[edit] Copyvio

Looks like this was taken from a web page, not wikified in any way, probably copyright, includes ad copy. Ortolan88

Yup, it's a copyright violation alright... http://www.citipets.com/2_article8.cfm
Could some wikicop do the copyright violation honors to this article? Ortolan88
Anyone can add a copyright violation notice. I'd do it, but I can't access the aforementioned page. WP:CP explains how to do it, for future reference. Stephen Compall 16:50, 13 May 2005 (UTC)


..it´s not an actor, it´s a character (consuming several dogs)

[edit] My edits to the page

Birth/death dates fmted per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Dates_of_birth_and_death; the birth & death places are usually included in text in the article. Also if the dog was "found", I question the actual birth date--hence added "c.". Added back the partial list of films because it's interesting & relevant; although maybe should be a separate section at end of article listing all of his films. Elf | Talk 21:02, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Done, just 10 months after you asked for it ;) Proto 09:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Cool, that's about my speed, too. :-) Elf | Talk 05:32, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The bit about Rin Tin Tin III seemed to be nonsense, however creative. If this can be confirmed, feel free to add it back. Stephen Compall 16:48, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cartoon?

Wasn't there a Rin Tin Tin cartoon at one point? However, in the series I'm thinking of, the dog was very small, and went on adventures with a young boy.

Maybe you're thinking of the Belgian comic Tintin about a boy who went on adventures. He had a little white dog.

[edit] Bloodline

The Rin Tin Tin Kennels website claims that "Jr." and "II" were both sired by the original. And that "IV" was sired by "II". Until someone comes up with a source that says otherwise, I've taken out the claim that the subsequent dogs are not decended form the original.

They also say that the "Jr" that appeared on TV was not "Rin Tin Tin Jr." but another dog. The makes sense as RTT Jr would have been over twnety years old when the TV show was recorded. cdixon 76.183.29.230 23:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested image

There's an image of Rintintin's grave on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/26022927@N00/37160552/. If we can legally add this to the article I think it would add a nice touch. Off2Explore 22:54, 16 Apr 2007 (UTC)
