Disambiguation links on pages tagged by this wikiproject
Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Animation

Template for cartoon characters and template for animated series characters
I propose to create templates under the names: Template:Infobox cartoon character and Template:Infobox animated series character. In Russian Wikipedia, there is only a template for the character of the animated series, but there is no template infobox character from cartoon. But I also suggest, after creating a template for the animated series character, to combine with him the character patterns of the Simpsons, South Park and others that are in EnWiki. In general, my idea is to use templates in articles about characters who appeared only in a cartoon or an animated series, and if the character drawn appeared in movies, video games and other format, then simply use a character template.

Tom & Jerry "English", and italics
Why are cartoons like the original Tom & Jerry cartoon episodes being infoboxed and sometimes categorized as English-language, when they have no dialogue at all (some of the later episodes did, but not the original series).

Furthermore, I'm finding most of these with and given in italics in the infoboxes, but as episodes they should be in quotation marks per MOS:TITLES. The only one I care about watchlist-wise is "Cue Ball Cat", but there seems to a whole lot of cleanup to do. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  18:02, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I can only answer the first, since I'm only an enWP-visitor. The original T&J had dialogue, just no dialogue from T&J. The side characters Spike and Tyke, the landlady and many others had spoken early. --H8149 (talk) 10:31, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Fake nominees in list of award ceremonies
While translating 44th Annie Awards in French, I've noticed discrepancies between the entries listed in the article and the list of nominees in additional sources. After a quick check of the official source, I've established these entries (about SpongeBob SquarePants and Sesame Street) are fake and immediately removed them.

I'm concerned, though. Who did this? Are there more fakes like this? Is it part of a wider marketing campaign or "test" of Wikipedia? I'm not used to Wikipedia in English and need to opinion about it. J. N. Squire (talk) 20:34, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template Transclude lead excerpt.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist  07:25, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Need help finding sources for Portable hole
I've been working on Portable hole. When I started, it was almost entirely unsourced WP:OR. I've made some progress finding sources, but not as much as I'd like. Many entries remain unsourced, and many of the sources I've added are, admittedly, not reliable. There's no doubt that this is a notable concept, having been used in film, cartoons, and literature by many authors. But, good sources are hard to find. I'd appreciate any help. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:39, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Family Guy articles failing WP:ALLPLOT
I have deleted numerous articles about individual Family Guy episodes that are not notable enough to warrant individual articles, but editors still recreate them (examples include Passenger Fatty-Seven, Guy, Robot, Scammed Yankees, and A Lot Going on Upstairs). In an effort to avoid a WP:3RR violation, can somebody else consider, at the very least, redirecting and watching the articles so that they are not recreated again? This is extremely annoying.-- Molandfreak  (talk,   contribs,  email) 14:52, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi! Thanks for pinging me. I understand your concern, especially with some non-notable episodes which shouldn't have pages, but some other ones that were deleted (such as Passenger Fatty-Seven for its tribute to Carrie Fisher, which I sourced btw) may actually have some notable sources to back their notability. I'm not an admin, but I suggest that we get some other opinions in and open a discussion on what constitutes an episode notable or not, so that we can finally resolve this. Can you provide some examples of Family Guy episodes considered notable enough for their own articles?--WuTang94 (talk) 16:03, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Ratatouille
I posted this to the Pixar workgroup but I don't know if they're still terribly active, so I wanted to post this here as well. I just saw that someone had marked Ratatouille (film) (which is at GA status) with several tags. I don't really see where either tag is applicable, but because this is a GA, I wanted to get another person to review the article to ensure that they don't really apply to the article. Basically, if this does fail GA criteria (which it needing tags would) then it'll need to be fixed. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  13:35, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like a drive-by tagging - no comments were left, the editor moved onto other topics, etc. And as that is on my watching and I've edited it in the past, I'm not seeing where those issues are so obvious as to need tags at the top (copy-edits are required on 99.9999+% of every WP article but there's not a need to call that out if the article is still legible, and I have no idea where the tone is at). If you feel that tag was added for no reason, you can delete it. --M asem (t) 13:46, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey guys, I am writing to express substantial concern about the quality and notability of an article about Vyond (formerly GoAnimate).

Della Duck standalone article proposal
Hello, I’ve created a standalone Della Duck article draft at Draft:Della Duck, including substantial work aggregating reliable sources with coverage of the character and depiction in recent years (and even covering the character’s lack of depiction in past animation!), in my opinion demonstrating notability. I’ve posted on other project pages, but as explained below, I need to find more editors to weigh in.

The first AfC submission was declined because there was not yet a discussion or consensus on the Talk:Duck family (Disney) page about whether a Della Duck standalone article is appropriate.

Questions regarding topic improvement
I am currently working on the Talking Tom and Friends (TV series) article (in my sandbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RedBulbBlueBlood9911/sandbox)), but I have a few queries related to my work: RedBulbBlueBlood9911 (talk) 13:40, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) There is hardly any major information (excluding reception) about the show outside the YouTube videos of the show and the show’s official site (I believe that almost all publicly available information about the show is already covered in the article), so I am currently adding citations and rewriting paragraphs and episode summaries. If done properly, what is the highest class this article can achieve?
 * 2) It turns out that many different writers were working on different episodes in season 1, so should I add them all or just the ones that wrote many episodes?

Recent activity at the Kimba the White Lion article
There's been a spate of recent activity at the Kimba the White Lion article in the section dedicated to the Lion King controversy. This activity seems to have been triggered by the appearance of a new YouTube video that claims to debunk some of the arguments used by those claiming uncredited influence regarding scenes and plot in Kimba the White Lion upon the first Lion King movie. Inexperienced editors had been removing sourced material and making what I feel are overhasty changes to the section. My feeling is that it is not Wikipedia's role to arbitrate the Lion King controversy, but merely to present the history and reasons behind the controversy, and that both reliably sourced arguments and counter-arguments are fine and appropriate in that section. Activity has settled down somewhat since the instatement of page protection from anonymous IP editing, but I suspect it will ramp up again after the expiration of the protection in a few days.

In the meantime, some discussion comments have appeared on the article talk page and remain unresolved. Some are calling into question at least one of the section's sources (a book by Madhavi Sunder). If someone can identify WP:RS third party sources that support these claims (or counter them), then I think that'd help resolve this ongoing concerns. I'm also open to having the article mention the YouTube video claims, though other editors differ on this. Anyhow, input from project members would be appreciated at Talk:Kimba the White Lion. Thanks.&mdash;Myasuda (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Lots of unsourced, non-notable articles
I'm noticing a lot of these from Golden Age of American animation studios. E.g. I have turned many Tom and Jerry shorts into redirects that have no assertion of notability and in many cases, either no sources at all or only a single unreliable source. I recommend users here take a look at some American animation shorts articles to see how widespread this problem is. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:50, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm bringing this up to community attention again as I am finding a lot of entirely unsourced or trivially-sourced (i.e. a passing reference that only establishes they exist, not notability). I am redirecting these to appropriate targets. I'll go thru other shorts (e.g. Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies) following this. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:38, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Virtually all of the Tom and Jerry shorts were not appropriate for a full article. I'm seeing the same thing with Betty Boop and Woody Woodpecker. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:57, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirects to a list of shorts is completely fair. The reason they probably exist as there are a number of standalone Looney Tunes shorts, but when we're talking works like "What's Opera, Doc" and "The Rabbit of Seville", they have clear notability. Unfortunately while Tom and Jerry and other cartoons also made that Golden Age of Animation, their individual shorts were nowhere close to this. So redirecting is a fair enough option. --M asem  (t) 21:01, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

See above. You have had a month to source these articles and have refused (in addition to the years or decade-plus that they have exited here). We cannot have original research, so we must show reliable sources that prove notability. These fundamental policies apply to all articles, even ones about cartoon shorts. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * See above. We cannot have these unsourced articles. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Note: Koavf, has linked me to this thread from my talk page., User:Koavf indeed has a valid point here. Articles on wikipedia must be able to pass our notability criteria. WP:NFILM for example or, even WP:GNG. If you disagree with User:Koavf and would want the article to stay then find reliable source that can establish the notability criteria and restore the article back from WP:PAGEHISTORY. There is absolutely no time limit to do this revert and you can do it whenever you get time, but please remember that the sources must be WP:RS and independent of the subject. Koavf if you find that Visikor has reverted or undone your redirect without adding sources that can establish the notability, then the only option left for you will be to take it to WP:AFD asking for a redirect and let the community decide. regards. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  11:01, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , I don't think the articles should be deleted--they are valid redirects. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, but if an editor believes that the article should be redirected and another disagrees, they should discuss it on the talk page and decide. If they are not able to come to a consensus, then the editor who believes the article should be redirected should take it to AfD for a discussion among the wider community with a "proposal to redirect". The community will then help to judge the notability and decide on it. There is no point in edit warring to add and revert a redirect. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  17:57, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , WP:AFD is for deletion, not redirection. Redirect can be an outcome but that's not the purpose of the page, nor what I am proposing. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:07, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * From my talk:
 * I think a reply from me is warranted here, since I am (peripherally) involved in this: I don't see how claims that lack sources are of use to anyone who reads or edits Wikipedia. Content should be verified with reliable sources. Articles about fictional works should also have source-verified content that demonstrates notability—that is, descriptions of backgrounds and critic reviews of the works (articles about The Simpsons episodes are a good example of this); not just a plot summary, otherwise we're just left with an indiscriminate collection of information. Conversely, the Hanna–Barbera Tom and Jerry cartoons were made decades ago, long before computers even existed, so sources that might make these cartoons eligible for stand-alone articles might not be so easily accessible through internet searching—such sources may only be found in old newspapers which aren't stored digitally. Redirecting unreferenced articles for which sources can't be found easily seems to me to be reasonable (as long as their titles are plausible search terms), as the good-faith edits to the articles are preserved under the redirects instead of just being completely deleted, and the redirection can (but shouldn't necessarily) be reversed at any time. By the way, I have filed a full-protection request for The Midnight Snack as this edit war is getting out of hand. Linguist111my talk page 03:46, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Just another two cents. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:12, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Masem what is your opinion, on how to proceed when 2 editors disagree if the article should be redirected or kept. IMHO an AfD is the best place to decide on the notability in such cases. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  05:36, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * AFD would be the wrong place to take what everyone knows at worst will end up as a redirect. AFD should only be used when the initial goal is deletion. In this case, since there is a desire to redirect and nothing worse, then the best solution is to start an RFC on some reasonable page so that it gets picked up by the RFC. (You'd probably want to at minimum ping the Television wikiproject, they have had to deal with the same aspects here). --M asem (t) 05:52, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That's not the current consensus on redirects at AfD. See WP:ATD-R, WP:BLAR, and Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Archive 71. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 07:18, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , The second sentence at WP:AFD says (emphasis added): "For problems that do not require deletion, including duplicate articles, articles needing improvement, pages needing redirects, or POV problems, be bold and fix the problem or tag the article appropriately." I read this as beings needing to be redirected. It's disappointing to me to see you adding unsourced information to our encyclopedia: I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative "I heard it somewhere" pseudo information is to be tagged with a "needs a cite" tag. Wrong.  It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced.  This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons. – Jimbo Wales, 16 May 2006 Why do you think that adding back unsourced information is acceptable? ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:36, 25 September 2019 (UTC)


 * 13 year old quotes from Jimbo are not policy. I was involved in the discussions about redirects at AfD and actually agreed with you, but nevertheless that wasn't the consensus. In any case it doesn't matter. Discuss at AfD or discuss on a talk page. The important thing is that you discuss; edit warring is unacceptable.

 * I see that the case where "when a redirect has been challenged" has been specifically added as an allowed AFD (there has long been a stance that AFD is *not* "articles for discussion" meaning you should bring non-admin actions like merges and redirects should not be covered at AFD). As that now is explicitly allowed, and there is clearly a dispute over the redirecting, then I would recommend AFDing a few - like 3 to 5 - of these shorts to get larger consensus, on the basis that really for redirecting them all but doesn't make sense to make that massive a nom at one time. --M asem  (t) 14:35, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

I hate to admit it, but this entire conversation has become way too technical for me to fully understand. You guys are talking about the possibility of garnering discussion of certain individual Looney Tunes/Tom & Jerry cartoon articles about their notability on WP. As I see it, no article should exist on WP without reliable sources. As one pointed out, these types of sources were more scarce when these cartoons were created, which took place decades before the Internet as we know it came about. I would be completely for converting appropriate articles into redirects for those that have questionable sources (i.e. only mentioning the source material in passing, or at all). All of these cartoons do exist, but existence and popularity do not necessarily equate to notability. If an editor wishes to redirect an article with inadequate sources to a more appropriate page, such as a list of Tom & Jerry cartoons, then so be it. No deletion or AFD should have to take place. If a single cartoon reel is not notable enough to be its own article, its title should become a redirect to a relevant list. That's all there is to it.

Update to peer review page
Hi all, I've boldly updated your project's peer review page (WikiProject Animation/Peer review) by updating the instructions and archiving old reviews.

The new instructions use Wikipedia's general peer review process (WP:PR) to list peer reviews. Your project's reviews are still able to be listed on your local page too.

The benefits of this change is that review requests will get seen by a wider audience and are likely to be attended to in a more timely way (many WikiProject peer reviews remain unanswered after years). The Wikipedia peer review process is also more maintained than most WikiProjects, and this may help save time for your active members.

I've done this boldly as it seems your peer review page is pretty inactive and I am working through around 90 such similar peer review pages. Please feel free to discuss below - please ping me in your response.

Cheers and hope you are well, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:23, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

The article Looney Tunes Platinum Collection has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Article reads like an advertisement or press release, and has only one source for its 10.03-year history."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Excerpt:"The son of pastor Douglas Wilson of the controversial Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, and a close associate have made significant inroads into mainstream culture in America with a successful streaming cartoon based on a book published by the church’s own imprint.

The Guardian has previously reported on how the church, which aims to create a theocracy in the US, has increased its power and influence in its home town, while also campaigning vociferously against efforts to curb the coronavirus pandemic. Those developments come amid a broader rise in the right wing across the US. At the same time Christ church is seeking to use television and book publishing to enter US popular culture and promote its interests." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/28/christ-church-us-christian-right-group-books-cartoon-nature-doc

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from cite web, cite journal and doi.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a class parameter to WikiProject banner shell, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to WikiProject banner shell, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass WPBannerMeta a new custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I have a dispute and I want your opinion
Hello, I will try to keep everything short, I am an editor and my question is about my dispute with the editor "Andrzejbanas" about The Super Mario Bros. movie. in the paragraph about countries, the USA and only it are indicated. This is where our discussion began. Because at first I wrote that Japan also took part in addition to the USA (because the film was also made by Nintendo, which is a Japanese company), to which this editor did not agree and asked me for proof, then I threw him this https://eiga.com /news/20230418/13/ and wrote about the phrase here's the translation of the phrase "This work produced jointly by Illumination and Nintendo." To which another editor came and replied that "You're right, but I think we should discuss on talk page about Nintendo being Japanese company." Which really surprised me because Shigeru Miyamoto is listed as the producer and he is the head of Nintendo (Japanese) and the head of the American Doug Bowser who is not listed at all (I also understand that nationality does not play a role and that in the conditional Japanese Nintendo there may be non-Japanese as well as vice versa, but this is not the case here.) (I also understand that nationality does not play a role and that in the conditional Japanese Nintendo there may be non-Japanese as well as vice versa, but this is not the case here.) But okay, let's go with that. Later, I sent sources where Japan is indicated or that Japan has a part in the creation by dropping the link https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Super-Mario-Bros-Movie-The-(2022)#tab=summary To which, after my source, he replied "The-Numbers pulls it's information from IMDb, which we don't use as a source per WP" well, I agreed with the rules of Wikipedia, but I also sent him an interview https://www.bloomberg. com/news/newsletters/2023-04-09/super-mario-bros-producer-explains-the-movie-s-box-office-success and this https://variety.com/2023/film/features/super -mario-bros-movie-shigeru-miyamoto-interview-1235572488/ where Japan is mentioned and it is said about communion with creation.To which he also disagrees, I want to ask a question, the source that this editor requires (I really don’t understand how much more sources he needs to confirm), but let’s say I’m wrong here and maybe Japan is not related, but based on his requirements, why then the USA is indicated with a source that says nothing at all about the USA and is even worse and not more accurate than mine (because there, in general, about the countries where they did it were not indicated in the source to the United States, only companies), while when I threw him the same about Japan, he did not agree, and even with the sources where it is nevertheless indicated or said.Therefore, I would like to know which of us is still right here and whether I have the right to enter Japan into the countries of the filmmakers? I understand that such sources https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Super-Mario-Bros-Movie-The-(2022)#tab=summary are not considered accurate by Wikipedia, but in this case based on the sites above sources to the United States are also without any evidence, he does not mind indicating although there is also a source where there is no evidence, but he does not agree with Japan. Maybe I'm wrong here, but why then is the source in the USA also without any evidence and is this normally considered for him? It just seems to me that everything is unfair (his arguments) I'm asking for your opinion on this situation and I'm not saying that I'm extremely right or anything, but this situation is extremely strange for me and it seems like the other editor does not want to listen to the other side at all and is hypocritical in some way. Because I'm already afraid to say something there, because LancedSoul threatens me with punishment. Xaskithe (talk) 22:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It's just that it's very strange that my sources for this editor seem "insufficient" but at the same time he does not see problems in the source attached to the United States (which confirms nothing at all and even less confirms than mine.) In that case, why is it written? After all, this is also an "insufficient source" that does not confirm anything, but simply names the companies who made the film (the same absolutely similar source that I attached to Japan, but which this editor described as "Insufficient") But it's absolutely the same "Insufficient" in the opinion it is also attached to the USA. Xaskithe (talk) 23:32, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I will also add that I am not the only editor with such a problem, after me and before there were also many editors who had a dispute about this with Andrzejbanas and he neither gave me nor them anything really confirming why no one can add Japan to the countries of the filmmakers.

Criteria for listing on pages for years in animation, e.g. 2020 in animation
I have noticed on pages devoted to years in animation such as 2020 in animation, for the birth or death years, there are entries for famous people whose voice contributions consist of only one or two animated episodes. It seems to be usually guest voices on episodes of The Simpsons.

Examples from 2020 in animation (although issue is on multiple pages from multiple years):

January 2: John Baldessari, American conceptual artist (voiced himself in The Simpsons episode "3 Scenes Plus a Tag from a Marriage"), dies at age 88.

February 5: Kirk Douglas, American actor (voice of Chester J. Lampwick in The Simpsons episode "The Day the Violence Died"), dies at age 103

March 2: James Lipton, American writer, lyricist and actor (voice of The Director in Bolt, voiced himself in The Simpsons episodes "The Sweetest Apu" and "Homer the Father"), dies from bladder cancer at age 93

March 8: Max von Sydow, Swedish-French actor (voice of Klaus Ziegler in The Simpsons episode "The Art of War"), dies at age 90

Under WP:NOTEVERYTHING, I do not think that birth or death dates for voice contributions of only one or two animated episodes is enough for birth and death dates to be included on these pages. I am seeking input from others. Kaltenmeyer (talk) 19:13, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Discussion at Content assessment
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. &#x0020;This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects. Thanks! &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 21:19, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
