Uncyclopedia joke

Should we make a reference to the Uncyclopedia in-joke? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.68.52.133 (talk • contribs) 00:55, February 15, 2007 (UTC)

I don't think we should make a reference to that, despite how hilarious it is. Unless something pops up like "Fisher-Price in Pop Culture". (Kip the Dip 07:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Not to offend Kip the Dip or anything, but I, a devoted Uncyclopedian, would like to publicly apologize for the vandalism that seems to be happening to this page. I'm not totally familiar with WP's protection policies, but a semiprotection of this page may be a good idea. For anyone who's wondering why the page keeps being vandalized the exact same way, it might help to read this, this and this. 71.2.72.28 03:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the past Uncyclopedia related vandalisms on this page have been wiped from its history. I agree that this page does need some sort of protection however. A similiar thing happened to the Atlantic Records page after "Weird Al" Yankovic released his music video for "White & Nerdy". Why do people love to vandalize? Kip the Dip 08:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It gives them a sense of power, etc, and the fact that they're anonymous(Spelling is a bit =/) doesn't help either. Welcome to the internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.146.8 (talk • contribs) 08:08, June 6, 2007 (UTC)

I also feel that the joke should be referenced. Why not, right? I, too, apologize for uncyclopedian vandals. We can't help ourselves, we're retards. TheLedBalloon 03:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Believe, me, I'm the number one fan of Fisher Price. I have my copy of the book autographed (not by the author, but by some random bum on the street). But how on earth could we reference the joke in a toy company article? No, I don't think it would fit. Kip the Dip 15:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would be vandalism/copyright infringement if anyone other than 4.252.99.182 did it. And if he did it, we'd have to keep it. Because he is a literary genius. --Sir Crazyswordsman 11:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the Refrences section, we could just put "Fisher Price on Uncyclopedia, the free-content encyclopedia." There's our refrence right there, and it won't clog the page with non-corporation info. --Ye Olde Luke 18:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still, I strongly don't think we should reference ourself in this article, because it doesn't seem that significant to the subject. We had a hard enough time getting into the Oscar Wilde page. Kip the Dip 22:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, we shouldn't make a reference to it. That's like referring to Borat in the Kazakhstan article - inappropriate.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 11:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result of this discussion was merge into Fisher-Price. (no discussion) MuZemike (talk) 20:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Firehouse Rescue, Fisher Price: I Can Remember, and Perfect Fit be merged into this article. All three mentioned articles lack notability and are very short stubs at best. I feel that these articles can be better mentioned briefly here instead. Please discuss. MuZemike (talk) 23:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because I have forgotten to add the appropriate {{mergefrom-multiple}} notification on this article, I will keep this discussion open for five more days. If there is still no discussion by then about this merge proposal, it will automatically pass, and all three articles will be merged here. MuZemike (talk) 17:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Fisher Price in World War II

A notable feature of the growth of Fisher-Price Toys was the growth of the firm during World War Two, when they were able to produce wooden toys, rather than using metal that was diverted to the war effort.

A favorite toy from that period was the Snoopy Sniffer, which deserves mention both for the long run of the toy, it's brilliant design, being originally cut from a single piece of 2x4, and it's wartime popularity which gained Fisher-Price national standing in the consumer toy market.

Adventure People?

I have been pondering whether to write an article about FP's Adventure People. They Adventure People are absolutely one of my favorite toys ever (I spent millions of hours staging boxing fights between my figures and even had two-"Antonio Barbaroja" and "José Barbaroja"-nicknamed after me and my brother) and as you know I tend to write about things or people I have enjoyed or been a fan of. Because of recent articles of mine on VFD, however, for now at least it seems sensible to me that I should ask should I write it or not? before making an article. I don't know if they are notable enough for a stand-alone article and hope to hear your opinion on this matter. Thanks and God bless you! Antonio Barbaroja Martin (haw haw) 10:45, May 31, 2015 (UTC)

Fisher Price, Did They Make And ITunes

Tell Me Did Fisher Price Make A ITunes Album? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.107.69 (talk) 17:51, 2016 January 5 (UTC)

Infants and other children

If it's necessary for some reason to mention infants along with other children, then instead of just saying "infants and children," which is like saying infants are separate from children, even though they're not, because the definition of "children" is "a person between birth and full growth; a boy or girl," then can we simply add "other" to make it work?

If anyone opposes, then will you please give some of what you would believe to be concrete argument as to why a less accurate wording than what follows the definition is more appropriate for the encyclopedia than this?

Sincerely, 174.23.146.228 (talk) 16:58, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More information about Fisher Price?

Anyone else feel like this article is lacking in useful information about Fisher Price? I figured they'd have more here given their size. The first paragraph even looks bareboned. Can we add more to this article? BBFanToys (talk) 14:17, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fisher Price Cartoons

Does anyone know where there's a good list for all Fisher Price/Imaginext cartoons? I'm trying to find one in particular that's not one of their mainline series, but I can't remember the name. I'd ask a question about it here but I doubt that's not a good topic of discussion for a site that's trying to be informative. Triviatronic9000 (talk) 03:44, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
