Talk:Fritz the Cat

Fritz's background

An anonymous IP added the "Fictional Jews" category to the article. I believe that, as the character is meant to be derivative of its creator, R. Crumb, who is a gentile, that the character is not Jewish, although if citations can be provided proving that the character is supposed to be Jewish, I can add it back.

Maybe the name Fritz sounds somewhat Yiddish, although it's probably rather German. 惑乱 分からん 18:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Fritz the Cat/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

I shall be reviewing this page against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick fail criteria assessment

1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.

   • 

2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.

   • 

3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.

   • 

4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.

   • 

5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

   • 

No obvious problems found when checking against the quick fail criteria, moving on the substantive review. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:07, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   • Well written. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

   b (MoS):

   • Conforms with MoS sufficiently. I de-wikilinked Robin Hood as this goes to the folk hero, which doesn't seem right. If I got this wrong, please re-link. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • All on-line references are live. References that I have been able to check are OK. Assume GF for the print sources. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • I don't think we can categorize ref #9 [1]. It looks like a variety of wiki. On further investigation it appears that Markstein is an authority on comics and graphic novels, so OK for the statement it supports. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

   c (OR):

   • No evidence of OR. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • OK, I believe this meets the Good Article criteria so, I am passing it to GA status. Congratulations.

Spike TV series

Fritz the Cat is not for kids, neither is Comedy Central or [adult swim], but shouldn't Fritz the Cat be made as a Spike TV original animated TV show? If Fritz the Cat was a TV show, it would be rated TV-MA-L-S-V, meaning, super seriously not for kids. Fritz the Cat is not a kids' cartoon, neither is South Park or Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Comedy Central is a channel that's NOT for kids, so is [adult swim].

Spike TV/PFFR

Fritz the Cat should also be produced by PFFR (a.k.a. "PFFFR"). PFFR (PFFFR) is mostly PG-13, R, & NC-17. PFFR did make Wonder Showzen for MTV2, Delocated New York, The Heart, She Holler, and Xavier: Renegade Angel for [adult swim]. So now PFFR will produce Fritz the Cat for Spike TV.
