[edit] An Episode List?

Since this is a TV series we're talking about here, should we not include a list of episodes? I myself would do it, but I don't know how. Wilhelmina Will 02:29, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, we could either add another section or make it as another page just like they do for other shows mentioned in Wikipedia.FoxLad 04:26, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Maybe another page would be a little too advanced at this stage - they've only had one season so far. Have you mentioned it on the project page yet? Wilhelmina Will 04:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so.FoxLad 06:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Here are the episodes I know so far. Add more if you know them!
  • Iggy Vs. the Volcano//A Dip in the Pole
  • The Things We Do For Mud//How Much Wood Can A Woodpecker Peck?
  • The Way of the Skunk//I Fought The Laundromat
  • The Fish Who Came For Dinner//Courage Under Fur
  • Paradise Found//Luck Before You Leap
  • Yawny Come Lately//Petition Impossible
  • The Beaver Who Would Be King//I Am Iggy, Hear Me Snore
  • Idle Worship//There's Something About Berries
  • Lights, Camera Distraction!//Fish and Chip off the Old Block
  • Any Friend of Yours//Miner Misfortunes
  • A Whale of a Tale//Big Toe's Faux Paw
  • Nature's Calling//Honey, I Ate the Bug
  • Pig-Coloured Glasses//Art For Iggy's Sake —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.167.181.119 (talk) 19:51, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I'm Amazed This Wasn't Mentioned Sooner.

Along with mentioning the episodes, didn't anyone think it might be wise to include images of the characters? Again, I would do so, if not for two problems. 1. I don't know where such images could be found. 2. I have no idea how to upload images to Wikipedia, anyway. But I seriously think this ought to be done sometime soon. Wilhelmina Will 01:03, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I maybe able to upload images but I would never dare do because of Wikipedia's strict policy of copyrights. The internet maybe a great scource for images. But if we were place images on articles from there, we could risk getting blocked for a long period of time. FoxLad 04:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Then I think that should also be mentioned in the project page. Would you be so kind as to direct me to where exactly you might post an idea like that? Wilhelmina Will 01:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've gotten as much done for this problem as I possibly could. In the meantime, I was wondering... would it be considered speculation to say that Kira and Jiggers seem to be attracted to each other? Or is it worth noting? See, I personally would have said it's worth noting because if you watch the way they tend to behave around each other, especially when speaking to each other, it seems highly likely that they like each other in that way... Wilhelmina Will 05:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

It is great that someone manage to add an image for this article. However, it may not be permanent judging by the information stated in it. FoxLad 11:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ...See right in this Section is what I kinda meant.

Just post your complaints/issues/suggestions/miscellaneous-comments-on-the-article's-progress right in here! Ta-da! Wilhelmina Will 23:33, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I rearranged the different landmarks in the Kookamunga, so that they are listed in alphabetical order. I mentioned this in the summary, but someone will probably notice it here first (unless it's on their watchlist). Again, I hope this helps! Wilhelmina Will 03:54, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

If you want to upload an image to Wikipedia, just make sure that you took the picture, and you use a suitable tag, like this one:
{{Non-free television screenshot}}, which comes out looking like this:

Copyrighted This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program or station ID. As such, the copyright for it is most likely owned by the company or corporation that produced it. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Good luck. Dreamy § 00:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To keep track of everything...

Some users have expressed doubt over whether or not the characters, even in any upcoming seasons of the show, will ever be notable enough to have their own individual articles. I, however, have unconditional faith in them. Because of that, I feel that one day we may have to move this article to the title "Iggy Arbuckle (series)", while the article for Iggy himself will be entitled "Iggy Arbuckle (character)". Like Jiggers the beaver, I like to be prepared for anything which may happen along, so I'm doing the following:

If this ever happens, we will need to fix the links to this page on other wikipedia articles (worry about any external articles later), so I'm going to keep track of these such articles down here:
Just so you know, you can always click the "What links here" link on the left hand side of the page and see a list of all the pages that link to any given page (it will return this special page [1]). Also, you would not need to move the series just because you made a character page, you could just use a {{redirect}} template to indicate the similarly named article (see Harry Potter and Harry Potter (character)).

[edit] Wikipedia articles with links to this one:

[edit] Here's the first of my proposals for section-expansion:

This is involved with the episodes section in this article. I want it to get prepared so that it can be moved to a separate article of its own. But before that can happen, I think it needs some major improvements. Here's what I've noticed needs to be done:

  • 1. There are still four episodes missing. User Bluecatcinema has volunteerd to fill in these blanks when the missing episodes air over in England, but if anyone else knows them, please don't hesitate to add them in.
  • 2. Paragraphs summarizing the main plots of each story in each episode need to be added in. (I intend to do this one.)
  • 3. The original, Canadian airdates need to be added in for most of them (the site I found gave away a few others besides the ones I was able to mention, but it got a lot of the details and organizations muddled up.)
  • 4. If there's any trivia/notes to take, or goofs in any of the episodes, to mention, it should be added ASAP!!! (I intend to do this one as well.)
  • 5. The writers and prominent producers of each episode need to be mentioned as well. (I intend to do this one, but anyone else who'd like to do so is welcome.)
  • 6. If there's any other information someone can find on the origins, inspirations, and/or broadcastings of the show, anywhere, please place these pieces of information in the episodes section, along with a reliable source, cited.

Many Thanks to all those who helped to meet this criteria!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilhelmina Will (talk • contribs) 01:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, the shifting the contents to their own article has been done; so perhaps I'll move a copy of this discussion over to the talkpage. Wilhelmina Will 21:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It has come to my opinion:

Ever since I started pulse-expanding the individual character sections, this thought's always been on my mind: When are they going to have enough individual info for private articles? When are they going to have enough individual info for private articles? When? Well, I decided to work out a plan. And this is how that plan's going to go:

  • To have sufficient info for a private article, a particular character must have enough information to take up at least 20 scroll-downs (100 lines of information, in other words.).
  • The character must have an infobox, and before they can have an infobox, they must have an image available (either to upload, or to cite as a reference.).
  • If a character who had an image at one point got it deleted, for whatever reason, or if the image in the cited website was removed, the character's infobox may remain intact.
  • If the section only has the required amount of lines of information because of the infobox (it would have had about 90-95 without,), that can still count, and the character may have his/her article started anyway.
  • We should work with the core mains/secondaires, first, but when any of the characters finally reaches this criteria, they may have a private article provided.

[edit] Main and secondary characters with Infoboxes:

[edit] How many lines of information does each of the mains and secondaires have?

Wait one second.................... Wilhelmina Will 03:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Iggy Arbuckle = 23 lines of information. 77 more lines to go!!! Wilhelmina Will 03:18, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Jiggers = 24 lines of information. 76 more lines to go!!! Wilhelmina Will 03:20, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I would actually recommend not starting separate articles unless you have sufficient out-of-universe information to establish individual notability, consider reading Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) and Wikipedia:Writing about fiction for details. What I would recommend is that you expand the coverage of the show itself in this article and remove some of the info on minor characters (particularly those who only appear in a single episode) Have a look at featured articles like The Simpsons or Scooby Doo to see examples of what could be added (obviously it will be hard to find as much info as those two long running shows but it's a good jumping off point). If you feel the article has become overbalanced with character info and it can no longer be suitably contained in this article I would recommend creating List of characters from Iggy Arbuckle to cover major or significant recurring characters until there is out-of-universe info and secondary sources as stated before. I could try to help if you'd like but I've never actually seen the show so it would be mostly just finding sources and cleanup type activities. Stardust8212 03:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I did once create an article with a similar title to that. But User: Treelo did some similar things to what you mentioned, to it, and since I had asked him for help on the article, there wasn't much I could do about that. So I returned them to here, because I had not asked for help on this article. Perhaps I can bring the other one back now, and this article can focus on both in-and-out-universe information on the show itself. Not an entirely-bad idea! Wilhelmina Will 03:45, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TV.com

Could anyone put a page for this up on TV.com? Bluecatcinema 13:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Would this be advertising?

In the "External links" section, I want to add a link to the game. But I'm not sure if this is advertising or not. If it isn't, then I'll go right ahead. If it is, then I won't add it in. I'll give others twenty days to respond. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 08:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] An official site?

Does an official Iggy Arbuckle website exist? I've never seen one, but if there is, a link to it should be provided in the "External Links" section; it also might help with some reference-needs. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Second season

Sorry to upset fans of the show, but as the series is not currently production, a second season is unlikely.

It certainly won't make it to air by April 2008, as if it went into production today, it would take a year before the episodes were fully animated and ready for broadcast. 172.163.75.95 (talk) 02:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Then that must be what they meant when they said "...if Season two does happen, it'll be around April". They must have meant that it would begin production then. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment from TV Project

This article has been assessed as a start class article. The layout needs a lot of work and does not comply with the general Wikipedia MOS nor the TV series MOS. The lead section does not meet the requirements at WP:LEAD, there is no response/reaction section at all, and several sections are stub sections (most notably the production section, which needs expansion). The referencing system is inconsistent and needs to be standardized. The image in the infobox is too large and the setting section is unnecessary. The setting section itself should be in prose format and only focus on the most relevant places. I've left tags related to some of these concerns on the article. Collectonian (talk) 05:20, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A response section is going to be difficult to produce.

If the only kind of citations allowed are reliable, third-party documentations. Or if it has to focus on how the critics have received the show. The only sources I can think of are discussion threads for fans, or the Internet Movie Database. I frequently search Google high and low for information on the show in every aspect, and this is the best I've ever been able to find. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 08:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it has to use reliable, third party sources, no fan boards or IMDB ratings. You are correct that it may be difficult to add one for this particular show. Does Canada have anything like the Nielsen Ratings that might have the viewership for the series? Or the UK for the showing on Jetix there? Any professional reviewers do a review of the series? Collectonian (talk) 08:21, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
They might, and they might also, and then again they might. I've never actually heard of the Nielsen Ratings before, and I haven't found anything as of yet on what the United Kingdom officially thinks of it, or any professionals, anywhere, who have said anything. Maybe I'm searching under the wrong headings, though... be right back! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 08:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Nope, didn't work. Only a few search collections were featured (meaning only about fifty or sixty links were found in the search), and while nearly all of them had all or most of the key words, nearly none of them had anything at all to do with Iggy Arbuckle. Even moreso, not a single one of them said anything about the show's reception with the critics, not a single one. You'd think the show escaped the professional critic's gaze altogether! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 08:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
May need to try some off-line searching, or look in some news databases. Collectonian (talk) 09:10, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Perhaps something to include in the Production section

One thing I've always wanted to include was information on how the voice actors of the show were selected, and what followed after that. Collectonian, do you agree that this should at least be looked into? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 08:53, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, if sourceable information can be found, that is exactly the sort of information that should be included :) Collectonian (talk) 09:08, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should this be included?

[2] That this show is to be featured among the shows here? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:45, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
