Talk:U.B. Funkeys

message: My intention was to explain a new toy and what it offers for children and parents for today.  There are already plenty of "older" toys explained and I thought the explanation of a "new" toy would help allow people to get a better understanding of how toys have changed and how they are differnt for today's youth.  I intend on re-writing  this page so it doesn't sound like spam.  Advertising was not my intention.  Thank you. David M. Sharp 16:50, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So noted. I have removed the speedy-delete tag and replaced it with an  tag to gove you more time. The article may be just a little too detailed for such a new product that hasn't yet established a critical mass among the public. The main thing you need are citations from independent, reliable sources that are about the subject. To start, a Good ol' Google search is always a good step. I did it out of curiosity about this new toy (yeah, you got me interested!), and found an article in the New York Times that would certainly qualify as a reliable source. I found a few others, too, but I'll leave those to you as a bit of an exercise. And also see WP:CITE on the way to cite those sources in your article. Let me know if you need help.

thread_title: intention

message: The comercial mentions that some are rarer than others. I want to get by little brother one for his birthday, so I came here for a list of them and how rare they are. I don't want to be taken advantage of on ebay with sellers claiming "The only one on Ebay, EXTREMELY RARE and HTF".

thread_title:  Why I looked Funkeys up on wikipedia 

message: I have the complete collection of funkeys and today looking for some information I came across this page. I saw that it was in need of revision and decided to lend a hand. Basically complete the missing information about all the models with characteristics, colors and rarity. also a few minor revisions to make it sound more informative and less "please buy me"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.187.162.236 (talk) 05:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  I made a few corrections 

message: My child had been bugging me for WEEKS to go to U.B. Funkeys' website. He wouldn't let it drop, so I wanted to find out exactly what had captivated his entire class at school. (Of course, I had to figure out the correct spelling of Funkeys, which took awhile since I hadn't seen an ad.) When I finally googled the right name, I got the web site and the Wiki site among the results. The Wiki post gave me the information I needed (RE: COLOR CHART) to get a handle on the availability of the different characters. You can't always believe your kid when he says something is "rare". 
I edited the article because of grammatical errors and readability issues (which are also prominent on the website, but I can't correct those, now, can I?).
I think the color chart should stay. Like someone else mentioned, it is a boon to parents who don't have the time to drive from Toys R Us to Wal-Mart to Target to Kohl's to see what's available. Whoever stripped this page must not have a ten year old tugging on his/her shirt every thirty minutes regaling the appeal of Funkeys collection. I've started gathering Funkeys as I come across them for Christmas, birthdays, etc. I'm just glad I copied the chart before it was removed. It's been a huge help to be able to flip to it and keep tabs of what I have. It also makes it a lot easier to ask someone in another town to look for a specific color/race than to have them call you if they come across any and all Funkeys.
It just makes Christmas shopping a little easier.

replies: text: The worst part is trying to get the right one without him knowing about it. If I asked him about them, that would ruin the surprise. So that table was the only place , I had to turn to. I finally decided on getting a white stich and a white/black one of those with the mask. Now I just have to find them. I haven't found either one yet , but atleast since I saw the table, I know what I'm looking for (FINALLY!). --JRTyner 01:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The price has recently dropped to be more competitive for the Holiday_season. Your best bet is to check Amazon.com and to swing by your local walmart, target, kmart, or other supercenter. --MahaPanta 22:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I added the peer review tag because this page has been expanded, edited, reduced, then almost deleted twice for lack of content. There is plenty of good content available, but sometimes it's added in ways that other people don't like, and is deleted. We need to start editing more to improve the page. Basically we need to use this talk page more and discuss how we can edit something to make it useable instead of just deleting it. --MahaPanta 14:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fair use rationale 

message: Apparently there are updates to the game zones, characters, features, etc.  It would be good if someone would find a source and write it up.  But lots of anons keep making uncommented changes without a source, and the citation that's there contradicts those changes, so I keep reverting them.  I have nothing against getting the right data into the article, but citing a source and saying something it contradicts is not the way to go.  Dicklyon (talk) 20:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
