Merge proposal

Klunk's article should be merged here. WP:N states Minor characters (and places, concepts, etc.) in a work of fiction should be merged with short descriptions into a "List of characters." This list should reside in the article relating to the work itself, so this merge is in line with that policy. Pufnstuf 19:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I've merged it here now. Ironically there was more information about Klunk in this article than in his own anyway. Pufnstuf 20:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Episodic Mismatch

In the DVD extract, the column named "Ep #" says 35, whereas this series clearly has only 17 episodes as mentioned earlier in the article and can be seen on the DVD cover.

Seconded. I have the DVDs which have only 17 episodes. Where did 34 episodes come from? Were the episodes remixed later? Groovyspaceman (talk) 19:35, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Running gag

One teaser shows all the Vulture planes coming at Yankee Doodle Pigeon from 4 different directions-only to crash together-pigeon unharmed! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.53.145.53 (talk) 02:35, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gunga Din

I seem to remember the "Gunga Din" part, from screenings in New Zealand - was this change made only for some stations in the US? The article seems to imply it was a global change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.93.18.108 (talk) 14:51, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines.jpg

Image:Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

If inclusion in an article on Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines is not sufficient grounds for fair use of an image called Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines.jpg, please somebody tell me what is?

Known as "Stop/Catch the Pigeon"

The article says:

The show is commonly known as Stop/Catch the Pigeon

That seems rather unlikely, because "Stop/Catch the Pigeon" is such a strange thing to say. It is not a normal English sentence. Does anyone know the show as "Stop/Catch the Pigeon"? I can imagine that the show is commonly known as "Stop the Pigeon" or "Catch the Pigeon" and that the editor of this Wikipedia article tried to combine that into one title, thus writing incorrect information. But I could be wrong about that.

I did a Google search and found about 10,000 hits for both "Stop the Pigeon" and "Catch the Pigeon", and only 190 hits for "Stop/Catch the Pigeon."

Based on that evidence, I think it is more likely that "Stop the Pigeon" and "Catch the Pigeon", are common titles than that "Stop/Catch the Pigeon" is a common title. I am going to change the information in the article, but please check if I'm correct. Johan Lont (talk) 13:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the UK, the show was commonly referred to either as 'Dastardly and Muttley' or 'Stop That Pigeon'. The latter phrase is, as noted during the article, the title of the theme song and of a segment of Episode 5 of the show. Grubstreet (talk) 09:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whose side are Dastardly's gang on anyway?

I know it's not the right section to ask this, but I don't know where exactly the right section is. Anyway, I was wondering who they're actually working for since the Yankee Doodle Pigeon is supposedly American, and the good guy, whereas they are the villains, and work for some general. What kind of general is he? If I remember correctly, he did appear in one episode making a video of their work, but he looked like a stereotypical American general. Are they WWI spies for the Germans? It's always puzzled me really.--92.114.148.141 (talk) 22:05, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
