Comments:

This line, is it still current? "Tibbitt still holds the showrunner position and also functions as an executive producer."
- Yes. 07:53, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
" Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke and the rest of the crew confirmed they have completed four new episodes for broadcast on Nickelodeon in early 2005,[15][16] and planned to finish about 20 total for the then-fourth season.[15][16]" Clearly dated.
- Fixed 07:53, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
Image relevance issues I have is with the celebrity photos for merely liking the series and the text: "Justin Timberlake (top), Britney Spears (middle) and Bruce Willis (bottom) are among the celebrity fans of the show." This seems to have been out of place in the same caption: "Due to its popularity, the show attracted the gay community and this incident would become controversial that even led to questions whether the title character is gay. This accusation was denied by creator Hillenburg who considers him as "almost asexual"."
- Images removed. 07:53, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
" SpongeBob has gained popularity in Japan, specifically with Japanese women. Nickelodeon's parent company Viacom purposefully targeted marketing at women in the country as a method of the SpongeBob SquarePants brand." I'd prefer an inline citation with the following reference for these claims to head off any challenges. Not really a requirement.
- Done 07:53, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
"The show's popularity among gay men would become controversial as, in 2005, a promotional video which showed SpongeBob..." Choppy sentence structure here.
- Fixed? 07:53, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Episodes should be a description of the plot, about 50 words or so, I find the single liners and teasers to be rather questionable and some appear to be stripped right from what a TV guide teaser would be. "Spongebob and Patrick go camping, and an unready Squidward tags along." and "SpongeBob takes Patrick to his favorite prank store, and his newest purchase leads to hijinks all over town." Its a bit bland. The first half of the episode list is about on par for what I'd expect. Three good sentences or so. Lastly, no international release details for Spongebob, why? Overall, this looks pretty good, but it needs a bit more work before I'd be happy passing it. Placing it on hold. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 06:15, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be working on the plot soon. To be frank, I didn't work on that before. Thanks for reviewing this. Mediran (t • c) 07:53, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please give me an update when you are done. It's just been a week, but I see you are still working on this. I don't want them to linger indefinitely though, okay? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:27, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just have a small comment. Is there a reason "The Sponge Who Could Fly" is sandwiched between two other episodes that aired in 2004? I feel the episode should either be placed in the order it aired, or that there is a mistake with its year.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 00:35, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave this open a bit longer since you are still working on it, but it still needs a fair amount of work. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:43, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chris. I have added to the episode list and I think it's done. About the international release, I'm sorry but I don't have details on that. Are there any other issues to address? I'm very sorry for the delay because I was very busy. Thanks! Mediran (t • c) 10:43, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Gen. Quon. Thank you for your input. The episodes are listed by their prod order. I'm very sorry but the list will get messy and more confusing if this will be arranged by orig dates. Mediran (t • c) 10:45, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll pass it now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:04, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Loud House

There seems to be a misunderstanding among editors of Nick-related articles. The article for The Loud House says, "It became the network's highest-rated program (as of June 2016) after SpongeBob SquarePants, holding an average Nielsen rating of 4.9 among the 2–11 demographic at the time." This NY Post report is the source of the statement. Nowhere does it say that Loud House is the highest-rated children's show on TV or that it replaced SB -- that is only saying premieres of Loud House were getting higher ratings than SB reruns in June 2016. This info might fit on the page for season 9, which was airing during June 2016, but it doesn't belong on this article (especially since the statement added to this page was false: SB was not undefeated as the highest-rated children's show from 2002-2017). --SBSPfan (talk) 22:26, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alt titles

My edit adding alternate titles to "Party Pooper Pants" and "Ugh" was swiftly reverted, and I cannot understand why; the titles "SpongeBob B.C." and "SpongeBob's House Party" are what these episodes are listed as on the Season 3 DVD, which is a reliable source, and less official titles for Season 11 and 12 are allowed, so why have these been excluded? KebBadErikSteveJobs (talk) 22:39, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point to a source (e.g., Amazon) for this? We can't just take every user's word that things are true. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:37, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
