Season 1 article

Someone made another article called Season 1 of SpongeBob Square Pants. I'm still a bit of a noob, so I'm not sure how to delete an article. Can someone else do it for me? --Alice2 (talk) 05:57, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I've made that article redirect to the existing article. Bill ^{(talk|contribs)} 10:45, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Tea at the Treedome

I rewrote the discription of "Tea at the Treedome." It is now three paragraphs long. I'm worried I might have added unnecessary details, but am not sure. Could someone determine if they think there is some tweaking that could be done? Thanks.  :) 98.202.38.225 (talk) 05:20, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I love that episode! Spongebob is so cute when dried up ( probably since I like freckles and raspy voices :P) Anyone know what those dots are when he gets dehydrated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.100.111.16 (talk) 22:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

ramdom quotes

are they needed? It looks like that they're just getting in anything that spongebob says like "so peaceful". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.44.204 (talk) 08:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Opposite Day

During a sequence when Spongebob and Patrick are doing "opposite" things in this episode, they have a sequence where the audio of their lines is backwards (I think). Does anyone know what they're saying? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.172.30 (talk) 23:53, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Episode Problems

What is wrong with you? Put them back the way they are. The listing is all wrong. Some episodes are edited out. Fix them now! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.6.99.198 (talk) 04:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Episode information

I have gone through every episode this season (and will for subsequent seasons) and noted the precise credits preceding each episode. No edits made to this page, like the reversion by Mediran, should remove credit information. DJ1AM (talk) 20:10, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

I only removed the "Storyboard" credits as it's not necessary (without changing other things) and why I changed that is because to transclude it to the main episode list to ease maintenance. Thanks. Mediran (t • c) 09:36, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

It is necessary information. It is in the opening credits of every episode. The article for the complete list of episodes can have this sparser list as a placeholder until the rest of the seasons' credits are completed. DJ1AM (talk) 01:50, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Short summaries

we should strive to keep the short summaries short, as in one or two sentences. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 18:26, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that is also my problem. I will support that. :) Mediran (t • c) 03:52, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

I think it's all OK now. Mediran (t • c) 07:46, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

looks much better, thank you! Frietjes (talk) 17:25, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:SpongeBob SquarePants (season 1)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi, I'll review this. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 03:11, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

This looks close to GA, in my opinion. I put it on hold.

• No dablinks, but this link (ref #9) is dead for me.
  • Remove link. I think the link was misused as the source republished at http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/01/19/idUS145869+19-Jan-2009+PRN20090119 and http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-193554130.html does not say anything about what is written there. Mediran (t • c) 10:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
• The lead has some citations. These can be left off, since everything here later appears in the article's body.
  • I hope I could but it is just WP:LEADCITE has something to say about this because there are some likely to challenged info or quotations that need to have immediate sources for immediate verification. Well I think that's that. Mediran (t • c) 10:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
• We knew Doug fromRocko Missing a space here
  • Done. Missed that one. Mediran (t • c) 10:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
• The plots in the season section are pretty tiny. Looking at some featured articles on TV seasons (Supernatural (season 1), South Park (season 13), Parks and Recreation (season 1)) show me most are quite bigger than this; they should probably be expanded a little.
  •  Working Mediran (t • c) 10:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
    •  Done Mediran (t • c) 07:24, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
• The first season of SpongeBob SquarePants was well received by media critics. I think we know this is the first season of SpongeBob. How about just The season was well received...
  • That's better! Mediran (t • c) 10:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
• Drymon said "'Help Wanted' had to be left off[...]" This quote doesn't really add anything; the previous sentence is based on something Drymon said too, so the reader already knows that the episode was left off.
  • Removed as suggested. Mediran (t • c) 10:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 22:01, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I hope the article will pass. BTW, I'm working now with the plots or synopses of the episodes. Mediran (t • c) 10:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Alright, promoted! Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 16:54, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Colour contrast problems

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Season 1 air date

Season 1 ended in 2000, not 2001, that’s a mistake Anonymous0697 (talk) 16:16, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

--67.163.20.117 (talk) 19:11, 24 September 2021 (UTC)No, it ended in 2001. "Hooky" and "Mermaidman and Barnacleboy II" premiered that year.

Half-wrong premiere date for Hooky

People don't actually know whether or not Febuary 23 is it's premiere date. It's just the earliest known air date for the episode. 2600:1700:FE80:47D0:3C36:902B:5472:AF29 (talk) 18:35, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Mother Goose & Grimm?

This article says that Stephen Hillenburg worked on Mother Goose & Grimm while attending animation school. Is this true? 2601:603:1101:AE80:C809:DF00:9999:D6CB (talk) 05:23, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Episode Production/Development

I was wondering if someone can make articles for the episodes in this season because I just the official pitch bible includes prototype plots and scenes of season 1 dated 1996-97 (Squeaky Boots, Bubblestand, Jellyfishing, etc.).
