Special mention should be made of the character's mentally retarded status. He was designed as a "feel good" ambassador to children with special needs and it's worthy of note in the article itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.88.228.158 ( talk) 19:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
The result of this discussion was Merge
It has been two weeks (or 2 years) since this proposal was made and no one has said any thing against it. I will begin the merge today. Only three statements in two years, I guess that is the way it is sometimes.

Would anyone object strongly to merging the characters from McDonaldland (except Ronald) back to this page?-- nixie 01:54, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I just tagged the article as needing a merge with the character pages, I got to the talk page and found out that it was proposed already two years ago. I guess I wasn't the only one to think of this, that make sense.
Reasons for merger:
I am going to contact the editors about the two posts from 2005 and see if the are still of the same mind.

==McDonaldland merger==
Hello,
In 2005 you posted to the McDonaldland talk pages about a proposed merge of the individual characters' pages into the main body of the McDonaldland article. I cannot see if this was ever done and I have recently proposed the same.
If you would like to comment on this, please check out the McDonaldland characters merge discussion.

There was also a "Professor" character. I remember him having long, white hair and a beard, wire-rim spectacles, and a lab coat. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Citation needed for the elimination of Grimace. 71.244.186.214 ( talk) 02:08, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
I removed Grimace is known for his "monotonous face" because at best it is waxing poetic and at worst is nonsensical. Monotony has a definite element of time that Grimace's eternal youth will never show! All joking aside, feel free to comment on Grimace's face, just use appropriate adjectives.

I removed "aka Niecie" for lack of any reference or memory of that name ever being used. Zooks527 ( talk) 17:54, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
How does anyone know that Grimace is supposed to be a tastebud? The only source in the article doesn't mention this, and some people think he's supposed to be a spilled milkshake or a moldy chicken nugget. I actually emailed McDonald's customer service a few years ago to have this verified, but the customer service rep replied that he is "Ronald's right hand man", "jolly fellow", but nothing specific about what he IS. I don't think he should be classified as a tastebud unless there's a source which cites this. Plath81 ( talk) 14:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Rubbish. They probably told you he was a tastebud to get you off their backs. No citation - no tastebud. "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.76.148 ( talk) 11:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
I can't agree. Cities are not the only governments to have mayors. E.g.

I grew up in a town called Puyallup and they have no mayor! They have a guy they call a "City Manager" who handles things. Degelh ( talk) 08:37, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [[Puyallup [1]]] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Degelh ( talk • contribs) 08:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
the citations missing tag has been up for almost a year. If there are no citations then this is WP:OR. and liable to be withdrawn. Lihaas ( talk) 14:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree. - Jumper4677 ( talk) 12:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
I noticed while looking through here that there's a character that isn't mentioned whom I recall seeing in a few McDonald's commercials, enough for her to be noteable at least. I can't remember her name exactly, but she was like this wooly-mammoth looking creature who would often eat things that shouldn't be eaten. Anyone know who I'm talking about? I wish I could remember, but those commercials were on so long ago that I'm surprised I even remember this character. – 168.91.255.100 ( talk) 17:43, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
