Talk:Donkey Kong

I think this article has too much to do with the game, Donkey Kong, and not enough to do with the character. Does the lawsuit about the arcade game really matter in the Donkey Kong article? Waluigi Freak 99 09:35, 14 October 2006 (EDT)
 * Some of the info, mainly under Sequels and spin-offs, needs to be moved to the arcade game. ayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) http://www.mariowiki.com/images/2/24/Wayoshisig.png 11:32, 14 October 2006 (EDT)

Merge
Why would you merge a character with a game? They both deserve their own articles. -- Steve (talk) 12:00, 14 October 2006 (EDT)

Question
If his Mario Baseball bio names Cranky as the original DK, doesnt that prove it? - User: Ultimatetoad

Well either way, Does'nt it prove that this DK is NOT the original? - User: Ultimatetoad


 * The biography that is written in this article may have been written incorrectly. Can someone check the game and see if it says "Cranky Kong" or just "Donkey Kong's ancestor"? Regardless, the game indicates that the current DK is not the original DK. -- Son of Suns

Theeeeeeeeeeeen, Shouldnt we make three articles? One for the original DK, one for Cranky Kong, and one for the modern DK? - User: Ultimatetoad


 * Ummm...no. Cranky Kong is most likely the original Donkey Kong. Any info about Donkey Kong should be placed in this article, but mention that the mantle of "Donkey Kong" was passed on to Donkey Kong Jr. (likely the modern Donkey Kong). -- Son of Suns

O.K., I did a little reworking to the article. - User: Ultimatetoad

"sigh" sorry. I misunderstood you. So to make sure I 'Don't now, should I delete the original DK info from Cranky Kong? - User: Ultimatetoad


 * Well, we can make a short summary of that, as Cranky is most likely the original DK. However, that paragraph should direct us to the Donkey Kong page (like the Baby Mario section of the Mario article redirects to Baby Mario). -- Son of Suns

Boxart
Ok whoever is deleting the boxart could you please stop? I'm tired of reposting them over and over again. --Taj The Genie 22:14, 28 January 2007 (EST)

Ok that's it
Once I get all the pictures back this article needs to be locked! I'm sick of posting these pictures over and over again and they keep getting deleted by a vandal! So please lock this article when all the pictures are back up. --Taj The Genie 22:39, 28 January 2007 (EST)
 * Its me who is deleting the pics. they are of Kiddy, Diddy, and Dixie. No revelence to DK. Find artwork of DK from those games and then we will keep'em. -- 22:43, 28 January 2007 (EST)

Yes and he is NO vandal. Also the boxart doesn't look so good... Paper Jorge

Ok I get it give it a rest. And it's not all about how the picture looks. --Taj The Genie 22:49, 28 January 2007 (EST)
 * thepics look great, but Dk isn't the center of the image, its dk's article, not the others' -- 22:51, 28 January 2007 (EST)

Who's moving the Kongs picture to the New Quest section? It belongs in the Back in the Spotlight section, so whoevers moving it could you please stop? --Taj The Genie 22:55, 28 January 2007 (EST)


 * First of all, please use the correct image placement. thumb|left or right|description . Note that using pixel sizes are only on a few exceptions. The images in the article are getting too big, aren't they? Plus, be sure that the pic is relevant to the character and section you are placing it in. And try to get DK in alone, not surrounded by the other kongs.
 * Second, boxart should Never be in a character article. If you can't find a pic for the section, just leave it alone.
 * Third (and unrelated), why is the Donkey Kong in the biography section? Should be under other events.

ummm...sorry, but I started to move boxart to this page. It was back when it needed more images. I added the one with DK (The original DKC) to the page. I did'nt mean for other boxart to be used. so...sorry. - User: Ultimatetoad

Too Many Images
There are too many images in the biography section, cluttering up the words. I was trying to warn all of you of this... 12:48, 29 January 2007 (EST)

I noticed that aswell, I think maybe one or two should be removed. -- Sir Grodus

The pics could work if there were more text in the sections, I will put them back after I rework this article. The article has too much information about the games and not enough about his adventures.

Artwork
I think we should stop changing the artwork and just stick with the we have now.--Taj The Genie 19:26, 25 February 2007 (EST)

What do we need to do to make this article better?
Many people want this article rewritten and lot's of us are doing what we can. So what can we do to make this a better article? --Taj The Genie 02:34, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
