Series Issues and Formatting

I'm not sure if they recently reorganised the titles into new series, but the Egmont website has some titles listed under different series than shown here. Ex. _Mr. Men: The Christmas Tree_ is here under "Specials" but Egmont has them listed under the "Celebrations" series and _Mr Nosey and The Giant_ is here under "Celebrations" but on Egmont under "Magic".

The formatting of the way the books are listed is really hard to follow, a lot of the older books we have aren't even listed in series when they were published and some of the versions on Amazon don't even mention the correct series. Would there be a better way to do this?

For instance, the Dr. Seuss Bibliography page has titles listed chronologically with year, publisher and notes. Perhaps we could include the series as a separate column and list the publication dates it was in said series in parenthesis or something?

I just imagine with them ramping up publications again this will get even more confusing going along in this format. Does it need a separate page even? Geekery (talk) 22:07, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the best solution would be to list the main series of books and then create a separate page to list all the books because there has been so many and this page is untidy --82.25.113.167 (talk) 12:33, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who

My understanding is the new Doctor Who-based series of books (the first set came out a couple of months ago, a second set comes out in August 2017 and a Christmas special was just announced for October release) are considered part of the Mr. Men franchise. Should they be listed too? I added a reference under Adam's section. 68.146.233.86 (talk) 13:37, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose to merge Mr. Men & Little Miss (film) into Mr. Men. There has been no mention of the film in the press since 2015, no release date has been announced, and the film has not even been given a title. The sources cited on the film page are extremely repetitive of each other, and they don't say much more than "this film is in development." Right now, the film article is made up of only seven sentences; this could easily be merged into the relevant section at the Mr. Men article (specifically Mr. Men#Film). In short, I don't see any value in keeping a standalone article for a film right now; the material could also be split out if and when more information is made available. Note that a couple of attempts were made to merge this page previously; these were reverted, so I'm setting out this discussion in order to try to find a consensus whether the stand-alone article should exist or not.

Withdrawn – article has been moved to draft namespace. Aoi (青い) (talk) 02:36, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Men film distribution

@HappyINC: As I told you previously, my issue with this edit here isn't whether Fox was acquired by Disney. Of course Fox was acquired by Disney. The issue is that there is zero evidence that there is even a movie for Disney to distribute. There has been zero things mentioned about this movie since 2015. The film may be in production; or it may not be. But we shouldn't assume that there is a movie for Disney to distribute when there has been nothing about the film; not a release date, not a director, not even a synopsis. Aoi (青い) (talk) 11:23, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoi: Yeah, But just because I need to source that Fox is still in production of the film, DOESN’T MEAN Walt Disney shouldn’t be added for distribution. And of course, everybody is too caught up about the Disney-Fox acquisition. Thanks, HappyINC (talk) 14:29, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Good

Mr Good lives in Badland. Why is it called that when it’s not badlands? Surely the people of Badland would never admit they were bad, so wouldn’t they call it something glorious? 14.202.191.4 (talk) 02:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
