[edit] References to Mickey and Donald

I removed references in the synopsis stating that the watermark showed Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. I think it was intended for the two animals to just be generic cartoon characters. Locdog 22:12, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I think that it was supposed to represent Mickey and Donald, but for obvious reasons, they didn't use the Disney characters. Micheal mentions/implies that they are famous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.204.108.8 (talk) 00:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshot Picture

Although I understand what that picture has to do with the episode, it's pretty crude ... I'm sure there's a better pic that can be used?

It basically is the topic of the whole episode and it is censored already so it is fine.

The topic of the episode is damage control, not the damage itself. And censored != fine. -- Raymondc0 12:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dunder Mifflin

I am going through several articles and changing instances of "Dunder-Mifflin" to "Dunder Mifflin" (no hyphen) as it is the proper "spelling" of the company name (see Talk page at Dunder Mifflin). Just leaving a note to say that I've gone through this page. :) Fieryrogue 17:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dingo Babies

I'm not so convinced to the reference when Kevin says "Alligator, dingo baby". I think a more plausible explanation is that Kevin is simply mimicking a stereotypical Australian nature show host's mannerisms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.192.234.18 (talk • contribs)

I agree. I have removed this reference for the time being. There is no unique connection to the Azaria incident; the former explaination is far more convincing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.96.7.12 (talk • contribs)

I disagree. Dingos eating babies are a stock Australian stereotype go-to for American television (and other media, too), right up there with crocodiles and shrimp on the barbie. Just look at the references in popular media section (or whatever it's called) in the Azaria Chamberlain article; 80% of them are from the US. They just can't get enough dingos eating babies. That said, I don't know that it's noteworthy enough to go into the article; I leave that up to you all. 138.69.160.1 15:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

There was no mention of dingos 'eating' babies, but rather "alligator, dingo baby", which again to me sounds a lot more like a mockery of the narration of nature shows, such as the ones Steve Irwin hosted. 18.96.7.12 07:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Product Recall Screen.jpg

Image:Product Recall Screen.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] inconsistancy

the sidebar which says that this episode is the 20th is not consistant with the first sentance saying that its the 21st episode. the episode is actually the 21st

Yeah, that's been an issue with all the episodes. Needs to be cleared up. If you can help, be WP:BOLD. Enigma ^msg! 15:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
