Talk:Princess Fiona

rewording
This could be reworded a bit better...

This article looks like it was written by an 8 year old Human/Ogress/Frog (Thrue her Father). It needs re-writing badly.81.86.51.84 23:03, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Bird Calls in Shrek the Third
Is it worth mentioning that in Shrek the Third she is good at bird calls?

Nope. 76.186.85.225 (talk) 18:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Dragon's Keep redirect
Dragon's Keep currently redirects here, but is also the title of a 1982 game from Sierra. I don't think the game is mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia, but the redirect might be worth reviewing in case someone wants to add it someday. 118.210.80.102 (talk) 08:16, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Meanwhile there's a space reserved for it on the list at List of Sierra Entertainment video games 14.2.29.166 (talk) 13:24, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Princess Fiona's curse references the female menstrual cycle?
Is there any truth to the question that Princess Fiona's curse is a reference to the female menstrual cycle? Curious to know if there has been any other discussion on this. It's curious that her character's personality changes, she becomes ashamed of the change, and needs to keep it a secret from those around her. No intent to pose an inappropriate question or argument here, but it seems to be a curious thought.

Singing voice.
Do you have a reliable source for Holly Fields? Yes, she is Fiona in the video games but the end credits to the bonus features don't list her. Sally Dworsky was her singing voice in the original movie and the Karaoke in the Swamp bonus feature. Renee Sandstrom is listed twice in "Far Away Away Idol"s end credits. 67.45.112.14 (talk) 19:04, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Princess Fiona → Fiona (Shrek) – She is more commonly known just as Fiona rather than by Princess Fiona. Interstellarity (talk) 00:37, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Changing my !vote. See below. --В²C ☎ 04:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - the term "Princess Fiona" may become ambiguous in the future, though I am unaware of any others in existence yet. Also to match the titles of Donkey (Shrek) and Puss in Boots (Shrek), two of the four main characters in the Shrek franchise. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 16:50, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, forget that. I've looked at the first three film credits, having reviewed them, I recognise in all three situations she has been credited as "Princess Fiona". Therefore, like Born2cycle, I have also switched to oppose as well. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:09, 31 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose: In games, Peach is more commonly used than Princess Peach, but the article isn’t called Peach (character). 109.78.145.240 (talk) 16:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * what does this have to do with this move?—blindlynx 18:15, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * blindlynx - are you being sarcastic, or can you genuinely not see the analogy? Anyway, the comparison is broadly covered by WP:OTHER, even though that's specifically for deletion discussion, not page moves.  However, I'd go with Oppose as in all four Shrek films, Scared Shrekless and Shrek the Halls, she is credited as "Princess Fiona" throughout.  This suggests that regardless of her physical appearance, she is Princess Fiona, not just Fiona.  In that respect the IP's comment is valid, and seems to be true for this article as well as others.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 18:27, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * that says: The nature of Wikipedia means that you cannot make a convincing argument based solely on whether other articles do or do not exist so i don't really see why it matters here. Thank you for clarifying though—blindlynx 18:43, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * To clarify the clarification (!) I'll point out that I'm against using OTHER as an argument, and have many times used exactly that point - that if the only argument for inclusion/etc is because other articles do it, then it's a poor argument. I'm not supporting the IP in that respect, but I am opposing the change based on the credits for each instalment that list her as "Princess Fiona", not "Fiona".  According to Dreamworks, she's called "Princess Fiona", even in the subsequent features where her royalty is not a key part of the plot.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 19:58, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I follow. I did assumed you were the ip though, sorry20:30, 28 May 2023 (UTC) —blindlynx 20:30, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose. For titles, we use the topic's WP:COMMONNAME, not the formal or WP:OFFICIAL name. That said, I checked Roger Ebert's review of the film, and he went with Princess Fiona. Due to the absence of evidence of the claim that in RS the common name is Fiona, I'm changing from support to oppose. --В²C ☎ 04:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Unlike Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots, Fiona is one of the few characters from the main Shrek franchise who can easily be named and identified without parenthesis, in addition to the fact that she is officially credited as "Princess Fiona" in all Shrek media. Parentheses are not used for the other characters for the sake of naming consistency, but rather to clarify and distinguish them from other articles (Shrek is the title character who shares his name with the first film, as well as an entire media franchise; donkey is the name of a common animal, and Puss in Boots was already an established fairy tale character prior to Shrek), none of which applies to Fiona. Another example of a character from within the Shrek universe would be Lord Farquaad; although his name is obviously Farquaad and characters refer to him as such throughout the films, it would be simply redundant to name his article "Farquaad (Shrek)" when Lord Farquaad is available.
 * If one were to look up the character on the internet, they are much more likely to search "Princess Fiona" than "Fiona" or "Fiona from Shrek", the same way one would more likely search "Princess Peach" instead of "Peach from Mario", or "Princess Leia" instead of "Leia from Star Wars".
