Talk:Meg Griffin/Archive 1

message: "In that sense, Meg is similar to Davan MacIntire from Something Positive: both are relatively unremarkable-looking people whom, for no logical reason, many seem to find hideous."
I feel like this point is already established, connecting it back to a webcomic (which certainly fewer people read than watch Family Guy) seems unneccessary.68.98.189.245 05:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Heritage

message: I removed a section about "revelations" regarding Meg in Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. I feel it's inappropriate to add information from the unreleased DVD; at the very worst, this seems to effectively condone internet piracy, and at the very best, confuses people. -DynSkeet (talk) 21:12, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
:I believe that such information can be included, but considering that it is something that happens in a now-changed future it must be treated as such.  violet/riga (t) 21:21, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking just for myself, I think I'm just going to avoid editing (or even reading) Family Guyarticles until the Stewie movie comes out and I watch it. I've already read two huge spoilers and I don't want to read anymore. Cromulent Kwyjibo 18:58, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

text: The information should probably be added back in.  It has been hinted to in other episodes and just because the information is from a DVD that has not been released does not mean it should not be included.  We would still include information from a Japanese DVD that had not been released in the US even if the editor who added it was in the US and had gained the knowledge from a pirated version. - 24.7.186.18 03:45, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  ''The Untold Story'' 

message: The picture for this article is rather large; it takes up the entire page (not including the Wikipedia bar to the left) on 800x600 and makes the page look odd even att 1280x1024. I would think this something of a usability issue, especially since many users probably don't change XP's default resolution. I do believe the image in question to be of fine quality, and advocate keeping it, albeit smaller. I myself don't have Photoshop on hand, so would anyone else care to create a resized version? 12.64.60.207 04:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're talking about the thumbnail version that appears in the Family Guy Character box, you don't need an image editor to resize it.  Just specify a smaller width in pixels in the line that names the image.  The thumbnail is the larger original, just drawn smaller.  Reducing the size of the original with an image editor won't necessarily change the size of the thumbnail if a width has been specified for the thumbnail.  However the image as is is not unusually large; in fact it's about average.  I've gone back in the history to before your posting and it seems to have always been its current size, 180 pixels, which is quite reasonable (and small).  It does not take up the entire page at 800x600, nor does it look odd at 1280x1024.  I don't understand why you think it does, unless your monitor is set for an extremely low resolution, like 320x240. 12.22.250.4 18:20, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture size

thread_title:  Meg's weight 

message: At one point, it was listed as 5'5" and then went down to 5'1" eventually.  Like many cartoon characters, Meg's height seems to vary from time to time.  Sometimes she looks much shorter than Lois and Chris, while other times she looks closer in height.  Any thoughts?

replies: text: I think it's just speculation.  I've come across at least one editor who played around with all the heights and weights because he thought he could make an educated guess...Libatius 09:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Meg's height 

message: Are there sources for these claims about Meg's character and the way she has been recieved? The use of weasel words seems pretty blatant in that spot; it looks like it could also be suspect to original research...  I think the whole section either needs a substantial rewrite or needs to be removed completely. Thoughts? --SingCal 08:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I sincerely doubt internet debates are notable enough to be considered controversy on Wikipedia, it is impossible for everyone to universally agree because every single human being has their own opinion on every subject.

thread_title:  Fan Reaction section... 

message: When Meg imagines Tom Tucker swimming across a pool, walks up to her and says, "Meg, you know how cute I always thought you were", was a nod to Phoebe Cates famous red bikini pool scene in Fast Times At Ridgemont High, was it not? If I am correct, that could be good to add. Raerah 23:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The other Meg Griffin

message: In "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire", Brian said Meg is 17. I know he was drunk when he said it, but Meg didn't correct him, which would that she really is 17. Plus Meg was established as a high school junior in Peter's Got Woods, meaning that her age is either 16 or 17, right?
she might have been freacked out and didnt know what to say sailor cuteness-ready for love 16:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also of note, in the first season, when she had her learner's licence, she was 15 years old. Wasn't there also an episode when she had a birthday? As i recall, Peter and Louis couldn't remember how old she was turning. I believe Meg said she was turning 17. If all that were true, that would mean that she actually aged in the show from 15 to 17 years old. Correct me if i am wrong. Masterhatch (talk) 18:39, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  KILLED?!?! 

message: In one episode in which Stewie is transported into the near future, we learn that Chris looses quite of bit of weight, cuts his hair short, marries and becomes a police officer. More shocking, Meg appears to have gone through a complete female-to male gender reassignment and has changed her/his name to Ron (or is it Rod?). Sporting a moustache, Ron doesn't miss any opportunity to remind his family he is a guy! Sadly, we see a grave stone in the backyard with the name "Brian" on it.Buddmar 14:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meg A Female-To-Male Transsexual? 

message: I belive we need to ajust the section on apperence as it continues on about her unpopularity with the other charecters and other information that should start a new section like social encounters or something along the line of that. 
And, Buddmar, your comment about megs sex change, I belive that you are talking about Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story which also ends with Stewie going back in time, and after the events that take place there, Meg asks a boy what his name was, which his reply was Ron. Meg then starts talking to herself on how she always liked the name Ron. 203.173.213.149 04:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re-structure 

message: Several sections in the article seem to have been vandalized. For example, the sentence "Her plain look is often a topic of Fuglyness for the show; though she looks like an average girl, characters on the show act as though she was splendedlu beautiful." along with many other parts, some of which I tried to fix.
¿Really? man, who could find her attractive.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.12.156.120 (talk) 02:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalized 

message: Quagmire, however, has displayed an interest in her, usually asking if she is 18, the age of consent in America.
This seems embellished. Has Quagmire made this inquiry more than once? How can it be "usually"? / edg ☺ ☭ 17:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  usually asking if she is 18 

message: What was the episode where Meg's occasional peers identified Meg as the only one who had ever had a boyfriend? (Meg was then depicted with a corpse.) Would help to have the timing and the exact quote as well.
2 or 3 other items are currently tagged , needing specific episode citations. Ideally these should be done as inline citations, but if that is hard to figure out just add the episodes however you can and someone else will clean it up. / edg ☺ ☭ 17:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
