The earliest time that I can find of Fred Garbo playing Barkley is Episode 2015, which aired in 85. The earliest time that I can find Eric playing Bert and Grover are both from 1999, episode 3807 and 3824. The latest time that I can find Jerry playing the Two-Headed Monster is 3811, which aired in 99. Should the text in all those different characters' articles be changed to reflect that? -- Anthony (talk) 10:05, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- Anthony, you need to be sure to specify such instances in your edit summaries. Otherwise just changing the dates doesn't indicate anything to anyone, and doing so on multiple pages at once is confusing. On Character recasts, it probably wouldn't hurt to specify that the character wasn't used for the missing gap. There's also the mild complication that's come up before, of recording date versus air date (Episode 2015 was taped in November 1984) but I think we settled that. in the case of the Fred Garbo page, there's the fact that he was getting screen credit from the start of the season, so that's an apparent contradiction unless you explain why. It's just communication and showing sources like with anything else on Muppet Wiki. -- Andrew
