Could someone update it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.18.188 ( talk) 03:16, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Instead of automatically redirecting to the Bloons TD page I think there should be a page about the Bloons brand, such as the actual game Bloons and not the spinoff Bloons Tower Defense. Jasonxu98 ( talk) 22:25, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
We need to make this page about all of them Bloons, bloons td and spinoffs and change the name to Bloons and redirect Bloons TD to here I'll work on that in my sandbox and switch them if you want me to Black60dragon ( talk) 23:47, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
I was going to suggest this, but it looks like someone beat me to it. I agree that Bloons should get an article, especially if Bloons TD gets an article. Alphius 22:14, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
I think Bloons should get its own article, but Bloons TD should not redirect there because it is already a longish article. Sfoske70 ( talk) 14:49, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
So we make a bloons page on its own and how about I go ahead and make a subpage and give you guys the link and everyone could work on it so it gets down fast and right.
Guess I beat you guys to it.FlashingYoshi! 18:13, 20 June 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by FlashingYoshi ( talk • contribs)
I took a screenshot of Bloons TD, but I am not sure if it goes against copyright to post it. Sfoske70 ( talk) 01:02, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
I just contacted Ninjakiwi about this - asking for permission to use their logos and screenshots. Maybe we'll get a favorable response! Walkop ( talk) 01:54, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
What the Heck, It is called a Banana Farm, how come everytime I look in this page I see that Banana Farm has been messed with! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.194.242.197 ( talk) 12:35, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
I looked now and it says banana farm now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecstatic girl ( talk • contribs) 01:38, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Added a little bit on the actual gameplay and money earning processes - including the Banana Farm. It should be correct. Walkop ( talk) 01:59, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
The article seems a bit low on actual information about the game and the specific variations on each edition. Anyone willing to help out? I've done a bit, added a table for version availability etc. but even that is low on factual, direct information; and isn't really relevant to gameplay. Walkop ( talk) 02:03, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Is it mostly conjecture?! Look at this: http://ninjakiwi.com/blog/what-more-btd4/ FlashingYoshi! 17:37, 29 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by FlashingYoshi ( talk • contribs)

Does M.O.A.B. stand for: Massive Ornary Air Blimp or Mother Of All Bloons?
Could someone provide a citation for this? Ultimately, is it even of noteworthy mention?

I asked SuperHamster for his advice/opinion on the article in its current state. It was really useful to me, so I'm sharing it here:
To-do list:
Bananasoldier ( talk) 07:22, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Some gameplay images are definitely needed and won't be hard to include, but I'm considering removing the logo pictures as I don't think they serve any purpose. Thoughts? Samwalton9 ( talk) 20:01, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
I'd also like to get an infobox logo, but not sure which logo to use. The first game's logo isn't the prettiest of things, but I think it might be the best to use since it just says Bloons Tower Defense. Thoughts? Samwalton9 ( talk) 12:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Should we be capitalizing "bloon"? Would it be considered a proper noun or no? Thanks, Bananasoldier ( talk) 02:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
"Bloons follow the map's set path on the track until they either reach the exit(s) or are popped." -Gameplay, paragraph 2
Would you consider this sentence already stated in the first paragraph or do you think it's okay? Bananasoldier ( talk) 01:50, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Also, paragraph 2 of gameplay: Maybe we should reword the statement about the bloons being layered inside one another in a Russian Doll style. I've found no sources that actually call it "Russian Doll," and it was merely my observation, therefore original research. Bananasoldier ( talk) 02:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
I can't find the release date of the original Bloons TD Battles. Is it absolutely necessary that we add it? Bananasoldier ( talk) 04:01, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
While poking around, I did find this: [4], which basically consists of all the old Ninja Kiwi blog posts. Unfortunately, no BTD Battles there. Bananasoldier ( talk) 07:15, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Actually, from this [5], we at least know it was released in 2012. Bananasoldier ( talk) 07:21, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Comments:This article could potentially meet several points of the quick fail criteria, but I will hold it for a week just in case. The main issue is the lack of development which is completely non-existent as this point and the other article does contain the basic beginnings of the a proper development section. This article also has issues meeting the broad and focused aspects of the GA assessment. This article is a smaller portion of the Bloons line of games, but the section on TD2 is shorter than a stub should be. Its content is a single sentence. The prose is also a problem, with many of the sentences being choppy. This article is like a start or C class as it stands right now and I think it will be very hard to fix this in the time. Though I did make you wait quite awhile for the review, so I can give it two weeks to be fair. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 18:36, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Something else that needs to be mentioned is that there's no Development section. You at least want to have a BS Development section if you can't find interviews or primary sources, as is the case in Digimon Racing, for example. Tezero ( talk) 06:22, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
I saw this at GAN, but where's the development section? czar ♔ 03:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
I think we need more things about bloons monkey city, as it is an important game to the bloons series.
