Untitled

I think this article needs to be split into two sepreate articles, one containing the actual film, the other having details about the videogame. Superjustinbros. 20:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio

This will be the second time this article has been deleted because of a copyvio. Can't somebody take the time to write an article from scratch, not just copy material from THQ's website? NF24^{(radio me!}_{Editor review)} 23:25, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

blue guy

I only saw the preview, but what i saw was a blue guard thing. my first impression was that it looked like a blue meanie from the movie yellow submarine. is that just me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragon queen4ever (talk • contribs) 00:03, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that too. Weird. EuroJordan (talk) 16:21, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

oh, ok, so Im not crazy....should that ve mentioned or is it considered original research?Dragon queen4ever (talk) 21:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most likely it would original research or possibly NPOV because it could be considered your opinion. NF24^{(radio me!)} 22:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SpongeBob Squarepants has obvious satirical, surrealist, dadaist, and other post-modern themes of art and philosopy. Look up the wikipedia entries on those subjects as well as the blue meanie. Saying that the Atlantians are based on the Blue Meanies is rather like saying water is wet. Not so much opinion as fact. Hell, it was David Bowie's voice acting. They beat us about the head with actual surrealist/dadaist artworks during one song. These themes are not exactly subtle.

Although this all may be true, i still thought the movie was... how do you say... AWESOME!!! i also think that you all are giving me a head ache with all of this philosophy talk. Vince —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.154.208.35 (talk) 15:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Lord Royal Highness?"

What happened to King Neptune and Mindy? --Alice2 (talk) 05:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it takes place before the film.

That's just the guys name, hes the King of Atlantis, which before this movie was unound, so Neptune is still King of the sea, but he dosnt know about AtlantisOnepiece226 (talk) 16:42, 6 October 2008 (UTC)Onepiece226[reply]

Question about Lord Royal Highness. In the episode, he introduces himself as Lord Royal Highness, and then says to call him "LRH." Could this be a nod to Scientology founder/quack/goofball L. Ron Hubbard? Scientology nuts call him LRH and tend to pronounce it "Ellareiche". - notTomCruse — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.54.129.25 (talk) 22:10, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Sb.jpg

Image:Sb.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: EditorE (talk · contribs) 00:31, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to take on this article.

Infobox

Looks good.
- Thanks!

Lead

We don't need to mention the fact that the film was directed by Andrew Overtoom TWO TIMES. Also, you need you mention about him previously serving as an animation director on the series ALSO somewhere other than the lead (at least in the Production section).
- Done

The lead states that the film was co-written by Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli, while in other parts said it was WRITTEN (not CO-written) by those people.
- Done
"Were co-written by Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli" should be "WAS WRITTEN by Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli".
- Done
The third paragraph is not really good on it's own. In fact, I would put the sentence in that paragraph to the second paragraph in that lead.
- Done

Plot

Because this is a plot section of a film article, this should be ALL written in a present-tense. There's a few sentences in the section ("SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) found a piece of a medallion to the lost city of Atlantis", "They took a picture of it, which causes the bubble to pop.", "He then shows them the real oldest living bubble, but Patrick took a shot of it, and it popped.") appears to be written in a past-tense.
- Done

Cast

Looks fine to me.
- Thanks!

Production

The release info here should be put in a separate section.
- Done
Also, I don't think we need go into detail about the season 5 DVD.
- Done

Reception

Ratings

Looks good.
- Thanks!

Critical response.

"Despite the hype surrounded by Atlantis SquarePantis and high ratings, it received mixed to positive reviews from critics." This appears that the ratings of the show were very successful, but it wasn't as good with the critical reviews, which were good. That's like saying a movie is very good, despite that it has great action and funny scenes in it.
- Done
The GeeksOfDoom.com review appears to be a self-published blog, a source not good enough for Wikipedia.
- Done

Video game

Looks fine.
- Done

References

As mention before, The Geeks of Doom review is not a good enough source,
- Done
Date on Chicago Tribune review is not consistent.
- Done

External links

TV.com link appears to be dead.
- Fixed

Hopefully, these issues will be fixed so I can pass this GA nominee. EditorE (talk) 00:31, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks EditorE for taking this review. How about now? I sure hope the article is good enough. Thanks! :) Mediran (t • c) 02:10, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did find this sentence in the Production section, "Atlantis SquarePantis was written by longtime SpongeBob writers, Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli. Directed by Andrew Overtoom, the film is the first made-for-television film of the series.", that would be better changed to "Atlantis SquarePantis, written by longtime SpongeBob writers, Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli, and directed by Andrew Overtoom, is the first made-for-television film of the Spongebob Sqaurepants series." Overall, this looks like a GA pass to me. EditorE (talk) 20:24, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
