Does anyone else think this needs some NPOV treatment?




] 20:02 14th Feb 2004 (GMT/UTC)

:He is a fictional character who was written specifically to be all those adjectives. --] 23:35, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

::Strongly agree with the above. ] 23:35, Feb 14, 2004 (UTC)

::That may be, but this reads like a review rather than an encyclopedia article. ] | ] 23:37, Feb 14, 2004 (UTC)

The only thing that *might* be npov is these two paragraphs:
----
''Perhaps his family life is to blame: his mother is a hermaphroditic porn-queen (but a very sweet mom all the same), his father is probably his mother, and all of his other relatives appear to have exactly the same temperament as Eric himself.

''As the chubby antihero of the four lads, he was never intended to be the hero of the series, but within the first season he captured the popular imagination more than his three friends. The more outrageous his behavior, the more audiences seem to love him. His total (yet unfounded) belief in himself and disregard for others marks him for a type of greatness: he could be President someday.
----

== Revising 'who cartman hates' ==
Okay, there are a couple things in who/what cartman hates that might not belong.
1. The postal service -- when does cartman say he hates postal workers?
2. We might want to get rid of Stan, Kenny, Clyde and "those guys", and keep it strictly to people that he consistently hates as opposed to people he says he hates once in a while. Remember this section is supposed to define who he really hates to describe his character and personality. He really doesn't hate stan and kenny. In fact, in two episodes he says that kenny is his best friend.

I'm gonna make these changes now, otherwise, state your objections here and revert to the old page.
--] 13:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== AMERICAN SPELLING==

Yeah, there was inconsistent spelling of words that should either end in -or (american) or -our (british). Switched them all to American spelling, since this is clearly a subject based in America.

== Mental Retardation? ==

With the occasional faking of retardation to get what he wants, Eric is in no way, nor has he ever shown to be, actually retarded. ] 18:34, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Icon==

Is Cartman considered a cultural icon? He is one of the most recognized characters on tv.

==I don't think his mom self-inseminated herself. Think about it==
:Well, she couldn't have self-inseminated anyone else. Think about it. --]/] 00:02, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

::Just saw the episode, and according to it, she made another woman pregnant. She is Eric's father, while his mother is unknown. ] - ] 22:22, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

:::You are correct, sir. She is ''technically'' the father, not the mother. I say technically, because it was largely a joke to end the episode on another cliffhanger (of "who is cartman's mother?")that was cut short by Cartman yelling 'Ah shut up!'. She is still referred to as his mother on the show, and no further reference has ever been made about her status as father. ] 22:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

== cleanup ==

This article needs some work. It starts out okay, but then it launches into a huge unbroken mass of text that amounts to basically "Oh dude this one time, carman fed chili to a guy and his PARENTS were in it and then selma hayek and his frog and the totally omg jennifer lopez ben affleck he had SEX with his HAND and then..."


So I'm cleaning it up a bit.

]<font size="1"> ] </font> 06:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

== Necessary? ==

He's a fictional cartoon character, for crying out loud. This piece on the character of Eric Cartman would best be summarized and placed into the ] article. Misplaced Pages can't possibly have an article for every character played on television or in motion pictures.

:He's a significant character both in the series, and culturally. And please, keep in mind, ]. ] 14:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

==The quotes==

Do we really need 45 quotes? I mean, he's a funny character, but still....what about moving most of them to Wikiquote, and just list a few (5?) of the most common? ] - ] 23:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:Moved a bunch of them to Wikiquote, under the article on South Park. Left what I believe is the most commonly used. ] - ] 23:34, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

== Horrible. ==

This is pretty much the worst article I've read on wikipedia. You kids need to learn how to write. ] 15:04, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

== hi ==

I am informing that I removed category:anti-semitic people because he is a fictional character maybe you can make a fictional anti-semites category


== Who eric hates ==

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to create a list of the people eric hates, since his views define his character and personality. I'm putting it under the Quotes part. --] 21:01, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I also deleted African-Americans, being that it seemed redundant since minorities were on there already. --] 18:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
== Day Walker ==

I made this new article a redirect to here. Include the text below as you see fit. ] 21:55, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

:A day walker is a term used by the fictional character, Eric Cartman on the animated show, South Park. A day walker is a person who has red hair, with normal toned skin and no freckles. This is opposed to a person with light skin, freckles, and red hair, which Eric Cartman refers to as a "ginger". According to Eric Cartman, a day walker is "half ginger".
------------
and this
:'''Big Floppy Donkey Dick''' was the swearword used by Eric Cartman in the movie ''']'''. This was the phrase Cartman refused to say because he would have received an electric shock due to the V-chip implanted in his head. Widely regarded as one of the funniest swearwords/swearlines of the movie along with ''']'''

== People who hate Cartman -- Is this needed?! ==
Is the section about people who hate Cartman really all that necessary?

:The section is people that cartman hates, not the other way around. And it is necessary in order to describe the personality of this character.

== "Vandalism" ==

A complaint has been made directly to me about removing the "vandalism" that states that Eric Cartman a "dirty Jew hating, nazi-wannabe". I feel that a quick explanation is in order...

As stated in above threads, this article sounds more like a character review than an encyclopedia entry, and while the recently removed statement may have some validity to it, the point has been made several times within the article in a much more precice and coherent manner.

The primary complaint that was recieved is that since the statement can be justified, a point of questionable validity, it should not be reffered to as vandalism. My decision is to then change my notes and state that the edit was a "removal of redundant/conclusionary data". If anyone has a problem, feel free to argue.

-] 19:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

== Evil genius? ==

Do you think he should be added to the category "Evil geniuses"? I don't know...I mean, is he actually ''evil''? Hmm, tough choice...

=== NO ===
You raise a good point. I do not consider Cartman an "Evil Genius", but rather a typical 9 year old trying to cause trouble. I move to have the category stricken if I have support.

-] 15:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Look at episode: Scott tenorman must die! He is an evil genius.
Mr. Purple

== 'bout the Probe? ==

I think that everybody is forgetting about something here:
the anal probe that Cartman has, as well as his flaming gas incident.

==Eric Doesn't Really Hate...or understand==
I don't think Cartman actually hates Jews, Hippies etc... I think that he is just programmed to say catchphrases that he does not fully understand when he is agitated. Like he saw this on TV and just adopted it like an innocent kid who does not know of what he speaks.

== Verdict samples?? ==

Sorry but What the hell is this? I don't get it.
i removed that bullshit--] 16:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

== Anti-Semitism ==

HEy! I think i've said this before:Cartman doesn't belong in anti-semitic category, He is FICTIONAL!!
aRRRGH!!!!! iM REMOVING THIS

==Jesus Vs. Frosty???==

I thought that it was Jesus versus Santa in "The Spirit Of Christmas." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that it was Santa, not Frosty. -] 22:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

==Possible additions==
These give some more insight into Cartman:

At the end of "My Future Self n Me", an older Cartman travels from the future to tell his past self how his giving up junk food, laziness, etc turns him into a success in the future. Because Cartman thinks he's being manipulated, he vows to eat junkfood, do drugs, and etc, at which point his future self turns into a fat slob.

In "I'm a Little Bit Country", Cartman induces a flashback, during which he murders a messenger with a log to take his place. Sure it's a flashback and the people aren't real and there are no consequences, but Cartman still has no second thoughts about using murder to accomplish his objectives.

In "Toilet Paper", Cartman realizes that even though he might not get caught doing something bad, he might get caught later. Interpret this as you will. ] 01:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
