message: Last time I checked, prefered style was to wikilink terms names at their first appearance, not every time. I notice my unlinking of a few names the second time they appeared as a link has been reverted. Why? Wondering simply, --Infrogmation 21:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Multiple linking is bad only when the same article is linked twice in one section. Linking something in the lead and then linking it later in a section is okay since it's likely the user will not want to scroll back up. --Andrew Levine 22:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the objection to mentioning New Orleans in relation to Krazy's accent/dialect? --Infrogmation 21:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The New Orleans accent, with the wording you used, is an unsourced statement, and it was added with weasel words. If you can come up with a proper citation, it can be added to the article. --Andrew Levine 22:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

text: But Herriman is from New Orleans, and there are certainly allusions to many accents, including Mexican, New Orleanian, and Brooklyn, in the sophisticated dialog of the strip. Rick Norwood 15:09, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as the "Brooklynese" accent, this is actually the dialect of New Orleans, called Yat which is often confused with that of Brooklyn, simply because there are far more New Yorkers than people from New Orleans.  I added the New Orleans reference before seeing this debate on this discussion page, but felt that it might be obvious enough not to have a source? Staroftheshow86 00:49, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't really comment on this, as I'm a British fan and thus unfamiliar with American accents.  However, to me, Krazy's accent always seemed rather innocent and child-like and that always added to its charm and Krazy's androgynous nature... NickPretzel (talk) 15:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Krazy's accent/dialect 

message: Here's the section in question: 
:"Krazy's own gender is never made clear, with most authors post-Herriman (beginning with E. E. Cummings) referring to her as female. Her creator was more ambiguous and even published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty." We go from talking about the ambiguity of the character's sex and then state that the creator was "more ambiguous"; as much as you might think that this interpretation is a stretch, it sounds to me like we're talking about Herriman's gender.
I'd even prefer eliminating "ambiguous" completely: "Krazy's own gender is never made clear, with most authors post-Herriman (beginning with E. E. Cummings) referring to her as female. Her creator even published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty." But there are many other ways I can think of to avoid this ambiguity: "Her creator did little [or "nothing"] to clarify the matter and even published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty." "Herriman made the issue more ambiguous by published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty." "Herriman [heightened/highlighted/embraced] the ambiguity and published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty."
At any rate, this isn't a dealbreaker for me. But I do sincerely wish you would reconsider this one specific turn of phrase. As for the comma and where/when changes, I'm of course for them, but I'll let Andrew weigh in before we go ahead. — Amcaja 14:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a big difference between being ambiguous and being unclear.  Herriman was often ambiguous, but never unclear.  Leave that sentence as it is, and you have your other changes, as far as I'm concerned. --Rick Norwood 20:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Then let me be perfectly blunt: The sentence is unclear. Andrew changed it in good faith; why did you change it back? And in your edit statement, you claim we disagreed on only three items. Reading this discussion above shows that we disagreed on many, many more. I let most of them go your way. I don't get your stubbornness on this one point. Would you agree to one of the alternatives I provided above? —Amcaja 21:50, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can only say that the rewrite was in a delightful style and it seems a shame to make pedestrian changes.  You say the sentence is unclear.  I can't imagine any other reading but the obvious one.  --Rick Norwood 00:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think we're at a standoff just yet. Would you please take a look at the alternatives I posted above? I gave four subtle rewrites of that sentence that I'd be happy with. —Amcaja 04:43, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I looked through the external links and I can't find any sort of archieves of the strips, I've now read a bunch of great reviews and critical acclaim of Krazy Kat so I'd love to actually be able to read the comic itself.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.37.211 (talk • contribs) 
:Reprints are available from Manuscript Press, Fantagraphics, and Pacific Comics Club.  Also, reprints are available on the King Features Syndicate web page.
:Anon, there aren't any large archives online that I know of, but since several years' worth of strips should be in the public domain, there's nothing to stop you from remedying this grievous situation. --maru   (talk)  contribs 22:13, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The two full-size strips included in the article are pretty exemplary. You have to click on them to view the image page, then click again to view them in a readable size (and make sure your browser isn't set to automatically resize image). If you want more, I recommend the book Krazy Kat: The Comic Art of George Herriman mentioned in the article; it is readily available at many large bookstores, or your library might have it. Andrew Levine 17:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are three early animated shorts, now in public domain, saved in the Library of Congress American Memory website. (Search "krazy" at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/paprquery.html.) Whether a link to one of them in the links section would add much to the article is debatable, but I thought I'd mention it here on the talk page. Bombyx 15:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, there's been a link to one of them in the links section for several months now. Andrew Levine 15:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

to Felix the cat instead! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Popopp (talk • contribs) 14:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're right. It looks a lot more like Felix. MURGH disc. 15:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It does look like Felix, but I don't remember the KK animations of being of crazy quality. Perhaps we can ask the uploader? --Gwern  (contribs) 16:55 11 April 2007 (GMT)
There is a KK cartoon titled "Lambs Will Gamble" (note spelling, different from the caption on the picture).  Those animals look more like cows than lambs, and the Cat does not look like a Kat. Rick Norwood 21:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There apparently have been some American comic book versions of Krazy, between 1951 and 1952 Dell published a short-lived series, scripted by John Stanley, which soon folded, but after that, they had Krazy guest play in their Four Color magazine:   Apart from that, Gold Key published a 1964 one-shot, apparently based on the new animated series  惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 22:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Animated Films

message: There's an issue I though about addressing, which are the obviously deliberate misspellings used in the comic strip and various animated adaptations, such as "Offissa (Officer) Bull Pupp," "Li'l dollink" (little darling), "allus f'etful" (?), and of course the more famous catch phrase for those from the baby boom and later, "l'il ainjil" (little angel). Should there be some notes or something about them? I'm pretty sure nine times out of ten, a reader of this article would know what the characters are talking about, but even with the link to Argot, it seems like it may not make sense to everybody. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  22:56, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There are plenty of sources out there that talk about Herriman's dialect dialogue.  There should definitely be something in there about it.   Maybe I'll do it myself someday (I did the George Herriman article), but right now Krazy Kats not high on my list of priorities. Curly Turkey (gobble) 23:07, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Just a heads up that when a media file such as this is renamed by moving, any associated TimedText (closed captions in srt files) do not get automatically moved at the same time, unlike associated Talk pages. Therefore it appears one must manually move each srt file manually, which I am in the process of doing now (not knowing a more automatic way). So far I have moved the English and German srts, but I've seen there are several others shown here still to do. This task should be complete when all those links go grey, indicating redirects. -84user (talk) 08:25, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
