message: There was some prose greebling in the article; I've removed it.  Namely:
: For some definitions in relation to Greeble, Protrusions are Panels, and Nurnies are Widgets.

message: Whoever added that image may want to upload it again, as it seems to have vanished.  I just commented out the tag to clean up the page a tiny bit.

thread_title:  Missing image (greeble_city.gif) 

message: I've read both articles, and I can't find any difference between the two (except their names). How about if we merge the two and mention both names? Peter S. 23:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging Greeble and Nurnie? 

message: Greebles in Gauthier's paper is totally different from the main picture. 
I think this greeble and that greeble is totally different, so we might upload another picture for Gauthier's greebles, OR we might create an article for Gauthier's greebles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Janviermichelle (talk • contribs).
:I agree, I've added a Split tag. Unless someone knows of a reason they should remain together (was one inspired by the other? or just same name arrived at independently?), then they should/can be split. --Quiddity 06:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Greebles in visual processing and face recognition

message: Though the article gives credit to Ron Thornton for coining the term "nurnies", the term existed before that. In the movie Short Circuit 2, the sentient robot Johnny 5 is enlisted to help assemble miniature toy versions of himself. While giving a demonstration of his assembly capabilities, he utters the line "don't forget the nurnies!"
It is possible that this doesn't refer to quite the same thing, but being that he is assembling toys with basic capabilities (such as rolling/track motion an limb movements) it is likely that they would have added superficial detail parts whose sole purpose is to enhance their visual appeal - the nurnies.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.95.227.78 (talk) 17:13, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of the word "nurnies" 

message: I edited out some redundant and meaningless statements from the first paragraph, such as They serve no real purpose and cause the flow of the eye over the surface of the object to be interrupted (i suppose you have to puncture the eye first, to have it flow like that?), etc. Please verify. 91.189.74.35 (talk) 10:24, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edited for clarity 

message: Throughout the article there is an inconsistency of use of plural and singular forms of both 'greeble/greebles' and 'nurnie/nurnies'. If both forms are correct and refer to the same thing, this should be mentioned in the beginning of the article. If not - it should be described how the singular is different from the plural. 91.189.74.35 (talk) 10:24, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nice article. Now where shall we add "Azteking"? 

message: "Greeble" is apparently mostly a misunderstanding/mispronunciation, according to what I've read. While it may be in use at this point, it's not the original/correct term, and we should really be documenting the true history of the word here.
According to a 14-year ILM employee:
The rest of the thread, among others like it, is informative. For instance, that same post indicates that "nurnies" may also be spelled "nernies", at least by some industry people.
Also noteworthy, "greeble" can apparently be used, but as the verb form, i.e. to greeble something is to add greeblies to it, e.g. "Hey Adam, have you greebled that ship yet?"

thread_title:  As someone said above, this page should indeed be "greebly", not "greeble".
