Talk:The Rainbow Fish

message: This is two separate articles, IMHO--one is Rainbow Fish (story) and one is Rainbow Fish (TV series). There's too much info here about two different things. Thoughts on a split? Gladys J Cortez 20:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  The article should NOT be split.  This article refers in all respects to the same thing.  All it needs to a copyedit to make sure that the 2 parts of the article are clearly distinguished from each other. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 11:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Whats up with the "freshwater fish" link. I clicked it expecting to go to a site telling me about a real fish classifation and I came right back to the rainbow fish story. Infuriating!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.66.240.75 (talk) 02:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I had reverted an anonymous (and, to my eye, politically biased) edit. This was undone, again without explanation or further reference. See my comments in the edit history for details. I haven't ever made an RfC before, so please steer me in the right direction if necessary for any reason. /Ninly (talk) 22:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have gone ahead and re-reverted this edit, after review of reversion policy and procedure. If you think there's a good reason to change "sharing" to "Communism", please discuss it before making the change again. If the change continues to be made anonymously and without discussion, I will continue to revert it unless a more experienced wikipedian introduces a better way to address this. Please note that a critique of socialism is discussed later on in the article, and that the book does not explicitly deal with (capital-C) Communism. /Ninly (talk) 01:55, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Right. I don't have a problem with the view per se—Communism deserves plenty of criticism. But simple sentences that seem to conflate socialist-sympathetic literature, socialism, Communism, and "sharing", without more explication, isn't an improvement on this article, especially since it already already better expresses some of the same ideas. /Ninly (talk) 18:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The moral?

message: Nowhere in the WikiPedia entry is this mentioned, but before the 2000 TV show on HBO there was a 1997 direct-to-video release of "The Rainbow Fish and Dazzle the Dinosaur", which Amazon.com shows came out on VHS March 25, 1997 and on DVD September 24, 1997. Since it is kind-of a "pilot" to the 2000 HBO series, TVShowsOnDVD.com lists it as the third ever TV-DVD related release ever made. (#'s 1 and 4 were two Beavis and Butt-head titles, and #2 was an Aeon Flux title; all four of those DVDs were released by SonyWonder, a branch of the Sony Music division that was shut down as a separate entity in 2007.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.177.4.176 (talk) 11:35, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don't forget the 1997 direct-to-video VHS and DVD 

message: An important feature of this children's book is that all of the different fish scale seen in the book feature a different tactile sensation and are meant to be touched and enjoyed by the children reading the book. This should be included in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.188.243 (talk) 00:00, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tactile Nature of the Scales in the Book 

message: I am not very well acquainted with the norms of English Wikipedia, that's why I write here instead of taking action. Is really every opinion that someone publishes on their blog considered relevant to be cited in articles? Does really every such opinion make the book "controversial"? In the German version, we would delete the section "controversies".--Oudeístalk  16:13, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
