From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just read the external link. Interesting read.

[edit] Uncle Moneybags

I always thought he was called Uncle Moneybags but maybe this is because Australia does not have Pennies nor use it as an alternative to cents.

No, it's not just an Australian thing. I'll accept that "Rich Uncle Pennybags" may have been this character's "official" name, but throughout my life, I've only heard him referred to as either "Mr. Moneybags" or "Mr. Monopoly." The latter nickname is especially prevalent in popular culture; when Jon Lovitz played the character in a 1986 SNL sketch, for example, he was referred to as "Mr. Monopoly," not "Rich Uncle Pennybags."

For the sake of showcasing the opposite experience, I'll just chime in here and say that the only thing I ever heard was "Rich Uncle Pennybags" (or just "Uncle Pennybags"), until they changed the official name. Kairos 20:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] picture?

Anyone want to go out of their way and get his iconic picture?--Exander 07:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. --JohnDBuell 18:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

Redirecting this article is a bad idea, especially using "Mr Monopoly": 1) Rich Uncle Pennybags is the historical name of the character 2) Americans always use Mr. with a period (full stop), so Mr Monopoly is flat-out wrong 3) No redirects had been fixed. --JohnDBuell 15:39, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

The move was done with copies and pastes anyway, which is not proper - talk pages and history didn't move. I had to undo it the same way. --JohnDBuell 15:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

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 Wikipedia: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.
