It says that Maggie has been 1 year old for the past 17 years. Does this really matter? In case it does, it should be added to all of the simpsons characters. just my 2 cents... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.141.1.70 ( talk) 21:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Did Maggie not say "Santa" in the episode where Mr.Burns is anxious to "kill off" Abe Simpson and earn himself the paintings?
What does this line mean ? "She has spoken only one word in the normal continuity of the series, "Daddy" (voiced by Elizabeth Taylor), and no one heard it, as Homer was somewhat fuming over how Lisa's First Word wasn't "Daddy", but rather "Homer"."
Jay 11:01, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
This is factually incorrect. Here's a transcript from that episode (Lisa's First Word), taken from SNPP
Homer: The sooner kids talk, the sooner they talk back. [tucks Maggie in] I hope you never say a word. [shuts the door] Maggie: [taking her pacifier out] Daddy.
Nobody hears Maggie's first word because nobody is in the room - not because Homer is "fuming". Nick04 11:13, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
To add to the above - Maggie is generally acknowledged by the fans to have spoken twice in the normal continuity of the series. Here's the second time she speaks (from 3F01: Home Sweet Home Diddily Dum Doodily)
Maude: Oh, relax, Bart. Your sister Maggie isn't scared. Bart: That's because she can't talk. Maggie: [pulls her pacifier out] Daddily doodily!
Because this doesn't take place during a fantasy sequence, it's accepted this is her second word. I'll correct the article, and add her second word.
Nick04 11:15, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Additional - while reading through this I notice a lot is factually incorrect (it is disputed whether her pacifier is voiced by Matt Groening, in any event, it's played by a sampler).
The only interesting thing she ever did was shoot Mr.Burns. Besides that, all she ever does is suck. (literaly)
In German, the youngest member of a household is called the "Nesthäkchen" of the family. So in the Simpsons family, Maggie is their "Nesthäkchen". Does anyone know of an English translation -- no, of an English _counterpart_ of the word "Nesthäkchen" ? What do you normally call the youngest member of a family like Maggie Simpson ? Hans Rosenthal (hans.rosenthal AT t-online.de -- replace AT by @ ) PS: I am not looking for a translation like "baby of the family", but for someting like "Oops" or "Oopsie" -- only better than this one.
It was mentioned by Matt Groening in an issue of Simpsons Comics that the Simpson family's middle names all begin with J. Should this be added or not, considering it is never mentioned in an episode?
Should the fact that Homer forgets Maggie's actual first name be mentioned? Invisible pyromanic leprechaun 17:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
It should be mentioned that he forgets about Maggie completely. -- Jnelson09 04:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
The article asserts:
under "Early life", with a citation which takes you to the synopsis on the Simpsons.com site, which doesn't include this information (thus, an invalid reference, like most references in Simpsons articles on here). In the show the sign is changed to read "Do it for her" not "Don't forget her" as stated. I just found Wikipedia today and have been reading thru some of the Simpsons articles. I'm taken aback by all the assumptions and innacuracies in these articles - they read like a fourteen year old's recollection of the episodes three months later, not like an accurate resource for Simpsons fans. There is also a shocking amount of speculation and plainly "wrong" data in all these articles. The whole "Simpsons" family of articles needs some serious attention and work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.157.107.144 ( talk) 04:30, 20 December 2006 (UTC).
Whats the episode where Maggie has eaten an issue of TIME MAGAZINE, and Marge and Magge are at the doxtors, and the rest of the simpsons clan are at the supermarket? AC Best Autograph Book 16:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
"Maggie has spoken in at least two of the original shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show. In Good Night, the last line is Maggie saying "good night". In Making Faces, she laughs and mimics Lisa's "check this out" after seeing Lisa's face at the beginning. In that same short, she appears to say "alright" alongside Bart and Lisa, and screams "We're doomed" at the end with Bart and Lisa. In these instances, her speech isn't entirely clear. She also mumbles something in the short House of Cards, but it's unintelligible."
There's no real reason for it to go. I'll elaborate. In the first short, she clearly says "good night" because there's no one else that matches her voice and she is the last to sleep. Her other instances (or, at least, attempts) of speech for the rest of these shorts match that voice, so it's undeniably supposed to be Maggie saying that last line. There's no way that it's someone else talking if that same baby-ish voice is the one saying "good night". She also very much tries to mimic Lisa in Making Faces when she tries to say "check this out". The words may not be as clear, but it's obvious she's trying to copy her big sister with the same tone, so it comes out as more like "cheh he hout". Later in that short, her mouth moves along with Bart and Lisa when they exclaim "alright" and "we're doomed", so she at least is in the same mindset (it's hard to tell if Maggie truly said that, though, since her voice is hard to hear over Bart and Lisa's). Finally, in House of Cards, it's almost impossible to say for sure what Maggie is trying to say, but it's still the same consistent voice from previous shorts. At the very least, there's no real debate in whether or not Maggie spoke in Good Night, and it's obvious that Maggie was trying to copy Lisa's words in Making Faces (even if it didn't quite come out perfect). 208.101.173.66 00:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I cleaned up the section, and limited it to times that she definitely spoke, so I left the bit about Good Night, but took out the part about Making Faces, because Wikipedia is not about noting EVERY SINGLE time she's possibly spoken. I added a fact tag on the original Maggie voice thing, because that needs a reliable source, not a fan site. -- Scorpion 0422 16:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
The voice section in question is meant for "real world" information about the character - her design, who shes based on, voice actors, etc. Saying "In The Simpsons Movie, Maggie says Sequel" has NO real world context whatsoever, does not belong in the section and really does not belong in the article. Maybe it's a major line, but it has no importance to the character at all. -- Scorpion 0422 23:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
In the Simpsons Movie, during the credits Maggie says "Sequal?" (Wondering if there was going to be a sequal to the movie or not.) and those are the first words her FAMILY has ever heard, other than the baby gibberish she speaks. In another episode, I forget which one, sorry, but in another episode, she sayd "daddy" (Or dada, i think. Not sure.) I hope someone clears this up. Stickmeister ( talk) 21:25, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I thought that in one of the Tree House Of Horror episodes, Maggie is discovered to be Kang's daughter, or is the fact that because it's a THOH, it is not thought to be important? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitual aelita ( talk • contribs) 11:52, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
This article says that Maggie was born in 1900. Is that supposed to be 1990? There's no citation, or I'd check it myself. -- 199.218.252.113 21:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I will be reviewing this article for GA. It looks like a very good article. I will list the problems I see below.— Mattisse ( Talk) 22:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Some minor prose issues:
*"She got her first name from Groening's youngest sister." - It would be better to use another word than "got", like She received her first name, or She was named after Groening's youngest sister - or whatever the case is.
*"After appearing on The Tracey Ullman Show for three years, the Simpson family got their own series on the Fox Broadcasting Company which debuted December 17, 1989." - another "got" - how about "received" or even "were given"?
*"Maggie is the least seen and heard of in the Simpsons family." - is the least seen and heard in the Simpson family.
*If she is not heard, why is she voiced? You explain in the article that she says some words, but you need to explain in the lead why actors are providing her voice.
*"The Simpsons has a floating timeline in which the characters do not age, and the show is set in the current year, but certain dates have been given although sometimes these dates are contradicted" - ...the show is set in the current year and although certain dates have been given, they are sometimes contradicted?
*"Shortly afterwards, Marge became pregnant with Maggie and not being able to support his family, Homer reapplied for a job..." - Soon Marge became pregnant with Maggie and, unable to support his family, Homer reapplied for a job...?
*"Maggie has performed a number of feats that may lead one to the conclusion that she is a baby genius. - don't use "one" per MoS, if possible - just Maggie has performed a number of feats that suggest she is a baby genius? - or some other wording.
*"equivalent of a hallmark or calling card would be to trip over her clothing and fall..." hallmark or calling card was to trip - FAC editors do not like "would".
*"flow of action around her" and then "easily influenced by what she sees around her" - vary the wording in sentences so close together.
*"Maggie has appeared in a lot of other media relating to The Simpsons. She has appeared in every one..." - vary the wording rather than repeating "had appeared" - also, "a lot of" is not encyclopedic. You could just say "Maggie has appeared in other media relating to ..."
*References - I don't understand some of the references. Some seem to reference other Wikipedia articles, for example references #3 and #4. Wikipedia cannot serve as a source for another Wikipedia article. The source must meet
WP:RS which Wikipedia does not.
That's it for now. I will put the article on hold for you to address these problems. If I see anything else, I will add it. I like the article very much. — Mattisse ( Talk) 22:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
P.S. You seem to be using a mixed reference style. According to MoS, the whatever style of referencing you choose, you should use it consistently. Choose one style and use it for all references. —

:*"Maggie's equivalent of a hallmark or calling card" - not sure what you mean here, literally a calling card?
:*"...a baby character that did not talk and never grew up, but was assigned any emotions that the scene required" - is there a better word than "assigned" - was scripted to show emotions, or some other wording?

I don't see any mention of Maggie Simpson crying in the show. I remember that one episode with Homer's "Mood Swings" (" Crook and Ladder" from early 2007, when I started watching Simpsons regularly) had an instance where Marge removed Maggie's pacifier, so it should be inevitable. --- Andrewlp1991 ( talk) 06:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

P.S. You seem to be using a mixed reference style. According to MoS, the whatever style of referencing you choose, you should use it consistently. Choose one style and use it for all references. —

:*"Maggie's equivalent of a hallmark or calling card" - not sure what you mean here, literally a calling card?
:*"...a baby character that did not talk and never grew up, but was assigned any emotions that the scene required" - is there a better word than "assigned" - was scripted to show emotions, or some other wording?

Congratulations. A very well-written and well-presented GA article! — Mattisse ( Talk) 18:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't see any mention of Maggie Simpson crying in the show. I remember that one episode with Homer's "Mood Swings" (" Crook and Ladder" from early 2007, when I started watching Simpsons regularly) had an instance where Marge removed Maggie's pacifier, so it should be inevitable. --- Andrewlp1991 ( talk) 06:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
maggie has a brother,hugo.And,most likely two half-cousins,because she has two half-uncles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.9.248.89 ( talk) 01:46, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
What exactly was wrong with the inclusion of Maggie "supposedly" shooting Mr. Burns when it is clearly alluded and confirmed in the commentary that it was not accidental. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki Mateo ( talk • contribs) 02:55, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
I had added something to Homer's profile talking about the lizardlike tongue he is seen using in a few episodes and the movie, and it was called a one-off gag and deleted. Yet how come it talks aobut maggie being a marksman because she shot mobsters in one episode that was obviously a one-off joke as well? 76.192.144.49 ( talk) 17:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
WHy is this "article" tainted by about.com? might aswell reference wikiedia lmao! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.85.90.34 ( talk) 19:03, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Unless I am blind (a possibility!) I cannot find any reference to who voiced Maggie in the movie either on this page or on the page for the movie itself. I'm talking about the word 'sequel?' during the credits, naturally. Excise ( talk) 16:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Do those words spoke. At the end of the last episode in season 20 count? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.209.148.49 ( talk) 15:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Maybe someone with a registered name could put #REDIRECT [[Maggie Simpson]] in Maggy Simpson. That article is not currently in use and some people - like me - end up there expecting an article about the Simpsons family member. -- 82.171.70.54 ( talk) 20:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

It turns out there's nothing on that Parental Guide page. And there don't seem to be any on Simpson Archive. Anything that references it?-- Trisha Gaurav ( talk) 08:51, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
Ohhh, you're saying that I need to source the claim that she hides her intelligence on PURPOSE instead of everyone just underestimating her and not letting her show her intelligence. Okay, I'll try to find a source.-- Trisha Gaurav ( talk) 10:43, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

When was it ever established in the series that Maggie's middle name is Evelyn? and are there references to that effect? Otherwise I think it should be removed from the article until proper collaboration has been made. YborCityJohn ( talk) 23:09, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
