Talk:The Powerpuff Girls/Archive 2

message: Please, there's someone who can help me to put at Trivia's section that Bubbles's toy (a purple yellow-eyed octopus) appeared in the cartoon The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, at the episode Crawling Niceness? If you saw the episode, you can confirm. It's because I'm Brazilian and I don't want to write this information with any language error. Thanks. Brazilian Man 02:26, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: What a waste of time, to dedicate all of this to a fairly minor animated series.  Also, the Powerpuff Girls deserve no recognition after they beat up an innocent clown.  My suggestion is to dump this idea, as it is wasted. Marcus2 12:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if it violates Wikipedia:Notability (fiction)... --May the Edit be with you, always. (T-borg) (drop me a line) 18:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I completely disagree with Marcus2's comments.  The Powerpuff Girls themselves are major characters in the series, and many of the villains are also well-known.  Many other series (such as Power Rangers and The Fairly OddParents) have their own articles on characters, and I don't see why PPG shouldn't have individual articles on major characters.

replies: text: While the villains are major characters in the series, they are NOT well known AT ALL.  After the girls beat up Rainbow the Clown, there is no reason to recognize them or praise and laud them. Marcus2 15:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I never stated anything about Rainbow the Clown.  However, every MAJOR villain (including Fuzzy Lumpkins and Him) should have their own article.  And of course, the heroes of the series (Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup) are worthy having individual articles, similarly to how many of the Power Rangers have their own.

I can't correct this as the sentence doesn't make sense however much you juggle the words about - has something been taken out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.112.64.146 (talk) 20:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I had a simliar thought.  But I think that the villains should have their own page; that's the longest segment of the article, I think. HyperBlossom 18:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I might agree --- if there were individual episode descriptions.  Of course, I could always write them . . . HyperBlossom 19:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes, my original idea was actually merging one-timers into those episode descriptions. —May the Edit be with you, always. (T-borg) (drop me a line) 20:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

text: There's also plenty of shows that maintain lists of one-off characters. Granted the article needs to be pruned, but I think the information should be retained. HyperBlossom 20:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  No Picture... 

message: A list of times a certain TV show, movie, book or whatever has ben mentioned in other media is common place here on wikipedia (just look at the article on Beavis and butthead, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony, or just about anything popular or well-known). So Marcus belief that the article on The Powerpuff Girls should NOT have one of those lists have no basis at all. However, no article can truely be a good article if it has to many lists, so i propose we delete the list that mention times the the PPG show has made references to other cultural phenonomen. The "overview" section at the begining of the article alreday thats that the show "bases much of its humor on pop culture parody" (or something like that), and i dont think its necassery to mention every single parody the show has made. Other shows which frequently makes parodys does not have such a list (Simpsons, South Park, Rugrats ect). So im gonna go ahead and delete the "cultural references" section and instead put back the "Powerpuff Girls in Pop Culture" section. That ok with the rest of you?

thread_title:  Split Characters into Completely Seperate Article 

message: While PowerPuff Girls is an american cartoon and creation, there is the fact it ended up spinning off into a japanese animation series. Because of this, I was wondering if anyone would object for me to add information about the Japanese dub of the PowerPuff Girls here on this English Wikipedia entry, including the voice actors? Is there any objection to this? Mendinso 19:37, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're talking about the anime series (PPG Z), that's got it's own page (see the navbar at the bottom of the page), and that shouldn't be added. However, if you're talking about the Japanese VAs used for original PPG show (which I'm not aware that it was aired and dubbed in Japan), then that's reasonable information to add. --Masem 19:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Just yesterday I saw one of the promos for Fried Dynamite. It was the one where a bunch of pictures flash in front of the screen in the beginning before the guy holding his breath. In one of the quick flashes I saw a picture of mojo jojo. If you see this commercial, try to find him, he is in the top right corner of the screen. Its very quick but definetly noticeable. Ive been trying to find it on the web but nothing. Anyway, why would they have mojo jojo in Fried Dynamite if the show was cancelled long ago.

Review by Midnightdreary
I don't think this article is ready for GA just yet, though I don't know what the standards are from the WP:Cartoon Network. Here's my two cents...
*The intro can be expanded on. As per WP:LEAD, it should serve as a stand-alone mini-article.
*Overview: I would suggest putting the Setting section as a subsection of this, as well as the info on the opening/closing sequences. The line "The show is one in a long line of cartoons that derives a great deal of humor from pop culture parody and satire" is original research. The line "It has a highly stylized, minimalistic visual look, reminiscent of 1950s and 1960s pop art" should have a cited source for a similar reason.
*History: This is the article's strongest section, simply because it has so many sources. Keep looking for more and see if you can expand (see my last note, too).
*Characters: I'd consider having a separate article for the main characters and only putting very brief information here. There's already a "Minor characters of the Powerpuff Girls" article, which may suggest room for a "Major characters" article. Editors may notice if this section is removed, there's not much left in the article (see my last note! :). 
*Episodes: I'd consider taking off the bullet-style and just sticking with a single paragraph of prose here. Think about it, anyway.
*I'm not an expert on TV articles here on Wikipedia, but I think right away that the whole article is sorely in need of more out-of-universe discussion. I think, say, production of the series and critical response should be a pretty weighty part of the article. For this one in particular, I'm sure you'll find information on its popularity, merchandising, etc. You have some information under "History" which could be expanded on. Make sure you've taken a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/How to write about television programs and consider the article on Sesame Street (a featured article) as a sort of guide. Notice how many sources that article has (I'm guessing, though, that Sesame Street has a few more readily available sources; you might have to put some extra work in). Throughout this article, avoid single-sentence paragraphs. My suggestion is that all paragraphs should have at least three sentences; that's just good prose. Well, anyway, I hope I was helpful. Best of luck to any dedicated editors on this article! --Midnightdreary 19:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  For those in the back... 

message: I'm glad to see that our argument has been somewhat settled and stored into a debate archive here.  There are a few flaws made to the article here and there, but otherwise, I think this article is good the way it is.  If there aren't any inappropriate edits here other than vandalism (there will always be vandalism, as far as I'm concerned), I think the article is pretty much fine, unless there is some good proof that new things related to "The Powerpuff Girls" are happening.
