Talk:List of Monkey Island topics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is Monkey Combat written with a C or a K like Mortal Kombat?
K. It's a play on Mortal Kombat. In the game, a Mortal Kombat-style symbol, with a monkey istead of a dragon, is shown on screen. -- Supermorff 20:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

- Removed the last few sentences from the Big Whoop-section. Some Gilbert-loyalist attempted to claim that CMI and EfMI are not canon (HM)
i think big woop should have its own page
- The entry on Big Whoop is so small, that a lot of content should be added about it, if it is to have its own article. There's no point in having a seperate article on Big Whoop which will never be more than a few lines long. Poulsen 16:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article's name
The name of this article doesn't seem right. Mabye it should be renamed to something more professional sounding? bruce89 21:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- It probably should. Any suggestions? Shinobu 23:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yes I also agree. How about something along the lines "Monkey Island Glossary"? Then maybe we can start to put more stuff in, including more minor stuff. Kris 07:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hm... "Monkey Island glossary"... sounds much better than "Monkey Island things" (but note that the g shouldn't be a capital, as per MoS). Putting more stuff in sounds okay to me, but watch out for WP:CRUFT. Shinobu 06:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- I see your point...I wasn't aware of "fancruft". If it was written carefully enough, without insane fanatic waffle and just sticking to the facts, it might be OK. Regarding my proposed new title, glossaries tend to be quite concise, so perhaps that's not totally appropriate for the fairly bulky descriptive information this article requires. Another consideration as well is the large number of existing Monkey Island articles...got to be careful not to repeat stuff. Perhaps this article would be better split into the existing pages as extra information sections or something, although I do like the idea of a page for MI knick-knacks. It obviously just needs some consideration before anything is started. Kris 10:30, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Glossary also contains extended descriptions. Even if the descriptions here are a bit longer than is the norm for glossaries, I still think "glossary" beats "things" as an article title. Shinobu 17:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps some variation of "Monkey Island series concepts", as with Minor Discworld concepts? The page Wikipedia:Naming conventions might be worth a look. --Nick RTalk 00:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Had a look at the naming conventions, I couldn't see anything relating to this problem — may just have missed it — perhaps it would be worth bringing it up on the discussion page to see what people think. The Minor Discworld concepts page is broadly analogous, and a good point to bring up, however, things like "Sea Monkey" and "Rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle", which are more objects than concepts, would struggle to naturally come under this title. I know you said maybe a slight variation exists that would be appropriate Nick R, you may be right but it escapes me for now. I looked at some of the other glossaries and you're right Shinobu, they do seem to elaborate a little more than is standard. If the definitions that are already on this page could be pared down a little, and some more brief entries created for other minor things to split to larger definitions up, it might work as a glossary.

I moved the page to a new title and then had a look at this talk page to see this debate going on. Sorry if I might have been to bold. I've called the article "List of Monkey Island topics", but maybe concepts is a better name. mensch • t 13:27, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah that one probably gets my vote for now. Kris 15:27, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
