Untitled[edit]

My apologies - irrelevant conversation about release info deleted.* Still, I'd like to see some information about release of this short in the article, if anyone can find it. Toadette Fan 05:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

removed the link to info about real tin toys[edit]

I removed this link. This page is for the short film, not for info about toys. Lizzysama 03:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Major plagiarism identified, article may need to be pulled back to last good version prior to 18 August 2012[edit]

Just realized that User:Saginaw-hitchhiker committed some plagiarism and possible copyright violations [in this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tin_Toy&diff=508050027&oldid=507146744] on 18 August 2012.

If you start comparing the text added in that diff against the original sources on Google Books, it becomes immediately obvious that User:Saginaw-hitchhiker simply retyped entire paragraphs (not just quotations) into the article instead of restating them. For example, the discussion of the SIGGRAPH presentation tracks this source almost word-by-word. The same is true of the discussion of Jobs' response to Lasseter's presentation, when compared against the cited source. --Coolcaesar (talk) 13:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It does look like a copy-paste. Maybe we can rewrite the affected paragraphs instead of going back to such an old revision. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:24, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

hm, that's pretty bad, and i apologize about it! i was a much greener editor then, so my bad. i don't think it's necessary to jump back to an old, old revision, this seems like something one could re-write or even just take out of the article.

Please add the trivia.[edit]

A trivia needs to be added to this, please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.127.115.118 (talk) 16:35, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't really have trivia sections; see WP:TRIVIA. We're supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a collection of random, possibly dubious facts. If a reliable source discusses this information, we can summarize what they've said. However, relying on our own analysis of the film to pick out stuff to highlight is forbidden by our policies on verifiability and original research. A better place for trivia would be the IMDb or TV Tropes. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:09, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More info to make it B class[edit]

First, you should add a Impact section which could really help, also can you add that tinny was in toy story 4. Tinny also had a toy story 4 figure. Also add, Tin toy is available for streaming on Disney+. Tin toy was the 2nd cgi film to get Nominated for a Academy award behind Luxor’s jr (if that part is in). Please find more info.

Outdated Information?[edit]

I Don’t know if I am the first Wikipedia user to find this but when search on toys based on this short films character tinny, I found that he had a figure released to promote toy story 4 meaning that the information in the merchandise Suction is likely outdated.RheieWater2005 (talk) 22:16, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
