Need to add The Simpsons: Tapped Out.

Surely you guys could upload a more recent picture, right? I mean 1974 was way before the role she is most well-known for even existed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:ED02:A200:6833:827:1683:78A6 ( talk) 07:40, 19 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Per WP:Manual of Style/Infoboxes, "The purpose of an infobox is to summarize, but not supplant, the key facts that appear in an article." The parameter "known_for" is "A brief description of why the person is notable" per Template:Infobox_person. This recent edit removed Kavner's role as Marge Simpson from the infobox with edit summary "Already listed in the article itself." It would be surprising if what any person is most known for were NOT already in the article. I believe Marge Simpson should stay in Kavner's infobox.

For my knowledge, Marge Simpson is what this actress is best known for and therefore should definitely be in the infobox. Though looking at the other five Simpsons regular voice actors who appear first on the episode credits, these infoboxes don't show what they're best known for.

Look, I’m not trying to start an argument, but I don’t see a big deal with this issue, but you both do. None of the other Simpsons actors have known for in their infobox sections, why Julie Kavner!?!? It isn’t even a big deal. Users can remove what they want, you guys are NOT the Wikipedia police ok! You don’t directly own this article you know, were is the whole “Wikipedia, were anyone can edit” like they use too? It’s not anymore. It’s a dumb self centered control site were no one can correct and fix anything they want anymore like they use too. Seriously, just please give this a rest already I’m begging you, just leave that section alone. 2601:188:CC82:A030:DC61:12A7:B824:28D ( talk) 20:22, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply

The infobox template instructions linked above say that the "known_for" parameter allows people to add "A brief description of why the person is notable." Kavner would not have a Wikipedia article for her Rhoda work alone. It was her Marge that made her famous.

"Anyone can edit" Wikipedia, but when folks express differing opinions on how to represent the topic, the solution is to see whether a majority of the editors share the same opinion, forming a consensus. Most people here are okay with having the infobox parameter list Marge. ... Binksternet ( talk) 21:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply
