thread_title: One-off Characters

message: I will attempt to make this as clear as possible:
Loch Ness is in Scotland, therefore so is the Loch Ness Monster. Scotland is in the UK. The UK uses the Pound Sterling, not the US Dollar. 
Therefore, why would the Loch Ness Monster POSSIBLY want three DOLLARS and fifty CENTS? There is no express statement that the Loch Ness Monster wants three dollars and fifty cents. Therefore, it should be concluded that a Scottish monster would want the currency used in Scotland.
Face it - 'tree fiddy' means 'three fifty' IN SCOTLAND. Therefore it is three POUNDS and fifty PENCE.
Thank you,

message: I agree with Mr. Garrison regarding minor characters. Thus, should we create a separate page for the one-episode characters (i.e. Blanket, Ms. Stephenson, etc.), and leave all the characters that have recurred on this page? It would save a lot of space and make the article look more tidy.
Yay or nay?

thread_title:  The character merges 

message: It has come to my attention recently that people are just adding any character. The point is that to be a minor character I believe they should have appeared two-four times. If they've only been in one episode, don't include them because they're just one-off characters. Or we could list them with just a link to the episode they appeared. Here's an example:
===Ms. Stephenson===
See Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy.

message: I think it looks kind of strange censoring swear words on Wikipedia... At one point in this article, namely the section about "Halfy", the author has censored two words, including the word "slut" in the episode name "Cartman's mom is a slut" - and I quote:
"He was in "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty ####", being the only one who hadn't had sex with Mrs. Cartman to which the Mr. Garison replied "You don't count, Halfy; you don't have any legs". He also appeared in "Chickenlover" in which he said he'd #### chickens."
Is this really necessary?

message: Uh, here are some stuff I'd like to propose: 
-One-time characters such as Bradley, Josh, Thomas, and Ugly Bob should be removed. If someone can prove if they appear in the background of other episodes (such as a school or Canadian setting), that'd be nice. 
-Loogie should be moved to the background character section of the student article, considering he is seen running out of the school fire in Butt Out. 
-Farmer Carl Denkins should be moved to the "other townsfolk" article, even if he does live out-of-town. (Mephesto seems to live outside, too, yet he's in that article.) 
-How about the Super Best Friends? Joseph Smith does appear again All About Mormons, and most of them appear in Imaginationland. But then again I don't think cameos should count as true appearances.

thread_title:  Cameo appearences? 

message: I come with this proposal to merge the following characters into this page:
*Terrance and Phillip
*Jesus (South Park)
*Saddam Hussein (South Park)
*Satan (South Park)
This is basically because, as many other characters that have already been merged, this characters lack Notability outside South Park and only serve to make the real Jesus, Hussein and Satan more notable with their depictions in the series. There are no sections with real world content showing how these characters have impact in popular culture or getting coverage by a vast amount of reliable secondary sources. Apart from the episode appearances lists, which violate WP:PLOT and WP:WAF, the rest can entirely be merged in here, so no much content would be lost. Thoughts? --LoЯd ۞pεth 04:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

 Not done: Welcome and thanks for wanting to improve this article. When you use the editsemiprotected template, you need to be specific about the changes you want made. A 'Please change X to Y' or 'Please insert Y after Z' level of detail makes it easier for the volunteers servicing the request, who are probably not familiar with the article, to understand the request and act on it. Also, for factual changes like yours, Wikipedia requires a reference to some reliable source which can be cited in the article and used to verify the facts. "I'm relatively sure" is called original research and is not allowed here. If you search around some, you may be able to find some reliable sources that agree with you and then you can add it here. Alternately, you can leave off the template and see if the thought triggers a discussion here that results in a change to the article.

thread_title: Mephisto/Mephesto

message: The section titled "Dr. Alphonse Mephesto and Kevin" dedicates two paragraphs to the Doctor, then another one to his companion Kevin, and then a little additional one describing the plot of a double episode, with some relation to Dr. Mephesto -although not adding anything about the character's personality- and no reference to Kevin. There is extensive information regarding that double episode in at least two Wikipedia articles. I therefore suggest that the last paragraph of the section is removed, or at least moved up before the one that precedes it, since it does not even mention Kevin.
