The prototype infobox I put together features VG Cats. What do you think? CyberSkull 08:33, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC)
- I like the info box.--ZeWrestler 12:38, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Jack Thompson
I believe someone should add something on the argument between VGCats and Jack Thompson.
- Nah. Else we'd have to put up something every time PA or anybody else got legal threats (which is, what, weekly?). Nifboy 00:36, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
- Might be worth mentioning simply for humor value; that, and it might end up as a long-term joke in the community, given that so far two of the big four PA-like comics have already mentioned it.
- Already mentioned in the Jack Thompson article. -Drmike 22:18, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- It should not be mentioned in VG Cats, but rather in Scott Ramsoomair's article. ~ Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 09:05, 2005 August 11 (UTC)
Pictures
Is it me..
Or should we try and add some more pictures into this page.
I mean a picture of the main characters would be nice to show. -MGL
nah, good enough as it is. I mean, they only appear in the webcomics, and putting an entire comic into the article? There are avatars, but those wouldn't "fit in". I don't know, maybe someone will do it. EAB 11:09, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Fan Pics
Should not be included, especially if graphic like that.
For comparison, go to other articles with large fanart sections or even to the page on hentai.
About that "citation needed" template...
Concerning the sentence, "The majority of this fan art can be found at a forum which has gained recognition for its collection." in the "Fan art" section, the {{fact}} template was added not to dispute the existence of the forum, but the claim it has gained recognition. Do not remove the {{fact}} unless you can provide a source backing up the claim. Please be aware that unless they are very high profile, forum posts and blogs do not meet Wikipedia's standards as sources. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 15:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Cleanup
I trimmed down the 'Characters' section, and removed the 'Fan Art' section. - Kalarchis 01:18, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- The 'Characters' section was just overflowing with fancruft and speculation, so I trimmed it down again. Also, I removed the section on Major Payne, as I don't think he's important enough to warrant a note. - Kalarchis 06:38, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Fixed a couple of bits of speculation in the 'Characters' section, Leo and Aeris are named after Scott's cats, as I believe he has said on numerous occasions, and is also stated on the site. Also removed the sentence pertaining to doctor hobo making a reappearance in a heaven-like place, as that was a guest strip and not canon. Oh, and Aeris doesn't live with Leo, as mentioned in 'Start the Reactor'. - ExterminatusNine 15:43, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- I was going to make the 'living together' edit he mentioned above but he beat me to it when I mentioned it to him. I snipped out the first of two mentions that each of Leo and Aeris' bios that they were named after the author's cats. - Raven The Hedgena 12:24, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Picture licensing
You guys have some problems with your pictures. First, the one of Link in the infobox is liable to be deleted anytime, as it's "with-permission", a long-since deprecated license. The other pictures don't suffer from that problem, but between you and me, I'd imagine that most people would be deeply skeptical of screenshots from popular webcomics which purport to be public-domain/all-rights-released with no shred of evidence to support that. --maru (talk) contribs 22:55, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- The infobox picture is grandfathered, but, yeah, the license on the other images looks bogus to me. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 23:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- The main picture used was uploaded before the policy change went into effect and according to the template is exempt from the deletion, at least that is how I read it. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 17:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
STOP DELETING THIS THEORY DAMMIT
People keep erasing the "there is evidence that aeris may have had a crush on leo in high school". And there IS EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE THEORY. IT'S A THEORY THAT MANY SEE AS TRUE, AND BECAUSE YOU SEE IT AS FALSE DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! IT COULD HAVE! LEAVE IT ALONE NOW! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.83.199.177 (talk • contribs) 11:36, September 4, 2006 (UTC)
- How about no? Raven The Hedgena 3:32 PM, September 05 2006 (UTC)
- look, I'm sorry, I'm a little annoyed. theories are accepted on wikipedia. some theories have their own article. for example, look at the THEORY of evolution. anyway, sorry about my screaming earlier, but I'm mad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.33.176.24 (talk • contribs) 15:14, September 5, 2006 (UTC)
- Theories are accepted if they are published in reliable sources. I don't recall anyone worthwhile writing about the possibility of romance in VG Cats. Nifboy 00:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

- Your use of capital letters has convinced me of your point. What an excellent strategy for online discussions/debates! I'm astonished that more people don't do that......
- And even if she did have a crush on him in high school, so what? Those feelings are obviously dead now, and that last thing that anyone wants is for a LeoXAeris relationship to start. Plus, the strip isn't canonical in the least bit, so trying to establish a relationship from one comic to the next is fairly pointless. RPH 01:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- If Ramsoomair says anything about it (forum, interview, drunken ramblings) I'll accept it (and probably add it myself). A crush is only one way of interpreting her blushing at the end of the strip. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 01:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, tis only one one of the waus to interpret it, but it is still a theory. Maybe we could compromise and put it with "however, that is only onoe way to interpert it."
Deal?-lopolo42
"the last thing that anyone wants is for a LeoXAeris relationship to start."
Speak for yourself. There are a surprising amount of people out there who want it to happen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.218.197 (talk • contribs) 18:28, October 3, 2006 (UTC)
Art Style section needs rewrite
Or possibly delete. It's POV, inappropriately toned and steaming with fan theories and unverifiable information. ~ Oni Lukos ct 23:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think it just needs a rewrite, I don't want it deleted, he has a nice art style.--Signor 16:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
G'day, I just tried to clean the Art Style section up as best I could. It's not very good, but I hope it helps. :) Martin Kingsley 14:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
200th Comic
Just a spot but ive noticed that Scott has seemingly skipped the 200th comic. Should this fact be put down or should it be put down as an in-joke?
- He's still working on it. I can't verify this, but I d believe he has said it at one point in time. Raven The Hedgena 11:30, 10 October 2006
- It's been many months since the last mention, I do believe. But he didn't skip it as a joke, more as a thing he was going to put more work into and...didn't. ~ Oni Lukos ct 23:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- It says "TBA 2009" in the archive.
Update art
A lot of the pics on this site use Scott's original art style and look nothing like his newer works. Any chance that thepage could be updated with more recent shots?
