A bit confusing[edit]

This article should clarify that Rumacjs first appeared in children novels, and then a bit later in the cartoon that made him popular.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. In the original version I made a tyop in date: 1976,must be 1967. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:54, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I fixed it a while back. Can you help expand it a bit so we could DYK it? Also ping User:Darwinek. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:57, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you were right. I trusted sc:wp too much. Yes cartoon was later. Staszek Lem (talk)

Additional possible sources[edit]

@Staszek Lem:, @Piotrus: Gentlemen, I found several other sources in Czech that could potentially be used in the article.

Author of Rumcajs and Víla Amálka was born hundred years ago iDNES.cz article on Václav Čtvrtek, includes some details about beginnings of Rumcajs.
Bedtime Stories and Child Viewer bachelor thesis from the Technical University of Liberec. Has the whole chapter on Rumcajs. I am not sure though if we can use a bachelor thesis as a source here.
Interesting info would be also including some info how Rumcajs is commemorated. There's a small exposition on Rumcajs at the chateau in Jičín. The Club of Czech Tourists holds annually (53rd edition in 2019) a walk in Rumcajs' footsteps through the Bohemian Paradise. This year around 9,000 people took part.[1]

Let me know if some of this would be useful.--Darwinek (talk) 22:44, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After recent edits I count 257 words prose, so it is now DYK eligible. But please expand it with any interesting facts, I think the above sources are ok for this article. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:15, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In Witcher[edit]

He even is referenced in The Witcher (but the reference is lost in the English version, sadly). Can't find a reliable source, unfortunately: [2]. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:36, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
