Richest Man?

In "The Burns and the Bees" he loes alot of money from the stadium and got tossed out of the billionaires group and since the "The Rich Texan" was also in the billianaries group wouldn't that make Mr. Burns the second richest man in Springfield? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.254.89.216 (talk) 22:47, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

We usually don't change something like that based on one episode. CTJF83Talk 02:07, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Pronounciation of excellent

I think a mention of how Mr. burns pronounces excellent can be mentioned phonetically, it sounds like egg-se-lent. any thoughts —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theo10011 (talk • contribs) 07:55, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Running Gag on Burns senile mind

In the 451st episode Once Upon a Time in Springfield Burns thinks that 2010 economic crisis is the Great Depression and Franklin Delano Roosevelt is President! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.126.88 (talk) 13:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Mr Burns on Twitter!

Since the idea of this page is to help to get a better understanding of this character, is it worth mentioning that he Tweets on Twitter? It's actually a good read and all Tweets are in character! http://www.twitter.com/Monty_Burns --195.173.213.158 (talk) 15:42, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

No, it has nothing to do with the show. CTJF83 chat 19:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Montgomery Burns → C. Montgomery Burns — Mr. Burns' full name is usually given as "C. Montgomery Burns" instead of just "Montgomery Burns".—Marcus Brute (talk) 01:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

If you're going to change it to his "full name", you might as well change it to "Charles Montgomery Burns." To be fair, his name is also given as "Charles Montgomery Burns", "Monty Burns" and "Montgomery Burns" on numerous occasions, and all of those names are secondary to his common name in the show, "Mr. Burns". Since we can't use the latter, I think the current title suits things just fine. -- Scorpion 02:11, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Oppose He is rarely referred to as C or Charles. CTJF83 chat 03:12, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Oppose on basis of WP:COMMONNAME.--Labattblueboy (talk) 17:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Partisan participation in petitions

Mr.Burns has participated in a petition, and was instrumental in helping it pass because everyone followed him: http://www.tv.com/the-simpsons/marge-vs.-singles-seniors-childless-couples-and-teens-and-gays/episode/242858/summary.html

For some strange reason, in that episode they thought rich people like burns tries to get the best for society and so they participated when burns did.

Not sure if this is noteworthy enough though —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.59.147 (talk) 14:49, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Mostly just trivial. CTJF83 chat 20:10, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Marge vs. Citizen Kane?

To me, the sentence "He employed his wealth to make an ultimately unsuccessful run for state governor, only — like Charles Foster Kane — to be denied his chance to be Governor by Marge Simpson;" makes it sound like Marge was responsible for ruining Kane's run for governor. Am I alone here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kapelson (talk • contribs) 19:55, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I removed the bit about Foster as it is unsourced CTJF83 chat 20:09, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
