The result of the move request was moved -- Aervanath (talk) 15:44, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Title should be changed to more familiar "Virgil Partch" -- which is what people searching would type in. Pepso 10:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The figure given below just isn't correct. Actually, the Google search for "Virgil Franklin Partch" gives about 900 results, while a search for the more familiar "Virgil Partch" will bring almost 5000 results. This is one of many pages on Wikipedia where someone has used a middle name in the first sentence and repeated this in the heading, even though few know the subjects' middle names. For instance, read Talk:Daniel_F._Galouye discussion on this same point. Pepso2 (talk) 19:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That is the normal convention - to name the article Firstname Lastname, and then in the first sentence of the article provide Firstname Middlename Lastname, in bold. In the "heading" or lead section, normal name use conventions apply, as they would appear in a newspaper, for example. The only time a middle name should be used in the article name is if that is how they are commonly known. 199.125.109.88 (talk) 23:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Is the requested page move proper?
This article was listed under non-controversial moves at WP:RM. In preparing for the requested move, I performed a Google search for the two names and noted that "Virgil Franklin Partch" returns 1,320 hits, whereas "Virgil Partch" returns 593. Accordingly, I am declining to perform the move as non-controversial without discussion. If there is still a desire to move the page to the requested name, please relist at WP:RM.--Fuhghettaboutit 21:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * My vote: don't change it. "Virgil Partch" redirects here in any case, so I don't think there's any problem with the current heading.  (People searching for him are probably as likely to type in "VIP" as anything else.)  BTfromLA 22:09, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I met Peter Partch, son of Virgil in 1973. He was my dive buddy in my SCUBA class and after as well. I visited their home a number of times, which was on the cliffs above Corona Del Mar Beach (part of Newport Beach). I know that Virgil spent a lot of time in Laguna Beach where the group of cartoonists (Interlandi Bros.) met at a restaurant, but i am not aware of him living in Laguna. I lost contact after about 1975 but the info here is definitely inaccurate about the period to which I am familiar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flagman7 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:VirgilPartch.gif
Image:VirgilPartch.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

PD cartoon available
While there is no room for it in the article at the moment, this cartoon is now at Commons and could be used if the article is expanded. --Nat Gertler (talk) 17:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Smithsonian source problems
The recent addition of a source from the Smithsonian is a problem, because the source is proving not only vague, but flat out inaccurate. It says that the strip started in 1960 (which seems right; the earliest appearance I'm finding for it is in April of that year) and that a Sunday version was added a few years later... but here you'll see a Sunday strip from July 1960. The Sunday strip seems to have launched production about the same time as the daily, its just Sundays needed to be prepared longer in advance. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 23:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
