What should it look it:
- Episode name
Or
- "Episode name"
I've seen both here. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 11:15, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
I don't know. Personally I use the plain one. I was confused what to do. But now I'm pretty sure that you're supposed to put it in quotes.... LukePhiladelphiaTalk 14:21, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

- Arthur's Eyes No
- "Arthur's Eyes" No
- "Arthur's Eyes" Yes
- Personally I despise the idea of adding actual episode names to in-universe articles. Annawantimes (Talk) 17:29, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- I've never liked using italics or quotes when it came to episodes. It just feels a little strange. IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S MC CJ | Talk . 18:18, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Adding something to episodes help them stand out which is important.
- @Annawantimes: What do mean? Ep info needs to be cited/referenced otherwise it can be challenged & removed. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 03:02, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Yes — 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 <ref> tag. This sources the information, while keeping articles in-universe. Annawantimes (Talk) 03:36, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
- 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.
