message: There was inaccuracy in Don Rosa's story which mentioned Sultan Mangkunegara V as ruler of Djokja. I did some correspondence with Don Rosa himself by e-mail. The following quote was one of his earlier answer
: In fact, that Java story may have involved more research than anything I've ever done short of my Templar treasure stories. It involved research into Java history and customs, volcano facts and Krakatoa history, and even contacting Dutch translators to help me write out newspaper headlines and background store names.
: I just went and found the notebook filled with hundreds of facts and notes that I wrote during my research for that story. I see that I got the names of the sultans, and their photos, from an 1890's traveler's memoir titled ON THE SUBJECT OF JAVA. I see that the book stated that during 1861-1892 the Sultan of Surakarta (Solo) was Pakubuwana IX. And during 1881-1896 the Sultan of Djokjakarta was Mangkunagara V. I see my notes say he was the "res. sultan in Batavia"... if that means "resident sultan" which is different than the main sultan, I don't know. I also am at the mercy of the correctness of the books I get my facts from. I personally don't know who was the Sultan of Djokja in 1882, but the book I got from the history library at the University of Louisville said it was Mangkunagara V. 
Will it be matter if I just add the information? Kunderemp 19:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: "Usually, her stories show her interactions not with the Duck Clan, but with Goofy (the only exception are the stories Il dottor Paperus, parody of Goethe's Faust in '50s, and its sequel Paperino e il seguito della storia, published in 1999)". FALSE: Hazel appears in other duck stories:
*Paperino e l'aspirapolvere fatato (1956)
*Paperino il paladino: Hazel tells Donald the story of one of his ancestor, Donald the paladin.
*Paperin furioso: parody of Orlando furioso and sequel of Paperino il paladino, in this story Hazel decides to punish Donald and Gus for sleeping rather than helping Grandma Duck, by sending them in the past.
*She could appear in the other two stories of the Disney carolingian saga but I don't remember if so or not.
*I remember another story in which Hazel sends Scrooge in a future where the Earthlings are giants and one of these giants (an alter ego of Donald) tries to eat him. When Scrooge manages to return alive in the present, he beated down Donald because his future and giant version risked to eat him.

message: Why does Bucky Bug, a character who has appeared extremely seldom in any comic or TV show for the last half a century, get his own article, but John D. Rockerduck, who stars as the villain of at least one story in pretty much every issue of the Donald Duck pocket books, published in pretty much every European country, doesn't? I'm beginning to form a theory that English-speakers don't actually read any Disney comics any more. JIP | Talk 18:14, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article length 

message: I just wrote a brief section about Howard Rockerduck. I later saw that Wikipedia already had had an article about him, but it was changed into a redirect to this page. Oh well, I will have to see if I can merge the original text into mine. JIP | Talk 21:39, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Howard Rockerduck 

message: This article includes characters from three somewhat, but not entirely, different places: the original Disney cartoons, the comic books made from them (by Barks and Rosa, and the European authors), and the Darkwing Duck cartoons. I am starting to find it worrying that this article mixes them up so freely without mentioning that the three places form pretty much (if not entirely) distinct continua. Perhaps the article should be split to acknowledge this? If not into three subarticles, at least into three sections. JIP | Talk 21:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible split? 

message: How is Bolivar "unusual" in being a non-anthropomorphic animal? A Duck universe consisting mostly of anthropomorphic animals would equal a real-life universe consisting mostly of humans. The Duck universe is a caricature of the real-life universe, so it's natural that because animals exist in real life, their equivalents also exist in the Duck universe. Or are we going to write "ZOMG! I just saw an animal that wasn't anthropomorphic!!!!1111!!111" every time someone spots a bird flying in the sky in one panel of a Donald Duck comic? JIP | Talk 21:06, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bolivar 

message: This page is rated as a list on most of the quality scales, but the content is not that of a list. Many of the character descriptions include significant detail, and it is almost never sourced. A couple of examples:
- "Like Panchito Pistoles and José Carioca, the Aracuan Bird is primarily known only from these three films in the USA. However, he has found some success in comics from Brazil where he is known as Folião."
- "Launchpad is a slightly different character in Darkwing Duck. He is notably less competent and less of a man of action, perhaps to keep him from upstaging Darkwing."
- "Franco Fossati once defined him as '...a perfect character who with his innocence criticizes the absurdity of our society. Going on with time he will adequate to our times and to our every-day way of living and we'll forget that he came from space.' "
Sadly, I am nowhere near knowledgeable enough on the area to be able to improve the references myself. I have added the refimprove tag to the article, though. Dulkal (talk) 09:58, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Where am I supposed to list Howard Rockerduck, the father of John D. Rockerduck? Unlike his son, he's an honest an honourable businessman, but he's a blood relation to his more notorious son. JIP | Talk 16:55, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

message: It looks like that the Wikipedia community agrees that Nodalotaluk should be merged to this article. I'd go ahead and just do the merge, but there's one problem. The article about Nodalotaluk doesn't include a picture of her or describe her appearance. Neither does anything I found about her on Google (by far most of which is Wikipedia or its mirrors). The current version of this list article is organised by the characters' appearance. I have no idea where I should place Nodalotaluk into, as I have no idea what she looks like. JIP | Talk 18:44, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Such a funny problem! :-) While I haven't read this story, it appears the villagers descended from her are dogfaces. (Here is the link to the story on INDUCKS: The Amazon queen; see the Russian version page at the bottom.) However, Nodalotaluk is not listed as making an appearance, so maybe she is an unseen character. Pigby (talk) 19:39, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
