Is it my imagination, or is this page the least accurate and most messy of the four boys'? I'm new to South Park, but some "expert" might want to clean it up a bit.

It's terrible. It reads like it's been written by a total moron. And no, I can't be fucked to rewrite it since I just came from Cartman's page and that also reads like it's written by a moron ("impeccable German"? Who the fuck thinks Cartman has impeccable German?).88.64.187.134 (talk) 00:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

> He wears ... a bright orange jacket...

except in the picture it's blue... 213.236.117.2 13:01, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

He's wearing pajamas in the picture. I'm going to change the pic's caption to reflect this. Maybe someone will come along with a picture of Kyle in his normal clothes... [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 15:29, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

fixified (not by me, just saying) as of some time who knows when. Hemsath 04:51, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This section seems poorly written about half way through to the end, anyone agree? I think it could be worded a little better imo Alcryt 11:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would be better off just to delete the whole thing, the entire column just seems like personnel opinion to me. Is there any evidence that Kyle and kenny are the 2 "nicest" boys in south park? Half of the column doesn't even make sense, if no one gives a good reason to keep the section or unless someone does a major clean up I'm deleting it.

You're right, it is mostly nonsense, give me a week on it. I'm fairly busy, but I'll see if I can get more appropriate. I'll probably just end up rewriting the entire thing since I don't think there's much salvageable about the current entry. Tweeks Coffee 13:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

should we mention he carries a bag of gold around his neck?

One real bag and one fake... like all Jews :)

I edited the section on Kyle's possible homosexuality to include his attempted (and debatably successful) relationship with a girl in Hooked on Monkey Phonics. I also modified the mention of his dad's behavior in Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub. I don't think it really makes him gay (otherwise the episode would indicate that almost all of the guys in south park are gay), so I changed it to him having some "homosexual interests". I'm not sure if that sentence is really relevant anyway, so it probably should be deleted. 130.49.7.18 07:21, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't think we whould have any mention of his orientation. Anything that we could say on the subject would be mere speculation. Furthermore, every character has had some discussion about their sexuality, why is Kyle singled out? I think we should just state the few relatuionships he's been in and leave it at that. Opposition?

In some of the cafeteria scenes at South Park Elementary, in the background there sometimes appear two boys with Hasidic-like sidecurls talking together.

Also, in the episode The Passion of the Jew the synagouge is full of people! Not to mention Kyles Mother, Father and Brother are all Jewish! I am editing this remark, let me know what you think... Help plz 18:36, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is it just a weird coincidence that Kyle's name and Ike's name sound much like a derogatory word towards Jews? (Kike) I'm not trying to offend anyone, but it seems very likely.

There is no Russian surname that sounds like it, and it's meaningless in Russian. I don't know, maybe it's Polish or whatever, but no way it's Russian. MaxSem^talk 19:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My first guess "ski" would be Polish.

If I remember correctly Kyle hacked a government system in the first episode featuring Towelie. Anyone opposed to adding him to the Fictional Hackers list? (a5y 20:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)) No, also he hacked into something on the Movie but I can't remember what it was.--Yowiki 06:50, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't "Broflovski" be a Polish? Polish last names generally use an "i" instead of a "y" at the end, if it was Russian wouldn't it be "Broflovsky"? --Skyler Streng 06:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Serbian?

In Poland is last name Brosławski. In english it sounds like "Broflovski" ("Brovlovski").

'==Talents== Kyle only has a couple of talents. Of corcse his best one has to be when he says You Bastards after Kenny dies. Also even though Kyle really isnt good at basketball for some reason he is the best player in his town. Finally Kyle is a Jew Scout which will help him get into some college.' was removed for lack of any valid contribution to the article.

Although that particular paragraph might not have contributed greatly, there still should be a section on Kyle's talents in this article. 72.227.133.155 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 01:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added to the article, noting that a possibility of Kyle's heritage could be that he is Serbian, corresponding with the term "Serbian Jew Double Bluff", made up by Cartman in "Butt Out". However, no proof has really been given by anyone about his family's nationality, so it's still pretty much hanging in ambiguity. But it's at least one theory that lies in the actual script of the show. To see the script of "Butt Out", hop on over to the Scriptorium.

The article mentions that Kyle is diabetic, but I dont remember hearing that anywhere in the series. Can I change it?

No, because he is diabetic. That was why he was sick in Cherokee Hair Tampons. 68.41.61.195 22:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, his mother says "Kyle has always been diabetic".

The article lists Kyle's first appearance in the short Jesus vs. Frosty. But, there is no character in that short that resembles Kyle. Should this be changed to Jesus vs. Santa? Andy120290 02:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I looked at the South Park calender and then say the articles of the four boys. it doesn't make sense how Cartman can be the 2nd oldest, Kenny be the 3rd oldest and Kyle being the youngest. I'm sure Stan is the oldest out of the boys. Remember all the boys are 9. I will use the years 1996, 1997, and 1998 as examples and take it as this year of 2006. Stan's birthday is October 19 so and he's the oldest so he would have to be born in 1996. Kenny's birthday is March 22 but his article says he's the 3rd oldest and Eric Cartman's article says his birthday is July 1st and he's the 2nd oldest. But if Kenny's the 3rd oldest that would make him born in 1998. Kyle's birthday is May 26 and if Cartman is the 2nd oldest and Kenny being the 3rd oldest that would make him born in 1998. If Kyle and Kenny are born in 1998 that would make it impossible for them to be 9. What it should be is Stan being the oldest born on October 19, 1996, Kenny being the 2nd oldest born on March 22, 1997, Kyle being the 3rd oldest born on May 26, 1997, and Cartman being the youngest born on July 1, 1997.

I got this information from the South Park Calender.

Birthdays If you use the cutoff date of September 1 by which all kids have to be 8 to enter 3rd grade, or 9 to enter 4th grade, then the four boys turn 9 during 3rd grade, and 10 during 4th grade. Given their birthdays in 3rd grade, the boys turn nine in this order: Stan - October 19 Kenny - March 22 Kyle - May 26 Cartman - July 1 If Cartman's birthday is February 4 instead of July 1, the dates are Stan - October 19 Cartman - February 4 Kenny - March 22 Kyle - May 26 Stan is thus the oldest of the four boys. Whether Kyle or Cartman is the youngest depends on when you believe Cartman's birthday falls. Cartman's is the only birthday we've seen so far (except for Jesus' and Grandpa Marsh's).

From this information Stan is the only one that we really know what spot of who's oldest to youngest out of the four boys which Stan is the oldest and that we can put in his article. Cartman's birthday could either be February 4 or July 1 so Cartman is either the 2nd oldest or the youngest which we can put in his article. Kenny is either the 2nd oldest or the 3 oldest which we can put in his article. Kyle is either the 3rd oldest or the youngest which we can put in his article. I couldn't find a site that can prove whether Cartman's birthday is February 4 or July 1.

Kyle was too willing to give up his weapon in "Good Times With Weapons" witch proves if he had time alone he would most likely practice. I've read that a few times, but it still makes no sense to me. Can we delete it?

I would say yes since that doesn't make sense to me either. Oh, and sign your post next time. Misteryoshi 11:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The handicap of being black. The Black link lead to 'african american'. If you are black you are not neccesarily african american.

Kyle was fooled by the Blainetologists in The Super Best Friends and by John Edward in The Biggest Douche in the Universe. He also lost faith in God after a single morning's thought in Cartmanland, and tried his damnedest to follow the trends in Chinpokomon. There are probably other examples. If nobody tells me why he's the most rational or logical in a week, I'm taking that out. 152.3.46.147 22:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, fuck it. I don't feel like editing that out. Someone else do it. 152.3.46.147 05:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The part about Kyle's health problems mentions that he was the last to get sick in the Chickenpox episode. It might be worth mentioning that after his kidney transplant in Cherokee Hair Tampons, Kyle would have been on antirejection drugs, which supress the immune system. Chickenpox was before the transplant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.8.140.149 (talk) 03:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I switched the image, because vector images should be used in place of regular images. FictionH 21:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well someone's going to have to change it again because he wears an orange jacket and a green hat, not the other way around. Mattbutcher 21:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Say no more, I'll fix that. Despite the fact that it is an orange hat and green jacket in the version I watch. FictionH 21:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All fixed. FictionH 21:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for his brown eyes. I admit, he looks ugly with them. I'll give him blue eyes. FictionH 23:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I beg your pardon, but I'm afraid you're wrong. In the first place, you should not add any colour, as that is not how he appears to the audience. In the second place, In "Good Times With Weapons", his anime self is shown to have either brown or violet eyes. To give him blue eyes would be lying. Wilhelmina Will June 24th, 2007.

Sorry if it really is an orange jacket and green hat, but they make him look ugly, and it's the other way around in the version I watch. In fact, I'm now a Comedy Central employee and we have plans to change the way he looks, so I'm gonna put his future look. FictionH 20:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're lying.

A) If you're a Comedy Central employee than you'd be living in the US, where Kyle has an orange jacket and green hat.

B) Comedy Central is not responsible for Kyle's color scheme. This change would be directed by Matt or Trey and done at South Park Studios.

Please refrain from editing the picture again, it is fine the way it is. Tweeks Coffee 20:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SVG Image

That one is stupid looking. Please remake an SVG version of the Kyle image, but in the same pose as the current .GIF one. FictionH 20:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Or here is an idea - you could do it yourself. All the hard work has already been done. It would be trivially easy to change the pose. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 21:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• I've removed the PNG version of the image. There's no need to have two almost-identical images. JameiLei 14:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They're not identical. The PNG I made has a sad face, and the mittens are a darker green. And I absolutely hate it when someone claims an image of mine is useless. --98E 21:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, they're not identical, but it serves no real purpose. Would you at least be willing to convert the image to SVG format to meet Wiki's preferred guidelines? Tweeks Coffee 02:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really have no clue how to change a PNG image right into an SVG image, and besides, I rarely use Inkscape. Is there a tutorial that shows my how to change a MS Paint/Adobe Photoshop PNG into an Inkscape SVG? Only then will I be able to convert it. --98E 22:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I myself haven't attempted to anything with SVGs. I did locate this tool which is specifically made for converting PNG to SVG. You can also try SVG tools for other options. Tweeks Coffee 01:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no real way to convert PNG to SVG at the click of a button, as far as I know, due to the way PNG and SVG are created. SVG, or scale vector graphic, uses a series of points to tell the computer how to draw a picture on-the-fly, whereas PNG records the phyischal pixels that the computer must show. So, to convert it, the computer has to work out the individual shapes for the image, and while this isn't actually impossible, it can be quite difficult. You may have to accept that your image cannot be used on Wikipedia. I'm sure there are plenty of fan sites who will be glad to use it with a free licence. Smomo 16:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's some stuff about jews being steriotypically portrayed as greedy or amoral; I think that this is BS and should be removed. Should I do so? 146.95.224.173 12:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, and I removed it yesterday. Although Jews unfortunately often are portrayed as greedy, it has absloutely nothing to with Kyle's personality. Pointing it out as an anormality every time a fictional Jew is not portrayed as the Jews were stereotyped in the Middle Ages and totalitarian states should not be necessary in a free world. 96T 13:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle is NOT 8 years old any more. In case people haven't payed attention, age mistakes are always made on South Park. Stan once said he was 9, then 8 in a later episode. Cartman is repeatedly called "an 8 year old boy" even after being confirmed to be 9 years old. If Kyle is also having age mistakes made about him, why does he become 8 when Stan and Cartman are not? Grieferhate (talk) 22:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle is 9. Please stop changing it. I know everyone is now convinced he's 8, but as I said earlier, age mistakes are made all the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grieferhate (talk • contribs) 23:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How many times do I have to tell you people that age mistakes are made all the time, this doesn't mean that he is a different age from the others, as age mistakes are made to them as well?

Whoa! Slow down! Take deep breaths. Don't worry. If the users try to change his age to 8 again, I'll just revert it, and explain to them on their talkpages. It won't be hard. Young Mr. Broflovski is on my watchlist. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 22:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
