[edit] Notability?
I did a bit of googling and I didn't find any indications of Scary Go Rounds notability. Article itself doesn't have any sources for this either. Is this comic truly notable? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability Isvaffel 11:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hugo is based on a real person?
Could I see a citation for the claim made that Hugo is based on a real cartoonist who shares his name? IMFromKathlene 03:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- This has been discussed on the official message board for Scary Go Round. ( http://www.dumbrella.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=8498 ) Apparently Hugo Rodriguez is an old in-joke; here ( http://www.dieselsweeties.com/archive.php?s=626 ) is a link to a page with a cartoon ostensibly drawn by "Hugo Rodriguez" which appears in fact to have been doodled by John A.

[edit] Overhaul
Made several (much-needed) additions to...everything. Hopefully it's enjoyed? :D Dr. ROFLPWN 12:32 PST, 22 September 2006
[edit] Character headshots
I was thinking about putting a little headshot of each character next to their info in the character list. However... I have no idea whether that would go over with the more anal-retentive Wiki overlords. Is that many (small) images still safe to consider fair use? Are characters from Some Guy's webcomic too non-notable to justify having a bunch of images housed on the site? It would be a fair amount of work to put edit and upload them all, so, I just want to know what the chances are that it will get undone before I decide to do it. --Steve-o 03:59, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- I would suggest not bothering as there is a cast page on the SGR site. Ventifax 03:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
What about that guy Will who used to try to charm Tessa until he was killed? --vivacissamamente 10:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
What about Moon, the girl Shelley just picked up from the airport? [1] --Martinship 08:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bobbins
In the introductory segment of the article, there is a repeated reference to "the Bobbins era", but the Bobbins comic it refers to is not mentioned earlier. Also, there apparently is no entry for the Bobbins comic, as all links to it from this article and the John Allison article lead to Bobbin. I think someone who is familiar with the comic should briefly explain what Bobbins is in the introduction. 81.197.67.221 08:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- The second paragraph currently begins "Scary Go Round started on June 4, 2002, roughly following on from Allison's previous comic, Bobbins." That edit seems to pre-date your question, so I'm not sure what the confusion is...? Bobbins is also mentioned in the external links. Perhaps the problem is the wikilink to Bobbin, which seems irrelevant, so I have removed it.
- If the intent behind that link was to refer to the Other Uses section of that article ("a load of bobbins"), I suggest that should be done in the introduction or a trivia section, or better still in the article for John Allison; and not in Shelly's description.
