For God's sake, I just created the article! Let me add some substance. Brooklyn Nellie (Nricardo) 04:01, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, I was just being bold. Didn't mean to interfere with your edits. If this is consistently a problem, you might try adding {{msg:inuse}}, which adds a prominent box (like this) to the page:

{{inuse}} <removed stale inuse tag> xaosflux Talk/CVU 05:45, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, Meelar. I have incorporated your edits and will keep the "inuse" tag in mind.

Cheers. Brooklyn Nellie (Nricardo) 04:18, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Encyclopedic Quality?

This article needs some serious work to make it encyclopedic. "The Four Basic Guilt Groups"? --Misterwindupbird 10:36, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Do you even read Cathy? There was a four-book series on the four basic guilt groups. They are explained in the article. You gotta remember: this is an article about a comic strip, not Psych. 101. Nelson Ricardo 12:37, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
I should not have to read the strip to understand the article! Hence the tag. I don't think it's badly written per se, but this is an encyclopedia article, and needs to be written in the language and style of an encyclopedia, while right now it ready like the preface to a comic strip anthology. If someone like me, who doesn't really know the strip, comes here to learn about it and ends up scratching their head and going "what the...?", I think it earns a "needs work" tag. --Misterwindupbird 19:51, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

Would it be POV to mention that this comic is commonly considered to be the worst nationally syndicated comic ever?

Yes, unless you give citations. If YOU personally don't like it, it's bias; if the 'National Society of Comic Strip Readers' takes a poll and that is the result, it's fair game. But you must give the source, and most administrators prefer a primary source. CFLeon 21:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
