Suppose I'll handle this as well. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 11:00, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Alright, here we go!

In the episode, SpongeBob got stranded in an aphotic zone called Rock Bottom. "got" -> "becomes" per WP:TENSE

The cliff leads to a sort of aphotic zone called Rock Bottom, inhabited by multiple strange deep-sea animals. Remove the "sort of"

Williams cited the episode as "so small that you could explore gags and opportunities for gags." I'm not sure "cited" is the best word here. The source just says "It was so small that you could explore gags and opportunities for gags." so try Williams said the episode was "so small that you could explore gags and opportunities for gags."

Nancy Basile of the About.com drop the superfluous "the"

Estep remarked she mentioned made the episode "so well-remembered." This doesn't make sense.

The episode "Rock Bottom" Since this an article about the episode, you can drop the "the episode" as there's not going to be any confusion over what it is.
Done. Mediran (t • c) 23:53, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
The ride based on the series first opened remove the "based on the series" - it's obvious

That's it. On hold now. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 14:12, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you on reviewing this article. I know the article is so short but still I know this can make it to GA. Thanks! Mediran (t • c) 23:53, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

The entire plot section is a piece by piece recollection of the episode, with several unnecessary details about the plot, as well as numerous run-on sentences. I want to reach a consensus before I try to declutter the article. Anyone against this?Club On a Sub 20 (talk) 18:46, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, this SpongeBob article is of very good quality as well as the episode itself. However, the "Reception" section needs to be complemented more. I have already removed the About.com source because it is not reliable on Wikipedia and is even blacklisted. I suggest putting the following sources [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Additionally, a "Legacy" section (or something similar) could be added, as the episode's setting has reappeared in video games such as SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated or SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, source: [6] [7] [8]. That is why I will call on user @Zingo156: to do the same as Sailor Mouth and improve the article. 181.78.209.203 (talk) 18:43, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

It seems I haven't received a response from the user, so I'll call @Zingo156: to sort this out. Also, the introduction could be expanded further to make it look more complete. 181.78.209.206 (talk) 18:15, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
I mean to say "I'm on it" Zingo156 (talk) 07:28, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
@Zingo156: Great job on the reception, but before I can give it a thumbs up, there are two things left to do. First, the introduction needs to be expanded, as it is very bland and basic. More information could be added to the article about how the episode was created, which some critics and fans consider the episode to be dark, the thematic attraction could be added, and the games that feature the episode’s setting could be mentioned. Second, a subsection could be added to the “Other Media” section to mention the video games that feature the episode’s setting, such as SpongeBob: Employee of the Month, SpongeBob: The Yellow Avenger, [SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, and SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake, to further round out the article and make it much more complete. 181.78.78.233 (talk) 21:07, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

I will get to it Zingo156 (talk) 07:47, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
@Zingo156: One last thing I recently found that may be useful to complement the “production” section is this interview with Mr. Lawrence that talks a little about the inspiration for the episode. Well, that’s all, I won’t bother you any more, I hope you do what I told you above and this and the article can improve a lot. 181.78.209.203 (talk) 18:17, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
@Zingo156: I'm here to remind you if you're going to make the corrections I mentioned above in the article to improve it. I'm telling you this because I see you haven't done them. 181.78.78.232 (talk) 18:15, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Oh by the way I have not forgotten. I am just busy with an assignment. Zingo156 (talk) 19:44, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
@Zingo156: I'm here to remind you if you're going to make the corrections. Anyway, I'm not going to rush you; this is just a warning. 186.103.39.213 (talk) 18:15, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
