Clean-up[edit]

This article may need a clean-up. At first, it should say that Popples is a Saturday morning cartoon, and next, it should say that the Popples are the characters. --PJ Pete

Character Images[edit]

In this article, you may need character images, which would be the screenshots of those characters from each episode of Popples. --PJ Pete

Clean-up[edit]

I agree w. PJ Pete - though less about the article subject, and more about simple legibility. The author makes a common fallacy - using the same word interchangeably for similar, but distinct subjects. Perhaps a split (as the front page suggests) is in order, if Wikipedia's policy on TV shows is to have a stub on each. Otherwise - and this needn't be more detailed, just more cleanly written - one can easily follow from another; it's mainly a stylistic choice. The main heading can either refer to the TV show or "document" the fictional race of Popples. As it stands now, though, it's a (subtly) disconcerting read.

In fact, IIRC the main phenomenon was the stuffed toys - not to mention the pencils, the backpacks, the freakin' Shrinky-Dinks - and these (the toys, not the Shrinky-Dinks) were mentioned only peripherally in the article. When I think of "The Popples", as a Wikipedia subject, I think of the dolls my friends used to collect. Would have surprised the hell out of me if they had pulled a chandelier out of "hammerspace."

Fair use rationale for Image:Popples2.jpg[edit]

Image:Popples2.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
