New Image[edit]

Um... could we change the image? The one on the Phineas and Ferb Wiki page of "Rollercoaster" is a much better one and it's a promotional poster. User: J.Severe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.37.168 (talk) 22:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! User: J.Severe

Can someone mention the song Major Monogram sings. I don't know the name, but it's the one that starts : My whole world is a screen... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.227.18 (talk) 11:20, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Only? or one of two? episodes without a musical number[edit]

For a while the lede of this article contained the text "It should also be noted that the original Rollercoaster is the only episode in the series to not have a musical number." It was changed today by Andrewmhhs in this edit from "only episode" to "one of two episodes". I tagged this with {{fact}} in this edit, and the sentence was then deleted (quite rightly) by Cyphoidbomb because of the possibility of WP:OR. Does anyone know if there are any other episodes without a muscial number (preferably with a reliable source to back them up)? Ollieinc (talk) 03:15, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to thank you for opening the discussion, Ollieinc, although I don't have an answer. :) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:34, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have rated this article as B-class and low importance.

low importance: as a single episode, the article is of low importance to the wikiproject.

B-class: The article has good information, well sourced, and casual readers are not left wanting. My main concern with the article is the prose, which is highly important in good article assessments. For examples:

Vincent Martella and Thomas Sangster were cast to play the titular characters, along with Ashley Tisdale to play Candace, all three of which were hired by the casting department due to age-group popularity and general belief in their ability to perform each role.

Might be better worded as: Vincent Martella, Thomas Sangster, and Ashley Tisdale, who voice Phineas, Ferb, and Candace respectively, were all hired by the casting department because of their popularity within the target age-group popularity and general belief in their ability to perform their roles.

You might go on to explain how Martella, Sangster, and Tisdale achieved age-group popularity, if it flows with the rest of the article- it isn't necessary.

Another character, Jeremy, usually voiced by Mitchel Musso, briefly appeared in the episode in a completely different voice than usual from an unknown voice extra.

Might be better worded as: Jeremy, usually voiced by Mitchel Musso, was voiced instead by an unknown extra during a brief appearance in the episode."

You might go on to say when Musso was hired to play the role.

Don't all Phineas and Ferb episodes have music? It seemed like a pretty prominent feature on the main page.

Also, the caption for PitchPF .png might need work, but I'm not familiar with the requirements for captions. I think further explanation is required to relate the caption to the image- I.E., why does the image illustrate the caption? Is the image a storyboard image?

Hope those comments help. Good luck with the GA nomination! I might come back to review it myself if these concerns are fixed or explained. Thanks, Liquidluck (talk) 19:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
