- ATTENTION: This page is regularly vandalized by the same person from varying, anonymous IP addresses. This person continually adds knowingly-false (but believable-sounding) characters to this list. This has been going on for months. The vandal has been warned repeatedly and should be banned on sight. Please verify ALL anonymous contributions to this page. RADICALBENDER★ 06:21, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- By the way, I also wanted to mention that this is the most persistent vandal I've ever seen. A number of us have been reverting this page for about eight months now. RADICALBENDER★ 06:34, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, and if you look at his contributions, it's not only this page that he's been vandalizing. Kaizersoze 03:00, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)
Just let you know, I've added some stuff about the Brazilian football team that were working in the reactor core ("The Last Temptation of Homer") Saxsux
Consolidate minor characters (7 to 2 with comments):
- Minor characters go to the Characters from The Simpsons page
- merge groups of characters together (see details below)
- +: far fewer stubs
- +: easier to read a few longer articles
- +: less repetition of info
- Martin
- Every single character gets their own page:
Having been temporarily stymied in my attempts to move sep11 tributes to the sep11.wiki, I'm considering doing merges on this material. My masterplan is:
- Springfield Nuclear Powerplant - to contain info on all employees (bar Homer), plus any general info people think of.
- Flanders family
- Simpsons family
- Nahasapeemapetilon family
- remainder of info to remain in individual articles for the time being
This would be a good point to flame me to heck and back if you think this is a bad idea! :) Martin
- I'm not sure if I like the idea or not... probably, but I won't commit. If you do do it, you should have Springfield Elementary School for the students (minus Bart and Lisa, of course) and faculty. Tuf-Kat
- I did Nahasapeemapetilon family by way of example. I also moved the previous vote block here and added pros and cons Martin
- I just did Flanders family, but Anonymous56789 appears to disagree with me. I hope he will come here so we can discuss this. :) Martin
(copied from top) It makes more sense to link to something like Ned Flanders than to Flanders family, and a page that links to Ned Flanders should be mostly about Ned Flanders, not his family. - Anonymous56789
I don't think it makes any sense to have seperate articles on each of the Flanders. Rod Flanders has been a stub for over six months now, so I doubt that it's suddenly going to become a fully fledged article. I think the Flanders are best understood as a family, rather than individually. For example, most of the things one can say about Rod, one can also say about Todd. Martin
- Please consolidate as needed. --Uncle Ed

Comic Book Guy
Did I overlook him or is Comic Book Guy missing from this page? If so that's quite an oversight. Seems he should be with business figures. -R. fiend 06:10, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
- He sadly wasn't on there. That's really bad. Everybody thought that everybody else had put him on, yet no one had... -- user:zanimum
And while I'm at it there's that guy who appears all over the place, I think the action figure is called "sarcastic man" or something. He appears as a taxi driver, joke shop owner, exterminator, pet store owner, etc. Oh yeah, and that reminds me, for the "pets" section, what about the gerbil (or whatever rodent it was) that Lisa does science project on? (The pet shop owner claimed he wrote mysteries under some pseudonym I can't remember, I guess that would be his name.) And since any animal seems to qualify as a pet, there's also "Blinky" the three eyed fish. -R. fiend 17:33, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
Refactor (a.k.a. Sorta' Major Edit)
I've been watching this page kinda' wobble for a while. Though many good things have been added and some long-standing junk was pulled, it needs a good tweak. My big point of contention: Lots of details.
Much info is duplicated from supplimentary pages (SNPP, Moe's, individual families') but is, in my opinion, too verbose for this page's list-like nature. A good deal can be omitted due to the very good inter-Wiki linking here, and others can be shoved off to the "repeat characters" or the "one-time characters" pages. Some notes are not encyclopedic and should be modified (ie. 'in one episode'). What's more, there are bits both unsubstantiated (Ronald Reagan?, no. Maybe Will Rogers.) and incorrect (Cree, Homer's half mother?, Dr. Sandy Rudolph?).
Smaller problems include: What was originally the Simpson family pet list (see the Table of Contents indent) has become the list of animals town-wide. Even so, such a list shouldn't be second on the page. There's my long standing wish to either move the "deceased list" onto the "one-timers" page, or just chuck it in leiu of snpp.com doing much better than us (stealing theirs would be wrong I suppose). The "voiced by" notes can be moved to the main Simpsons page with the actors' notes. The "Robot Rumble" list is a one-off and pointless.
I may just attack this page and let reverts/rebuilds occur as consensus demands. Hope everybody's down.

missing characters
Would somebody please do me the favour to add Steward the working duck to the nuclear power plant characters?
- No one has mentioned osama binrotten, sec of state colon kapow or uncle slam(jeez, its been MONTHS sicne i mentioned this.. and it just rerun so i got the final name)
- Also missing are Krusty's one-time sidekick the "no" lady (Mrs. No Means No)(I forget her name); I don't know if you also want to include his two 'sidekicks' (a gas tank and a scorpion?) from when Sideshow Bob shut down television. RealGrouchy 17:41, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Then there's the hamster that Bart and Milhouse launched into space, who said goodbye to his 'wife' in a shoebox living room. RealGrouchy 17:41, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Marge
Isn't Bouvier Marge's maiden name, and not her middle name? If so, putting her name as "Marge Bouvier Simpson" is incorrect, and should be changed to "Marge Simpson (nee Bouvier)", with the acute accent on the first e of nee. - Chewyman 19:41 NZT
- Better? To get that e, you can hold down alt and type "130". Also check out Wikipedia:How to edit a page#Character_formatting--Will2k 23:01, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
Who is Natasha, the person mentioned as Ned's stepwife? Is she in an upcoming episode?- B-101 17:22, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- It's one of the many fake characters this persistent vandal keeps adding. Kaizersoze 17:35, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)
why is ned's vegas wife (ginger) added, but not homer's vegas wife (can't remember her name)?
Mr. Bumblebee Man
I made a minor change in Mr. Bumblebee Man. He is mexican, not spanish.
