Can I join? I love watching Disney Channel.--Peace, Cute 1 4 u  18:43, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes sure, because Disney is so big, I can't really handle the whole thing. That's why I'm planning to make branch out projects like Wikiproject Disney Channel. Anyway, if you've added your name to the proposed wikiprojects list, then your in! Julz

Launching of the WikiProject Disney
I think you can start the project already since more than ten people signed on the proposal you made. -- ユージェイ 03:04, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

There is a mistake on the page, Walt didn't attend the Chicago Art Institute, instead he attended the Chicago Accademy of Fine Arts under Ruth VanSickle Ford, that by the way was the oldes cartoon school in the US until the 1970's when it closed its doors. -- Hope you change it as is a becoming a fact due to so many publications making the mistake.

Attractions template
Here is the final version of the template: Template:Infobox Disney attraction. Please discuss on the talk page. -- blm07 21:33, 23 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It has been suggested that this be merged with other Disney attraction templates, specifically . Bytebear 00:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * After a looking around at various things, it appears people are supposed to have their template approved before being used. We have to come up with a template that everyone agrees on and submit it to List of infoboxes/Proposed. That way, it will become the official infobox for this project, and if someone wanted to change it they have to discuss it here. -- blm07 01:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I think thats a great idea. I linked to the yet to be created template  as a way to create a template that will not stomp on the already used templates, but if you think we should set up a sandbox first, that's alright with me. Bytebear 01:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you think it should be called Disney ride? This template is going to be used on more than rides (3D films, films, live shows) right? The name is probably a minor thing, but that is why I ended up using Disney attraction. -- blm07 01:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No I think it should be called "Infobox Disney attraction" but since that is in use, we can call it "Infobox Disney ride" until we have all the pages using the "attraction" box removed (er.. replaced with the new infobox), and then rename it. I also looked at the List of Templates page and it's pretty out of date.  I say we just get started. Bytebear 01:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I have created a new template for Disney attractions at. Please review and tell me where it can be improved. Here are some issues:
 * acres should also have formula to do square meters.
 * columns of data is not lined up between boxes (minor issue)
 * instructions and standards for the values need to be defined
 * spacing when no icons are visible needs to be fixed
 * Additional values may be needed

Wow, I was skeptical at first, but I have to admit it is impressive. The ONLY thing I am worried about right now is how much room it takes up, it might not be possible to make it shorter. I really hate when templates take up most of the right side of the article, forcing pictures to the left and making the article annoying to read. For "Ride duration" you might want to change to "Ride duration (approx)" since they never have the same exact time twice. Also, you don't need underlines anywhere. -- blm07 09:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the compliment. I am less concerned about the length of the box for the attraction details, as I chose Big Thunder because it will likely be our worst case.  Most attractions should be much shorter.  I do worry about the Disneyland infobox (or other park) that lists every attraction in the park taking up the whole article.  That infobox could be better served as a full width box similar to the categories box.  I am also thinking of changing the style a bit.   We may want to split up the template into two parts (attraction main details, and park specific details) with the latter template inside the former. Bytebear 17:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've mentioned the length of that Disneyland template at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disneyland. -- blm07 18:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, just saw the one you added to Spaceship Earth, and it looks real nice. It looks like you cleaned it up and gave a background color to the left column text, it looks much better than it did yesterday. The sponsors work out great as well, having the years next to each is something I was wondering about. There are some odd facts in Spaceship Earth's attraction facts section such as Diameter, Circumference, Volume, Weight etc, how do you think those figures should be handled? -- blm07 21:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * There are many unusual facts about it, on the History Channel program about Disney World construction they mention that it had to be tested by engineers from one of the universities in California to avoid creating a wind tunnel effect under it. Also the drainage gutter system contained inside that drains rainwater into the lagoon, so people below will not get wet.  One thing I wonder, but have not been there it the height of the wand that Mickey has with the added EPCOT sign.  Spaceship Earth is 180ft. tall, under height requiring red light or strobe light as is the castle in the Magic Kingdom.  But, the wand looks like it may be taller and have a stobe light at it's top, which would fit in EPCOT.  Anyone know if there is?  kidsheaven 23:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The height of the sphere and the height of the wand are both listed in the infobox. There are 8 generic labels that can be used for special information, like diameter, etc.  I have replaced about 20 pages with the new infobox.  Check them out.  The list of pages is at Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Infobox_Disney_ride. Bytebear 00:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Can I assume from the above that List of infoboxes/Proposed and List of infoboxes/Proposed are nolonger required and may be removed from teh infobox proposal page? David Ruben Talk 00:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Make a Portal?
Of all the subjects on Wikipedia, I'm surprised that Disney hasn't gotten its own portal, considering how many individual franchises have gained them. I assume that this will be a later project within the WikiProject, right? FigmentJedi 04:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It could, but it requires extreme dedication to keep it live and current.  bibliomaniac 1  5  05:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Donald
The people over at Donald Duck's page and I have been have a little bit of banter over a Kingdom Hearts Section. I approve of it. They Don't. I point to the other major characters having KH sections while minor Characters get a sentence or two explaining what they did. Donald, under the way the have it, is getting the treatment of a minor character. They claim it is not relevant and should stay within the KH area. I respond that we have no place for it their. Please help us reach an agreement we will all be happy with. Lego3400: The Sage of Time 03:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Frankly, there is way too much KH information in nearly every Disney article. A brief mention at best is appropriate.  Donald, however, is one of the main characters in the series; if any Disney topic deserves a large Kingdom Hearts section, it's him (plus Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Maleficent).

Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Disney poster fair use
Someone tagged one of the poster images that I upload with the no fair use rationale template. He told me that all the posters in Category:Disney Theme Park posters should have a rationale. The link he gave did not help me, and I don't know what would be the best for this situation. This may become a problem in the future. -- blm07 00:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair use rationale guideline should explain what is needed. Assuming each poster appears in (and, generally, only in) the article for the poster's featured attraction (for example, Image:Adventure Thru Inner Space Poster.png on the article Adventure Through Inner Space), the fair use rationale should look something like this:
 * Disney theme park poster for _____
 * Fair use rationale: This image is of the official theme park attraction poster for the Disney attraction ____. It is used to identify and illustrate the attraction in the article _____.  It is low resolution, and no free equivalent can be created, as it is an official poster.
 * Something like that. Powers T 02:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I've added the fair use statement to many of the posters. It seems the very template the guy is using to tag these posters with the no fair use rationale is supposed to notify users of each infraction, and I haven't seen a single warning on user talk pages. -- blm07 03:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Meanwhile, the poster for Carousel of Progress has been deleted by OrphanBot. It seems that the task has some added urgency at this point. I will probably upload a different photo as a stopgap, but it won't be as appropriate. Karen | Talk | contribs 13:20, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, now that I look I see that none of my images will serve even as a temporary measure. Sorry. Karen | Talk | contribs 13:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, curiouser and curiouser. Image:Carousel of Progress Poster.jpg has not been deleted, except frm the article. The claim is that it has no source information, but the image page has the right source listed and a detailed fair use rationale.  I don't see how it can possibly be made any plainer. Karen | Talk | contribs 13:36, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't actually see any source information. Where did you get the image?  Did you scan it in from a paper copy?  Powers T 02:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Isn't it fair to say that the source is the attraction poster? I didn't upload this (or any of these), but surely that's strongly implied in the verbiage.  It seems to me that these small, low-res versions of the posters either are or are not legitimate fair use across the board for this one specific purpose (illustrating the relevant attraction), regardless of whether they were scanned from a physical poster or found on the Disney site or wherever. They are copyrighted Disney images, regardless. Karen | Talk | contribs 09:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that's not the point. Our image use guidelines still require a source to be recorded.  This is for credit purposes; it may not matter for fair use purposes who scanned in the images, but as a free encyclopedia, we try to give credit where credit is due.  "The Attraction Poster" is not a specific-enough source; since these are electronic images, someone had to do something to capture the image electronically, probably via scanner.  Powers T 16:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

In this case, the uploader was notified, I'm guessing they found it on a website and uploaded it here. I agree, in this case it probably doesn't matter where it came from since it was probably copied a million times and originally from an official Disney source. -- blm07 10:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

catégories
I have done a extensive reorganisation of the wide "generic" Category:Disney parks and attractions. --Gdgourou 10:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I would like to see additional categories for attraction types. Specifically Omnimover attractions, Interactive Theater, etc. Bytebear 20:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes it's a good idea, perhaps it could be done with the use of the info ride box ?--Gdgourou 07:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Split Port Orleans Resort pages?
(myunknownside000) I think that the Port Orleans Page should be split into 2 pages for the simple reason that they are 2 different resorts. Myunknownside000 17:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No. They were two different pages/resorts, but when the resorts merged into one Port Orleans entity, the associated pages were merged as well.  For an example that should probably be merged into the main article anyway, see Disney's Dixie Landings Resort SpikeJones 19:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Main Page
The Walt Disney Company page is really a very dissapointing article at the moment, considering its importance. There are too many lists and the informations seems in parts sporadic and incomprehensive. It will need a lot of work, and really must be the top priority of this WikiProject at the moment S Newton 15:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Template for Disney World Resort
Hi all, I created a template for the Disney World Resort based on Template:DLR. I have it on a temporary page here and would like to get some feedback before I move it to its own page and use it as a template. I left this message at Wikiproject Disney World, but it seems that project hasn't seen much activity lately so I just wanted to try here. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks. Phydend 01:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * DWR: I think it would be fine on each park's page, but I'm opposed to having it in each attraction's article. The new infobox design already takes up much of the right side, see Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D, the infoboxes already take up nearly the entire right side. BTW it's Walt Disney World Resort, your template goes through a redirect when you click the top link. MGM: The template would probably be fine at the bottom of the page, if you look on the MuppetVision article, it would probably look fine in between the Muppet and DCA templates. -- blm07 19:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I definitely don't want the DWR template on all attraction articles. Only on the Walt Disney World Resort page and others like it, kinda like the pages that the Disneyland Resort Template are on (here).  I'm going to work on the MGM template some more before adding it to the list of templates to use.  Thanks for the feedback (I fixed the link so it doesn't redirect anymore also).  Phydend 00:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Color Schemes for the Parks
It was just brought to my attention that there should be a uniform color scheme for each of the resorts and their pages. For example, Template:DLR is blue as is the ride template Template:Disneyland2 (they are actually different shades, but that can be fixed), however the infobox at the top of the Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure pages are both yellow, as is Template:DCA for California Adventure rides. When I made Template:DWR I made it green rather arbitrarily, but because it was green the infoboxes for the pages of the Walt Disney World Resort were all changed to green. The same is true for Disneyland Paris resort, as Template:DLRP is purple, so their infoboxes are purple. I think there needs to be a consensus. Should all 5 resorts have different color schemes to set them apart? And if so should the attraction templates have the same color schemes as the resorts? Also, how should the attraction infoboxes work, they are all light blue now, should they stay that way or be changed to the color of the resort where they reside (and if that then what about attractions at multiple resorts)? Just wondering everyone's opinion. In my opinion, the pages will look better if they are all uniform, but we'll have to decide. (Sorry for the long message) Phydend 16:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think uniformity would be nice, and it would make navigation clearer. I also like the idea of implementing the colors into the attraction infoboxes, although I have no idea if that could technically work. SergioGeorgini 20:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The infoboxes can match. There is an effort to replace the old infobox: Attractions using the infobox Template:Infobox_Disney_attraction need to be converted to using the Template:Infobox_Disney_ride.  see the list of attractions using the old template.  I believe the idea on the blue was to match the Dreams promotion, and the yellow was probably a left over from the 50th celebration. Bytebear 23:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:Fantasmic!
Hi, what is the opinion here about this template? The show does not seem enough to warrant this template on every article about characters who appear in the show.

Dedication section at the top of park pages
I made a comment about the confusing practice of giving such a prominent spot to the dedication of a park in it's article. Most of the park articles have a quote from the dedication ceremony directly after the lead paragraph, making the article look like a bit of Disney propaganda. While what Walt Disney said about Disneyland is interesting and relevant, it still could find a better spot further on down the article. Anyway, you can head over to Talk:Disney's California Adventure for discussion. Cheers, &#10154; Hi DrNick ! 06:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I need someone to have their opinion right here.
Nobody seems to care about DuckTales. At least very few. But I don't think it's good idea to have a language section on DuckTales article. 13 days is more than reasonable waiting time. So I thought I should bring this to attention to Disney fans. Please disscuss this on the talk page. NOTE: I'm not a member on this project, and I won't come back to this disscusion page to responde, instead I will responde on the right talk-page. If this isn't the right way to bring the discussion to attention, please correct me through my talkpage, thank you. TheBlazikenMaster 21:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts development
Hello, myself and some other editors have been working on getting the Kingdom Hearts video game article to Featured Article status. For those of you who may not know, Kingdom Hearts was a collaborative effort between Disney and Square Enix. Unfortunately, we've hit a bit of a road block with the "Development" section. Does anybody with this project know of any resources to help us find information regarding the development of the game? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. (Guyinblack25 16:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC))

Attraction technical details
While reviewing the content of many (but not all) attractions, they appear to have a significant amount of technical details, specifications, etc., about them. This really detracts from the articles and appears to be almost WP:Trivia in nature. I believe we need some input on this area and see what options are available to clean this up. One idea would be to make an infobox for this portion of the article. And in either case, we need to significantly reduce the information presented in each article. An external link to another website with the specific details would probably be more appropriate for the fine details. Tiggerjay 06:13, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you talking abou the details in the infobox, or in the article itself? Bytebear 07:59, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry I was not clear... I am talking about the article itself... And suggest that we may want to make some form of an infobox to hold such details. :) Tiggerjay 03:23, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That is an excllent idea. and it was why the info box was expanded to hold such details. There are many pages that have a "Ride Specifications" section that should be moved to the in fo box.  This will make the articles more clear and the info boxes more useful.  I would say, add it to the task list. Bytebear 03:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I think what you are asking is already done here Template:Infobox Disney ride, it isn't used on all articles yet. I still think the infobox should only have basic info though. -- blm07 11:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is the standard infobox. and it should be used on every article about an attraction, show or ride. It should be noted that although it has a lot of extra info, you don't have to use every single entry. Bytebear 04:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, that looks like that may be the ticket :) Let me look into it closer, and then I'll probably start integrating it into the attractions. As a result, I bet that I'll probably make some tweeks to the Infobox -- smartly however... Tiggerjay 19:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Andy Stidwill
In the page on the Imagination! Pavilion, it says that the name was changed from Journey Into Imagination Pavilion in the mid-90s. I think this is not correct - I visited the park in 1993, 1995, 1997, and July 1999 and the pavilion was still called "Journey Into Imagination". Therefore, I'm going to assume the new name was initiated at the end of 1999 when the new ride opened.

Tia Dalma
since Pirates is under this project...I'm looking for help re-writing the lead to Tia Dalma to not reveal the spoilers (because I don't feel spoilers in the lead are needed, not when someone could be looking her up for info from the first or second film and suddenly have the third spoiled) but not be "teasing" (as per WP:LEAD).

Who Created Mickey?
There seems to be an effort in the Ub Iwerks article to claim that Iwerks was the sole creator of Mickey Mouse, based on a single biography as a reference.

I'm not sure I can find my Disney biographies right now, and it would be better to have more eyes on this to get sufficient sourcing and NPOV.

Problem at the High School Musical 2 and related articles
Just wanted to bring this to the attention of the WikiProject Disney community.

There seems to have been some trouble over the last few months claiming (mostly from IP addresses) that there will be a new character named Emma Bolton (presumably Troy Bolton's sister) who is supposed to be a love interest for Ryan Evans. Variants on this thing included the name "Tallulah" (on earlier edits), and claiming the character would be played either by Brittany Snow or Amanda Bynes.

If there was any truth to these edits, I'm pretty sure Disney would be promoteing the heck out of it (especially as close to the premiere as it is now). WAVY 10 17:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Aerial photos?
Hello, I have been active lately in contacting photographers on flickr to see if they will re-license some of their encyclopedic photos under the creative commons license. Several of them have been kind enough to do so. I am currently in touch with a gentleman who lives in central Florida who has taken some very nice aerial photos. He has asked if there are any specific photos we need in the central Florida area.

I told him that I thought an aerial photo of Walt Disney World Resort would be very nice.

all the FILM lists
On the to-do list is a request to "Clean up/consolidate/standardize/merge/fix all the associated Disney film lists (List of Disney animated shorts, List of Disney featurettes, List of Disney feature films, List of Disney live-action films, List of Disney direct-to-video films, List of Disney theatrical animated features, etc etc. Tons of duplication, and fails WP:NOT (a collection of lists)."   I'll start with the obvious question:  is there a need to have these three as separate lists, when they can be indicated as such on the same page:  List of Disney feature films, List of Disney live-action films, List of Disney theatrical animated features?   The one in the middle is the most obvious duplicate of the former, and all the items on the latter are indicated as such on the former.  So why is there a need to have all three?  Granted, the single page indicating those films in the official canon has some merit, but there may be other ways to do that as well. Comments appreciated, as I'm going to start chopping and moving things and would hate to do it on my own. SpikeJones (talk) 02:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Park listings
So it seems the many pages (such as List of current Magic Kingdom attractions, List of past Magic Kingdom attractions, List of current Epcot attractions) are somewhat of a mess. Let's agree on putting all current attractions, previous attractions and entertainment on either one page or the land's page (such as Fantasyland or Future World). I've created a prototype of the one page idea here: User:Blm07/Epcot example -- blm07 18:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * As mentioned on the main project page, this would include the slightly newer page List of Disney attractions, and perhaps encompass Closed rides and attractions as well.SpikeJones 18:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that the List of Disney attractions can be a comprehensive list. It is color coded to define current, past and future attractions, as well as gives a nice chart format for each park.  It does need clean up and is incomplete, but with a few hands, adding to it, we can make it a stellar article.  We can discuss the details of layout and information on its talk page. Bytebear 00:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of a huge list, but I think past attractions / entertainment should be included on the land's page as well. Then again, Disneyland's list is huge, so a page for each park should be fine as well. -- blm07 00:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I hold no opposition to having separate pages for each park. The main list serves the purpose of getting an overview of everything Disney has done.  Others can focus on each park as needed.  It just depends on the purpose for the list(s).  Ideally you can use the attraction page itself as a template to generate the list from.  A good example of such a concept can be found at List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The format is basically this:      Using this format, you can reuse the data from each attraction in many lists, and even the infobox on the attraction page, and when data changes or is added, the lists get updated as well.  It's a fairly slick solution. Bytebear 01:00, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Using more templates could be a good idea, do you think you can come up with a small example of how it would work and look? Also, what should the page be called? I was thinking "(Park) attractions and entertainment history" -- blm07 01:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to go ahead and move my Epcot example to Epcot attraction and entertainment history if there are no objections, and if you want to try the template thing, then go ahead. I'll help populate the list, but I don't know how to set it up. -- blm07 19:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

"Disneyland Park" vs "Disneyland Park (Anaheim)"
so... anyone know why the Disneyland article needed to have the "Anaheim" clarification? Me thinks someone did that on their own without checking for consensus first. SpikeJones (talk) 13:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, it was moved, moved back and moved again without any notice that I could see. Maybe it is the proper title, but a move that big should have been agreed upon first. -- blm07 01:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * So... do we need an administrator to see if it should be moved back? (If it is to be moved back, there will need to have some admin work on it.) SpikeJones (talk) 02:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

"Magic Kingdom" vs "Magic Kingdom Park"
there was a recent edit on the Walt Disney Company page changing the text of "Magic Kingdom" to "Magic Kingdom Park", stating that "MKP" was the official reference from Disney. I see that on the Disney website, they do refer to the park as MKP, but not necessarily all the time. At the resort itself, they only refer to MK as MK on signage, etc. A quick scan through WP shows that there is inconsistent use, and MKP currently redirects back to the MK article itself. My recommendation for a policy on this is that the only place we need to refer to MKP as MKP is on the MK page itself, that we keep the MK page named as it currently is, and that we remove (make consistent) all references of MKP in various article text to be just MK. Comments, thoughts? SpikeJones (talk) 17:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Magic Kingdom Park is strictly for trademark protection, so that "Magic Kingdom" is modifying a noun. The park's guidemap says only Magic Kingdom, as does the large sign above the toll booths. Changing every Wikipedia reference to read Magic Kingdom Park is unnecessary hair-splitting unsupported by consistent usage at the resort itself. WP:UCN says Use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things. As in Bill Clinton, not William Jefferson Clinton. &#151;Whoville (talk) 01:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Disney attraction: standard formatting/details
I just realized that many of the Disney related attractions pages have several different format; or "templates" with regards to how information is presented -- infoboxes, images, details, description, even down to the opening sentence, where some list the parks the attraction is at, while others don't. Perhaps we can look around at one of the existing attractions and make that the "standard" to which all other attractions should attempt to mimic. Tiggerjay (talk) 18:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You'll want to start with Template:Infobox_Disney_ride or ask those folks their opinion. It's a very good place to start. SpikeJones (talk) 21:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, however I was looking for discussion on consistancy beyond the existing wiki-templates (which still need to be implemented everywhere), but more about the article in general. Tiggerjay (talk) 22:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Past / Present DLR Attractions Pages Formatting
I love the idea of these lists. The thing that has been bugging me is there is no standard to how the format should be. The Disneyland Park version has a simple list while the California Adventure section has a bullet system. Which do you guys think it should be? I'm leaning towards the bullet but with having the attraction name in bold. -Dewdrinker19 (talk) 23:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Attraction naming standards
SpikeJones (talk) 16:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

A discussion was started at Talk:Toy_Story_Midway_Mania%21 about moving and/or renaming Toy Story Midway Mania! due to the different names which have been used, marketed, etc for this new attraction. The question was raised how should articles be named/created/moved inside of Wikipedia. Should they be based on the names according to the park maps, or by the marketed name (sometimes the same), or by the commonly referred to name (i.e. a truncated version). Since this affects at least all Disney related articles, I suggested the discussion be moved here instead of inside a specific articles talk page. Tiggerjay (talk) 06:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Using Mad Tea Party as an example, this attraction has four different names in five different parks. In this case, the consensus has been to go with the attraction name that opened first. For The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, there is a section specifically for Hotel Hightower, a slightly different ride yet not enough of a difference to make an entirely new article (so the article is named after the ride that opened first... including the "the" in the name).  Pooh's Honey Hunt in TDL is different enough from the US Pooh ride to warrant its own article.  Those who have been around can recall the controversy over punctuation used for Rock-n-Roller Coaster's article, basing the result on in-park signage.  Soarin' at Epcot is folded under the Soarin' Over California article, as the California version came first.  Hence the problem with TSMM in that they were developed and opened (more or less) at the same time.  For sake of consistency for attractions that appear in multiple parks with different names, it looks like the long in-park names have been the standard used, regardless of what people outside the berm use to refer to the attraction.  (who calls the teacups the "mad tea party" in real life?  almost nobody.)  And then there is the submarine article(s) which are a completely different animal.  But at least here are some talking points to get started... SpikeJones (talk) 13:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Let's look at the Disneyland Resort, where "Toy Story Mania!" is being used in all advertising, including Billboards and TV outside the parks, and even inside the parks, they use the "Toy Story Mania!" logo in the resort, at the Tram Loading area, Downtown Disney, and signage next to the Ticket Booths. But the signage on the attraction, and on the Park Maps says "Toy Story Midway Mania!".  If the park "officials", and that being Bob Iger and the rest of the main Corporate group uses "Toy Story Mania!", including on ALL Media events, including opening ceremonies and Press Releases, I don't see why someone can say that "Toy Story Midway Mania!" takes precedence over "Toy Story Mania!".  I think the best wording is...


 * Toy Story Mania! (also known as Toy Story Midway Mania!")


 * Since the Park OFFICIAL spokespeople use the "Toy Story Mania!" name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.168.181.42 (talk) 13:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Something to consider: Disney was contractually prohibited from using the Disney-MGM Studios name in certain marketing vehicles, like the free vacation-planning kit. In that kit, the park consistently was called The Disney Studios and the company went as far as visually altering the Animation Courtyard arch to remove the Disney-MGM Studios name and logo in the accompanying VHS tape and DVD. So in some contexts, the park was marketed as The Disney Studios but I don't think there's any doubt that the park's name was Disney-MGM Studios during that time. I've seen references to a TV commercial for the Toy Story attraction that similarly altered the California marquee to remove the word "Midway". My point is that sometimes the "marketing" name should be considered an exception, not the rule.


 * I don't understand some people's need to declare only one name "official" when both are in use by the same company at the same time. Sure, if Iger and the public relations department call it Toy Story Mania! that's an "official" name. But aren't the Toy Story Midway Mania! signs erected throughout both parks "official" too? The purpose of this discussion shouldn't be to decide which name is "official"—it should be to reach consensus on a logical naming standard that can apply throughout Wikipedia. &#151;Whoville (talk) 14:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Using the above example, the WP article was named "Disney-MGM Studios", regardless of what the marketing people called it. I'm leaning towards using the official in-park marquee name for all WP articles as opposed to whatever marketing phrasing is used (i believe in casual conversation, people will call it "midway mania", although the acronym for the Monster's Inc Laugh Floor attraction has surprisingly not turned out to be as popular as I would have hoped) SpikeJones (talk) 16:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I certainly don't think the attractions should be named after the "commonly referred to" name, since that isn't official. I think the article should be named after whatever the attraction is called in the park on the sign itself. If there are multiple versions of the name in each park, then maybe something like this could be done: Buzz Lightyear (attractions). Then there are attractions like Astro Orbitor that has had many different names over the years and is basically the same ride. All these changes in names are pretty rare, so I say stick with the official sign in the park, and when there is a dispute, discuss it on that attraction's talk page. -- blm07 16:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

The manin page of Toy Story Midway Mania starts with Toy Story Midway Mania! (marketed as Toy Story Mania!). If Disney has made the decision to market the attraction under the Toy Story Mania! name, shouldn't that be the MAIN name. Heck, all the merchandise sold in the parks related to the attraction uses the Toy Story Mania! name and logo. Everything released from Disney except the sign on the attraction and the Guides to the Magic uses the Toy Story Mania! name, but some folks here at Wikipedia want to ignore the fact that the majority of material released by Disney uses the Toy Story Mania! name 76.168.181.42 (talk) 15:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * First, let's remember that there is such a function on WP as a REDIRECT and DISAMBIGUATION - so we can really reduce or eliminate the consideration of end user confusion. And then as an encyclopedic we should consider using the longest, most descriptive title as possible. Most companies in their communication will drop the "corporation" part of their name, such as HP (instead of Hewlett-Packard Company) which might actually to serve as an excellent example - so with this as an example, lets us the longest name, such as TSMM or MTP instead of the shortened names, but certainly include appropriate redirects and/or disambiguation pages for the other AKA, such as teacups or HP. Tiggerjay (talk) 15:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * We'll need to consider Expedition Everest's renaming while we're at it. Can we check the history to see if there was any commentary for the shorter name? SpikeJones (talk) 16:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Could Toy Story Mania be the promotional event surrounding the opening of Toy Story Midway Mania? Didn't they just open a Toy Story parade at DCA as well?
 * The parade is called the Pixar Play Parade. And not related to Toy Story, or Toy Story Midway Mania directly at all. Bytebear (talk) 22:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, please join in. For the record, please view the TALK page and HISTORY page for the article as you chime in. There have been good-faith attempts to bring the article in line with standards, but there is a lack of reputable, non-biased third-party references to support Mr Mongello's notability for inclusion in WP, and an attempt to include unnecessary amounts of trivial detail about Mr Mongello's life into the article.

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
 * The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
 * The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
 * A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Character articles
Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone would like to discuss guidelines regarding articles about Disney characters? That's what I'm focusing now. Most of the character articles are unsourced, and are not very well organized. That, and some of the subjects actually border on not being notable enough to have their own separate articles. Can we come up with specific guidelines for the character articles? I have some ideas for guidelines, but I would like to know if anyone else wishes to discuss this matter first before I post anything. Additionally, I was actually thinking that perhaps there should be a task force devoted to character articles since there are so many of them, but I'm not too sure how to go about it. --SilentAria talk 06:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd be interested in this as well. I've browsed a few of these articles and wouldn't mind helping in the cleanup.  Some guidelines would be helpful.  Arrjay74 (talk) 19:46, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Eek, sorry for the lack of follow-through in this proposal of mine; is anyone still interested in fixing the character articles? I just drafted some guidelines here, but they're not complete yet. If anyone's willing to help me draft the guidelines (or maybe even form a Disney Character Task Force?), please let me know; once they're finished I will be making efforts to implement them in all the Disney character articles, even though I know that it will probably result in a lot of deletions/merges due to the lack of secondary sources. If anyone has any objections and violent reactions, do let me know as well. :) --SilentAria talk 19:36, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Media franchises
Dear WikiProject Disney participants...WikiProject Media franchises needs some help from other projects which are similar. Media franchises' scope deals primarily with the coordination of articles within the hundreds if not thousands of media franchises which exist. Sometimes a franchise might just need color coordination of the various templates used; it could mean creating an article for the franchise as a jump off point for the children of it; or the creation of a new templating system for media franchise articles. The project primarily focuses on multimedia franchises. It would be great if some of this project's participants would come over and help the project get back on solid footing. Also, if you know of similar projects which have not received this, let know. Please come and take a look at the project and see if you wish to lend a hand. You can sign up here if you wish.

Template discussion
Hi. If you've been following any of the discussion in the Walt Disney World park articles, you'll see that every so often we get into edit wars on where the parks are located. It is the consensus of the editors that the main article covers this fully, and that the child articles for the individual parks, hotels, etc. should only reference back to the parent WDW article. However, using the template for those parks creates a redundancy with that approach. There are two fields, "Location" and "Resort", that have the same data in them.

Our thought was to revise the infobox to mention only the resort, but obviously that would affect the articles for the less-contested Disney resorts in Anaheim, Urayasu, Marne-la-Vallee and Penny's Bay. So, I would like to get opinions from those involved with the overall Disney WikiProject about establishing the same basic "tree" amongst all five resort complexes, such that for any resort: Resort references the location of the complex, Park/Hotel references Resort, Attraction references Park.

I know that it's kinda silly for one resort's articles to dictate how the other four are laid out, but perhaps this setup is for the best. Opinions? McDoobAU93 (talk) 21:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, McDoob, for bringing this back up. This edit conflict has been going on and off on the WDW articles since at least 2006 (moreso more recently). I don't believe making this change would have an adverse affect on the other articles, as their specific locations can be discussed on their main articles as well. SpikeJones (talk) 14:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * As another edit war appears to be starting (this time at Disney's Wide World of Sports), I decided to be bold and make the change to the template. I did check some of the other resort articles and nothing appears to have been messed up. I moved the "Resort" field to the top of the list, so the flow of the infobox remains basically intact. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 22:13, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Treasure Planet assessment
I did a lot of editing on Treasure Planet over the past few days, and noticed that it has yet to be assessed by this WikiProject. Can someone please do the assessment for me? I don't think it'd be fair if I did the assessment, since I was the one who added most of the content. :p --SilentAria talk 02:53, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I give up. Finding non-copyrighted material for the page is an abbysmal task, it can't ever move foward until some part of Disney's copyright overlaps opens up.

Disney character and Disney film article guidelines
Since I received no violent/negative reactions and two positive reactions to my Disney Character article guidelines, I've decided to add them to this WikiProject's main page. I know it might be presumptuous of me to do so, but since we want to ensure the quality of Disney articles, I think that we need to address the numerous Disney character articles that need improvement and/or actually need to be deleted or merged. I thought that perhaps having guidelines will give us a headstart in that department, so here we are. :p Feel free to add your own guidelines and tips in creating Disney character articles and/or implement the guidelines if you have the time. If anyone happens to be interested in creating a task force for the further improvement of Disney character articles, please let me know since I've drafted a userpage for it just in case. I might be working on guidelines for the film articles too; I'll keep you guys posted if I come up with anything (I might be busy with school for a while, so it probably won't be done any time soon). :) --SilentAria talk 11:21, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Disney character articles tagged for failing to establish notability
Sorry if I seem so obsessive about the character articles, but somehow they really bug me in that they are mostly just reiterations of the plot in the films they appear in and do not provide secondary sources. I've gone through the first parts of the Characters in the Disney animated features canon category and tagged a few for failing to establish notability through sources "independent of the subject" (per WP:GNG):


 * Claude Frollo (Disney)
 * Esmeralda (Disney)
 * T. J. Detweiler
 * Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)
 * Jafar (Aladdin)
 * Maleficent
 * Merlin (Disney)
 * Madam Mim
 * Yen Sid
 * The Colonel (One Hundred and One Dalmatians)

And here are a few that have already been tagged for failing to establish nobility by other editors:
 * Madellaine
 * Professor Ratigan

Please feel free to fix these articles up, provide sources, or whatever; I'll eventually tag them for deletion/merging if they don't get cleaned-up. I'll probably be adding more to this list or something when I have more time to prune the articles. --SilentAria talk 05:41, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation
This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.

We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.

If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

List of characters in Phineas and Ferb
This article is heavily in need of help. Not only is it un-sourced and messy, but people keep editing things that need to be reverted immediately such as:
 * Break templates by messing with something
 * Link to "Main article" but they just redirect back to the same section.
 * Change the characters age. (I have no idea what their real age is, so I dont know who to revert.)

It would help if your project would watch this page. It had no project boxes on the talkpage, so I added them as Start-class and low-importance. Thanks, Blake (Talk·Edits) 00:32, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Task Force
User:Liquidluck and I are proposing a Task Force for any article pertaining to the actress, singer and songwriter Miley Cyrus, as well as for the franchise, Hannah Montana. A majority of these articles (ex: "Who Said," Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus and Miles to Go) are lacking sources, images, description and more. They can and should be expanded. We are proposing this TaskForce so that any collaborators may work on the articles pertaining to the singer/franchise, the goal being to bring them up to a FA and GA status on Wikipdeia, anyone is welcomed. If there are no objections in four days, we will start it. Thank you. -- Ipodnano05 (talk) 14:40, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Commenting to confirm my support. Many Miley Cyrus articles are also vandalism targets or targets of good faith additions by confused contributors. Liquidluck (talk) 20:49, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If it's just the two of you, is a task force really necessary? And why place the task force under WikiProject Disney?  She's certain to undertake non-Disney projects in the future, which would cause difficulties in categorizing their articles under a Disney task force.  Powers T 18:20, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but as of now she is under Disney. Plus, we're making a task force so anyone is welcomed to edit in a group. -- Ipodnano05 (talk) 23:01, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What about previous non-Disney projects? Would they fall under the task force's remit?  Powers T 12:18, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, what would be an acceptable WikiProject to put the task force under? -- Ipodnano05 (talk) 22:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It depends on the answer to my question. If you are specifically only going to focus on Cyrus' Disney projects, or on the Hannah Montana franchise alone, then it's fine to have it here.  But if you want to focus on all aspects of her career, then my best suggestion would be to make it a joint task force under both WikiProject Musicians and WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers.  I am not intimately familiar with how task forces work, though, so I don't know if that's feasible.  Powers T 23:17, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * O.K. I read through WP:TASKFORCE and it would be acceptable to include articles only pertaining to her singing and acting career. But our initial goal also included her book and the Hannah Montana franchise. Looks like a WikiProject might be acceptable because it is independent and maybe a Hannah Montana Task Force under Disney, later on. -- Ipodnano05 (talk) 01:19, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It sounds like your scope won't fit neatly under any single existing WikiProject. If you don't think you have enough people for a full-fledged WikiProject, my only remaining suggestion is to leave a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council and see what the experts there think.  Powers T 12:06, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a wider task force, then- something like Disney Channel, or Disney Stars encompassing solely their Disney-related projects. This would have to be advertised and discussed separately, and the points raised here are valid, so the Miley Cyrus task force idea should be shelved for now. Thanks for your input, Powers!

The Lion King characters
Hi everyone. I come here to ask you for some advice/guidance on what is going on regarding characters of The Lion King. Three months ago, Nala (The Lion King) was tagged for merge and the result of the discussion was to merge it into the article of the The Lion King film. However, no content at all was actually merged into that article, as the section for "Cast" or similar was also removed. I know that a merge does not equal "copy/paste", but this particular merge does not correspond to Wikipedia's definition of "Merging": "a process by which two similar or redundant pages are united on one page." I think that this merge was incorrectly handled since The Lion King and Nala are not redundant/similar pages, as Nala appears in more media than the first film (sequels, TV series, musical, even Disney crossovers). Furthermore, Zazu was also redirected without any discussion into The Lion King article.

During the time of Nala's merge, the List of The Lion King characters was also proposed for merging and was also redirected without adding any content to The Lion King article. At the time of the merge proposal, the list of characters contained only minor characters (Sarabi and characters from the sequels) and the redirect without actual merge was not that harmful. However, the List of characters would have been useful for merging characters that play a major role in more than the first film but have no notability outside The Lion King franchise, for example Nala and Zazu. Since The Lion King article covers only the first film of the franchise, I think it is not enough for redirecting Nala, Zazu, the list of characters and eventual mergers to it.

For this purpose I evoke Consensus can change, my proposal being to recreate the List of The Lion King characters and merge Nala and Zazu there, and perhaps other characters that have been tagged for their lack of notability. The use of these lists of characters has proven useful in other Disney franchises for merging characters that appear in more than one film but are not notable.

Mickey Mouse
Hi, in the Mickey Mouse article I've read that Mickey was banned by fascism in 1938. This is FALSE. See here: if Mickey was banned in Italy in 1938 why "Topolino (giornale)" could publish "Mickey Mouse in love trouble" (in italian "Topolino e l'illusionista", litterally "Mickey Mouse and the illusionist") in 1941-1942? Actually Mussolini spared Mickey Mouse from banning in 1938, because his children did like it (they read the weekly "Topolino"). In December 1941, the United States declared War to Italy. On February 3, 1942 Fascism decided to forbid the weekly "Topolino" to publish Mickey Mouse stories. Mickey was replaced by Tuffolino, an human character very similar to Mickey (a plagiarism; Minnie was replaced by Mimma and Clarabelle was replaced by Clara). The first Tuffolino story is a remake with non-disney characters of "Mickey Mouse supersalesman" (1941). The other stories are original stories created totally in Italy by Federico Pedrocchi (script) and Pierlorenzo De Vita (art). Sources: I don't know why "The Times" stated that Mickey Mouse was banned in 1938. Perhaps did Mussolini forbid only the Mickey Mouse cartoons, sparing the comics? But in this case Mussolini would be inconsistent. Perhaps this is an error by The Times. This is the proof that we have to read more sources, not only one, because that ONE could be wrong. I'm sorry if my english is far from being perfect, but I'm italian. I hope I've made myself understood.--79.30.12.227 (talk) 14:18, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Disney articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Disney articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (&diams;) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

WikiProject cleanup listing
I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 20:16, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

IP addresses
There is a discussion about any concerns about the IP addresses adding dubious information about the Disney articles, this discussion is here at WikiProject Animation and the thread at administrator's noticeboard. Please join the discussions for any concerns, think for your time. Regards, JJ98 (Talk)  21:13, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * 78.155.239.29 is at it again - he added a bunch of fake credits to the Wikipedia listing for The Fox and the Hound. On IMDB, I had to delete many of these same names of people who didn't work on the film. Compare the credits on its IMDB page, from which I removed all the fake entries, to the credits that are up on the film's Wiki page now. There are DOZENS of names of people who had no involvement in the film. These edits need to be reverted, and seeing as this person even now continues to add false information, I believe the admins should take measures against him.--TServo2050 (talk) 19:59, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Disney Second Screen
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment recently released a new film feature with Bambie Diamond called Second Screen. A short paragraph about the feature is currently included within the Home Entertainment article. I work with Disney, so I probably have a little bit of a better understanding of the feature than the average person. A number of credible sources have produced articles about the feature, and it is scheduled to be included within the new Tron: Legacy DVD and Blu-ray.

I'm wondering if Disney Second Screen is currently deserving of its own Wikipedia article, or if we should simply expand its contents within the Home Entertainment article. My gut feeling is that we might need to wait until after the Tron: Legacy DVD and Blu-ray is released before creating its own article because more information will be released about it at that time. I wanted to get some feedback from the community first, so I created a rough draft on my user page of what the article could potentially look like.

Thoughts? --TravisBernard (talk) 17:15, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Inclusion of pre-1997 Disney Channel original programming on Template:Disney Channel Original Series
This template was recently added to articles on pre-1997 Disney Channel original programming (at a time when the term "Disney Channel Original Series" did not yet exist).

I suggest that these shows be included in this Template:Disney Channel Original Series as well. - Windows72106 (talk) 15:28, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

The Princess and the Frog -> Good Article?
The Princess and the Frog article doesn't look too bad; it's got reliable, well-sourced information and after some re-structuring, is looking rather presentable. It's certainly in better shape than most other Disney Animated film articles, and I was thinking that maybe it should be nominated for Good Article status? I was wondering what other editors might think and what else may need to be done prior to putting it up as a Good Article candidate-- Groovy Sandwich  07:07, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the  parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Nutcracker commentary
This is a minor thing, but the Fantasia article's claim that the Nutcracker ballet is now frequently performed in its entirety (as opposed to the comment made by the narrator that the full ballet is typically not performed anymore) is inaccurate. While the storyline and events of the ballet are preserved, the score is rarely used in its entirety. It is now common practice to replace less desirable score elements with pieces by other composers. I believe the splicing and substituting of the score are what the narrator refers to when he claims that the full ballet is rarely performed anymore--which would make his comment as relevant now as it was in 1940. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.192.44 (talk • contribs)

We Belong Together (Randy Newman song)
I just created an article for last years Academy Award for Best Original Song winner, "We Belong Together". Since most Disney songs are covered in several foreign languages, I am calling for assistance in filling in the article. My current version also needs some citations. I will try to find as many as I can. Help would be appreciated. I have added all the nominations that I could find from other articles on wikipedia. It may have been nominated for awards that don't have WP articles. Help filling that in would be appreciated. I figure since this is an Oscar winner, it is a somewhat high priority article for this project. Please come help out.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I would love to contribute my input on that page! I too agree that because it won the Academy Award, it entitles the song to have its own article. Also as a side note, over a month ago, I created an article for this year's Oscar winner; "Man or Muppet". I would surely love some help on this article too. ~  Jedi94  (talk) 16:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
