[edit] Bagdasarian a cartoonist or not?

If you know of a cartoon drawn by David Seville, please add a description and discussion to the article. The fact that a cartoon was made of the Chipmunks in no way makes him a cartoonist. Some of the greatest comic books ever drawn are about Tarzan, but that doesn't make Edgar Rice Burroughs a cartoonist. Ortolan88 01:52, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • I have removed the reference and category of Bagdasarian being a cartoonist. Please provide a reference to back up the claim that he was a cartoonist before re-adding it to the article. Kevyn 16:07, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Someone might want to go and read the History section on http://www.TheChipmunks.com/ ; it seems to establish that in the pre-1960 record packaging the Chipmunks were represented as fairly natural looking chipmunks; their later anthropomorphized forms are more conducive to animation (especially given the prevalent techniques of the time). This latter form seems like a step that would have been taken at a television network or a contract animation house. Final approval might still have rested with Ross, leaving his status as producer and creator intact, but this does not require him to have been a cartoonist. knoodelhed 18:14, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bagdasarian.jpg

Image:Bagdasarian.jpg 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 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.
