message: In the Episodes section of this article is a list that is copied from the List main article using the  template. While the Season links in the List main article functions correctly (Pilot, 1, 2, 3, etc), the list that appears here in the Episodes section of this article doesn't function. This is a technical issue that is beyond my expertise, and I wish to bring it to the attention of someone whom knows how to correct this issue.<BR>

message: There is previous consensus that the original run of the series is the Nickelodeon run which ended in 1995 with "A Scooter for Yaksmas". The first MTV run is regarded as a separate run.

message: I've noticed that there might be some issues with past tense and future tense. Here's the current wording to the section so far:
Since it already happened, I'm thinking that it would be reworded to something like this.
I think it will solve some problems here, but we may need some input on what to do here. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 16:20, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I really hate the "it was announced", "on [date]", "it was said", all that passive voice is bad style, and MOS is pretty strongly worded against it. WP:SAY. Deadline Hollywood reported something in 2016, it doesn't mean it's the absolute truth. Everything in the section as it is currently worded is correct, according to the sources. Making it all a mess of "announced", "revealed", "confirmed" is detrimental to the style and the accuracy of the information. Bright☀ 13:26, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I understand where your concerns are coming from. I have no argument with WP:SAY (we could also use "stated", "described", "wrote", "commented", and "according to" in addition to "said"). After all, we are striving to create, expand, and improve all articles to the highest degree possible. Still, I had some concerns about contractions in that section (like "doesn't" should be "does not"), so that's been fixed up. Also, I'm a little concerned about the "Bob Camp and Bill Wray, who worked on the original show..." wording, since those names might be a little redundant when they are first mentioned in the article (i.e. full name should be mentioned once or twice).

message: The article was , reverting several edits with the edit summary "" This edit is invalid for the following reasons:
#  I have  so the viewpoint is clearly and accurately attributed to Bob Camp. (WP:BIASED)
# There are two intermediate fixes (, ) that remove uncited information that should not be restored without an inline reference to a reliable source. (WP:BURDEN)
# There are two punctuation and readability fixes (, ) that should probably be kept, and in any case shouldn't be reverted for the wrong reason.
, points (2) and (3) should be obvious and the edits should not be reverted. Point (1) you're going to have to begrudgingly accept. Even if you don't trust Bob Camp, he is not making an outlandish statement here. He is an animator, he was involved in the creation and production of Ren & Stimpy, there's nothing unreasonable about what he says—that he pitched a Ren & Stimpy movie to Paramount and they rejected it because of Adult Party Cartoon. There's no reason to believe that Trent Parsley or ScreenGeek reported his words inaccurately. If you have a different reason to remove the material, please specify it. Bright☀ 06:35, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That may be so, but that is not a condition necessary for citing a reliable source, whether it's Bob Camp, Trent Parsley, or ScreenGeek. If you are questioning the reliable-source-ness of this combination, you need an indication that it is WP:QUESTIONABLE or the like. As I explained above, nothing in the statement Camp makes is outlandish and there's no immediate reason to doubt Trent Parsely or ScreenGeek, so unless you can show that this particular source is unreliable, the reason for your objection is invalid. You can raise other objections, for example POV objections, but they too might be invalid because other sources have reported rumors of a movie, which corroborates Camp's claim to some degree, indirectly. Bright☀ 10:15, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This is correct. The source directly makes this statement. As long as the proper context is given (According to Bob Camp) then its a perfectly acceptable statement to have in the article. Sergecross73 msg me 12:52, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

message: I suspect Idrinkapplejuicies456 was trying to fixed their mistake, but they improperly implemented their fix in the template, since the template does not have an "animation production" or "animation services" variable. I believe they mistakenly assumed "company" refers to all companies working on the show, not just the production companies. At any rate, the template documentation states:  Bright☀ 09:19, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: No, as it's still being rerun, and in any case adding such a statement to the article would require a source. Bright☀ 13:13, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

message: It doesn't seem like any of the Ren & Stimpy video game articles really stand up on their own; the most I can find for any of them as far as third-party sources go is one or two reviews each, and it's doubtful there's any substantial development info around. The overhaul I'd just given the video game section on the main article sums up each entry about as thoroughly as they need to be within the bigger article's context, so I'd think redirecting the video game titles to that section would be in order.

replies: text: In principle, each videogame should have enough reliable sources to merit an article, but right now they're better off merged into one article. Support merge either into the main article or, preferably, Ren & Stimpy videogames. Bright☀ 18:01, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

message: People are trying to distance Ren & Stimpy from John K, and one way is to cite Bob Camp as a co-creator. There's one reference that names all Spumco co-founders as creators, so I guess we'll go with that, despite all other references attributing the creation to John K alone.

message: Did quite a bit of digging for the flagged missing citations in this article. The citations deal with old distribution deals (VHS) or details of cut scenes or episodes from later releases. There is significant discussion of the missing content in forums, blogs and like, so the data appears to be accurate, but I could locate no official sources that would be acceptable for wiki citation.

message: The source for the information that DPH was played by RHH now states "Note: The original list incorrectly referred to Reverend Horton Heat as the creator of the Ren & Stimpy theme song. That entry has been removed from the list, and Consequence regrets the error."
They now list only 21 songs instead of 22.
I restored the old entry, but i don't know about "Die Screaming Leiderhôsens" either.--Rupert Pupkin (talk) 19:42, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
