Talk:Queer Eye (2003 TV series)

message: They should included something about Jai not being the original person for culture, but i don't know who the original guy was, or why he was replaced.--69.171.35.198 17:42, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't personally read Sluggy Freelance, but I do recognise it as a popular webcomic. Yet, I think I agree with Montcrief's deletion of the reference - as Sluggy Freelance does not specifically concern issues of masculinity, nor does it continually reference Queer Eye, it isn't necessary to mention it in the article. Just a thought. Rhymeless 04:52, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

message: :Future plans the company has toyed with include a Queer Eye for the Straight Girl show, now reported to be in the works, as well as a presumed-to-be-one-time show called Queer Eye for the Gay Guy, in which the Fab 5 helped another gay guy out. This ran during Gay Pride month, June.
:If it's a "future plan" and "ran during Gay Pride month", did it happen or not? 力伟|☺ 23:42, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Who made the link from fab 5 to this? Anyone remotely knowledgable in sports considers the fab 5 to be the near dream team which was the Michigan Wolverines basketball team in 1991. This excerpt is taken from the "chris webber" page: 
While at Michigan, Webber led the group known as the Fab Five, which included himself, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson. This group, all of whom entered Michigan as freshmen in the fall of 1991, took the basketball team to the NCAA finals twice. The Fab Five, sporting long, baggy shorts and black shoes, became immensely popular as they were seen as bringing a hip hop flavor to the game. Four of the Fab Five (Webber, Rose, Howard, and King) made the NBA, and three of them (Webber, Rose and Howard) are still playing today.
The fab 5 changed basketball forever - at least the clothing style. Not to mention being famous for the scandal that destroyed the michigan basketball program. if i called myself god, could the god page redirect to "Vir Singh" (my name)?
:quick note, "fab 5" redirects here, but "fab five" goes to a disamiguation page which i had not previously seen. i would fix the first one, but i dont know how.
::Fixed, thanks for catching that.  The Michiganders are important, but the nickname has been given to several other groups as well; it was even used on the cover of Rolling Stone for the pop group Duran Duran.  — Catherine\talk 18:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  This is the fab 5? 

message: To clarify, the official name of the show IS just "Queer Eye." Bravo and Scout decided to change the name during the second year, this decision was made partly because our own exhaustive research showed that this name was used far more than the original full name, and secondly because we had expanded the show to include makeovers on all sorts of people, not just on straight men. You will only see the title "Queer Eye" appear on the official website, and any magazine or newspaper article anyone associated with the show does. As the name is the official name of the show and the only name used by the show itself, and as it is far more widely used, and as this page refers to the entire show (including all the episodes that were not about straight guys), and all straight girl and other versions, it is preferable not to use our shortlived original name.
The analogy with "The United States of America" not always being used is inaccurate as that actually is the full name of the country. "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is NOT the name of the show and has not been for a long time. Queer Scout 11:54, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It might not hurt to add a source regarding the name change, to discourage someone moving this article to the original title. 23skidoo 22:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I changed the beginning of the article to reflect that Queer Eye is the name of the show currently, with the long name as the original name. It still needs a source, however. AEMoreira042281 04:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Official Name Change

message: i took a stab at more re-structuring, cutting down the Overview section which was getting a bit chubby, and re-distributing the info into new sections Cast, Critical Response and Trivia (often found in series articles). i would suggest working next on getting a workable References section rather than adding a Quotes section -- those exist elsewhere online (although an external link might be okay). i think that if we do this, we're on our way to achieving a wiki-worthy encyclopedic tone that is not a fansite, although i freely admit to fandom. :)  --  Denstat 18:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: added it into the parody section, more appropriate but its a good link, cited. and noteworthyT ALK•QRC2006•¢ʘñ†®¡ß§ 04:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: hi, i posted a note on your Talk page -- i just saw this cited parody contribution. i think it's likely to be reverted, for two reasons: the actual film description states that it has absolutely no link to the show, and therefore while it plays off the tv series title, it's not a parody (i.e. if it were a gay makeover/orgy, then yes its content would be a parody). the other reason is that your link goes to a page with graphic sexual images & themes, and i may be wrong but i suspect that wikipedia may not allow that kind of adult content linkage. -- Denstat 06:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I reverted the article to the .PNG pictures for two reasons:
1. The cast photo is not needed to identify the persons in the presence of the logo.
2. A .JPG logo is inferior to a .PNG or .SVG photo. All non photographic images should be in .PNG or .SVG. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 05:22, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
