Talk:Chip 'n' Dale

message: On the article page there a link in the section "Two Chips and a Miss" named Clarice, after the character in the cartoon. Yet, it leads to an article about a reindeer instead. I don't think chipmunks should be confused for reindeer. And I know the character myself. If there is no page for Clarice that is appropriate, I'd suggest that her name remains texts. And to prevent confusion to readers.
:There are many bad links on Wikipedia. People take for granted that links would be helpful, instead of checking out if they're really linking to the correct article... 惑乱 分からん 15:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Misleading link

message: The references all concur on 
*Chip 'n' Dale
rather than the current 
*Chip 'n Dale
(which, BTW, uses an illogical spelling of the single letter contraction of "and"). Two variants that at least one confirms are
*Chip an' Dale
*Chip and Dale
which i'll add to the text, along with renaming the page.--Jerzy•t 06:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, however Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers's refs are united on that spelling. Perhaps this calls for a decent interval in which justifications could be offered for the status quo.--Jerzy•t 06:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For what it's worth, most references to the "classic" Chip and Dale cartoons (non-rescue ranger) use the "Chip 'n' Dale" form (including the title cards for the classic animated shorts under the Chip 'n' Dale series).  While "Chip 'n Dale" is usually seen when referencing the Rescue Rangers cartoon (as seen in the CDRR logo), the model sheets for Chip and Dale used for Rescue Rangers have "Chip 'n' Dale" printed on them. It seems even Disney isn't always unified on which form is correct. Duckyass 05:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: For those who are unfamiliar with the background information behind the Chip n Dale franchaise there are in fact two main websites that house most of the information behind this franchise. These are The Acorn Cafe, and Chip And Dale Online.  The Acorn Cafe does focus more heavily on the Rescue Rangers and in that may be better put on the Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers wiki page.  However in that that page has had the link to the Acorn Cafe repeatedly deleted I believe for completeness sake both Chip and Dale Online and The Acorn Cafe ought to be represented with a link in this article.  If it is determined that the Acorn Cafe should instead be linked on the Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers article then that makes sense and seems to be a good idea but in leiu of that the link ought to be on the normal Chip n Dale article it seems to me.  Please tell me the reasoning against this as I am confused by the repeated attempts to delete any link to an important site for information about the topic in the article.  Thanks
:After looking at both links, it seems that while Chip and Dale Online is an informative website specifically relating to the Chip 'n' Dale cartoons, The Acorn Cafe is a message forum specifically relating to the Rescue Rangers. Putting a link to The Acorn Cafe on here seems like putting a link to a "The Phantom Menace" fansite on the Wikipedia article about Luke Skywalker.
:Chip 'n Dale Online being linked while The Acorn Cafe is not could be due in part to The Acorn Cafe being just a message board while Chip 'n Dale Online includes a rather thorough history section covering most, if not all, of the classic shorts. Were it also just a message board, I think it would be hard to justify either site having a link.
:: Fair enough, and that makes sense.  Thank you for the reasoning.
This probably also goes back to Wikipedia's nonsensical policy about fandoms being "non-noteworthy", as well. Oh well.74.255.70.193 (talk) 18:37, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: The Two Forums of Information

message: The page is included in the "Fictional Twins" category, but I'm not sure that's valid.  I don't recall seeing anything to indicate that they were twins.  Brothers, sure, perhaps even litter-mates (chipmunks do have 4-5 babies at a time after all - not to get all sciency about it or anything) but I was pretty sure that Chip is meant to be slightly older.  If they are indeed twins, it would be an unusual exception to the usual rules regarding fictional twins - which are almost universally either identical twins (of like genders by definition), or fraternal twins of opposite genders.  There are almost no depictions anywhere of fraternal twins of the same gender.  (And Chip and Dale are certainly not identical, at least with the exception of their very first few appearances.)

replies: text: As far as I'm aware, there have been no indications that Chip and Dale are related, let alone brothers.  Any such categorization is pure speculation.  Powers T 13:59, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Oversight of continuity in the comics was perfunctory at best, though I admit it fits the criteria for an indication that they're related.  =)  Obviously not enough to keep them in :Category:Fictional twins, though.  Powers T 14:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Walt Disney Comics and Stories Edition #214, in the Chip 'n' Dale section it is Dale's birthday. Since Chip's birthday does not to take place on the same day and section, this is concrete evidence that they are not twins or brothers. Being related however is another matter.

message: I think there should be a section about the voices.  It should include how they were done and if they were the first 'high pitch' cartoon character voices or copied from some other source. I believe that "Witch Doctor" and "Purple People Eater" may be presumed to have got there voice idea from Chip 'n' Dale.  agb  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.233.167.122 (talk) 18:58, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voices 

message: I have just reverted a large number of good faith edits by User:104.235.116.129.  There were a number of issues about these changes that I'll address below;
* "Year Period" - What does this mean?  What source is being used for them?
* "Age Era" column.  What does this mean?  What source is being used for them?
* Change of "Release date" to "Air date". What is meant by "Air date"? These differ from the release dates on the individual articles about each film.  If the dates in the article are incorrect, please cite the source of these new dates so that we can see.
* "Distributor" and "Distribution talk" columns that mostly repeats themselves in every row.  I don't see what these verbose columns are adding to the table, except to repeat the "Author" column and mention "Walt Disney" on every row.
* "Deaths Before And After" column.  What is the point of this confusing column?  If it indicates who is voicing the characters, it would be much clearer to have a "Voices" column, rather than describing at length when the actors died in every row.

message: The article currently states: "Dale has a larger, dark red nose and it is his canine teeth that are exposed."  It initially struck me as odd that they were referred to as canine teeth since they are so square, and looking over at the Rodent page, at least scientifically, rodents do not have canine teeth. Is there any sort of canon material saying that Dale has canine teeth?  Otherwise, perhaps this could be described differently? Ritabuuk (talk) 05:48, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Both set of characters are so much similar. 
But mac n tosh came in 1942.
