Sentence removed

"In that sense, Meg is similar to Davan MacIntire from Something Positive: both are relatively unremarkable-looking people whom, for no logical reason, many seem to find hideous." I feel like this point is already established, connecting it back to a webcomic (which certainly fewer people read than watch Family Guy) seems unneccessary.68.98.189.245 05:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Heritage

Her Heritage doesn't include English which is one of Lois' heritage. If Lois is from an English heritage why wouldn't Meg? Bryan the Magnificent 20:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Well actaully her heritage would be predominantly english since Peter isnt supposed to be her real father.Luciferian56 20:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Voice

Lacey Chabert did the voice for a few of the second season episodes. You can tell when the voice changes because it's just so markedly different. Mike H 08:44, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

The Untold Story

I removed a section about "revelations" regarding Meg in Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. I feel it's inappropriate to add information from the unreleased DVD; at the very worst, this seems to effectively condone internet piracy, and at the very best, confuses people. -DynSkeet (talk) 21:12, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

I believe that such information can be included, but considering that it is something that happens in a now-changed future it must be treated as such. violet/riga (t) 21:21, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
Speaking just for myself, I think I'm just going to avoid editing (or even reading) Family Guyarticles until the Stewie movie comes out and I watch it. I've already read two huge spoilers and I don't want to read anymore. Cromulent Kwyjibo 18:58, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
The information should probably be added back in. It has been hinted to in other episodes and just because the information is from a DVD that has not been released does not mean it should not be included. We would still include information from a Japanese DVD that had not been released in the US even if the editor who added it was in the US and had gained the knowledge from a pirated version. - 24.7.186.18 03:45, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

I HAVE A QUESTION!!!!!!!! ANYONE WHO SEES THIS PLEASE RESPOND!!! I'M HAVING A DISPUTE WITH MY ROOMATES ABOUT MEG GRIFFIN. THEY SAY THAT SHE IS NOT PETER GRIFFIN'S DAUGHTER, I DISAGREE. IF YOU READ THE ARTICLE ON MEG GRIFFIN(FAMILY RELATIONS) IT MENTIONS A COMMENT BRIAN MADE REGARDING STAN THOMAS, HER "REAL FATHER", I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF MANY JOKES THAT ARE DISREGARDED THROUGHTOUT THE SERIES, BUT I WOULD LOVE SOME FEEDBACK IF ANYONE HAS ANY. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.178.100.88 (talk • contribs) 18:34, 3 March 2006

Here's some feedback: turn your capslock off. Don't bold and italicise entire paragraphs. This is a forum for discussing changes to and disputes with information in the article. It's not a fan message board for settling bets or arguments. If you don't find the info you're looking for, try doing a little research and then post your findings here. 12.22.250.4 18:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Picture size

The picture for this article is rather large; it takes up the entire page (not including the Wikipedia bar to the left) on 800x600 and makes the page look odd even att 1280x1024. I would think this something of a usability issue, especially since many users probably don't change XP's default resolution. I do believe the image in question to be of fine quality, and advocate keeping it, albeit smaller. I myself don't have Photoshop on hand, so would anyone else care to create a resized version? 12.64.60.207 04:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

If you're talking about the thumbnail version that appears in the Family Guy Character box, you don't need an image editor to resize it. Just specify a smaller width in pixels in the line that names the image. The thumbnail is the larger original, just drawn smaller. Reducing the size of the original with an image editor won't necessarily change the size of the thumbnail if a width has been specified for the thumbnail. However the image as is is not unusually large; in fact it's about average. I've gone back in the history to before your posting and it seems to have always been its current size, 180 pixels, which is quite reasonable (and small). It does not take up the entire page at 800x600, nor does it look odd at 1280x1024. I don't understand why you think it does, unless your monitor is set for an extremely low resolution, like 320x240. 12.22.250.4 18:20, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Meg's weight

190lbs? Surely this is absolute rubbish! (Just checking in case it genuinely comes from one of the newer episodes that haven't been screened in the UK yet...) Libatius 19:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I haven't seen or heard this in any episode, the page earlier said 120 lbs, but it seems like someone changed that. They may be right, I have no idea. Let's just wait and see who says what.

I think that line should be removed as it hasn't been mentioned in any episode or interview that I'm aware of.Stu42 01:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Brittany 00:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I was really shocked when I saw the 190 pounds! She's a bit chubby but not obese like Chris and Peter. In addition, there is no reference to this in the show. So far, there's been very few references to her weight, but probably the most obvious one was when they were at the amusement park and the attendant guessed, "A lot." I think 120 is probably a reasonable estimate, but maybe should wait for a possible direct reference.

User:JEMASCOLA 23:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Her weight is now listed as 500 lbs.....Gavyn Sykes 23:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Meg's height

At one point, it was listed as 5'5" and then went down to 5'1" eventually. Like many cartoon characters, Meg's height seems to vary from time to time. Sometimes she looks much shorter than Lois and Chris, while other times she looks closer in height. Any thoughts?

User:JEMASCOLA 23:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it's just speculation. I've come across at least one editor who played around with all the heights and weights because he thought he could make an educated guess...Libatius 09:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Since there were no sources cited, I removed the height for now. -SpuriousQ 10:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
