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] Origin

Does anyone know how they came up with the origin of the characters looks? Because i was watching Invader Zim lately and in the episode "Battle of the Planets" there was an kid who looks similar to Hermes limboing —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.31.187.142 (talk • contribs)

Well since Futurama started in 1999 and Invader Zim didn't start until 2001 I doubt that was the influence for Hermes, if that's what you're asking. Stardust8212 21:59, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah ok they showed in reverse order here.

[edit] Homicidal

I think something needs to be added about Hermes homicidal tendencies, such as when he eats a sandwhich full of human parts, or requestion a license to kill, or considering sending everyone into the sun among other things.

Eating Soylent products and having licenses to kill are common in the future, and the Professor is usually the one send them on suicidal missions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.53.82.182 (talk) 18:33, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shirley Hemple - misspelled, not a drug reference

According to Closed Captioning, Hermes orders a Shirley Hemphill ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Hemphill ). "Hemp" being in the name may be intentional, but it is more likely just a contrast of body type/personality joke.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Labarbara.gif

Image:Labarbara.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
