this page, along with all of the other land before time character pages, i think should all be merged. the characters have no significance, other than in the movie, and let's face it folks, it's land before time. i think all the character can very well manage having bios on the one page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Laundromatgirl (talk • contribs)

Not a bad idea. Desire Campbell 142.68.168.57 22:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I find that idea absurd. Wikipedia is about finding information, and the Land Before Time series is popular with many people. Merging articles will give the readers the idea that any individuality in these characters and plots are pointless! I am strongly against this merging. Bowser Junior Nutt.

How a page with main, major, and minor characters? Some pictures, personalities, and role in the movies and the upcoming show, maybe? User:Kochdude388 1:03, November 8 2006 (UTC)

Done, at least started: List of The Land Before Time characters. Radagast83 22:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

We already have a page for the Minor characters, and the Major characters are too important to include in one article. The main character articles are important, unique, and, for that matter, long. It would take up a lot of cluttery space to put them all in one article. I think that the Main Character articles should remain as they are, or, even better, improved, have pictures and more facts added to them. Bowser Junior Nutt.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cera.JPG

Image:Cera.JPG 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.

[edit] Species:

What evidence is there to say that Cera is an Monoclonius? Also this article is self deafeating: Cera is adopted, but then she has a half-sister from her "adopted" father? Unless someone comes up with a good reason, I'm changing her species to "Triceratops". Clawandfang (talk) 22:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, now I've changed it and added references.Clawandfang (talk) 09:19, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

It was probably just a vandal's damage which changed that around. There's no plausibility that she is adopted, and all of the official material identifies Topsy as her father, and their species as Triceratops. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 21:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
