[edit] Only One of Each

If I recall correctly, one of the reasons Boner was a failed Noah, was that he had aboard only one of each species.

[edit] Typos A'Plenty Here

Good Lord, there's one in every line! What does "indepented" mean?

I think he meant "Independent". I've done some cleanup, but the character section is convoluted that I don't know what to do! Perhaps if someone who was familiar with the strip (and fluent in English!) could work on this, it might make more sense!HubcapD 01:00, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Also, I think were can remove the word "independent" from most of the lines. I get the feeling "Independed" meant "one"HubcapD 03:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit

In the spirit of being bold, I have done a major copyedit to:

• Reformat the article essentially into history of the strip, storyline, and major/minor characters;
• Group together all the "minor" characters instead of each having their own subheading;
• Remove the sentences which outline dindividual frames of specific cartoons - this was confusing and not that relevant for a strip that lasted 32 years; and
• fix the typos and grammar errors.

I think the new version is more readable while retaining all the key information. Any comments or opposition to the changes, please let me know. Euryalus 12:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion required

The cleanup process has had the side effect of paring down the article. In my view this was necessary, but it makes it painfully clear that an expansion is required to flesh out the characters and provide more history about the artists and where the series was published.

Any assistance on this would be appreciated. Euryalus 00:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Boner's Ark (2).gif

Image:Boner's Ark (2).gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
