message: There was no information on the 90s tv show mentioned here, in fact the article implied that claymation show from 2003 was the first appearance of Miffy on tv. This is not the case, so I corrected it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.203.75 (talk) 05:36, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi. I just want to clarify with you something.  Miffy's Dutch name, "nijntje", is almost never capitalised. Dick Bruna never even put her name on or in his books with a capital N: it was a shortened form of Konijntje (the diminutive of Rabbit, so "little rabbit").  If I may, I'll refer you to the text on capital letter usage from the equivalent article on the Dutch Wikipedia, :nl:nijntje - 
"Hoofdlettergebruik
In het oeuvre van Bruna worden consequent geen hoofdletters gebruikt, ook waar dat volgens de gangbare spellingsregels wel zou moeten. Namen in de nijntje-verhalen, inclusief de naam "nijntje" zelf, worden dus ook standaard met kleine letter geschreven."
"Capital letter usage
In Bruna's work, capital letters are consistently not used, even where this should be done according to normal spelling rules.  Names in the nijntje stories, including the name "nijntje" itself, are therefore written with a small letter by default.
Is it permissible in the article to change references, like the one at the start, so that her name is properly spelled?  Thanks! Dane|Geld 14:51, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
