message: The article lists Kyle's first appearance in the short Jesus vs. Frosty. But, there is no character in that short that resembles Kyle. Should this be changed to Jesus vs. Santa? Andy120290 02:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be more accurate to state that these were characters were BASED on South Park characters.  If you watch the special, "the fat kid" who obviously most closely resembles Cartman, is called Kenny.  And true to form, "Cartman" is killed first.  Although the unnamed child who resembles Kenny except for a visible mouth is the next to die. PatrickLMT (talk) 15:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Kyle was too willing to give up his weapon in "Good Times With Weapons" witch proves if he had time alone he would most likely practice.  I've read that a few times, but it still makes no sense to me.  Can we delete it?
I would say yes since that doesn't make sense to me either. Oh, and sign your post next time. Misteryoshi 11:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weapons 

message: Kyle was fooled by the Blainetologists in The Super Best Friends and by John Edward in The Biggest Douche in the Universe. He also lost faith in God after a single morning's thought in Cartmanland, and tried his damnedest to follow the trends in Chinpokomon. There are probably other examples. If nobody tells me why he's the most rational or logical in a week, I'm taking that out. 152.3.46.147 22:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, fuck it. I don't feel like editing that out. Someone else do it. 152.3.46.147 05:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't need to be edited out, since, as it stands, it's factual.  "Most logical" is a relative term.  A person can behave illogically, but still be more logical than his peers, as long as his peers have a history of behaving even more illogically.  PatrickLMT (talk) 15:55, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "the one who views things the most logically. Since Kyle is the more rational of his peers"? 

message: The part about Kyle's health problems mentions that he was the last to get sick in the Chickenpox episode.  It might be worth mentioning that after his kidney transplant in Cherokee Hair Tampons, Kyle would have been on antirejection drugs, which supress the immune system.  Chickenpox was before the transplant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.8.140.149 (talk) 03:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: They're not identical. The PNG I made has a sad face, and the mittens are a darker green. And I absolutely hate it when someone claims an image of mine is useless. --98E 21:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, they're not identical, but it serves no real purpose.  Would you at least be willing to convert the image to SVG format to meet Wiki's preferred guidelines? Tweeks Coffee 02:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I really have no clue how to change a PNG image right into an SVG image, and besides, I rarely use Inkscape. Is there a tutorial that shows my how to change a MS Paint/Adobe Photoshop PNG into an Inkscape SVG? Only then will I be able to convert it. --98E 22:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You know, I myself haven't attempted to anything with SVGs.  I did locate this tool which is specifically made for converting PNG to SVG.  You can also try SVG tools for other options. Tweeks Coffee 01:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no real way to convert PNG to SVG at the click of a button, as far as I know, due to the way PNG and SVG are created. SVG, or scale vector graphic, uses a series of points to tell the computer how to draw a picture on-the-fly, whereas PNG records the phyischal pixels that the computer must show. So, to convert it, the computer has to work out the individual shapes for the image, and while this isn't actually impossible, it can be quite difficult. You may have to accept that your image cannot be used on Wikipedia. I'm sure there are plenty of fan sites who will be glad to use it with a free licence. Smomo 16:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There's some stuff about jews being steriotypically portrayed as greedy or amoral; I think that this is BS and should be removed. Should I do so? 146.95.224.173 12:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, and I removed it yesterday. Although Jews unfortunately often are portrayed as greedy, it has absloutely nothing to with Kyle's personality. Pointing it out as an anormality every time a fictional Jew is not portrayed as the Jews were stereotyped in the Middle Ages and totalitarian states should not be necessary in a free world. 96T 13:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well you could say Cartman views Kyle and every other Jewish person in South Park as the stereotypical Jew. 72.152.135.75 (talk) 02:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anti-Jew Content?

message: Kyle is NOT 8 years old any more. In case people haven't payed attention, age mistakes are always made on South Park. Stan once said he was 9, then 8 in a later episode. Cartman is repeatedly called "an 8 year old boy" even after being confirmed to be 9 years old. If Kyle is also having age mistakes made about him, why does he become 8 when Stan and Cartman are not? Grieferhate (talk) 22:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But you're totally missing my point - age mistakes are made all the time. Stan has referred to himself as 8 years old as late as Season 9. Cartman is referred to as 8 as late as Season 8, so if Kyle is referred to as 8 in Season 11, why does that make it any better to officially list him as 8 when listing Stan and Cartman as 8 is not? I think you're being completely unfair. Also, Sheila may have been calling Kyle "almost 9" metaphorically in telling him that he is too old to believe in Leprechauns. Sometimes a mother may say to a 15 year old "You're almost 15," to clarify how old he is. That doesn't necessarily mean he's 14 years old. Grieferhate (talk) 19:22, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Blood Type

message: I'm curious as to whether the article should expand a bit on the variable spelling of Stan's last name.  It chooses Broflovski as the preferred Latin alphabet spelling, yet also mentions Brovlofski as appearing on the door of his father's law office, and also that it is derived from Brosloski.
Maybe the article should go into detail on the Slavic/Cyrillic origins of the name in question, and how its variations are simply the result of Latin transliteration.  In Poland, for instance, a common spelling is Wroclawski.  
--Please let me know what you think.

message: Even that Gerald (Kyles' father) is wearing a yarmelke on his head and Kyles' mother is dressing as an orthodox Jewish women they seem to be Reformes: they don't keep Kosher (like in "Asspen" episode), they don't keep the Shabat and they definitely have left-wing point of view.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.132.11.6 (talk) 14:40, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Religious views of the Broflovskis

message: Re: this edit List of changes:
*Slightly altered the lead, removing ref notes and elaborating on statements in lead with sourced info elsewhere in the article, as per MoS. 
*New infobox image straight from promotional source; added Matt Stone image.
*Removed examples of his intellect and his devotion to Ike; these are very few among numerous other that are too many to mention. Article already mentions that he is smart and loves Ike, and the info is supported by sources, no need to also include episode cites to substantiate further.
*Removed mention of his character rarely being portrayed as seeking a girlfriend; this was worded as if the show was obligated to do such a thing.
*Rearranged article into a new format, and trimmed/removed slightly OR material from "Friends and Relationships" section, and incorporated the rest into new sections.
*Added "In other media" section. (Not "References in Pop Culture"; actual SP-related appearances in other mediums and studies on the character)
*Removed spam link to personal fanpage.
*Removed "In-Universe" tag and added as much "real world" info I could find. I think it has to suffice for now because I've done an exhaustive search for weeks and have found little else in addition to what I've included here.
As always...please post gripes, thoughts, disagreements, suggestions, etc. Thanks. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 11:08, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've switched :File:SouthParkKyle2.jpg with :File:Kyle.svg because the svg can be scaled without losing quality, as opposed to the jpg, which is even lossy in its native resolution. Additionally, I've nominated File:SouthParkKyle2.jpg for a Template:db-f5 speedy deletion, if there are any disputes, just put Template:Hangon in the image summary within the next 7 days. Thanks, Cflm001 (Talk) 08:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've replaced the initial image with a fair use .png formatted version of the .jpg image mentioned above. The SVG image seems too "fan-drawn", and the .png image seems to better represent what the character actually looks like. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 00:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I still think the svgs are better. See below. (I can't use a gallery since I think it's a copyvio)
*:File:KyleSouthPark.png In this image, Kyle's face colour is much too light (nearly yellow), his clothes look faded and his mouth is crooked and not symmetrical, it looks like somebody drew it then scanned it.
*:File:SouthParkKenny.png This one is just as bad as Kyle. His hood and gloves are textured, which does not accurately mirror what Kenny looks like in South Park episodes (i.e. they use solid colours). Also note the bad colour fade.
*:File:Stan2.png This is South Park, not The Simpsons... The svg has a much more realistic skin colour, and like Kenny, this image is textured.
*:File:SouthParkCartman.png This one is probably the worst. There is much difficulty differenciating between his skin colour and eyes, his clothes are much too faded (i.e. he wears a red jacket, not a pink one.) and although it is saved as a png, it still has compression artefacts.
See my point? Cflm001 (Talk) 09:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

message: "You know, I learned something today...", the beginning of Kyle's speech at the end of some episodes, could be a reference to the show Doogie Howser M.D., couldn't it? I just read that the title character of that show used to summarize what he learned "during the episode" at the end of every (?) episode. 
But that is just speculation, and I didn't try to check that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.62.222.15 (talk) 10:09, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Throughout the "Conjoined Fetus Lady" episode, "Ike's Wee Wee", and other media during that time (e.g. many issues of Nintendo Official Magazine in the UK), Kyle's last name is clearly stated as Broslovski. This is easy to reference, and therefore should be mentioned in the article. If this receives no feedback within a week, I will add it myself. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:06, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Mmm, the page for his parents says their name has also been variously spelled  Broslovski, Brovlofski or Broflofski... Mezigue (talk) 21:25, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: And another one: Broslofski. The amount of variations is a bit ridiculous, but for the sake of completeness I believe each one should be stated in order to avoid confusion for those who may accustomed to seeing/hearing it spelt a certain way. I, for one, grew up hearing it as Broslovski/Broslofski in my first years of watching the show, and was confused as hell when I first started seeing the Broflovski/Broflofski spelling everywhere.
