Talk:Clover (creature)

Large Scale Aggressor
On the Cloverfield Special Investigation Mode of the BlueRay disk for Cloverfield the monster is called the "Large Scale Aggressor," or, "LSA" for short. That should probably be the name for this article. -- Is this fact ... ?  02:43, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that this is "probably" right conclusion. Although you have a reliable source where it is refered to as such, "Clover" does as well. I think "Clover" is preferred according to WP:COMMON WP:COMMONNAME and remains that way until the creature is commonly referred to as "Large Scale Aggressor".  Further, I believe "Large Scale Aggressor" is a generic term, and in this fictional universe, it could be used to refer to any large scale aggressor. -Verdatum (talk) 17:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Special Investigation Mode
I'm really new to anything Wikipedia-related besides reading the articles, so this may be a stupid post. I just post this because I'm not too sure on how to edit a page and make the information I have fit into the article well. Anyway, on the special investigation mode of the recent Blu-Ray release of Cloverfield, a lot of information is given regarding the creature and the parasites, such as size, origins, and biology. I'm going to try to incorporate as much of the relevant information as I can, but I hope a more experienced editor can maybe clean it up some once I finish, or add anything I missed. 70.57.253.164 (talk) 09:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Edited to say, I can't edit this article. My account is only a day old, and I don't remember my login anyway. A link to the Special Investigation transcript is here: for anybody willing to do the edits to make the article more informative.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.57.253.164 (talk) 09:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

This GAN has passed, and this is now a good article! If you found this review helpful, please consider helping out a fellow editor by reviewing another good article nomination. Help and advice on how to do so is available at Reviewing good articles, and you can ask for the help of a GAN mentor, if you wish.

Hasbro Stopping Cloverfield Toy Production

Clover as name of creature
The term's use is extremely limited... used only as a nickname among the production staff. The context of the movie dose not name the creature. Using the term is very casual, inside and fan geek. WP:JARGON applies here. We should not use the "nickname" casually throughout the article. Noting the nickname in the first paragraph, or in the context of production is sufficient. --Knulclunk (talk) 13:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Going by your reasoning, it's not valid that the article is named "Clover", to which I'm not sure I disagree. Perhaps it should be called "Cloverfield creature" or something along those lines. --uKER (talk) 15:09, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * That was a debate shortly after the movie came out, see the archives. We should not allow the article's current, compromised title lead us to poor editorial prose. "Clover" is fine in the context of a production element, but not as a plot or character element.--Knulclunk (talk) 15:21, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for discussing as I requested, Knulclunk. Now that I see your reasoning, I don't have any problem with this.  As you said, it can continue to be called "Clover" in context of production and design.  And even though it doesn't end up affecting the wording of the current revision, I seem to recall that the packaging for the Hasbro toy referred to the toy as "Clover" (can't confirm, don't really care too much). -Verdatum (talk) 17:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's a receipt some guy got when buying him, and it refers to it as "Cloverfield movie monster". --uKER (talk) 18:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Clarification on edits
I just wanted to go on record to say that I intended to undo the doings of a previous editor who blanked the article turning it into a redirect, and I actually did, only to later accidentally undo myself, redoing the changes I intended to revert. Sorry about that. --uKER (talk) 15:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Clover's Amphibious Nature
I'm going to remove "[NOTE:THE MONSTER IS NOT AMPHIBIOUS]" from the creature design section. It doesn't stylistically fit. The first sentence after this, the "note" is contradicted. Pizzini3000 (talk) 05:13, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
