Bart Simpson

Nancy Cartwright, Bart's voice actress

Bart Simpson is a character from the American animated television series The Simpsons part of the Simpson family. Described as one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century by Time, Matt Groening created and designed Bart in James L. Brooks's office. Bart, alongside the rest of the family, debuted in the short "Good Night" on The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. After two years on the show, the family received their own series, which premiered on Fox on December 17, 1989. Born on either April Fools' Day or on February 23, Bart is ten years old; he is the eldest child and only son of Homer and Marge Simpson; he has two sisters, Lisa and Maggie. Voiced by Nancy Cartwright (pictured), Bart is known for his mischievousness, rebelliousness, and disrespect for authority, as well as his prank calls to Moe, chalkboard gags in the opening sequence, and catchphrases. Bart is considered an iconic fictional television character of the 1990s and has been called an American cultural icon. (Full article...)

Comment This may be too early to propose for TFA, as it is currently open until the first few days of March; additionally, because it ran in April 2015, this also needs discussion with TFA managers as well. Finally, the image might run into copyright issues as it is graffiti; the last time the page ran, an image of Nancy Cartwright was used instead. Xeroctic (talk) 13:06, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Xeroctic: I understand that it is to early to request for April, which is why i haven't transcluded it to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests yet. Also i don't see anything wrong with the last run being April 2015; it's been ten years since (some TFAs have had four to five years before their re-run), and there's nothing wrong with a TFA rerunning in the same month. I changed the image to Cartwright. 750h 13:38, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - I mentioned about the last run because the TFAR page states to notify the coordinators if a re-run is requested; I do not have objections to a second TFA run.
  - Regardless, I would still support this nomination, even if it is not yet to be transcluded on the main TFA requests page. Xeroctic (talk) 14:52, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - A second thing to note, but the article states that February 23rd is another date for the subject's birthday (which has been finished for TFA requests), with that date mentioned in an episode, so I am unsure how accurate it would be to state in the blurb to only mention April 1st as a birthday.
