Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 14:29, 5 April 2006

Does anyone else think this needs some NPOV treatment? SimonMayer 20:02 14th Feb 2004 (GMT/UTC)

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

Strongly agree with the above. →Raul654 23:35, Feb 14, 2004 (UTC)

That may be, but this reads like a review rather than an encyclopedia article. Dori | Talk 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.

AMERICAN SPELLING SUCKS

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. Ridethefire3211 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. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 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. Bjelleklang - talk 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. Themindset 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.

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 South Park 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, Misplaced Pages is not made of paper. Themindset 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? Bjelleklang - talk 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. Bjelleklang - talk 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. KSchutte 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. --Gregh2k5 21:01, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I also deleted African-Americans, being that it seemed redundant since minorities were on there already. --144.160.98.31 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. Derex 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 South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. 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 Shut Your Fucking Face Uncle Fucker

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.
