thread_title: Article move

message: I feel it is important to note that the attraction was know about nearly a full year before it was announced.  Right now the article reads as if it was designed for WDW, when the opposite is true.  Discussion of the attraction being built for WDW did not occur until long before it was know to be going to Disneyland.  This should be noted in the article.  Al Luts did an article on it, and he is is a reliable source, even if a message board is the only reference I can find to his article. Bytebear (talk) 03:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I strongly disagree. Lutz runs a self-published website that relies entirely upon anonymous sources for his reports. His articles are inherently unreliable sources according to established, agreed-upon Wikipedia standards. His predictions and claims may turn out to be true much of the time but his website does not adhere to Wikipedia standards for verifiability. For perspective, consider that the Al Lutz article contains numerous examples of situations where Lutz wrote that something occurred only to have someone else deny it and there's no determination of which side is telling the truth. Furthermore, I don't think Wikipedia articles ought to begin following the online fandom trend of tracking every construction rumor and the internal politics of which executives are liked or disliked. —Whoville (talk) 10:52, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ditto what Whoville said. Many of us know about various rumors and planned projects for Disney and elsewhere outside of MA, JHM, SC, AICN, and other sites that fight to be the ones to say "first!".  We just don't talk about what we know until they're officially announced and can be properly sourced per WP policy. SpikeJones (talk) 12:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: At the same time, the original user has a point. The development of a Disney attraction is not an instant process. Knowing its full development history is notable, and the stories behind many attractions, such as the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain are near-legendary, and well-documented with interviews with Imagineers, management staff, etc. That being said, if we had a more verifiable source for this statement, instead of a blogger, it should be part of the article. Until that time, I completely agree with Spike and Whoville.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 17:31, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: , .  The articles don't explicitly state the timeline for the decision to build at both parks, but they do make it clear that the attraction was originally conceptualized in its current location at Paradise Pier in DCA. FishSpeaker (talk) 00:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're correct Fish -- this article doesn't address *any* of the history behind the ride creation, so any commentary here about the article being written from a WDW-perspective can only be taken by the fact that WDW is mentioned first...and this was because the WDW version opened first.  If you would like to paraphrase/summarize and cite the TftLP and CNN articles in a new "history of the ride" section, that is where you address that the ride was created for CA and tacked into FL secondarily.

thread_title:  Recent edits involving first introduction to "Midway Mania" 

message: Now that the Nintendo Wii game has been introduced, and currently at the Disneyland Resort, the Tram Loading area is still using "Toy Story Mania!" as the logo and name for the attraction, can we all agree that the "Official" name used by the Walt Disney Company is JUST "Toy Story Mania!", and that the "Midway" shows up once you enter the turnstiles, and is a secondary name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.66.111 (talk) 21:39, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Please be sure to read the discussion above regarding what name is and isn't official. The video game's release has no bearing on the attractions' names. Consensus is that the name physically on the attraction's entrance is what counts, and in both cases, as evidenced by the photos in the infoboxes, is that the name is "Toy Story Midway Mania!". I'm all for being bold, but be sure to read the discussion pages to see if what you're proposing has been done before.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 03:00, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

text: For what it's worth, most people I know, myself included, use the short-form name in conversation. However, as noted above, the name on the attraction marquee is "Toy Story Midway Mania!". If Disney Parks decides to revise the entrance marquees to remove "Midway", then we can make the change.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 04:24, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Switching to "Toy Story Mania" 

message: The Mr. Potato Head image is getting pushed down the article by the infoboxes. Can someone take a look at the coding to see how we can get it to sit back where it's supposed to be? I'm not sure how to get it to look properly, so hopefully someone with more image knowledge can. Thanks.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 16:14, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: As Midway is filing for bankrupcy will this affect the attraction in any way? --TimothyJacobson (talk) 21:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As Midway Games has no connection whatsoever to this attraction, I'd say probably not.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 22:59, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

text: What is a Midway then?  Always thought it was a brand name?  (Am British and the term isn't in common parlance in UK)--TimothyJacobson (talk) 23:11, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Try this article, and it should answer your question, I think.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 23:18, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  Much clearer now--TimothyJacobson (talk) 15:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bankrupcy

message: Do we need to have the number of audio-animatronics listed in the template. I don't see that on other pages for rides like this and the number of them lists only one (Mr. Potato Head) so I think could possibly be removed. trainfan01  —Preceding undated comment added 01:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I took a look and while I agree there was some redundant information in the infoboxes, I think having this bit of info appear once isn't that much of a problem. If it appeared in all three, then it should indeed have been removed from two of them. In the case of multiple copies of the same attraction, usually the first infobox (representing the first installation of said attraction) is the most complete. Other opinions?  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 03:50, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
