Talk:Margaret Cho

message: Do we really need the quote from her comedy routine? Can't we just link to a website for stuff like that? --Ed Poor, November 2002
: Although the person commenting on the fact that the quote is the best part of the page sort of shows it's value, I'll answer your question more directly: first, the first quote isn't from her comedy routine, it's from an NPR interview. And secondly, quotes from comedians are valuable to an encylopedic entry if they give an example of the type of material they address; anything factual that can help clarify for the reader the content of the entry is valuable. -- Anon (68.16.134.146), July 15, 2003
:: The source of the Asian origin quote needs to be specified. (What's NPR? Magazine? Issue #? Year? Or tv episode airing date?) --Menchi 18:04 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:::NPR is National Public Radio, as in the most famous American radio station in existance. (Arguably, perhaps, but c'mon, seriously.) I don't know what the airdate of the quote was.
: I think the 2 quotes are basically the essence of her humour: what she experiences the most. We could incorporate those into the main body and chop the complete quote into pieces, but that sounds like an academic research paper, and the original quotes loss their true flavour. In any case, most ppl are too lazy to click on an additional link -- external most of all -- even it's right in front of their faces. However, I think anything more than 3 quotes might not fit into this page and needs to go into the articles on her shows or whatnot. --Menchi 18:04 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
We have the Wikiquote project for that very purpose....I am always confused as to why people insist that they need to fill the Wikipedia article with quotes. NickBurns 18:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: And which body awarded her the best comedian award? (I assume there isn't just one award for the whole world.) --Ed Poor, November 2002
: Somebody took care of this apparently. --Menchi 18:04 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
"She has also frequently supported gay rights and identifies herself as bisexual, winning several awards for her efforts."
That's hysterical. 12.135.58.53 20:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Awesome page, but if anyone has the Hangul for her Korean name, will they please post it!  Thank you Iluvchineselit 04:05, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  General feedfacks 

message: In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:19, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gay Icon Project 

message: Isn't it ironic that this is listed as a "korea-related stub," despite the routine listed on the page talking about her non-affiliation with korea? i honestly think it should be removed---it's not even pragmatic.
second, the picture is of a malenky big cho. perhaps a thinner pic, or an added pic of her now would be fair? Lockeownzj00 02:45, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: "Cho has three dogs, all adopted."
-- As opposed to her being their birth mother?  :-D
LOL! As opposed to her buying them, I think is the meaning. :)
:I would tend to support 24.0.77.170's suggestion that mention of Cho's dogs isn't noteworthy in this article.  Does anyone else agree?  Kasreyn 03:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I do not appreciate your remarks towards me in the edit summary.  Please refer to WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL.  I am baffled by them as well, because I cannot see anything in my edit summaries that could have led you to the belief that I was a supporter or fan of Cho.  I referred only to a non-notable junk poll.  Please do not attempt to read my mind in the future, OK?  Kasreyn 03:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Truth be told, there were eleven names on the list of worst comedians, since the Gallagher brothers were listed together.  Of the eleven, 8 were white, 2 were black, and one was Asian; hardly racist.  Of the eleven, 6 were female, and 5 were male.  Sexist? Perhaps, but not overwhelmingly so, especially for a men's magazine. The Reel World 19:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the current picture is terrible. She's sweaty, leaning forward so it looks like she has a fat neck, and her face can't really be seen. I suggest it be changed to the one on her myspace profile, it's much better. Any thoughts?

replies: text: Any non-free photo will likely be deleted. The thinking in WP now is that there's almost no legitimate "fair use" claim to photos of living people. We need someone to take a picture. -Will Beback · † · 00:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Picture

message: A lot of these requests for citation are out of hand and too much. For instance there is a request for a citation proving that her show "Asassin" was more politically based than her other shows; that's just fact! I mean, it's called "Assasin!" and the poster has Cho dressed like Patty Hearst. It's just self-evident. There is no need for citations of things that are just surface-facts. 66.16.165.41 17:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Since when did the people on Maxim magazine and its readers become a viable source on comedy commentary?  
Its like Hustler or Playboy or Sports Illustrated writers and readers being experts on comedy.
This trivia piece does not adhere to WP:LIVING so I'm taking it out. It's malicious POV, so in order to stay it would have to be super-relevant, and it's just not. It's gone. — coelacan talk — 19:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Readers polls are not scientific in anyway. They are journalistic tricks designed to help sell magazines. I agree that it is not suitable. -Will Beback · † · 23:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a reader's poll, it's an anonymously written article.  Whoever wrote the damn thing wouldn't even own up to it.  I don't think it's appropriate or notable.  - George100 06:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Maxim Magazine Experts On Comedy?

message: This article seemed to be very messy, so I really tried to reshape it and just move things around without being too drastic. 
I did make everything one reference style, and deleted the long quote (which IMHO, should be in Wikiquote). I know there may be some debate on the quote issue....
But I think most of the details of Margaret's life and career are ordered now, and the article should be easier to update. NickBurns 19:43, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: My memory isn't the best, but didn't she appear in an episode of Sex and the City? Maybe this could be mentioned in the article, as I recall she played a character not unlike herself Cattona 12:13, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't Margaret's birthname or Korean name be written in the Asian format? As in Cho Moran, or Cho Mo Ran, instead of Moran Cho? xero-7 (talk) 16:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: She grew up in San Francisco using the western format of "Moran Cho".  She refers to herself as Moran cho in her autobiography: (http://www.margaretcho.com/articles/individual_articles/rosie_book_excerpt.htm).      I think we should leave the western rendition as Moran Cho, but perhaps provide the Cho Moran style written in 한글, if anyone knows the 한글 form of it.   Sneeper (talk) 21:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

She was interviewed by comedian Dawn French in her television program Girls Who Do Comedy, which profiled thirty female comedians. ref "Girls Who Do: Comedy". IMDb. /ref
Does this belong in the Personal section? Is it even useful?
