Featured.png Lord Nibbler appeared on the Infosphere's Main Page as the featured article for August, 2007. This article (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best produced by the Infosphere community. If you can update or improve it, please do.

First appearance?

Someone changed the first appearance from LLLiS to SP3k. I know his shadow is in that, but does it really count? Which is his first appearance?

I don't think the shadow counts so I'm voting for LLLiS Humerbot 0.4 13:47, 9 January 2007 (PST)
I don't know, probably should be the actual appearence that counts, not the foreshadowing. - Quolnok 03:51, 10 January 2007 (PST)
As far as i remember Nibbler's shadow can NOT be seen in SP3K. It was added in a later episode, but I don't remember which was the first episode to review Fry's falling into the tube. Look at it again. I'm pretty damn sure about this!

Escaping the universe.

Has he been eliminated from the show by doing this? DXC told us on the BWaBB commentary that Bender's Game will teach us more about Dark Matter, but I really don't see this involving Nibbler. Of course it can't be confirmed until he's mentioned, but isn't his absence worth talking about in the article?-- the preceding unsigned comment was written by Mini-Me before 12:00, 27 June 2008 (BST).

Yeah, there isn't much there about it. I just added a little. If Bender's Game is, to an extent, about Dark Matter, there's certainly a chance of Nibblonian involvement. All we know is that he's not in the universe any more, and BG seems to be outside the normal universe. - Quolnok 12:00, 27 June 2008 (BST)
Hm, good point. I know IMDb isn't too reliable when it comes to credited cast members before the release, but Frank Welker (who was not in BWaBB at all) is listed for Bender's Game and Into the Wild Green Yonder playing Nibbler and other [animal] voices. -Mini-Me 12:36, 27 June 2008 (BST)
I don't think the writers have ditched Nibbler for good. I think they have something up their sleeves. It just seemed fitting that he wasn't in BWaBB (and neither were his species, despite we getting to see a lot of alien species). --SvipTalk 13:31, 27 June 2008 (BST)

Server problems?

i was trying to add his appearances in 'bender's game' and 'into the wild green yonder' and i came up with this.

from here:[1] Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/theinfosphere.org/website/includes/StringUtils.php on line 276

what's happening?-- the preceding unsigned comment was written by Scruffy.

I am not sure, but generally, if such an issue happens, I'd suggest try again. The server may be busy elsewhere. If it persists, then you should alert us. I tried myself, while it was a bit slow, it eventually succeeded. --SvipTalk 23:07, 4 July 2008 (BST)
That's the problem I had while trying to add info as well. Only a few times in the last week or two, but today I can't even get three or four lines of a transcript up. I've tried tons of time and haven't gained much progress. If I'm not mistaken, this happened on the old server too. -Mini-Me 00:06, 5 July 2008 (BST)

Into the Wild Green Yonder?

I never saw the little guy in Into the Wild Green Yonder, unless I'm blind. Am I completely insane or is this an error? Chris of the Futurama2 00:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I would say neither. Though it is odd, given the ending of the previous film. It would make more than sense to have him appear in the film. But I didn't see him either. --SvipTalk 01:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh wait, I clearly forgot, a topic at the Madhouse discussed this very issue. --SvipTalk 01:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Ooh, they did what they did in Space Pilot 3000. Cool. Chris of the Futurama2 02:04, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Lord Nibbler

I think we should go by the article name "Lord Nibbler" instead of just Nibbler, seeing as this is in actuality his full name (with title). This is the more encyclopaedic way to go with it, compare to Wikipedia's Lord Byron. What say you? - akitalk 18:44, 12 June 2011 (CEST)

I find myself conflicted. On the one hand, I think this makes sense. But on the other, I didn't think we needed to change "Amy Wong" to "Dr. Amy Wong" because she has only once been called "Dr. Wong" once. But on the third, mutant-esque hand, Zoidberg has "Dr. John A. Zoidberg" and Farnsworth has "Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth", and Zoidberg has been called "John" maybe once(?), so it makes sense for anyone with an earned title to have their full name in their article. So my convoluted, roundabout conclusion is that titles should probably be added to the headers. -- DeepSpaceHomer 19:37, 12 June 2011 (CEST)
I think the article name should cover all first and middle names (like John A.) as well as titles, and I do believe that Amy's article should be Dr. Amy Wong, I just didn't think of it until you mentioned it. - akitalk 19:40, 12 June 2011 (CEST)
Well, you make the point that it sounds more encyclopedic, and you're right. The Infosphere is a resource bank about Futurama, so we should strive to be as informative as possible. -- DeepSpaceHomer 19:45, 12 June 2011 (CEST)
