Talk:Little People

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Images?

I think a photograph would be a great addition to this entry. Even with the text description, Little People would be instantly recognizable with an added image. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navstar (talk • contribs).

Something like Image:FP Little People with US quarters.jpg? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 20:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources?

Someone (or some bots) have gone crazy for sources (on a ton of pages for Authors, toys, toy companies, etc). How do you have a "Source" for or have an official "Reference" for a toy, a book, a toy company? Antmusic 23:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:V. Where did you find each piece of information that you added to the article? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 06:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I usually add things that are in my personal collection... do I say, "per box in my collection" ???

No original research please. Are there collectors' guides that you can cite, either in print or on the web? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 18:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

One of the "Sources" thing says that has to be "other then websites." Looking at original Fisher Price boxes and manuals wouldn't be original research, it is on a published box and manual direct from the manufacturer (I am sure there is a published master list, but I have no idea where Fisher Price keeps it or if the public has access to it). There are a ton of articles on here that have information that isn't published though. By the way, what is the point of a community Encyclopedia where anyone can add information (especially on brand new things that have never been written about before), if you have to only add information that is already available? That makes this sound like they only accept semi-plagiarized articles (previously published only?), but we will get away with saying that it is not plagarism by using "quotes" or re-wording it (which can really mess with the accuracy). That doesn't seem right. I know that accuracy is very important, but I have read some pretty inaccurate articles in magazines, books, and online (and I see those get requoted and have to wince). Oh well. Rules are rules.
