message: No one mentioned Coach Gills voice actor. Can someone fix that?
I added Rick Platypus's voice actor (Gilbert Gottfried) Jsager75 02:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hey, about the merging of articles I'm happy to have the list here as it was a case of duplication over it just being redundant in both places. To help this page out, do you think it'd be good to have voice artists for characters named? --treelo talk 17:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oh, hey 

message: Why is someone creating these redundant articles about the characters when there's still enough room for the info? (I've read these articles and they aren't even written as well as the info in this article). Also, the info is duplicated from this article. Squirepants101 15:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Genderplay is an obvious theme in many comedic worlds, from Aristophanes through Shakespeare to Uncle Milty and beyond, and it certainly shows up in many cartoon settings, including this one - but this is not at all the same as implied homosexuality of the characters. The gender-crossings that happen here are obviously played as jokes, not as windows to hidden aspects of character personality. The humor here comes from the acting-out of incongruous gender-roles (such as Jake becoming a "mother figure" - which automatically casts Adam into an "absentee father" role - during the class raise-a-baby-bird project), but if the implication was that they revealed something real about the characters, they wouldn't be incongruous (and therefore wouldn't be funny). I have no objection to reading such signs if they're clearly there, but these clearly aren't! The references to sexuality here should really be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hierophany (talk • contribs) 03:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "homosexual interests"??? 

message: Jacob "Jake" P. Spidermonkey's name is a link, but that link just leads to "List of characters from My Gym Partner's a Monkey" again.  What's with that?
Yeah, that needs to be removed Jsager75 12:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Self-linking 

message: Is it just me or is Dobie Broadway, Jr. similar to Michael Jackson? Because I was watching the episode and noticed that he mentioned a few things about his life that seemed similar to Michael Jackson like when Dobie said that he hasnt landed a hit single in 10 years and Dobie's estate is called Forever Land while Michael's is called Neverland.

message: I cleaned up the page fixing over a dozen typos, grammatical errors, and broken links. Jsager75 02:53, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean up 

message: Most of this article was taken out because much of it is meaningless to many, even those who watch it. Given an entry which reads "Unnamed Elk: A male Elk", I think a lot of the edits made by mainly IP editors are unnecessary and I'll take it upon myself to remove anything that is fancruft-based or explains minutiae only the most fastidious fan could care about. Someone (one of the more active nonsense IP editors) keeps repeatedly adding in whole articles from prior edits, please don't do this. --treelo talk 13:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reason for huge edits (and proceeding edit war) 

message: I just came to this specific talk page to voice my opinion that the character listing should at -least- stick to characters who have had actual lines. I am glad that it has been edited to reflect this and I hope it stays that way.

thread_title:  Main Article for Ingrid Giraffe 

message: I am sick and tired of coming to this page and seeing a long list of character who have only appeared once and/or are silent.  These characters do not deserve mention in an encyclopedia article.  I want everyone here to stop treating this article like a fan page and more like an encyclopedia article.  First of all, read WP:Cruft.  Secondly, I'm going to lay down a few rules here.  Theres rules have worked great on other Cartoon Network articles, so I will start enforcing them on this article.  
Characters who have only appeared once will not be mentioned.  It will take a minimum of three times for a speaking appearance by the character to have mention in this article.  Characters who appear in the background and are silent, will not have mention in here, even if they appeared in every episode.  These characters are simply props, used to fill the scenes so it emulates a school.  Remember, this is NOT a fan page, this is an encyclopedia article. DietLimeCola 15:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Would be but it's not exactly an altered POV on the subject, it's just an indiscriminate list. Better plan would be to list the rules as a hidden comment, helps those who don't pay attention to templates or talkpages. --treelo talk 00:04, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One more thing, characters can not have under their biography "In one episode, he did this" if it doesn't relate to the rest of the series. DietLimeCola 17:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This ends now. 

message: Okay, how do we get some sort of freeze going on here? Obviously someone is terrifically interested in listing every single solitary character that ever appeared on the show while others, including me, only want relevant ones. 
Lots42 16:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: By "freeze" I'm guessing you mean a soft lock to prevent further edits unless an editor is registered. One could be arranged but most edits come from IP editors so it might seem like an effort to prevent them from editing. It's more a case of taking our concern to the admins who handle locks and seeing what happens. --treelo talk 16:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Took it to AfP and as such now has a full lock for 3 days which means nobody can edit it, figured that it'd be seen as an attempt to block out the IP editors which make up the bulk of the editors attached and it was. Bit heavy-handed with the 3 day full lock but I see it as a cooldown period rather than a reprimand. It'll start again I reckon once the lock is lifted and blocks against someone who'll find a new IP to use won't work so nice try I suppose. --treelo talk 00:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And here we go again. Not only are all the minor characters back, the grammar quality has dipped far, far below accpetable levels. Sigh. Lots42 23:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Freezing 

message: This article, due to constant vandalism pushing the article copy back to an edit made in April, is slowly getting worse in terms of readability. There's no clear classification occurring between characters, much of what is written about them is too short or too specific and with the use of images becoming more unlikely given recent deletions along with notability being an issue is making me think that a complete rewrite is more practical than fighting bad edits one at a time. I'd like to see if a consensus can be made on this issue. --treelo talk 16:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite? 

message: The Minor Charatcers like Kaku Tiger and Wardell Wombat won't stop dissipating! as Vandals destroy the Minor Characters part of the area. while true fans keep the Minor Characters rebuilt.
:Oh, come on! Minor characters will be deleted if they don't talk or appeared in a single episode never to be referred to again. "True" fans can maintain their own list of non-citable minors in their own article if the need for these non-characters makes itself known. Until then, it remains cut and if you're really that dedicated to this, you and the other "true fans" come register instead of hiding behind your IP addresses. --treelo talk 17:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: It appears though the images of Adam Lyon and Jake Spidermonkey used in the article are damaged. I think they need to be fixed or replaced. 124.107.20.130 02:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Isn't he a sugar glider? The article says he is a fictional rodent. Sugar gliders are a real animal (a marsupial, not a rodent) from Australia and I believe his school uniform is based on the school uniform worn by Angus Young (The guitarist for ACDC, an Australian band).
:Nope, not a sugarglider, he doesn't bear much resemblance to one and it has been said within the show that  sugarjumpers don't exist. The AC/DC thing might be true but would count as original research so shrug your shoulders about that. treelo talk 00:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
