[edit] Stage productions

I'm disambiguating the film versions throughout en.wikipedia, but a good number of the wikilinks to this article are from bios of people concerned with the theatrical version(s), as opposed to the films. I think this may warrant a seperate article, but theatre is not my field. With this in mind.... SO PLS HELP THE ANIMALS

[edit] Built In Owensboro

I added this piece of information while showing the article to a friend, and noticing that Owensboro wasn't mentioned. I worked backstage during the production of this musical, and thought that the city it was built in, despite not being the "official" opening city, deserved a bit of mention. Here's an article about it. Here's an article about it. Tavaryn 02:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I don't think pushmi-pullyu should be merged. --MacRusgail 18:10, 22 July 2006 (UTC) SO PLS HELP ANIMALS

  • Support merge. Pushmi-pullyu is just a minor part of Doctor Dolittle. —EdGl
  • Support as well. Radagast83 03:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Tocharianne 23:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

(The following comment was on the talk page for Pushmi-pullyu so I moved it over here - Tocharianne)

  • I oppose the suggestion to merge the page. The pushme-pullyu is a fantastic creature in its own right, had a book and movie appearance, and deserves its own page. Some people browsing for such creatures (as I did just now) find it more convenient to have a separate entry, rather than having to scan some other page for a superficial reference. --Freederick 14:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose Comment, as it would make it hard to include in Category:Fictional species. As Freederick points out, there is a lot more information that could be added to the article still, namely it's actions, character, and appearance[1] in both major portayals (book series and film); It just needs an enthusiastic editor to research and reference, or someone who's read the series recently. —Quiddity 09:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Comment We can have categories for the Pushmi page and still redirect here. For instance the page on Mothula redirects to Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series but still shows up in Category:Fictional butterflies and moths (If you can believe we have such a category!).

That's a good point. Well, it can always be split out again if it gains sufficient material, so I guess merge away. —Quiddity 18:30, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Something needs to happen to the pushmi-pullyu section...it's not even in comprehensible English. PurpleChez (talk) 21:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tommy Stubbins

Among the humans, there should be some mention of Tommy Stubbins. He was the boy, son of a shoemaker, who met and traveled with the Doctor. He was introduced in The Voyages. That book and at least some of the others are written as if told by Tommy Stubbins in the first person, years later when he was supposedly a middle-aged man. 140.147.160.34 (talk) 17:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Doctor Dolittle Books.jpg

Image:Doctor Dolittle Books.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
