Pronunciation and "citation needed"

I always thought the G was silent too, but I remember hearing not so long ago that (supposedly) the G *was* meant to be pronounced. This makes me suspicious enough of the claim in the article that the "G" is silent.

We need a reference, but preferably one with some authority (e.g. DC Thompson) - since I'm sure there are many web pages out there whose owners "know" that it's meant to be pronounced one way or another based on what they thought was right when they were a kid. :-) Fourohfour 16:20, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's possible to say that it is silent by referring to the TV series 'Dennis and Gnasher', in which Dennis clearly pronounces the name as if it were "nasher" TheDingbat 12:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still says The G on the beginning of both their names is pronounced silently.^{[citation needed]} TheDingbat is right, the TV show is a reliable source, can I remove the citation needed tag? Digifiend (talk) 12:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have now done so, as nobody disputed it. Digifiend (talk) 09:37, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nevertheless, it is a common trope in UK popular culture, that "everyone" pronounces the name of Dennis the Menace's dog as guhnasher. The reason for the mispronunciation was that children, having started learning to read, would consume comics among themselves and without reference to adults, so there was no-one to correct their mistaken pronunciation. (Not that they would've paid attention, anyway.)

not current anymore

It would seem Gnasher and Gnipper has been dropped, it's been absent for two months now. Move it to the past strips category? It was replaced by an extra Dennis and Gnasher strip. Digifiend (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 12:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't receive the Beano so I wouldn't know, but if what you say is true then change it. ☺ Spiby ☻ 12:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would, but I don't know how, as it isn't actually part of the article, it's the category box that appears at the bottom of all Beano related articles. Digifiend (talk) 08:50, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean Category:Beano strips or this: start_date=1986|finish=Ongoing|? ☺ Spiby ☻ 11:38, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was talking about the category box at the bottom of the page. The list you linked to doesn't seperate past and present, so is OK. However, the infobox would seem to need changing too. There's only been one Gnasher and Gnipper strip in the weekly Beano since January! Digifiend (talk) 12:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the article was moved after this RM started by someone... to Gnasher_and_Gnipper ; does this RM discussion still apply? 70.24.247.40 (talk) 04:56, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We should merge Gnasher's Tale here and then rename it simply Gnasher Eopsid (talk) 10:45, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
