In the
Episodes section of this article is a list that is copied from the
List main article using the {{:}} template. While the Season links in the
List main article functions correctly (Pilot, 1, 2, 3, etc), the list that appears here in the
Episodes section of this article doesn't function. This is a technical issue that is beyond my expertise, and I wish to bring it to the attention of someone whom knows how to correct this issue.

Agree I agree with your opinion,
BrightRoundCircle (

There is previous consensus that the original run of the series is the Nickelodeon run which ended in 1995 with "A Scooter for Yaksmas". The first MTV run is regarded as a separate run. Before changing the dates, please discuss and reach consensus on the talk page. BrightRoundCircle ( talk) 12:35, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Since there is no Wikipedia policy, guideline, or even a project page that defines what's an "original run" please defer to the existing consensus or create a new one through discussion. Bright☀ 17:52, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Somebody put stuff in the See Also part of this article that should be on the article for the show's spinoff. Note I am not an admin.-- 2602:304:5DDA:ED9:E527:718E:EECB:27E ( talk) 14:25, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
The "issues" section is a huge chart that's half-empty and appears WP:INDISCRIMINATE. It should be presented with context or removed; perhaps if the comics are notable they could be put in their own article. BrightRoundCircle ( talk) 14:57, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
"Ren & Stimpy, which in 1991-92 became the most popular US cable TV show ever" - Ben Thompson (March 20, 1994), "Farewell Bambi, hello Butt-head", The Independent.

I've noticed that there might be some issues with past tense and future tense. Here's the current wording to the section so far:
“ | Deadline Hollywood reported in early 2016 that Ren and Stimpy is scheduled to appear in an upcoming Nicktoons film. Later that year, Variety reported that Nickelodeon is in negotiations with Kricfalusi about a revival of the characters. In an April 2016 panel discussion, Bob Camp and Bill Wray announced that Kricfalusi is developing a Ren & Stimpy short that would screen along with the third SpongeBob SquarePants film. Camp and Wray stated that they were "not invited to that party" and wouldn't be working on it. However, Kricfalusi denied on Twitter that he's making such a cartoon. On March 20, 2017, Camp later confirmed that Paramount Pictures rejected a pitch for a Ren & Stimpy feature film and that it will not be rebooting the characters, primarily because of the negative reception of Adult Party Cartoon. | ” |
Since it already happened, I'm thinking that it would be reworded to something like this.

I think it will solve some problems here, but we may need some input on what to do here. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 16:20, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
The article was
reverted to the 09:53, 2018 March 31 version, reverting several edits with the edit summary "Just because it's in a reliable source doesn't mean taking someone else's word as fact when it's contradicted by other sources.
" This edit is invalid for the following reasons:
TheRealBoognish, points (2) and (3) should be obvious and the edits should not be reverted. Point (1) you're going to have to begrudgingly accept. Even if you don't trust Bob Camp, he is not making an outlandish statement here. He is an animator, he was involved in the creation and production of Ren & Stimpy, there's nothing unreasonable about what he says—that he pitched a Ren & Stimpy movie to Paramount and they rejected it because of Adult Party Cartoon. There's no reason to believe that Trent Parsley or ScreenGeek reported his words inaccurately. If you have a different reason to remove the material, please specify it.

@
Sjones23: I suspect Idrinkapplejuicies456 was trying to fixed their mistake, but they improperly implemented their fix in the template, since the template does not have an "animation production" or "animation services" variable. I believe they mistakenly assumed "company" refers to all companies working on the show, not just the production companies. At any rate, the template documentation states: Note: sub-contractors hired to perform production work, e.g. animation houses, special effects studios, post-production facilities etc. should not be included here, as this may create confusion about the nation(s) of origin. Instead, use sourced prose in the article's Production section to explain these details.

After those two women came forward against the original creator, I wonder if Nickelodeon has banned reruns of the show indefinitely? 2600:6C50:7006:400:1541:C156:4D34:A295 ( talk) 18:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
It doesn't seem like any of the Ren & Stimpy video game articles really stand up on their own; the most I can find for any of them as far as third-party sources go is one or two reviews each, and it's doubtful there's any substantial development info around. The overhaul I'd just given the video game section on the main article sums up each entry about as thoroughly as they need to be within the bigger article's context, so I'd think redirecting the video game titles to that section would be in order. Cat's Tuxedo ( talk) 02:10, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
People are trying to distance Ren & Stimpy from John K, and one way is to cite Bob Camp as a co-creator. There's one reference that names all Spumco co-founders as creators, so I guess we'll go with that, despite all other references attributing the creation to John K alone.

Did quite a bit of digging for the flagged missing citations in this article. The citations deal with old distribution deals (VHS) or details of cut scenes or episodes from later releases. There is significant discussion of the missing content in forums, blogs and like, so the data appears to be accurate, but I could locate no official sources that would be acceptable for wiki citation.

The source for the information that DPH was played by RHH now states "Note: The original list incorrectly referred to Reverend Horton Heat as the creator of the Ren & Stimpy theme song. That entry has been removed from the list, and Consequence regrets the error." They now list only 21 songs instead of 22. I restored the old entry, but i don't know about "Die Screaming Leiderhôsens" either.-- Rupert Pupkin ( talk) 19:42, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
