's the edit I've made to introduce these sources into "Production": Special:Diff/991918593.
Let me know if you have any questions, or reword some of the material yourself. Notice, however, that all content in Wikipedia should be attributed to a published, reliable source, so we cannot report criticism unless the criticism is published by some group which has a rigorous editorial process. This comes with its own racial issues but that is a limitation of Wikipedia. — Bilorv (talk) 14:41, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Vulture should link to Vulture (website) since it is the website version of a magazine.

The award table should be formatted for accessibility to screen readers. As a result, move the scope row to the "Award" category (see here).

Is that true? I could be getting mixed up between sources, but I don't think I've ever hit a paywall or article limit on Vulture. — Bilorv (talk) 13:34, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

@Bilorv: Great work; passing the article.  Interesting article to expand and an interesting read overall. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 02:08, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

I mean there's a wikipedia page about Rick Sanchez so wouldn't it be better if rather it saying "Rick Sanchez C137" and redirecting to a thing that says "page not created", it says Rick Sanchez and redirects to the Rick Sanchez page or at least just redirects to the Rick Sanchez page? I feel like the C137 part is useless like anyone with common sense knows it's not freaking pencil Rick or something dumb like that. NickDavis69 (talk) 09:58, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey so I made a wikipedia account with this name just so I could make it clear what I think and also so my IP Address isn't shown, anyways, no. We should not change what Rick is referred in the first paragraph. It is not clear that Rick isn't another Rick. It could be any Rick. It could be Rick Prime. It could be C-131 Rick. It could be Rick D. Sanchez III. Also, it seems that if you have lied to make yourself seem more in the right. Pencil Rick was never a character in Rick And Morty. Maybe you got all various versions of Rick mixed up with Pencilvester, but I don't care. You should check your claims before making false statements in a thing suggesting something that could make a Wikipedia article very different. Also, this article already has multiple repeated links easily making it one of the most repetitive Wikipedia articles of all time. Making it say Rick in the first paragraph and redirect to Rick's Wikipedia page would easily make it the most repetitive Wikipedia page of all time. Besides being their for lore reasons, it's also their to make this article not even more bad. RickisfromC137 (talk) 17:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
