[edit] Croppy

How is this "badly sourced"? Two references were given (which, I might note, is 2 more references than those given to such "notable" ducks as Mr. Fredward's Duck or "Zero a duck in Ozamu Tezuka), one is the actual episode in which the duck appears, the other a clear reference to it from TV.com, a website of cnet networks. What was deleted in the AfD was an article dedicated to this duck - it might not warrant a separate article on WP (like several others on this list), but that not a reason to exclude it from a "list of fictional ducks".

Those sources are inappropriate. He is merely mentioned in the first one in the "quotes" and "trivia" sections (neither suggest he is notable--and that's on a page dedicated to the very episode he is from). The second source is a search function for Nickelodeon; it says nothing, other than "delete me". Please find more adequate sources, or remove the duck from the list. · AndonicO Talk 21:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Never mind, the second source is okay (the page hadn't loaded correctly the first time). However, it does not prove the notability of Croppy. Please find more sources. · AndonicO Talk 21:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Protection

Okay, that's enough. I've protected this page for seven days, as there's been an ongoing slow-motion edit war for at least three months. Recently the edit warring has been accompanied by accusations of vandalism and sockpuppetry from several parties.

Have an RfC or find some other way to sort out what is becoming a candidate for WP:LAME. If there have been any genuine acts of vandalism or sockpuppetry, report them on WP:AN/I or WP:RFCU with supporting diffs. The use of sockpuppets in an edit war will be dealt with harshly.

Further incivility – including unsubstantiated accusations – on this talk page, on user talk pages, or in edit summaries – is apt to draw sanctions. Act like adults or find something else to do. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 15:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
