[edit] Separate character section already?
Until more episodes are aired is it really necessary to have a separate character list? The information seems to be the same in both so at this stage it's pretty much redundant. --carpeNoctem 04:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Unless Frisky Dingo is cancelled early, there should soon be ample information to put in this section. I do agree that the redundancy is pointless, though, and so it would be best to remove the summaries from the main page. MGlosenger 06:09, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Whoops, I thought this was on the Frisky Dingo's Character page. You see what I mean, though.. Separate page good. MGlosenger 06:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that looks good now on the separate page. --carpeNoctem 08:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Killface's MySpace
I noticed in the external links now someone has added a MySpace profile for Killface. Upon visiting the link I am not very sold that this is an official profile but more the work of a really devoted and possibly bored fan with a bit too much time on his/her hands (same applies for his son Simon's profile). Anyone can create a MySpace profile. Is there any reason for this to be included here? --carpeNoctem 09:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I personally am sure it's run by the show. Verifiable evidence:
- Many of the "photos" in Killface's profile could only come from production art. Most of the images shown are seen briefly in the background on the show decorating Killface's lair, but not that clearly, and the "paintings" especially would be hard for a fan to duplicate so closely.
- Many of Killface's "top friends" are the show's staff, a couple of whom have Killface in their own "top friends" in return. ("Mack" is Mack Williams, and "Neal" is Neal Holman, both of 70/30.)
- Killface's signup date to myspace (viewable on his blog page) was 9/17/06. Simon's was 9/29/06. The show didn't air until 10/16/06, or 10/13(?) on adultswim.com. While Killface was in the teasers and promotional writeups, Simon was not.
- Killface has left (in-character) comments on Simon's Myspace as early as 10/11/06, five days before the show aired on TV.
- If you really think it's inappropriate then please feel free to delete it, but I am convinced it's notable as a promotional gag by the guys behind the show. Perhaps it might be a better fit on the "characters" article? Rob T Firefly 00:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. It's just that at first glance it just looks so minimalistic and sparse with barely anything to it. Perhaps this will change. I actually took the time to look through the Friends and etc. and I side with you. Also I got introduced to this great band Pleeeaseasaur because it's in his top 8. The irony is that everyone challenged me over whether the Dethklok MySpace for the band from the show Metalocalypse which was not designated as being official at the time was real or not (and it turned out to be official), and here I am questioning this MySpace profile. lol. Looks like pretty strong evidence that both Killface and Simon's profiles were made by the creators as a promotional tie-in. I had to give evidence much in the way you did for others to believe my claims about the Dethklok page as well. I think it should stay and Simon's could be added as well. --carpeNoctem 14:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Frisky Dingo Wikiquotes Page
When someone gets the chance, can they add the spiffy image link thing to the Wikiquotes page for this show? I'm too much of a newb and too lazy to figure it out right now. -- ModernTenshi04 16:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Uh, yeah, got unlazy and added it. Saw someone added the graphic to the Wikiquote page that linked to the show's main article, and simply did what they did, swapping wikipedia with wikiquote. Now I feel retarded for asking someone else to do what is basically extremely easy. Anyway, go me! -- ModernTenshi04 17:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Neat! Thanks for being less lazy than everyone else! Rob T Firefly 04:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling of the X-ticles / Xtacles
How about we try to reach a consensus on the talk page as opposed to reverting it back and for? What does everyone think should be used, the form from the Web site or the spelling on the show itself? I'd prefer the show, since Adult Swim's Web site isn't always reliable as a source, but I'd like to hear what others think. SGreenwell 22:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I find it weird that they decided on this spelling when various publications[1][2] about Frisky Dingo and adultswim's official site[3] used the spelling X-ticles. Where did they get their info from? Gdo01 22:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- One thing I remember from my hazy memories of running a Sealab 2021 fansite, is that while the adultswim.com crew are a great bunch of people, they're generally not the same people as those behind the Adult Swim shows. Thus, mistakes can and do happen on their end. Or, maybe it was 70/30 who made the mistake on that Xtacle paycheck, and we'll get a different spelling of the word on-screen in a future episode. However, the case remains that we do have on-screen material to go by at this point, and that outranks any third-party source. And only on Wikipedia could we endlessly debate the minutae of a testicle joke. ;-D Rob T Firefly 05:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, we know what's important in life :-D Anyway, given the other comments, I'd also go with the version used in the show itself. SGreenwell 10:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Very Long Plot Descriptions
I think we're going to run into a problem if this show goes any longer than one season. As it is, the "plot summary" section really isn't much of a summary, it's an episode-by-episode retelling. I think if we aren't proactive, the entire thing might get edited out one night. I think it might be worth it to do sort of what they have on the Family Guy page - They have a short summary of the show in the main article, then a link to another article that's just a list of each episode. I think the text that currently constitutes the "plot summary" section would look nicer if it was split off episode by episode. What say you? SGreenwell 13:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- You're right that the plot summary section is way out of hand. A link to a separate page for individual episodes is probably in order, but even then the individual episode summaries should not go into the depth that the summary currently does.Dekkanar 20:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
