Talk:Quahog, Rhode Island

message: I propose a new section for this article that will include the fictional locations that are a part of Quahog (but not part of any known locations in RI).  This would include merging in articles like Drunken Clam, but could also include other locations, such as Peter's workplace and so on.  ju66l3r 18:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What, you mean like a List of places on Family Guy?--Loodog 01:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, wouldn't it be better presentation to have text describing each of those locations in appropriate locations (like the Quahog places in this article)?  I'm not a huge fan of "List of..." articles.  ju66l3r 17:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a huge fan?  Just because they're unusable and no one reads them?--Loodog 01:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone should mention that it's probably more related to the clam than the Rhode Island village. 155.212.30.130 21:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Okay, we simply aren't going to find any sources for this article.  Clearly, inferences for the location of Quahog were original research; however, the arguments for location are true and verifiable by map, and also of interest to readers.--Loodog 04:32, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So present the facts and eliminate the inferences.    WP:NOR wipes out about half the article.   I like the skyline comparison, but the caption is plainly OR. - PhilipR 16:24, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Although the Olive Garden is mentioned, it is not stated that it's in Quahog.  It could easily be in a neighboring town, so I have rewmoved that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.56.49.49 (talk) 02:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

message: To whomever keeps inserting the following phrase:
In Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Queequeg is referred to as "Qhohog."
This is completely unrelated and therefore should be removed.--Loodog 15:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it? I'm not sure if it qualifies as notable enough to be in the article, but first of all the name is written Quohog NOT Qhohog, so it is in fact related. (Melville's spelling is an older spelling of Quahog, reference the 1919 film  "Dredging the Quohog," which is about dredging for Quahog.  Likely Melville chose the name because Queequeg's character presents such a stoic and unemotional front, like a Clam. With Family Guy's PRODIGIOUS cultural references it would not surprise me in the slightest that it is either also a reference to Melville's character or that Melville's character was the original inspiration for the name. But unless someone from the family guy writing team confirms this it is just speculation so probably not worth putting in the article. Hvatum (talk) 16:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The first thing I did when I read that box was search "Arlen Texas" and "Bikini Bottom". Both have their own article. I'm not quite convinced there was any NPOV reason for the tag (on the part of the editor who tagged the page).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.228.54.78 (talk) 04:43, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
