This article and Gremlin disagree over what Dahl called a widget. This article says they were baby gremlins, while that article says they were male gremlins. Which is correct? Carolina wren (talk) 19:38, 19 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Fifinella was not a female gremlin designed by Walt Disney for a proposed film from Roald Dahl's book The Gremlins. Fifinella was a baby gremlin, according to Roald Dahl - in his book The Gremlins. Disney then used the name for a female gremlin in a proposed film. The original term should be given in this article.101.98.169.98 (talk) 01:53, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Researching another topic, I found these: that might be of interest. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:48, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Excellent find, I would recommend uploading to the Wiki Commons. The copyright and licensing status:  https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth1030006/citation/?q=wasp%20dorothy#licenses-permissions
 * I suspect the original document was created by The Walt Disney Company and the copyright and licensing was then turned over to the United States Army/United States Army Air Corps or United States Army Air Force. -Signaleer (talk) 15:04, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * That copyright statement says the copyright has not been determined, and welcomes people to make fair use of it. That's not going to work for Commons, unfortunately.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:40, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Fifinella image is not correctly classified
The image, Fifinella, is listed as PD-USG on commons, but I do not believe that Walt Disney was acting as a US Government employee when he created the work, nor do contemporary or retrospective sources indicate that this is the case. I think the right procedure here is to re-upload the same image to Wikipedia as fair use, move pointers to the image to the new fair use one, then delete the commons image. I hope someone watching on this page has some input or interest in the subject, but if they don't this will serve as notice for what I intend to do. Protonk (talk) 17:15, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

I just noticed there is a discussion above on this issue, but the claim that the photograph of the image is public domain doesn't make the image public domain. Protonk (talk) 17:30, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
