Split Spaceman Spiff

Judging from the article, Spiff seems to have the most sources and would appear to be thmost notable of the Alter Egos. it would make this article less cluttered if he had his own article --Hadomaru (talk) 08:04, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up

I've tried to clean up some of the mechanics of this page (grammer, phrasing, etc.). I'll leave it to others to decide if it's yet up to wikipedia standards :) Obviously, it still needs citations. Genesiswinter (talk) 02:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit

This is a heads-up: There's a rather lot of cruft here, and I'm probably going to cut out the less important parts (as well as improving the general quality of the article). Lordofmodesty (talk) 20:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no opposition, I cut the least notable characters. The article could still stand to see some copyediting, though. Lord of Modesty 18:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Hobbes is not seen taking part in Calvin's alter ego fantasies..." - UNTRUE

Under "General characteristics" is currently the statement "Hobbes is not seen taking part in Calvin's Alter ego fantasies other than to criticize his choice of alternate personae." I don't know how many times this statement can be demonstrated untrue, but I can think of two off the top of my head. One where calvin is imagining himself a zombie and walks up to Hobbes, who looks blankly at him for a bit and then himself gets in on the game. And the other where Calvin is imagining himself a Calvinosaur and proclaiming himself to be the greatest beast of his time - and then does something to Hobbes and then the "Calvinosaur" ends up getting chased by the "Sabre Toothed Tiger", the one beast that was greater, or something like that. Granted the latter example may not have Hobbes actually playing into the fantasy, but I'll bet there are enough examples that the statement is at most usually true. 174.25.26.154 (talk) 01:05, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely correct. I'm going to remove that claim. Not only do I personally know this to be untrue, but the citation referenced at the end of the sentence (^[1]) also does not support the claim. In the link, paragraph 9, it states "...Hobbes is often a participant, albeit a critical one (1/1/95). Hobbes also plays a role in many of Calvin's fantasies that do not focus especially on Hobbes – for example, he appears and is aware of Calvin's scheme to create duplicates of himself (1/10/90). These schemes, like Hobbes, are semi-visible to the world beyond Hobbes..." which is clearly the opposite of what is stated in the article. I'm pulling out this claim for being erroneous and unreferenced and will undo any attempts to revert it back into the page.ocrasaroon| ^{blah blah blah}
