does anyone know where nick simmons goes to college?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.90.213 ( talk • contribs)
Notability anyone? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.167.208.120 ( talk) 23:04:27, August 19, 2007 (UTC)
Nick Simmons is now known for his size as well and is joining a blues band. He is 6 foot 9. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.232.16.243 ( talk) 05:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
While I am certain that Nick Simmons has done voice-overs for "Robot Chicken" - he seems to have done his father in at least one episode - the credits as given here are for a "Nicholas Simmons": http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2369021/. I am uncertain as to how to proceed - I know the credits should be removed, but I also know something should be put in its place, since he did do "Robot Chicken" -= I just don't know what to put in.

Plagiarism
Unfortunately, his comic almost entirely consisted of stolen art from several other manga. A few of the identified mangas include Bleach, Nana, Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing, and One Piece. He also stole from someone on devientART. This stealing is not simple in any, if any, original pages, for every single panel is taken from existing manga, scanned, and photoshopped to be altered very slightly.
The truth hurts.. and his daddy's dollars are hard at work. —Preceding

Folks, please read Wikipedia:Verifiability. Specifically, this section:
Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media, whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, Internet forum postings, tweets, etc., are largely not acceptable.
Thus, any source for Nick Simmons' plagarism cannot be places like LiveJournal or Twitter, as they are not reliable soruces under Wikipedia policy. I'm aware the plagarism is pretty obvious, but per the sites' rules, we have to have sources considered reliable and are known to fact-check their articles as sources for this section. NeoChaosX ( talk, edits) 04:52, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
~In the case of the tweets, it's verifiable that those are the official twitter accounts of both VIZ Media and Tite Kubo, and as such should fall under the small number of acceptable uses. The tweets are there, I fail to see why we should wait to post the information until it's posted at a "reliable" news site. In the case of the references to the bleachness livejournal community, they all lead to picture evidence. It's not like you can inject opinion into a picture. I'm pretty sure both uses should be allowed. 76.180.19.14 ( talk) 07:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
~~To that point, I have removed the sentence in the first paragraph stating that he IS a comic book plagiarist. That is thus far unproven. 24.222.162.156 ( talk) 16:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
OK I have semi-protected the page because of the vandalism from anonymous IPs. It is set for 3 days in the hope that the heat will go out of it by then (if it gets picked up by mainstream media then we might have to think again). I have edited out most of the vandalism (like changing his occupation to plagiarist) and provide a trimmed down statement of what has happened, details can be found at the sources provided. This is in line with WP:BLP, which is an important and strictly enforced guideline. If anyone (including anonymous IPs) have any other good sources or want anything added to the article then they can drop a note in here and editors will check it over and see if it is suitable for inclusion. Obviously the level and duration are up for discussion, we'll just see how it goes. ( Emperor ( talk) 21:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC))

Sorry if jumping here out of the blue, but: has anyone multiple reliable sources about such allegations? Otherwise all this stuff cannot really be included in the article. WP:RS, WP:OR and WP:BLP are the policies that come to mind about this. -- Cyclopia talk 12:24, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
My question is does it really matter where the story originally broke when all of the evidence is easily verifiable. All you have to do is look at both books to see it. TheObvious ( talk) 13:07, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Edited first line to read 'alleged plagiarist', rather than 'plagiarist' as he's not yet been charged, nor have clams even been verified. 70.176.203.139 ( talk) 00:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Is it really relevant to put his Fathers birthplace as a hotlink to another wiki page? Its his father we are talking about, not Nick Simmons, and I find it quite frankly kind of bias. To make a point, I don't see anything about Hungary on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.90.22.220 ( talk) 15:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for not being clear Emperor, and thanks for the response. The reason why I say it is bias is because despite their family being of Hungarian-Jewish origin I see no mention of this heritage (on his fathers page its posted clearly), nor do I find the Canadian heritage to be set up as a link. Why one country gets a link but the other doesn't? To me that's like Takeshi Kaneshiro's parents getting one hotlink to Japan but no hotlink to Taiwan/China. That can really rub people the wrong way, as there's no real clear consistency to it. Also to make another point, Israel played a role in his fathers life and it is reasonably searchable via the web and other media that the father is appreciative of his origins. However Nick Simmons, as far as I know, does not show active appreciation or incorporation of his heritage into his professional life like his father *occasionally* does. Thanks for listening to my 2 cents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.90.22.218 ( talk) 22:27, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
He became a Canadian citizen a few weeks ago. I think it should be mentioned somewhere. Norum 05:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
I find it interesting that there's no mention of the fact that Nick Simmons' manga, Incarnate, is believed to be plagiarized directly from Bleach, Hellsing, and a couple others, to the point that there are some panels that are the exact same ( traced). 99.236.97.151 ( talk) 19:12, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
