thread_title:  The SWAT Kats Encyclopedia 

message: These links keep getting removed, but after reviewing WP:EL I'm failing to see why. Fan sites are not preferable, but there's not much else out there, and as others have already noted, sites like IMDB either have insufficient or inaccurate information, and before anyone says "prove it wrong," under WP guidelines it can't because either A. it would involve original research or B. it would require citing a fan site. This show is dead and there's not much outside of the fan sites which have archived information from now non-existent official sources in addition to anything conjectural. Other shows in a similar genre such as The Real Ghostbusters, Road Rovers and Batman: The Animated Series are allowed to have fan sites listed in their external links section, and I'm having difficulty understanding why SWAT Kats is treated differently. It's really confusing, and I thank you for your time in advance for any clarification you can offer.--Modad (talk) 23:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a specific section on the talk pages of the article you mentioned that have permission to allow post fansites? I agree that IMDB is not an RS. What exactly do the websites actually offer that cannot be added to improve this article? --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   01:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

text: The case sounds feasible to me; I'll undo my edit, though I cannot guarantee that another editor will not remove them. I can see that the links have been posted for the best interest of the encyclopedia, and not there to merely advertise the sites. Thanks. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   13:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Character Pages

message: I find it odd that fansites with lots of resources are not listed in the links and whenever they are added they are removed again and again.  Why are informational fansites not allowed in the links while big-name encyclopedic sites which contain erroneous information are?  It looks pretty silly to me!
*Per WP:RS, fansites are not considered reliable sources as they also tend to have speculation. Information from official sources are much preferred. 147.70.242.40 23:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: "It was confirmed by Cartoon Network that a new version of the SWAT Kats was in production, ready to be released in the Summer of 2007. It was confirmed also that most of the characters from the original series were coming back. Some of the villains like Dr. Viper, The Metallikats, Dark Cat and The Pastmaster are going to make a return, with a new visual. It isn't known yet if the new cartoon series is a totally new series, or if it it has anything to do with the original show."
Where is proof of this?
I do not see a source, and this is something really really big.

message: The theme song for the show sounds similar to at least two songs I can think of; Iron Maiden's 'The Clairvoyant' and Joe Satriani's 'Summer Song', or at least strongly reminiscent. Who performed the theme?PolarisSLBM 07:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it OK if the individual character articles are moved to this page? They are already short, and this article needs update anyway.
:It's not really needed. Most of the articles have enough substantial information to stand by themselves. Merging all the articles here would just add clutter the page and add an extra +15kb. --ShadowJester07 21:47, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Characters? 

message: Hey, I noticed that for a lot of series, the Wikipedia standard seems to be different from the almost stub-quality pages we have for the Swat Kats episodes.  Some episodes are missing pages all together, and I also think better images could be used on the character pages (T-Bone, for example, seems to have a mugshot taken with a digital camera off a television screen). Anyone object to me changing these pages around a bit so they're all somewhat uniform? Recalcitrancy 21:24, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Characters

message: Could anyone please verify the "SWAT Kats in other languages" section? I can confirm that the Russian title is correct (uh, actually, the translation is lame, but it's the official translation), but I doubt whether the Italian, Hindi and Polish titles are accurate. For example, Google shows that "Gatti Volanti" refers to Catwings, and "Chwaty Koty-Koty Chwaty" just looks weird. --Ambidexter 12:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In watching Swat Kats on youtube recently, I was surprised to hear Linda Gary's voice in Ep. 1.  Double-checking the credits, she is certainly listed there.  I decided that even though her character might only show up in that episode, Ms. Gary is a prestigious enough voice actress to deserve being listed here regardless.  --Yoshiaki Abe 04:12, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

* The Dark SWAT Kats were killed when a bomb they were carrying exploded. Didn't you notice, that the explosion was suspiciously weak? (The bomb was desinged to destroy the enforcers headquaters) Why if the explosion have merely catapulted them into another alternate dimension (in our's for example)Why if they are under your bed now?(Boo-oo-oo!)

thread_title:  Objection, comrades! 

message: I recently added that the TurboKat most notably resembles a Grumman F-14 AND a Saab Draken. Before it just said 'an F-14.' Before you go changing that back, let me make you understand why I wrote that. Americans, Canadians and Iranians are very familiar with the F-14, but other watchers, particularly Europeans and Australians, may benefit from another point of reference. Second, if you look at the Draken from the top down and the TurboKat from the top down, you will see that it is as if the Draken and Tomcat had a baby -with a third engine somehow. GavinSimmons (talk) 17:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've no doubt the plane resembles such. But to put this in without citations/references is original research and frowned upon by Wikipedia policy. Lots42 (talk) 17:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

text: It most certainly does resemble an F-14. Swept-back movable wings, two engines on either side of the fuselage "pancake", two vertical stabilizers on top of the engines, and two seats. Looks pretty similar to me! Cody-7 (talk) 21:57, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  TurboKat Origins 

message: I wanted to thank the editors of this article for including links to pictures of the Swat Kats' vehicles in this article. These days Wikipedia can be a pretty poor place to find images due to their ridiculously strict copyright... policies.

message: I removed the Stuttering Craig addition from this article, as it abruptly mentioned with no context. It is rather random and non-encyclopedic to mention the comment of a non-notable internet personality without any other information about a game in question. If the section contained the reviews of professional critics from reliable sources, then it would not be as much of a problem. Given Craig is more of an internet personality, the addition, if anything would go in popular culture section - if a proper one existed. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk   20:59, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Stuttering Craig

message: Why not have a separate section for their technology? We can move their weapons, vehicles and other technical stuff into this section. It requires a cleanup anyway, so why not shift this info? It can make the article longer.
These things look weird in the 'Background' section.
Another opinion is that we can leave the part stating their jet and other important things in the section they're already in, and create a new section telling other things about it, along with the other tech.

message: This game has a Japanese SNES/SFC release date shown in the article. However, this game is not listed under the Wikipedia article "List of Super Famicom games", nor on snescentral.com or superfamicom.org. Where does this date come from? Unless a reputable citation is found, it should be removed from this article. Evidence suggests that this game was never released in Japan, at least not for the SNES/SFC platform.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kester Nethlo (talk • contribs) 19:00, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, , I believe so as well. It's not listed on Famitsu at all, and they list only two SFC games coming out on that day. This list shows all American released games, and it doesn't list the game either. I'm starting to suspect the game was never released.

message: Ted Turner was talking about Beavis and Butthead in the "Reception and cancellation" section of this Swat Kats article. He was not in any way talking about cancelling Swat Kats for violence. Very misleading to readers of wikipedia. That entire part should be removed because it is trying to justify why it was cancelled, when that entire Ted Turner quote has nothing to do with Swat Kats.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.235.217.130 (talk) 02:38, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
