==Possible Political Stance?== |
|||
This might be just me, but it seems that the new episode Shuffleboarding portrays the Patriot Act... Although this might just be my speculation. [[Special:Contributions/71.238.25.226|71.238.25.226]] ([[User talk:71.238.25.226|talk]]) 22:45, 18 February 2009 (UTC) |

|||
== Jellyfish == |
|||
The article says that jellyfish are the marine equivalent of insects in the series. However, I think that they '''specifically''' represent either butterflies or bees. Why? They are caught in nets just like butterflies and make jelly in a manner similar to the way bees make honey. Any other views on this?

== "Any Porn in this Store" controversy == |
|||
Should the "Any Porn In This Store" quote be mentioned in the Board Appeal section? If I can remember that episode was actually pulled for a short period of time and later censored. |
|||
But none the less it should be mentioned <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.62.135.103|24.62.135.103]] ([[User talk:24.62.135.103|talk]]) 18:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

|||
== Where is Bikini Bottom? == |
|||
In the second paragraph, it mentions that Bikini Bottom can be found at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. In the "Setting" section in the second paragraph, it says Atlantic Ocean. |
|||

I too was wondering about this. Can anyone help out with this? [[User:Benqish|Benqish]] ([[User talk:Benqish|talk]]) 12:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:I followed the link given for Atlantic Ocean that lead to the official site. As the site is flash it didn't go straight to the useful information so I removed both ocean location statements. After a few minutes of searching the official webpage I found the 'Show Description' page (click on Squidward's house), which says "Deep down in the Pacific Ocean, in the city of Bikini Bottom, lives a square yellow sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants". I'll re-add the info with the official site as the source. [[User:Bill|Bill]] <sup>([[User_talk:Bill|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Bill|contribs]])</sup> 11:40, 25 September 2008 (UTC) |

|||
:Yes, that is also true. The Plankton's Holiday Hits short also says "Bikini Bottom, USA." Just because it is located in the Pacific Ocean, doesn't mean it's not part of the US.

== Decline in quality == |
|||
There are lots of people who don't like the newer episodes starting from season 4 or 5, but we don't have any sources, as all the complaints are only by non-reliable sources - such as on forums. Still, I think we should add something about the decline in quality of SpongeBob episodes. There was something before, but I think it was removed.

== New Updates for SB Season DVD releases == |
|||
Hi, Shops in Australia and other Region 4 DVD retailers are going to release the 4th Season of SB. It will come out on 6 November 2008, but instead of Volumes like you have listed on the main page it will come out in a 3 Disc DVD Boxset. May that be added to the region 4 DVD release in the DVD sections? |

== No citations in "controversies" section. == |
|||
Not only is the "Controversies" section poorly written (bad grammar, punctuation, etc.), but it cites no sources at all. I'm willing to concede that someone might have found the episodes described controversial due to subject matter, but this comes off only as the author's opinion, since he or she gives no context or sources for these remarks. I'd recommend this section be removed if proper citation cannot be provided. [[User:Groovymarlin|Groovymarlin]] ([[User talk:Groovymarlin|talk]]) 20:32, 21 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== Do we need this? == |
|||
In the "2003 - 2005" section I found this |
|||
In September 2007, Nickelodeon began airing two new television series. First was iCarly. Later that month, the Nickelodeon Original Movie Barnyard bacame a Nicktoon series called, Back at the Barnyard. At the start of this series, it was claimed to be a big hit due to similar elements to Jimmy Neutron, and also shows popculture references like the Fairly OddParents. |
|||
Is that really necessary? I don't think that has got anything to do with spongebob. =\ <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/220.239.44.204|220.239.44.204]] ([[User talk:220.239.44.204|talk]]) 07:56, 28 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

==Squirrels do not Hibernate== |
|||
"Sandy Cheeks is another friend of SpongeBob. She is a squirrel that lives in an underwater dome in Bikini Bottom. She was sent there by her bosses, chimpanzees, according to the episode, "Chimps Ahoy". Sandy is from Texas, and speaks with a Texan accent. Sandy is an expert at karate. Sometimes she gets a little home-sick and sings a little song. When not inside her tree-dome, she wears an astronaut-like suit because she cannot breathe in water. '''Sandy, just like a normal squirrel, hibernates''' once a year, as seen in a few episodes such as "Pre-Hibernation Week" and "Survival of the Idiots"." |

==Squidward is not an Octopus== |
|||
Under the heading 'Premise', squidward is listed as an Octopus. He is infact a [[Squid]] (hence his name, color and apearance of his 'hands'). While his creators may have reffered to him as both he is quite obviously a [[Squid]]. However, the reference to Nickelodeon as describing him a squid does not in fact say anything about what species he is. |
|||
Regardless, I think it's safe to conclude that Squidward is in fact a [[Squid]]. |
|||
[[User:Leeor net|Leeor net]] ([[User talk:Leeor net|talk]]) 20:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC) |
|||
Stephen Hillenburg said that Squidward is an octopus, but since the name "Octoward" wouldn't make sense, they called ''Him'' Squidward. So Squidward is infact an octopus. (by the way, didn't someone say something about this in the past?) [[User:DJ WikiBob|P.S. I Rock Wikipedia!]] ([[User talk:DJ WikiBob|talk]]) 20:29, 1 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob |

:He in fact is an octopus. While these sites aren't reliable sources, [http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/Squidward_Tentacles this] does note that the behind-the-scenes feature of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie DVD refers to him as an octopus and [http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1685579 this] notes audio commentary on the DVD ''Tide and Seek'' for the episode ''Sleepy Time.'' |
