[edit] Bias

I marked this article with the bias template because of the first two sentences in the final paragraph of the first section:

As for DuckTales itself, it was last seen on Toon Disney, Disney's (so-called) all-toon network. Due to bad scheduling and the addition of JETIX, it has vanished completely off the network.

These seem biased to me, but I also think some folks may not think so. I'm basically looking for a consensus here. Fredo 21:37, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

A rewrite would be good. Maybe: "DuckTales was last seen on Toon Disney, a Disney-owned network that airs mostly animated cartoons. After the addition of JETIX, the show left circulation, and as of 2005, it is not airing." BrianSmithson 22:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

I'd vote for a removal or rewrite of that entire paragraph, since it only applies to (and makes sense to) American readers. -- Bob, 20:18, 25 juli 2006 (EST)

[edit] Characters

I added links to the family trees that were on the Hortense Duck page for clarification of the characters. A list of characters that appear in the show, or at least those that appear in the page's accompanying picture, would be most helpful if anyone has the time & knowledge.128.252.107.73 22:04, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

How many languages are we going to put in the Foreign Translations and The Internet section? It seems like somebody's adding a new one every now and then. – Iggy Koopa 23:01, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Animation Studio on DuckTales.

I noticed that the wikipedia entry does not mention the animation studio that was involved. If I remember clearly, it was TMS Entertainment. Anyone here know for sure?

[edit] Lyrics

How about someone posting the lyrics to the theme? 71.250.51.234 19:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

The show and the theme song are still under copyright, so those lyrics would be illegal for us to post. — BrianSmithson 03:37, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Premiere

The article says the pilot episode premiered on the 11th September 1987...but this UK ITV listing from the 7th [1] clearly features it as part of the CiTV lineup. Did it premiere in the UK first, or something? Billy H 07:46, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DuckTales episodes

umm, why is the DuckTales episodes page deleted?

[edit] Russian

Did the Russian version contain a badly acted dub over the original English speech, as the Russians are infamous for always doing? 惑乱分からん 22:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it wasn't. I have been watching Утиные истории for a long time and made some VHS recordings. Brand 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Definitely not. Low-quality dubs were typical for "garage translations" ( which, unfortunately, constituted 90% of Western content available in Russia during Perestroyka. ) All content purchased by/for the state TV was always properly dubbed. --Itinerant1 22:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Number One Dime

This article states that the number one dime was not a luck charm in the comics. In fact, it is clearly said to be a good luck charm for Scrooge on numerous occasions. In "Getting that healthy, wealthy feeling" in Uncle Scrooge #50, for example, the entire plot hinges upon Scrooge touching the dime in order to reverse his recent luck.

[edit] I think DuckTales in other languages should be removed.

Resolved.

Most articles about American cartoons dubbed into other languages don't have sections like that. I will take the famous cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants for example. There is not a single section like that one. This is the English wikipedia, not the Swedish, Japanese, German or the French Wikipedia. I think we should remove this section. But the reason why I'm disscussing it first is because I don't want edit wars. So I'm gonna make sure someone agrees with me before I delete. TheBlazikenMaster 18:23, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thirteen days, and no disscussion. That means nobody cares. That also means that I've no choice but bring it to attention to some WikiProject. And I know Disney is the perfect one. TheBlazikenMaster 21:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

There you go. I've deleted it. There's no reason it should be there...at all. If there are articles on other language Wikipedias, they should be linked to correctly at the bottom. There should never just be a random list of random languages like that. --pIrish ^Arr! 21:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the reason why I wanted to disscuss because I wasn't 100% sure. I think I'll add the resolved tag to the Disney Project page as well. TheBlazikenMaster 21:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I also took out the long list of languages it's been translated to. That was beyond excessive. There should only be a few, probably around five maximum, if any at all. However, I think the phrase as I left it gets the point across just fine. --pIrish ^Arr! 22:03, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree with the removal, such lists are totally pointless. For some reason they are often (if not always) found on Disney related articles. I recently removed 20 different spellings or so of Pinocchio in Pinocchio (1940 film). Garion96 (talk) 22:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I know this is off-topic, but I wouldn't call several months recently. Even though it's the same year. TheBlazikenMaster 22:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Lol, I first wrote another example, but later changed it to Pinoccio because that one was so ridiculous. (there was barely any difference in the names there) Originally I was going to say Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Garion96 (talk) 05:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VHS releases

[edit] Japanese Dub

Presumably, this show was dubbed for Japanese audiences. The dub cast is not listed on the Japanese page for DuckTales. Does anyone know where to find the Japanese voice cast? ChibiKareshi 13:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

You should ask that question on the Japanese Wikipedia, not here. If you have problems reading Japanese, get the right front, and use translation programs like Google Translate. TheBlazikenMaster 16:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The episodes (If you're watching this page, please read.)

Does each episode REALLY needs its own article? A lot of animated series don't have their own article. I have two volumes, and my DVDs have no commentary, furthermore, some of the trivia or cultural references don't have source. I tagged Time Teasers, and tomorrow I will probably add more tags to other articles, the only real reference I'm aware of is William Shakespear (in Much Ado About Scrooge, then there was a lost play that sucked) in one of the episodes, even then, I don't think it's a real reference to anything.

I seriously think we need to clean up all these episode articles, and possibly merge them, I will bring this to attention on the WikiProject Disney if this gets totally ignored here. TheBlazikenMaster 22:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you. The way they are looking now is not good enough. They need "Concept and creation", "Reception" and sources in order to survive a merger. The "Trivia" sections must also be removed. The Prince of Darkness 23:14, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I see you added a tag to the movie, well done. Soon I have to go to work, when I get back home from work I will add more tags to the episodes. I will just use the {{cleanup}} tag as that will be quicker than adding both the plot AND the trivia tag to the same article. TheBlazikenMaster 07:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey! I'm at work now and there isn't much to do, so I will just tag all the articles. Hell, there might even be enough time to bring this to attention on all the WikiProjects this talkpage has. TheBlazikenMaster 08:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, there was more than enough time to clean up, there is also enough time to get this to attention to WikiProjects.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO MERGERS: When you merge articles with headnotes, that don't have (DuckTales) or (DuckTales episode) (like Send in the Clones) change the redirect to the pointed article. TheBlazikenMaster 22:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CS:S

in the map de_westwood_07 or something, the title track for this plays... just a lil trivia. --Frvwfr2 04:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
