message: Historically, is there consensus that the first cartoonist (in terms of use of the word) was John Leech? --BozMotalk 11:21, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  First cartoonist 

message: Copy the image, blow it up, and you'll see that it's Mark Trail (though whether that's the strip's cartoonist, Ed Dodd, I cannot tell). Interestingly, this PD U.S.-government image comes from the US Fish and Wildlife Service; the character Mark Trail has appeared in a number of children's educational publications by that agency. — Tenebrae 20:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the link to an "example of freelance cartoonist website" really adequate? Is not it just a sort of free advertisement, opening precedent to using wikipedia as if it was a telephonic list, i.e, adding things like "another freelance cartoonist website", "yet another", and links to pharmacies in medicine related articles, etc? I think that if the reader wants to look for a generic freelance cartoonist website or whatever, he can easily use an search engine, without needing a link to a specific site.--Extremophile 23:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

message: There was a request for merging since December 2006, so I merged Comic Strip Creator into this page, adding about 2 paragraphs of information. --Jackson 01:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merged Comic Strip Creator

message: From a western viewpoint, manga is a form or cartoon (comic) just as anime is a form of animation (from a western viewpoint). But this article doesn't mention manga at all, only mangaka at the "see also" section. I know this article is about the western type of cartoons/comics and their artists, but since japanese comics are indeed comics, they should be mentioned here. They even have the counterpart of the traditional single comic strips (like Garfield) of newspapers: 4koma or "four panel" gag comics (like Lucky Star). --Rev L.

message: ===Updated Suggested Edits===
Leading Section: seems clear and without any missing information. There aren't any sources in the leading section. The third paragraph also includes no source information. 
West History: Needs more information added to describe context. 
Comics: Needs much more information added to the descriptions. 
Creation: Makes claims without sources, seems anecdotal in nature, and sparse.
Types of animation: needs sources
Tools: Needs sources 
Tone of entire article is not an informational tone. The sourcing and information give the article a western bias, comprimising neutrality. 
The sources are not always reliable, and some are out of orders. Update the links, relies too heavily on blogs, from one area, and lacks variety in the areas of interest.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tagropp (talk • contribs) 19:16, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Updated Suggested Edits

message: The page Cartoonist displays sufficient material content in the lead section, the only suggestion I can add to this is that it could be broken into more sentences rather than the really long last sentence with multiple commas. It seems to be balanced well and has the appropriate header style running through it. The article has images that relate to the material in it, and the links work well. The coverage is neutrally based and the reference list looks to be reliable. Overall it seems to be a well written article other than a few long sentences that could be broken down into shorter ones. --Lchollingsworth (talk) 18:33, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cartoonist suggestions 

message: Overall the page is very well written, the hyperlinks all work and highlight important mentions throughout the page. The page is well formatted and structured. The only issues are that the "Tools" header should also feature the line under it like the other titles. Also the "In the West" subsection should be followed by information from outside the West to complete the history section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajaniskt (talk • contribs) 20:20, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edits to page  

message: 1) Under History section, there doesn't need to be a "West" subsection because there is no other region involved.
2) Works Cited page should be combined with the Reference Page
3) In the sections "Types of animation" and "Art styles" capitalize the second/third word.
4) Tools needs the heading format
5) Move the further reading either to the article or reference page  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.206.191.68 (talk) 20:22, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fixes Within Page 

message: I'm disappointed that no one replied at the time, but these comments are appreciated. I agree that the article is very uneven and inconsistent, and I've started doing some work on it. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 00:22, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Thanks

message: These two articles are essentially the same topic.  I've suggested that comics artist be merged into cartoonist, because not all cartoonists draw comics, but all artists who make comics are cartoonists. While some comics artists might bristle at that term (not a fan of it myself), that's the occupational term that's widely used, and the style of the art doesn't make it a different occupation. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 20:59, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Any input on this? These two terms are synonyms, and having two articles taking different angles on the same topic is redundant. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 12:58, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The key may be two different angles, and the differences between the two topics may be enough to keep them seperate. Haven't looked at the two pages closely enough, but both seem to have good material, and the key to a merge is for all the pertinent material to survive. Can this be done here without diluting data? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:40, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see this edit that clarifies things up. This editor's addition is backed up by at least one source which I've just added to the relevant section. --Omnipaedista (talk) 16:28, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
