I had his record "Grover Sings the Blues" as a child, but was disappointed to see it missing from this wiki. Here's a page about it: http://muppet.wikia.comhttps://demo.azizisearch.com/lite/wikipedia/page/Grover_Sings_the_Blues I noticed he had more than one, not sure how many though. http://muppet.wikia.comhttps://demo.azizisearch.com/lite/wikipedia/page/The_Best_of_Grover Human Being 21:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:EarlyGroverandKermit.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I've finished copy-editing this article as best as I can, but per WP:ENGVAR, I have left it with British spelling, usage, and punctuation throughout. This is perfectly acceptable, since even though Sesame Street is American in origin, it does not have a strong national identity in Wikipedia's terms.--DiderotWasRight (talk) 02:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, Wikipedia doesn't define "strong national identity", so your argument is moot. Second, the examples list a literary work (Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings), which is written in British English because the work, written by a British author, uses British English. Thus, it seems logical, that since Sesame Street uses American English, an article about one of its characters should also use American English. Therefore, I am changing this to American English. This is not currently against policy, and I personally find the POV implications of using British English distasteful.

(afterward) Wow, all that rationalisation [sp] for one word that is easily changed to a non-controversial one? Wow. Policy definitely says to avoid using either variety of English if possible. Still, per my argument above, I say all subsequent edits should be in American English. It may not be quite policy, but it is standard procedure to use the same variety of English as the original work.

Grover speaks with a helluva strong accent. Is this the original accent of Frank Oz (born Oznowicz)or does he exaggerate it a little bit on purpose? -andy 92.230.130.110 (talk) 14:25, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I find it surprising that there is no mention of Jim Henson as the creator of Grover. Perhaps there should be an "Origins" section that covers this material. I'm not very familiar with this history so I'll leave it to someone who is better informed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markgraeme (talk • contribs) 13:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grover made an appearance in Scrubs (episode "My ABC's", 2009-01-27), in one of J.D.'s fantasy sequences, along with several other muppets. | Loadmaster (talk) 02:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grover appeared live at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in February of 2005 to announce a joint effort between the Sesame Workshop and HGSE. — 76.24.223.16

I put in, about a year ago, info that said that the character had a UN ambassador role; this was added because in the eyes of the production company if not the UN itself the character holds the office.

I'm fully aware that this is a fictional character and is a puppet and that this is not a human or other living creature.

The character carried out duties related to the office when they gave it to "him", but has not done this for a long while and...

for an office that is low-priority and has few official responsibilities, why not go crazy?

What are the missing sources needed to make sure that this page doesn't have any overlooked references? Someone please help me by pointing these out; I want this article to not have such problems removed considering Wikipedia's 'Featured Articles' on the Sesame Street franchise (like the ones on the show, and the list of The Muppets on the show). Internet Informant (talk) 22:30, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are entire sections of this article with no sources whatsoever. Start, for example, with "Origins". One sentence claims to be citing info from a book, that should be verified and changed from the in-line explanation of the source to a proper citation. Everything else in that section should be sourced. Nothing is sourced. - SummerPhD^v2.0 17:01, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
