Marina
Hi, thanks for all your recent edits. We really appreciate all your help. I noticed that you added that Marina originally went to Mighty Mountain, but then transferred to Lakewood. Where did you get this information? --Muppetfan 19:33, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I found it on Wikipedia where you can find some brief information about things. It said something about Marina wearing a Mighty Mountain soccer uniform in one appearance, and a Lakewood uniform in another; which I think it means that she originally went to school at Mighty Mountain, but transferred over to Lakewood, and it could mean that Marina appears to become more friendly with someone from Lakewood than anyone at Mighty Mountain. --FrancineFan3883 14:37, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've often seen a rabbit that is white and has hair like Marina sometimes on the Mighty Mountain team and sometimes on the Lakewood team, but it isn't Marina. It is an unnamed rabbit. I think maybe it is supposed to be the unnamed one with the blue and pink striped shirt that is sometimes seen in Mr. Ratburn's class. Some Wikipedia user just messed up and thought it was Marina. The stuff on Wikipedia isn't always true. I didn't notice this until now, but it is the fact about Marina and the soccer uniforms is actually on our List of Arthur characters page, since it is basically a copy of an old version of Wikipedia's List of Arthur characters page. --Muppetfan 20:39, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sometimes Wikipedia can have information that might be unreliable. Maybe Marina is probably homeschooled unlike the other characters. --FrancineFan3883 15:52, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just watched Prunella Sees the Light, and found out that Marina was wearing a Mighty Mountain soccer uniform. --FrancineFan3883 21:15, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're right. I've never noticed that before now. --Muppetfan 10:40, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi, welcome to Arthur Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Rodentia Ratburn page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Noahcs (Talk) 19:15, June 28, 2010

Affiliation Request
Hello, I'm Furrtwo, from the WordGirl Wiki. After browsing a bit on this site, I found you're doing a very good job with upkeep and editing, and are the most active contributor here. I am an admin and the most active contributor on my Wiki, and with our two Wikis being based upon two of the most popular shows on PBS Kids Go!, I was wondering if you would be interested in an affiliation between the two Wikis. The WordGirl Wiki would link to here, and the Arthur Wiki would link to there, and if any of both of our visitors were interested in each other's Wikis, they could easily go to it. Win-win for both of us.

Anyway, I just wanted to know if you're interested or not. If you really think it wouldn't help our Wikis or if you think our Wikis aren't ready, go ahead and say so.

Thanks for reading, ~Furrtwo the Fantastic 22:58, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Is it safe to say that you are the founder of this wiki? How long have you been watching/reading Arthur? -bloo d00d


 * I'm not the founder of this Wiki. I only became a user just four months ago. There are some images on the Wiki that were posted before I became a user here. --FrancineFan3883 17:02, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Page changes
How do you change a page and rename it?


 * Very simple. Like if you wanted to change a page, click on the down arrow beside the "Edit this page" button, and type in a new name for a new article (if it does not exist yet), or just merge into another article by typing in the # sign, then "redirect" (all caps without spacing after the # sign), and then type in two left brackets, then the name of the article you're going to merge the stuff into, and then the two right brackets. --FrancineFan3883 23:26 December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Arthur's Glasses
I thought Arthur was always careful with his glasses. So He was careful with them as he bathes and swims. So don't really think it's a goof.


 * Yeah, but in that case, it's certainly a cartoon. If a person did it in reality, his or her glasses could get lost or damaged. --FrancineFan3883 11:27, March 8th, 2011 (UTC)
 * Whatever.
 * Anyway,

Character Mistake
Dear FrancineFan3883,

I just wanted to let you know that the character you did of Tammy is not Tammy. That's Debbie. Tammy is Cathrine's Friend who has the really long brown hair. If you don't believe me you can check the episode Muffy Gets Mature. I just wanted to correct you on your mistake. Good luck.

Sincerely

John700
 * I didn't create those articles or upload those pictures. --FrancineFan3883 0:28, January 5th, 2011 (UTC)

Betsy
Heya, what do you think about the Betsy page? Remember when Sue Ellen met some person on a train named Betsy?

LukePhiladelphia 21:22, January 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but this isn't the place for opinions. --FrancineFan3883 0:30, January 5th, 2011 (UTC).

Amusement Park
Hey.. do you know what these pages for some sort of theme park are for? For example, http://arthur.wikia.com/wiki/Prunella_Owns_the_City_Light_Factory.? I don't understand it.. all of those pages are made by a guest of the wiki.


 * I tried looking up those rides, but no results. I think there are no such rides based on the Arthur series, sadly. I saw a lot of guest contributors creating articles about rides, but it was just hard to believe. --FrancineFan3883 18:38 January 5th, 2011 (UTC)

D.W. Read
Never mind my idea of D.W.'s dislikes.

Okay
Ever notice this (http://arthur.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/74.105.102.110) user? They're making unrelated episodes that are not about the Arthur TV series, books, or even Postcards from Buster. Here, I'll link you to a few of them.

Marierella cast

Kitty in walk in the woods

Stuck on chirtmas list cast

For more just read their special contributions.

Ed Crosswire's Car
Which episode did you get the picture of Ed Crosswire's car?


 * It was from the episode Dad's Dessert Dilemma. Every time I upload a screenshot of anything, I always credit the episodes where they came from. --FrancineFan3883 17:54, January 12th, 2011 (UTC)

Image!?
Hi. I'm having some trouble with the Arthur Episode template. I'm entering an image, but it won't show up! It's annoying - can you help? MillieMuddFan67 20:01, January 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Here are the codes for templates, click here. --FrancineFan3883 23:36, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I figured out the problem! MillieMuddFan67 18:41, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Lost!
About the episode "Lost!," Maybe you'd change it to "Lost! (episode).

Arthur's Almost-Boring Day
I don't understand why all of Arthur & D.W.'s argument was bothering Kate 3 times.

Re:Locations and Appearances
Okay, but what about things that appear in MANY episodes such as the Sugar Bowl? And I believe that there should be a Template for Places, don't you? LukePhiladelphia 02:22, February 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, and if it's a business-related one, it would have a type that if it's either public (by government) or private (by an individual). --FrancineFan3883 20:36, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Good idea.
Good idea. How do you make a template? Eh, maybe I'll try it tomorrow. I'm not an administrator of this wiki or anything, I just edit a lot like the other few active users on here.


 * I don't know how to make a template from scratch, but if a template were created that I'm expecting, I could only edit it for enhancements. --FrancineFan3883 21:09 February 4th, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, check out the Sugar Bowl and Ice Cream Shop pages. I found a template (well, I made one.) And I also noticed there are LOTS of vandilists. Some people aren't even doing it on purpose I don't think, like this user below. They're made over 50 pages that make no sense and do not relate to Arthur at all. We should really get some admins here.

Arthur Read and Mary Moo Cow Vandalism
The user Arthursucksdick and the IP adress 71.221.252.105. They added a deletion for the page and used swear word. Changing the age and profile. The user also vandalised the page Mary Moo Cow, deleting all of the information. Please do something about this

Thanks 77.98.210.75 15:27, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hi FrancineFan, I was just wondering if you could change the title of Francine's grandmother's page, currently titled 'bubba', to 'Bubbie'. I changed the rest for you, just don't know how to change the title.

Thanks,

Arthurinfo

Thank you for changing the title. -Arthurinfo

[Bleep! episode]

Hey, I am not trying to be rude, but, in the 'Controversy' paragraph, it says that the curse word D.W. says was thought to be the 'B word' or the 'F word', but, from what I am hearing, it sounds alot more likely to be the 'C word'. When D.W. yells at Jane and the word is bleeped, Jane says, "What did you just say to me?", and D.W. replies, "C-an I have a soda?" She stops herself at C--, but you can tell what she is about to say. Just pointing that out.

you're welcome.

Frenski
Hi FrancineFan,

Just wanted you to know that Francine's last name is spelled Frenski on the PBS Arthur site. Most pages here spell it, "Frensky." Just wanted to let you know.


 * Yeah, but her last name is actually "Frensky", even on title cards for episodes like Francine Frensky, Superstar, Francine Frensky, Olympic Rider, and Citizen Frensky. --FrancineFan3883 15:36 March 12th, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks, sorry about that.

Are you an Administrator? If you are, please promote me to Admin as I noticed a lot of speedy deletion pages that haven't been deleted.

p.s. Why hasn't Noahcs edited anything in awhile? And who started Arthur Wikia?

65.103.50.210 21:50, March 20, 2011 (UTC)Jacksonian


 * I'm not sure who exactly started this Wiki here, but I'm not sure how some users can become administrators to take some administrative control. --FrancineFan3883 23:13, March 20th, 2011 (UTC)

Adopting This Wiki
As it appears that neither of the two current administrators have been actively editing in awhile (no one knows who the second admin is anyway), I suggest you or LukePhiladelphia adopt the wiki. It is simply impossible to stop page vandalism without having an active admin. The link is http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Adoption_requests216.159.13.120 20:23, March 22, 2011 (UTC)Jacksonian


 * And, I think there should be some new and more specific rules about uploading images. Some should say that for the screenshots, they need to be the correct aspect ratio (4:3 for seasons 1-11, and 16:9 for seasons 12-onwards). Also, if a screenshot is from an episode, they need to credit which episode it came from. And also, if the screenshot is from a computer game, they need to credit which computer game it came from. --FrancineFan3883 22:26, March 22nd, 2011 (UTC)

Adoption Request
This message has been posted on the following talk pages: User talk:Jacksonian, User talk:FrancineFan3883, User talk:LukePhiladelphia

To the three of you wanting to adopt this wiki, you need to decide which of you should be given the rights. Ater this discussion has been completed, post a link to the discussion on the adoption requests page, stating who should get the rights. Remember: the adoptee can give rights to the other two!!!

Eladkse 17:14 19 March 2011

I'm okay with not becoming an admin, though I would prefer it. I could serve as a bureaucrat if it is alright with everyone. Thanks. Jacksonian 216.159.13.120 20:39, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Please comment on LukePhiladelphia's talk page
As of right now, the only thing we need to do to adopt the wiki is for you to comment on LukePhiladelphia's talk page in the newest section.Jacksonian 12:25, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Adopt the Wiki
It would be great, we could delete all these bulk pages. Leave a comment on my user page about us 3 adopting the Arthur Wiki.

Bad wiki contributors
Some wiki contributors are bad!

They always ruin each page.

Can you please do something about this? Like taking things back & get the contributors BANNED?


 * Yeah, you know like BillyCastleman, he was constantly vandalizing that Binky Barnes article by referring to Binky Barnes as a chicken nugget, even though that character is actually a bulldog. And more than fifty times worse, that user renamed it to "Derrick", plus it has a real life image on some person, which it does not belong on this Wiki. --FrancineFan3883 3:53, April 22nd, 2011 (UTC)
 * No offence, but Binky does kinda look like a chicken nugget. But, that is just my opinion.Pestige 05:08, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Even if someone says "no offense", it turns out they're doing it anyway. Binky is NOTHING like a chicken nugget, so no more opinions please. --FrancineFan3883 0:30, April 25th, 2011 (UTC)
 * I contacted Wikia and they banned BillyCastleman and RandalWeemes for us. This could be useful in the future. Another thing, please comment on Luke Philadelphia's talk page about adopting the wiki and paste it on to our adoption request.65.103.51.243 00:35, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

Fixed some of the vandalized pages
I just got through undoing some of the pages that were vandalised by Wiki contributors. By the way this character the 3nd Grade Female Aardvark I made an error with it. It's suppose to be 3rd not 3nd. Silly me.

STUPID ARTICLES!
There is an increasing abundance of useless and stupid articles on this wiki. Can we delete them already?! PLEASE?! MillieMuddFan67 20:52, April 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Like some contributors who are not logged in or don't have a Wikia account are creating some articles including the kind of rides that do not exist, and some which don't do anything with this series. --FrancineFan3883 1:36, April 27th, 2011 (UTC)

Postcards From Buster
suggest we get rid of the Postcards from Buster pages. I understand that they are part of the "Arthur Universe" so to speak, but most of the P from B pages have little or no information and Postcards From Buster has very little to do with Arthur itself. I hear Cookie Jar Entertainment may even cancel the show.Jacksonian 12:28, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

STUPID YOUTUBE
Okay, now I'm officially annoyed. WGBH was pretty dumb and has forced all the arthur videos on Youtube (like ones uploaded by wicho262, raincheckz, and iUploadArthur) to be deleted due to a "Copyright claim"

What are we going to do? Arthur on Youtube is the primary source, if not the only source, for nearly every single picture on this wiki! How are we supposed to continue this Wiki when all we have to go off of the single Arthur show that plays on PBS each day? Even then, IPTV (Iowa Public Television) broadcasts Arthur at 3:00 in the afternoon (while I'm still in school).

This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to add on to this wiki without Youtube? I am offficially sickened.

Depressedly,

Jacksonian 01:01, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Admin Rights
I have posted a request for admin rights given to users of the wiki for further improvement and removing of all spam and vandilism and those who do so. Who do you think should become admins of the wiki? Nominate up to two people and we'll see what will be the outcome. Post what you think on my user talk ;)

Hello
Welcome back.

Hey There!
Hi, I'm Annawantimes, and I'm one of the new Administrators of Arthur Wiki. It seems you've been here for a while, and made more edits than anyone. Once you get a chance to get re-accustomed to the wiki and editing, you should request for Adminship.  Annawantimes   (Talk)  02:26, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Hey there I was MC CJ now I'm my current name. We've missed you. Please come back and like Annawantimes said you should request for Admin. THE CJ IS BACK 02:56, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Is it true
Is it true that DW and Kate Read was modeled after Marc Browns kids. So what is my favorite character Fern Waters modeled after?

Orion001 19:52, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, most of the characters who come from the books are inspired by Marc Brown's relatives and friends and experiences. A book called Teaching with Favorite Marc Brown Books show the inspirations of the characters and books. D.W. was modeled after Kim Brown (Marc's sister), but Kate was modeled after Eliza Brown (Marc's daughter). FrancineFan3883, 14:02 November 18, 2011 (UTC)
