Talk:George Liquor

message: I have a feeling that the reason George Liquor's name was edited out has to do with the fact that "liquor" means alcohol, something Nickelodeon extremely rarely to NEVER MENTIONS.

thread_title:  Name Controversy 

message: The current explanation for George's genesis is supported in a partial scan of an article from 'Film Threat' on John K's own blog:

In it's current context it is educational but does it qualify as a 'Citation'? Does the copyright of the original magazine mean it is invalid for a Wiki citation?

replies: text: I would use the magazine for the citation, and I have seen other articles that do the same thing. But do you know where the rest of the magazine article is? It cuts off while they're talking about George Liquor. Gak Blimby 15:57, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: GA Review

message: This article is not a Good Article.  I corrected a few typos but there are still numerous problems of spelling, grammar, and punctuation.  Many sentences are repeats.  For example, the last sentence of the Creation section is essentially the same as the last sentence of the Character section.  There are several examples of poor writing, such as the phrase "him and the Spumco staff."
Further, there is a marked lack of clarity in this piece.  The sentence "The Ren and Stimpy Show" was a series that Kricfalusi created."  What kind of series?  When stating that the show "ran" at Spumco, what do you mean: drawn, produced, managed?
Many facts are confusing.  When John K's father is mentioned, do you mean his father or the character "Dad" from the show?  When I read your sources, it seemed to indicate the character, not John K's actual father.  Also, was the "Dog Show" episode broadcast or not?  You say it was, but end the paragraph saying it wasn't.
Lastly, my biggest concern is that Gak Blimby in at least one case lifted an entire section from his source.  The segment "Some fans of the series have insisted the rumor that George's last name was censored because an official at Nickelodeon believed that the name was not a reference to alcohol but a sexual act ("lick her"). Nickelodeon has denied this rumor but has not explained the censoring of George's last name" was taken straight from Forbidden Animation, as  shows.  I have deleted that section for obvious reasons, but am concerned that there are other copyright issues going on here. Clockster (talk) 13:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't had a chance to do a lot of digging yet, but after a few moments discovered not only was some text lifted from Forbidden Animation, but much of this article is lifted from this site: http://www.amazines.com/The_Goddamn_George_Liquor_Program_related.html - I am removing the cv-unsure tag and posting this in the Wikipedia:Plagiarism page.

replies: text: WAIT A MINUTE! OK, I admit that I copied more than I should have (it should've been none), however, the problem is solved, and I'm not going to ever make that mistake again.  HOWEVER, I DID NOT COPY FROM AMAZINE! THAT CITE IS ONE OF WIKIPEDIA'S MANY MIRRORS THAT TOOK THIS ARTICLE! See for yourself.

replies: text: Your indignation is misplaced.  You copied from "Forbidden Animation" verbatim, which is why I was checking for other possible copyright concerns in the first place.  I admit that I mistakenly thought the amazines.com site did not mirror this article (as mentioned on my talk page, I assumed too much from spelling differences, and was mistaken about amazines being used as a source).  Now that I'm sure it's a mirror, I will take this off the plagiarism list, and have no problem admitting the error -- without the use of all caps. Clockster (talk) 09:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
