[edit] Clean Up
I have cleaned the article and added in some other sections. As such I have archived the previous discussion page.

[edit] Age?
The mayor is supposed to be 78 years old? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.176.180.0 (talk) 04:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC).
- Check the archives if this troubles you. mayoradamwest.com, FOX-owned, gives "September 19, 1928 (the birthday of the real Adam West)" as Mayor West's birthdate, so while it's not part of the show's known reality, that age is being retained. / edgarde 16:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

- How, exactly, do you go about concluding that a site with disclaimers on every page reading, "This is a fan site," "This site is not authorized by FOX or Family Guy," etc., is "FOX-owned"? I can see no justification for retaining either this information or the information that Mayor West is a Republican. Barring adequate citation, they both should go.205.212.74.243 07:53, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

- Maybe you've given the site a better look than I have. WP:SOFIXIT / edgarde 14:59, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

- I run MayorAdamWest.com, and yes, his birthday as posted on the site is directly from wikipedia. The Mayors character is loosely based upon the real Adam West, thus i saw fit to assigning him that DOB until otherwise advised or noted. Wraithlabs 06:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

- If one has to make a presumption for Mayor West's age, that's probably the most reasonable way to do it. However, we cannot make that presumption here. For all we know, the writers will reveal his character's age next season, and it won't match the real life Adam West's age. / edg ☺ ★ 06:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Republican?
Next question: how do we know he's a Republican? Is this mentioned in an episode, or are we just going by his natural corruption and idiot incompetence? If the former, can someone cite an episode (preferably with how many minutes in this is revealed). If the latter, this would also be original research, and must be removed. / edg ☺ ★ 06:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- I also haven't seen any evidence of Mayor West being a member of the Republican Party (in fact, I doubt West is a member of any political party). The only thing that would suggest West is a Republican is that fact that Lois, a person of obvious liberal leanings, challenged West for the position of mayor. Of course, that still doesn't qualify as evidence, as liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats do exist, and persons of the same political party can compete against each other in an election. Even if he behaves or governs (if you can call what West does governing) like a Republican, that does not mean he is one. Unless someone has definitive evidence that Adam West is a Republican, the bit about him being a Republican should be removed. --Armaetin 22:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Removed "Party" from infobox. Might keep it in if Lois were demonstrated to be a Democrat, but I don't think there's evidence of that either. Monster Raving Loony maybe? / edg ☺ ★ 23:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Citations
Someone apparently doesn't understand the difference between references and footnotes. Just sayin'. 69.109.127.123 06:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Footnotes sections entitled References are the norm on Wikipedia. If you want to make an issue of this, you should take it to Wikipedia:Centralized discussion, not here. / edg ☺ ★ 06:34, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Citation format
I removed several references which were just brief anecdotes enclosed in <ref> ... </ref>, and a comment instructing editors to "use the <ref>...</ref>" that was obviously confusing some editors. I don't think we're going to be able to teach drive-bys how to add information in a useful format — a more sensible goal might be to fix/integrate/delete (as appropriate) their contributions as they come in.
Please see WikiProject Family Guy/Episode citation style for instructions on how to cite episodes. Note that primary sources alone are not adequate for this article — sources other than the show are needed, especially for any analysis. / edg ☺ ★ 19:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dig Em
- Dig em war memorial it wasnt gold plated but solid gold hence depleting the towns entire budget
- It appears that the anonymous poster may be right. The Family Guy wikia refers to the statue as solid gold. Still, we could be right, and they could be wrong. 67.85.254.111 (talk) 04:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Marriage
In one episode (fictional) Adam West tries to marry one of his hands. His right, I believe. When the minister asks if anyone objects, he raises his other hand. Then he beratedly says 'You had your chance' - NemFX (talk) 06:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
