replies: text: As of right now, we don't really have a free use image, and there already is an infobox (but could be expanded more.) So basically, this article just needs to be copyedited, in addition to those suggestions that were not automated. -AMK152 02:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We could find a free use image...just make sure all images have a rationale so they aren't deleted. ForestH2 t/c 16:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aren't they Free use images? I mean they wen't uploaded on a Yahoo or Google image search...I think there free use images, since there watched on a computer, and not uploaded from Google or Yahoo. ForestH2 t/h/c 00:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments on Peer Review Updates

message: There is a statement in the article that Bikini Bottom resembles Los Angeles.  The citation for this statement in merely an episode title.  This seems wrong.  LA is a very crowded city full of sky-rises.  SpongeBob's street seems to have wide open spaces.  Additionally, the Krusty Krab is in the middle of nowhere.  SpongeBob's driving lessons occur on endless streets in a buildingless countryside.  I know there are some populated areas with buildings, but it is nothing like LA's overcrowding.--DarkTea 14:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bikini Bottom and the city of Los Angeles

message: I think this part of the article should be removed:
===National anthem===
Bikini Bottom has its own national anthem, which goes as follows:
:Oh, Bikini Bottom, we pledge our hearts to you,
:As faithful, as deep, as true, as blue,
:Bikini Bottom, we love you!
It's sounds kind of fancrufty for an article that is trying to reach featured article status. Here's a new peer review, since AMK hasn't updated it for months.

replies: text: Actually, this whole article is one huge mass of fancruft, IMO. I'm the one who started (anonymously) listing the features of Bikini Bottom (including the anthem) way back when, and now I'm almost sorry I did. What was once a simple, harmless list has grown into an exhaustive textbook for a SpongeBob 101 class that doesn't appear encyclopedic at all. It is not necessary, or even helpful, to list and explain EVERY possible detail about BB, which is what this article appears to be doing at this point. Even I, as a SB fan, don't find this enormous amount of detail helpful, or even that interesting. In fact, I avoid looking at this article, because I find it almost nauseating, to be honest. (No offense meant to any fan or editor.) I'm going to add the "Rewrite" tag to the top of the article, because I feel that this article desperately needs one--and I mean a *complete rewrite* - wipe the slate clean and start anew, this time paying better attention to Wikipedia's guidelines on articles about fiction. --CrazyLegsKC 15:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: National anthem

message: I believe that the part that says: "The city is self governing, though politically a part of Canada and British Columbia. The inhabitants pay City taxes, and vote in Canadian General Elections, but do not share the same services as Mainland Canadians. The current Mayor and Prime Minister of Bikini Bottom is Ozzy Osbourne" should be deleted. There is no proof for the statement made. Naruto_2008 (talk) 02:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Beginning Info

message: I revised the article. I re-arranged the ordering of something (ex. put events under entertainment, removed sports and put it elsewhere). I hope this help get rid of all that fan cruft and makes that article better  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigvinu (talk • contribs) 23:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Revised article

message: Does anyone know if there is any relation to the home of spongebob, and the location of the nuclear test site? (Lucas(CA) (talk) 02:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I still say that it makes since. Since there are real live people and real live...life, going above the sea. So a nuclear radiation leak could cause the residents of bikini bottom to have human like intelligence. --Obaidz96 (talk • contribs • &site= count) 00:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Relation to [[Bikini Atoll]]?

message: In the first section, it says the following:
According to Nickelodeon:
(SpongeBob SquarePants)
"To get to Bikini Bottom...
Find the Pacific Ocean, and go UNDER it!
When you see Hawaii, make a hard left!
Keep going... you can't miss it!"
Is there anything to prove that Nickelodeon said that? --Obaidz96 (talk • contribs • &site= count) 00:15, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The directions to Bikini Bottom? 

message: If Bikini Bottom is in the Pacific Ocean, shouldn't it be in pacific time (or Hawaii time)?
The article states that Bikini Bottom is in the Eastern time zone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.39.108.133 (talk) 21:48, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
