:::Yes &mdash; information should be cited, but not in the way it currently is. Adding, "Lydia was first seen in the episode, The Wheel Deal" is completely out of universe, and that is a personal pet peeve of mine. The proper thing to do would be adding this: "Lydia met Brain when he injured his ankle and was handicapped to a wheelchair." After this excerpt, a citation could be placed, using the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag. This sources the information, while keeping articles in-universe.

::::I completely agree and hope this is continued. What I don't like is when voice actors are added to a character's intro because 1. It makes it out of universe as well and 2. It already says it in the infobox 3. From their perspective they play themselves - you know, Arthur plays Arthur, Brain plays Brain and so on, and 4. If it has to be mentioned outside the infobox then it should be somewhere more appropriate like a "Notes" section or something.
