message: Is it worth noting that Finnish folk musicians Värttinä make an appearence in the episode "Meet Binky"?
:For reference, the song used is "Matalii ja mustii" from their album Seleniko; which is noted on that page. --Mairi 00:01, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

message: What is Fern, Gena, Prunella, Sue Ellen, or any other characters you can think and could you say what type of animal that they are? I might also be good if they could fit in the "Arthur" article some how. --Contrib 18:56, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: What're the names of Arthur's neighbours, the mexican family in the series?
they're the Molinas, and they're not mexican they are from ecuador
:I don't think the parents names are mentioned in the show. But, the 13-year-old boy is named Alberto and the "3 7/8"-year-old is named Vecita. Please sign your user name and date from now on. Fishhead 23:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

message: "*In D.W Goes to Washington, all traces of "It's like a dream come true." is simply "It is wonderful" in closed captions. "
Arthur is broadcasted in the US with two caption tracks according to WGBH . There's a standard captioning track, and a simplified caption track for younger audiences who're just starting to learn how to read or have trouble figuring out what is being said. You sure your captioning settings are set correctly?
:Also, I removed Prunella's last name from her entry - as far as I know it, it was never mentioned on the show. It's probably put there by a delusional troll.
:Also added "Emil" to Ratburn's name, attributed to an inconsistency in one of the episodes (it was mentioned in Arthur's daydream in one of the episodes I believe).

message: The Simpsons article makes mention that 'Arthur' is a TV show particularly noted and criticised for lifting its storylines from the Simpsons. I came to this article, interested to learn more but found nothing on the topic. Could someone in the know perhaps make a section for this? I'm pretty sure that at least some of the traffic to this article is coming to learn about this link/criticism. MagicBez 16:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

message: As far as I know, it was never mentioned on the show. So I removed it from the list. RAMChYLD 10:21, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Special thanks to Carol Greenwald, who has just come through with the following information:
"The good news is that there are new Arthur episodes for this spring,probably late April/early May. And, we just managed to scrape together enough funding to do 10 more Postcards from Buster episodes that will air next fall. We weren't so sure that Buster was going to survive the brouhaha last year, but many small foundations came through with generous support and so we're back in production."
This is directly from show executive producer Carol Greenwald. If for some reason you don't believe that I'm in contact with her, just visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arthur2 and look for the Album in the photos section titled Carol Greenwald Reception.

I found this newsbit.  It confirms the new season in spring 2006, and apparently one of the new episodes will be about D.W. visiting the hospital.--Roabe 01:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I added a brand-new section with detailed information about the three music albums available for the show, but stopped short of adding complete track listings. I suppose if somebody wants to though, or if they think it would be a good idea?

message: Should this really be needed? Jingo
It's Carl Patcheeva and he was in "Only Rock and Roll." Don't remove stuff that's correct.

replies: text: Well, I couldn't really do a rollback due to the fact that someone has contributed info after the erasal, so I had to manually readd it. And oh, Nadine deserves to be in a category of her own. RAMChYLD 07:27, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Carl Patch or something along with Minor Characters? 

message: Agree --- none of the other characters (that I know of) have their own individual pages. The info should be here, if only for consistency. Agent0042 23:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I just did a major rv on the wiki page to one that's a few days old because of constant vandalism while my head was turned. Man, you take your eyes off the page for a minute and what happens? Vandalism extravaganza. "April" is not only restored into the pages, but personal attacks on a fellow contributor also surfaced. I put this page on Vandalism in progress and is about to report the IP too. RAMChYLD 07:30, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume you made sure that any legit contributions were preserved. Rolling back several versions back can remove good new material along with the bad stuff. ike9898 17:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Hey, can I change the airdate of Arthur to day-month-year? I always write the British way. :) --Janet6
* Well, check the Wikipedia rules. Wikipedia is international, and respects the way the date is written when the article is created. Check the wiki help pages and rules for more information. RAMChYLD 04:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The British Way 

message: I noticed on the Arthur article that an anonymous user posted something called "Domino's Pizza commercial" or something like that ... it also said it aired in October 2006. But we're only in the wake of February! Is this a fake, or is it saying that the bunny-girl will be featured in a DP commercial? Then, if its is, it would be less confusing to say "it will air in Oct. 2006" than "it aired in Oct. 2006". Janet 14:36, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  April Johnson commercial?? 

message: I noticed someone has edited the page so that Arthur's family appears in a separate subsection. I reverted the change because I didn't see it as necessary- in fact, I see it as a possible confusion source. Dispite the title, the show isn't only about Arthur. Therefore, I treat it as such. But if anyone has a feasible reason to have it changed back, please post your reason here. RAMChYLD 08:59, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This troll seems to be coming back under various IPs, so if anyone else sees any mentions of April being added to the guide, feel free to remove it along with any other nonsense they add and slap a warning on them. Agent0042 05:38, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agent0042 and I have did a bit of digging and we now think we know who the trolls are. Anyways, I agree with Agent. At any sight of "April", kill and warn. RAMChYLD 03:06, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
