Talk:The Golden Age of American animation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this the proper name of something? Why is it capitalized with a secondary title? A more natural and naming convention compliant title would be The golden age of Hollywood animation. --mav

I just thought it would make a good title - "Hollywood Animation." It was suggested in the animation talk page that the name "History of Animation Part 1" (and 2, 3, 4) was inappropriate because the articles so far dealt primarily with American animation. -- Modemac

As some important studios of this era like Fleischer were still located on the east coast a continent away from Hollywood, I suggest moving this to something like "US animation". -- Infrogmation 18:15, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

There seems to be a contradiction between this page and Animated cartoon. The latter says "The first cartoon with synchronized sound is often identified as Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie, starring Mickey Mouse in 1928, but Max Fleischer's 1926 My Old Kentucky Home is less popularly but more correctly credited with this innovation." This page only gives Steamboat Willie as the first.-Insanity Incarnate 17:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

No one's arguing. I'll go ahead and make the edit. Insanity Incarnate 05:49, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

This entire article is filled with biased language ("tremendous impact" and such), opinions, and other NPOV violations. Needs to be revised from top to bottom. --FuriousFreddy 06:54, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "as well"?

Why do every other sentence in the article (expecially those with a reference at the end) end with the phrase "as well" or "also"? The placement of these phrases into the sentences often makes no sense at all, and just makes the text confusing to read and oddly looking. Could someone please fix this?Rattis1 (talk) 15:37, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TomandJerryTitleCard2.jpg

Image:TomandJerryTitleCard2.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.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Der Fuehrer's Face.jpg

The image Image:Der Fuehrer's Face.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.
