Talk:Gargoyle
I thought Wikipedia topics were to go to disambiguation pages. I came here for the Gargoyles TV series, which has a huge base. Now I have to try to URL-guess to get to this? (That failed.) Fortunately I know the creator of the TV show is named Greg Weisman, and could get to the show via his page, but this is really ridiculous -- There should be a ***** disambiguation page here! 68.167.161.182 (talk) 17:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[[ If you get the information from a source as far back as 1911, do you need to mention it-Adrian?
- The age of the material means it is in public domain and there are no copyright issues at question. But intellectual honesty requires you to cite such sources: if you use a source for information that is not common knowledge and do not cite it, you commit plagiarism, regardless of the age of the material. -- Someone else 07:37 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Put the information about Disney's 'Gargoyles' on the page 'Gargoyles'. Since a gargoyle, and the series distinct, they can safely belong on seperate pages.Skybunny 23:44, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Perhaps I'm just making this up, but I'm pretty sure I heard this somewhere — doesn't "gargoyle" also refer to as some sort of mythical birdlike creature, capable of turning itself into stone? also i heard that when a gargoyl has sex withh another its baby is born stone and urns to life whan fully immersed in pure fresh water?

Speaking Abilities
I'm not sure if this is true but I've heard that it was also believed that gargoyles could speak when water ran out of their mouths, part of the reason they are used as gutters on ornate buildings.
Gargoyles in fiction
or perhaps Gargoyles in popular culture would get my vote. Carptrash 23:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Question
Are gargoyles historically oriented specifically, like towards a particular cardinal direction? I'm hoping someone has something better than 'east...yada yada...sunrise' unless, of course that is the case
- It is not unusual to find a tower on a building with gargoyles pointing it all directions. Many buildings, if you walk around]] them, will reveal gargoyles pointing in at least four directions. Carptrash 05:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
what if they are not ment to be fiction Melissa.D usa
- Do you mean, "What if they represent real beings" or something like that? Carptrash 14:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
It looks as if architectural gargoyles have finally seperated from . . ..... those others
and this is (opinion) a good thing. There has been a ton of literature published about gargoyles in the last decade or two and I am wondering if these titles should be included here even if they are not sources. Or, do I need to drag a quote from each of them to justify a book's inclusion? Carptrash 18:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
I 'm not sure what this is about
so I moved it here. Spellcheck wiuld be a start, but probably not enough to get this put back. Any thoughts? Carptrash 13:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Gargoyles in ESLA
For a long time Gargoyles has been a mith, today we can admit that Gargoyles are True.
It was on the Autumn of the 2006 year when a man called Federico Gallo arrived to ESLA. ESLA was a pacific place where little birds could fly, the butterflies filled the room... After Federico´s arrival ESLA became a place of darknes, all the birds died, butterflies turned from red and oranges to dark gray and black and a music saiyng: "Wonder Boy... Tell me what´s the secret of your power" could be heard everywhere. From that day on everything became fantastic...
2006 is now known as year zero of the Gargoyle Era... Now the precursor is gone, and the gargoyle lineage will mourn him, but we will always remember the proud origins of the Gargoyle Team. Most consider him an icon. Some will remember him as a friend. But no one will forget.
