Talk:Dave Sim

message: What is going on with the quotes section? My vote is that we choose quotes that are the wisest things Dave has said. Perhaps others want ones more characteristic of his eccentricities. Does anyone have any views one way or the other? YDZ 23:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Quotes section

message: I removed the sentence "Sim was admitted to Kitchener General Hospital by his wife and mother after several days of taking LSD" as the source used has several factual errors and is not a reliable source. If a reliable source would be cited, then I would understand including it. Margaret 02:21, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Dave's Bio

message: I'm not TOO offended by the last insert by 129.97.22.158 (I'm certainly not going to pull it), but a cite would be nice for verifiability. -- Richfife 21:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Attending city council meetings, etc. 

message: I reverted back the edit which made "Tangent" to "Tangents" as Dave's essay Tangent does not have an 's' on the end. I cited page 18 of Collected Letters 2004, quoting Dave: "...[I]f Dave Sim is so inherently and self-evidently  wrong in "Tangent" and his other essays (and let me express my appreciation: you are the only person who has used the correct name instead of "Tangents")..." Margaret 02:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tangent 

message: Dave Sim's take on "Abrahamic religion" is so very much outre that it cannot be blithely lumped in with the mainstream the way the article has done.  It's way out on the fringe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dogface (talk • contribs) 
: I agree. - Richfife 02:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cards on the table here, and with all due respect to the other editors, but some of the contributors to this article (and Sim fans in general) scare me (Not you, Hapax).  I haven't been working on it much lately. - Richfife 01:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: What's with the picture?  There must be a better one and one which doesn't make Sim look like an asshole.
*But he is one, so it seems approriate.
::Although I wouldn't mind seeing a different pic of Sim in the article, let's be adults and keep the personal invective out of the talk page, please. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 16:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Picture?

message: For completeness it might be helpful to add Dave's contributions to both Captain Canuck [poster in Summer Special edition] and his pencil and ink work on Phantacea, which he was doing just prior to launching into Cerebus. Verne Andru 18:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Who cropped that photo of Sim by Dave Fisher? Obviously someone without any design skills, it looks like crap now. I'm going to upload another one. Don't crop it!

replies: text: If you want to upload a better photo, please go ahead.  I cropped that one because the purpose of Wikipedia photos is not to provide "action shots" of the subject or to promote their opinions, but to show what the subject looks like. - JasonAQuest (talk) 20:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I concur.  The original, uncropped photo was pretty inappropriate.  I think the current cropping point is about the best that could be done given the source.  - Richfife (talk) 21:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If y'all would like a different photo, please feel free to grab one of the ones I took at SPACE last year and crop it as you see fit. Margaret (talk) 23:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Margaret, I've e-mailed you a pic that I cropped from one of the originals you took...since you took them, it seems fitting that you should be the one to put up a new pic since you have all the pertinent info for the description and sourcing. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 05:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  That would be a great contribution! And by-the-by, William Messner-Loebs could use a photo, too. Jimcripps (talk) 06:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Given that his views on women are all ultimately rooted in his belief that women are emotional and men aren't, it's... strange... that the article goes out of its way to leave that unsaid.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.114.146.117 (talk) 03:27, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The WP manual of style discourages Controversy sections. Such material should be folded into the general personal life, career and reception sections. Also, I believe the word 'controversy' is overused in the article. The word is almost meaningless. It is better to just simply state what the view is, or what the reaction was. Ashmoo (talk) 13:37, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: And if the "Controversies" section is going to be kept, does the "Creators' rights" subsection really belong there? I don't see anything in that part that suggests controversy. kane2742 (talk) 17:53, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
