Pest in the West

A recent commercial has begun appearing on Nickelodeon promoting their new events for 2008. Along with several other specials / shows, a "Wild West" version of SpongeBob is shown called "Pest in the West". Should we add some note of this? Setherex (talk) 19:09, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't add it unless you can find a source. Unfortunately, "I saw it on TV" is not a source; it actually violates WP:NOR. Try Animation Insider, TV.com, or TV Guide; even being listed at one of these sources is acceptable because it confirms the title. NF24^{(radio me!)} 21:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

A little suggestion

This is just a suggestion, but how about this article be merged into Spongebob Squarepants article? what do u think? (Gotiger13 (talk) 09:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC))

Nope. It would make an already long article even longer. NF24^{(radio me!)} 13:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

So? making it longer is good! y'see, if this was merged into the Spongebob Squarepants article, it would be better. You might disagree, but other people will agree. (Gotiger13 (talk) 15:04, 16 December 2007 (UTC))

To the contrary - longer articles are harder to edit and cause problems on older computers. Still, we'll see if others agree. NF24^{(radio me!)} 16:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Nope. A straight disagreeing from me. I mean look at SpongeBob SquarePants article. It's already as long as hell and with mostly nothing productive and with 9 refs for 42 kb of prose. Adding the ENTIRE list is gonna make the article even more of an eye sore. (SUDUSER)₈₅ 06:47, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

No it won't. It will improve the Spongebob Squarepants article a lot. I think that this article should be in the Spongebob Squarepants article. (Gotiger13 (talk) 07:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC))

I agree with Gotiger13. It would be best for this article. As for people saying Spongebob Squarepants is as long as hell, go and look at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and say that again.

Gotiger 13, i agree with you! (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 17:11, 17 December 2007 (UTC))

Pointing out other articles is not a valid defense. NewYork483 (talk) 03:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't agree with this. I think we should just have the small link in there as usual. (PhilipB (talk) 17:06, 17 December 2007 (GMT)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.175.45 (talk)

Look at other TV show articles like The Simpsons and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series); all these articles have seperate episode lists - so that's the norm; Find me one TV show article that does what you are suggesting! (SUDUSER)₈₅ 13:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Merging with the main article is a very bad idea. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 22:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Merging the list of episodes into the show is a bad idea. the show has five seasons worth of episodes, each at least somewhat notable and they could not all be summarized in the show's page. Frank Anchor, U. S. American (talk) 04:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I have a better idea! Add links to the Seasons in the Spongebob Squarepants article! (Gotiger13 (talk) 14:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

That is a worser idea. And i cannot disagree with you SUDUSER i have looked through some of those articles and it seems that you are right. So now i think it is best to keep it how it is for now. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

I really do agree with everything that people have said. I think that the List of spongebob Squarepants episodes should stay how they are. (Sazuref (talk) 16:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

Welcome to wikipedia, Sazuref. But can i point out something? your spelling is bad, and i really does agree does not make sense. I corrected your spelling. Please watch in the future. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 16:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

I am very sory Shadowmoon13, but i am not got at Spaelling at all. (Sazuref (talk) 16:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

I can see that. Just try to improve. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 16:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

Besides The Greeting & Spelling To Sazuref. I Disagree It's Not Very Huge Article Like The Spongebob Squarepants One. It's Just A Little Shorter.CartoonSpot121 (talk) 02:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I have a good idea! Delete the whole article! it sucks! (Gralou (talk) 12:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC))

See Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion, though "This article sucks" is hardly a reason for deletion. NF24^{(welcome, 2008!)} 12:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

The UK release dates are not in there! thats why it sucks. (Gralou (talk) 12:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC))

Oh. Well, if you really want to, go ahead and add them. Don't be surprised if you get reverted, though. (I honestly don't have a problem with releases in one other country, but this article has a tendency to grow rather large in a short amount of time and others might not welcome your changes.) NF24^{(welcome, 2008!)} 12:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Its all about the US isn't it? to improve the article YOU need to add all the air dates of all the countrys. YOU act like the boss of the article, so i command you to do that NOW. (Gralou (talk) 12:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC))

Commanding people will get you nowhere in life or Wikipedia (except a block). NF24^{(radio me!)} 19:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Gralou, you are not the boss of anybody. Anyway, i disagree. The list of spongebob episode article should stay how it is. (Elliott the king (talk) 18:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC))

Putting UK release dates would get crowed. Next thign yo uknow we woudl need Australia dates and Germany dates, etc. As the show began in the US, the US dates are more appropriate for the US. Besides, the SpongeBob SquarePants Wikia already has a list of US dates, as well as a start for Australian dates. It is more appropriate to put foreign airdates there than Wikipedia. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions • Send message)} 00:56, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Please

Please take the protection off, i know that some users vandalise the page, but its not fair on others that want to edit the article. (Elliott the king (talk) 18:37, 5 January 2008 (UTC))

You are registered, so wait until your account if four days old ("autoconfirmed" in wiki-lingo) and you will be able to edit. Unregistered (IP address) users were making a mess of things, so the article got semi-protected indefinitely. NF24^{(radio me!)} 20:30, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

"Le Big Switch?"

I haven't heard of this episode. Is it real? --63.246.240.181 (talk) 18:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it certainly is. I saw it on the TV last week, so it is real. (Elliott the king (talk) 19:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC))

Search for evidence. Tis the only thing you can do, altho you could also talk to somebody about it and ask them. (Sneasel99 (talk) 20:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC))
