Welcome!
Hello, Kjell Knudde, and welcome to Wikisimpsons!
Thank you for taking an interest in our wiki. If you have any troubles, feel free to ask questions on any experienced editors' talk page. Also, you could look at a help page.
Here are a few pages to help out new editors such as most likely yourself:
- Help pages, your first stop if you need any help
- Editing help, in case you have questions on how to properly edit articles
- Policy pages — failure to abide by these will result in consequences.

Dates and other out-of-universe information
Hi, unless stated in the episode, could you please leave dates of release and other out-of-universe information from articles as this has not been confirmed in the show. Thanks, The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 08:21, 25 March 2012 (EDT)
Why? It's only minimal information and a bit of subtext about certain real life topics doesn't hurt anyone. Otherwise the references will only make senses to people already familiar with the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjell Knudde (talk • contribs) 09:52, 25 March 2012
- Because the information could be wrong and is not stated so in the episode. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 10:05, 25 March 2012 (EDT)
First of all: the information I add isn't wrong. It can be found in many reliable sources. If necessary I will add them.
Second of all: the world is bigger than "The Simpsons" show alone. If we are adding real life references too, we might as well give some verified, neutral and concise information about them.
Third of all: "The Simpsons" show often references stuff that not everybody will get. If you just write an article without explaining the context of the reference then this wiki doesn't add anything informative at all.
Fourth of all: Even "The Simpsons" show itself makes mistakes. It is important to point those out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjell Knudde (talk • contribs) 10:14, 25 March 2012
- Please sign your comments with ~~~~ I'm not saying the information is wrong, I'm saying it it not confirmed on the show. Sure, the world is bigger than The Simpsons, but, if you didn't realise, this is a wiki about The Simpsons, not anything else. We do have references to things. Either on that episode's reference page, a Behind the Laughter section or via our reference articles for movies and television shows. However, we have a notability policy for these and the show/movie has to have been referenced at least 5 times to gain an article. If it is undeserving of an article, it can go onto a Behind the Laughter section if there is one for an in-universe movie/show which is the same thing. Which brings me onto my next point, we write articles from an in-universe point of view. This means not mentioning episode names without the use of ref tags and not mentioning other out of universe content on the page with the exception of infoboxes, Behind the Laughter sections and Trivia sections. Please bear this all in mind when editing. I'm not trying to sound harsh or anything, but, we have policies in place. I would suggest you read through them (link on the sidebar).

Please don't
Please don't write in which episode things happiness in the text, just add. <ref>"[[EPISODENAME]]"</ref> /AleWi 09:30, 25 March 2012 (EDT)
Film references
Don't mix film references with the films seeing in Simpsons, for example look at South Park (TV show) and South Park. /AleWi 10:01, 25 March 2012 (EDT)
I don't see the difference between those two articles? As far as I'm concerned they could be put into one article instead of two confusing ones. I also don't see what this has to do with my articles? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjell Knudde (talk • contribs) 10:07, 25 March 2012
- Firstly, they're not "your" articles. Secondly, please sign your comments with ~~~~ and thirdly, we have one article for in-universe content (the show/movie in The Simpsons) and one for real world content (the references to the show/movie).
