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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Quick fail criteria assessment

The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.
The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.
The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.
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)[reply]

Checking against GA criteria

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):
Well written. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
c (OR):
No evidence of OR. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is broad in its scope.
a (major aspects):
b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
OK, I believe this meets the Good Article criteria so, I am passing it to GA status. Congratulations.

Comedy Central 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 Comedy Central 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]. [adult swim] might syndicate Comedy Central's new Fritz the Cat TV show soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.8.27.98 (talk) 18:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comedy Central/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 Comedy Central. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.8.27.98 (talk) 18:09, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
