Does every character and term need its own article?

After cleaning up Cybersite I wondered if there could be much more to it, so I've added a merge tag linking to here, Is it really needed as a separate article? It seems that many of the characters, terms and places for this series could be merged with this article or kept in articles like "places in cyberchase" and "characters in cyberchase". I'm not familiar with this series so I'll leave it with people who are to discuss whether it is popular enough and big enough in scope to warrant a separate page for each of its terms or characters. --FlooK 16:50, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Now with four seasons of episodes, several of the Cybersites have become recurring backdrops with their own characters and backstories. For example: Radopolis, the extreme sports site has been featured in several episodes as well as in Cyberchase: The Quest, an immersive Web game at the official Web site. Slider, a James Dean type teen cyborg is one of the residents of the site and is a very popular recurring character. His father is a cyborg named Coop, who is voiced by skateboard legend Tony Hawk. Radopolis is ruled by King Dudicus. --Digit LeBoid, August 2, 2005

I believe that having separate pages for cybersites that are recurring in the show should be put in place. All we need are legitmate facts and copywrited pictures for these cybersites and we'll be set. --SnakeChess5 10:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Creators?

I tried to correct the "Creators" line in the info box by adding Sandra Sheppard and Kristin Laskas Martin, the executive producers who created the show for Thirteen/WNET NY, but instead it repalced their names and Larry Jacobs with "{{{creator}}}" -- what's up with that, and how do we fix it?

Thanks for fixing this. EGregory 15:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cybersite

Let Cybersite stay, we can use a guide to it. -- Rtkat3 10:12, 4 October, 2006 (UTC)

Kareem Blackwell

How is he a star (For Real?) in Cyberchase? He only appeared in one episode (pilot episode, The Poddleville Case). He would be considered a minor character (like the firefighter who tested Harry because Harry wanted to become a firefighter) because like the firefighter, he only appeared in one episode. So I think we should remove Kareem from the cast list. Squirepants101 20:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kareem was the host of Cyberchase: For Real in the pilot episode -- hardly a minor role. I think hosting the segment is a bigger role than being a supporting character, like the firefighter you mentioned. Digit LeBoid 16:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Goofs

Why don't the goofs belong? A lot of other Articles about TV Shows, such as Spongebob, have a goofs section. Why shouldn't this article? AstroHurricane001 20:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

Hi. I have tagged this article for cleanup because several anons are editing the article, some of which use the edit summary "(new)". I do not actually object to this, but occasionally unverified claims or POV is added. This is hard to fix because it occurs frequently. There are also numerous spellng, grammatical, or space errors. I request that someone fix and cleanup this when I am too busy. Thanks. AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 02:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I whole-heartedly agree AstroHurricane001. I have made a few glitches in my edits from time to time, as anyone would, but I have noticed new edits to this page with, as you said, spelling, grammatical or space errors. I had to reciently delete an entire sentence because the editor who formed it made it too incoherent. I am with you all the way in dealing with these constant mistakes which I believe are at least in part because of laziness, lack of knowledge in the spelling, grammar and spacing departments, or perhaps they are not very good at typing. Whatever the case may be, they should work on developing a solution to their problem before they continue with editing anything on Wikipedia, let alone this particular article. I will continue to fight the good fight and take care of what I can, but these people need to learn to, at the very least, proof-read their edits before they go any further. --SnakeChess5 02:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cybersite Lists

Don't you think that the table of contents is getting a big large with 44 cybersite entries? They only have small descriptions anyway, so why don't you just un-bold them and make them paragraphs under the Cybersite category? So they won't show up in the toc.--Jothesmo 07:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By having them bolded, it allows for people to access info on particular cybersites from other links instead of having to scroll back and forth continuously. I don't know about you but I'm sure that I'd find that quite annoying after a while. Besides, there are probably plenty of pages with large table of contents anyway, and if the information is small on the cybersites, simply add more. I don't see any picture of the cybersites, why don't we get some pictures going. SnakeChess5 01:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where you're coming from, but this is not such a popular article, and some of the cybersite information is not really necessary. Why don't you make a new page "list of cybersites" and move all the cybersite info over there? --Jothesmo 23:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be moved to a separate page, with a small paragraph and link to the new page. SmileToday 19:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the list of cybersites to List of cybersites. Squids'and'Chips 17:06, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template Ideas

I'm thinking that we need a template for Cyberchase. Maybe somebody can help. ----71.247.23.19

Lower Case Second "C"

The second "c" in "Cyberchase" should be lower case. If fixed all the instances I could find on this page, and a few others. But I can't fix the top of the pages where it says "Redirects From..." To verify the correct usage, you can check the official Web site at http://pbskidsgo.org/cyberchase Digit LeBoid 18:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Whoops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just cleaning up. 70.107.129.94 21:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Continuity Section???

First off, this is NOT a hate comment. I love this show!!! Unfortunately, there ARE some continuity problems, and was wondering if there could be a section on it. For example, during the episode in which Slider finds his father (don't know the name) Coop shows his weakness to magnetite is advanced aging, while in another episode in which Radopolis is doused in magnetite, Coop and the other Radopolians all fall asleep. Plus, they all have the same reaction, while in the former episode Coop states that everyone reacts differently. Agree??

Thanks!!! 71.253.252.88 03:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Umm... I have not seen any action on this issue and I lack the expertise to do it myself. Could someone please put this in the article? :) 70.104.161.253 (talk) 23:10, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Animation style

My little brother watches this show regularly and I noticed as he was watching it today that the newer episodes have a significantly different animation style than the older ones, reminiscent of Macromedia Flash cartoons. I checked this page to see if there was verification on this, but no go- are the newer episodes done in Flash? ZaininOmega (talk) 21:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recurring "For real" character

The character "Mr. Sleaze" (or something like that) appears in a large amount of the "Cyberchase for real" things that are removed to be replaced with commercials. Credits? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.221.109 (talk) 00:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Marbles

Ada is obviously based on Ada Lovelace. Is Dr. Marbles based on Osborne Reynolds? Reynolds is painted holding a shallow bowl filled with marbles, which he used to demonstrate his theories about the "granular substrate of the universe."

Museum tour

This section claims "it was on view from September 28, 1996, through May 13, 2000. The exhibition is currently touring children's museums and science museums across the UK." Is that very likely, since the program did not debut until January 2002? Also, it is touring American children's museums - in February 2010, it began a four-month stay at Atlanta's Imagine It!... oh no original research
