WikiProject Futurama tasks: edit  Here are some open WikiProject Futurama tasks: Ongoing Bring Futurama up to FA status. Keep Portal:Futurama up to date and update on a regular schedule. Needs attention All images linked in any Futurama article need to have a fair use rationale, this includes: episode articles done Character and list of character pages All miscellaneous pages (as linked in the Futurama template) All episode pages need to meet the standards of Wikipedia:Television episodes. A basic layout for how this can be accomplished is under discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Futurama#Episode article organization-revisited. Examples of "Good Articles" include "Space Pilot 3000" and "Hell Is Other Robots". Expand Futurama Comics and its issues. Cubert Farnsworth Other Improve the voice actors' articles Change all references to episodes to be in-line citations. See Planet Express Ship for an example of how to do this.

[edit] Why I gave Cubert his own page

I believe that Cubert should have his own page as he is one of/the central character in "A Clone of my Own" and "The Route of All Evil." He also stars in "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV."

Uh... So he's been in three episodes. I really don't think that qualifies for an article of his own. Especially considering that the articles for the Titanic characters all got merged into one article, and Titanic is the most successful movie of all time! Superior1 22:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

My personal opinions on merging aside he is the main focus of those three episodes, they are not the only episodes he appears in. Also it would be useful to note that a successful film still only has three hours of character development and information to write about whereas Futurama has four complete seasons and thus a denser universe and more character information to work from. All forms of entertainment are not created equal in this regard.Stardust8212 01:30, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding

We need something on "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV" but I don't know how to write it. Go Futurama! Sp3000 09:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vote to Merge

• Merge: I really don't think Cubert deserves an article of his own if Jack Dawson can't have one. Superior1 22:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

pffft who watches Titanic anyways :p Theres nothing wrong with the Cubert article Jackacon 23:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Who watches Titanic? Uh, it's only the highest grossing film in the world. Superior1 07:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Well, Titanic is a film, Futurama is a TV series. Film's don't really need more than one page. 71.236.221.179 10:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boarding School?

I don't remember any mention of a boarding school for either Cubert or Dwight in any of the episodes, where exactly did this come from? 71.236.221.179 09:56, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

It's just a school, not a boarding school. I've corrected the aricle to reflect this. Stardust8212 01:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relatives in info box

I've removed Leela as a relative because of the (very) temporary nature of her marriage. I'm happy for it to be restored if necessary but I think that having Leela stated as a relative is a pretty tenuous one.AirdishStraus (talk) 12:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goof in Bender's Big Score

He was 12 in 3001, and the movie takes place in 3008, which should make him about 18 or 19 in the movie, but still appears to be the same age as he was at beginning. Same with Dwight Conrad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.19.219.7 (talk) 22:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

216.19.219.7, it's normal in animated series for kids to not grow up. Jon (talk) 01:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] is he dead?

In Benders Big Score, he is apparantly apart of the children brigade against the scammers, and accourding to Zapp Branagin, was sent as a diversion to buy time and then was stated by the one of the scammers (using the RC Controlled Death Star) that he "Nailed the childrens ship", leading me to ask, Is he dead and should we note that in the article or should we just leave it for the time being.Gurall200

New discussion moved to bottom of page

I don't think this should be included unless it is confirmed in the later movies. At best it would be speculation to claim that he was dead and at worst it would just be wrong. Just my $0.02. Stardust8212 14:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
