text: ok... I don't remember, but I'll ask at the WikiProject... - Adolphus79 05:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

text: reading the article just now, it says he has been the long-time mayor, re-elected several times, so it's not really wrong... if you are sure it is 6, be bold and make the fix... just make sure to cite the episode name... check the List of The Simpsons episodes if you need help... - Adolphus79 05:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

text: remember, you are dealing with The Simpsons, never expect a number to stay the same between 2 episodes... like I said, if you can cite the episode, then feel free to edit the article, once again, Be Bold... - Adolphus79 05:07, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there a source for the origin of the "Diamond Joe" part of Quimby's name, or is this just speculation? If the latter the folk song "Diamond Joe" (about a guy with Quimby-like characteristics) + Quimby Street seems a more likely source than "Diamond" Jim Purcell + Quimby Street.

message: Am I the only one who sees the statement that Sen. Edward Kennedy is a frequent womanizer as unsourced, POV and an extreme violation of BLP?  Unless someone provides a compelling rationale soon I will remove it. Msalt (talk) 16:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The source for him being based on Ted Kennedy only says "He is believed to be the inspiration behind Joe Quimby." Is there a real source saying that Quimby is a parody specifically of Ted instead of the Kennedys in general?--May Cause Dizziness (talk) 23:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

message: It looks like Mayor Joe Quimby attempted to run for President of the United States back in 2000. I found some info about the fictional campaign while searching the web and found some stuff on Internet Archive. Would it be appropriate to add some info regarding Quimby's presidential run to the article? I'll provide the links below as proof of my finds and provide what the links describe.

thread_title: Mayor Quimby's 2000 Presidential Run

message: I dont think "Joseph Fitzgerald O'Malley Fitzpatrick O'Donnell The Edge Quimby" is his actual name as it's only mentioned once in one episode i think he we as trying just say it as some sorta fake promo. citing one episode should not be grounds to say that his his name. It's a bit like with Peter Griffin on family guy when it turned out for one episode his real first name was "Justin" 82.41.54.27 (talk) 10:55, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that can be compared. Family Guy is known for rewriting canon on the fly for the purpose of jokes. The Simpsons usually doesn't do that. For example, Comic Book Guy's real name is also only mentioned once but later his wife is seen sharing his last name. Also, unlike Family Guy, there is no reason to doubt this is his full name, since there are no other episodes that contradict it. Plus, he is a caricature of certain Irish-American politicians, so it makes sense his name contains a lot of Irish sounding names. A lot of biographies of characters contain information from a single episode/book/etc., so unless there is reason to assume it was indeed a one-time joke, we should keep it.
