Phineas is not 8 there ages have never officialy been givin.Strootlecutie4427 (talk) 02:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)strootlecutie4427

Actually, I think we're guessing that until we figure out the official dates. I just guessed Ferb's height, 3'2", after comparing Phineas' height to Ferb's Height, Ferb is just a few inches taller.

Revamped
I will remake this page, if no one has a problem with it. It was merged 'cause it was cruddy, but now it won't. I can make a sandbox, but if not, I'll just make the page. SuperFlash101 (talk) 20:30, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments arising from copyedit
Hi - I just did a couple of copyedit passes through this article. It's looking OK, but there's a few things that need some attention (and that your GA reviewer is bound to pick up):


 * "Phineas has been positively reviewed by critics, one describing him and his brother as a "comical pairing of boisterous."" That sentence ends on an adjective, which can't be right. It needs rephrasing to make sense.


 * "Phineas is portrayed as a selfless, intelligent, and creative child." Can you get a citation to support this? If not, it sounds too close to original research.


 * "This decision was made to make the texture more thematic." - I wasn't sure what this sentence means. Can you rephrase it?

Otherwise, looks to me like you've done a good job avoiding in-universe tone and citing your sources. Good luck with the GA nomination! Gonzonoir (talk) 20:52, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Ferb page
I was thinking of having a page for Ferb Fletcher, seeing that he is one of the series' main co-stars, along with Phineas. After all the title is "Phineas and Ferb, if I may point that out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by J.Severe (talk • contribs) 22:21, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I totally agree. Ferb plays just as large as a role (although not through speaking) in the episodes, and has just as much information about him. I don't understand why Phineas should get a page while Ferb does not.

In fact, I think that we should maybe delete this article. Nothing here is not covered in the main show article or the character one. unsigned
 * Not true. Please read Wikipedia policy on television articles and articles in generally. Ferb does not have a page because no one has taken the time to make a page that has reliable references and non-fictional-biography info. Thank you.  The Flash  {talk} 00:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I still say that this article should be deleted, however. There is nothing here that is not covered in the main series page and the character page. The character page mentions his personality and role, the main page talks about the concept and creation of the character and the show, the reception and media is covered along with the show with the show article, as well. The only thing missing is perhaps some exact quotes from people, which could easily be merged with the characters article. unsigned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.58.109 (talk) 22:18, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The page fits WP:NOTABLE - please understand Wikipedia policy. That character list is, honestly, terrible - no reliable sources (or refs at all) and all pretty much WP:CRUFT. This page should not be deleted or merged in any way with any of those. Thank you.  The Flash  {talk} 22:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Removed relationships section
It was all Original Research and none of it was referenced. It would have never made it to Good Article with that. If you want to put it in your subpage (User:YOURNAME/SUBPAGE) and try and reference every sentence with Reliable sources, then you are free to do so.

Internet meme/image macro
there is an image macro w/ a picture of phineas with the words "pyramid [from silent hill] head as a child" super imposed above it. should it be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.149.185.146 (talk) 20:26, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No, unless there is a reliable source to back it up, by which I mean newspaper, online news site, etc.  The Flash  I am Jack's   complete   lack of surprise 20:09, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Noble Prize?
It says in the opening that "It is also said in Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo that he had won the nobel prize, as he was in Switzerland at the time for the "award ceremony"." This statement isn't completely accurate. While Linda Flynn-Fletcher does say that "Phineas is in Switzerland for the award ceremony" no one actually states that Phineas won the Noble Prize. That's the obvious assumption, but it's still an assumption. I'd think the sentence would be more accurate as "It is insinuated in Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo that he had won the nobel prize, as he was in Switzerland at the time for the "award ceremony". But just my opinion...  Sleeptech (talk) 07:11, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

And the Nobel Prizes are awarded in Sweden, not Switzerland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.8.152 (talk) 23:39, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
