[edit] Page move

I request that this page be moved to its correct title. IMDb has it listed under this name, so should we. -- Ianblair23 00:20, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

It was suggested that this article should be renamed Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. The vote is shown below:

• Agree, this move should be done.Gateman1997 00:35, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Agree. Unlike some information at IMDb, titles seem to be more accurately registered there than any other convenient source I've ever found. I think any other title than the canonical IMDb one should require justification. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:25, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Agree. It does not go to the wikiquote page without the colon.

I'm a bit concerned about this move. Does the Wiki software support this sort of move? – AxSkov (☏) 08:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

How do you mean "support"? If you mean "does the Move function allow it directly" (given the existing history at the target page), the answer is "no", but there is a formal process to overcome this inconvenience that also ensures the page history for both articles is recorded for GFDL purposes. I assume that, since it requires some effort, this is why we are supposed to call for a consensus, so sysops doesn't waste their time doing something that will have to be undone later. If you mean "does the Wiki software allow a title with a colon in it that doesn't represent a namespace", the answer is "yes" (see 2001: A Space Odyssey). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:56, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 21:10, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Utterly utterly tiny insignificant anal retentive thing, but "It's later learned that Dan Marino was about to be kidnap and join with Snowflake." you missed a "ped" at the end of kidnap.

[edit] Removal of Quotes section.

I have decided to be bold and remove the section on Quotes. My reasons for doing so:

• The list is rather fan-crufty.
• Those quotes are actually copyrighted.
• They are of little to absolutely nothing of encyclopedic value.
• Not written in a formal/encyclopedic style.

If someome has any ideas or suggestions on opposing this, please, by all means, share your thoughts. I thought I'd rather bring this discussion up first before removing it without an explanation. Thank you! ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 07:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

If you want to put up quotes, just use wikiquote 68.76.218.65

[edit] Jim Carrey and Cannibal Corpse

"Jim Carrey opted to put his favorite band, Cannibal Corpse, into the movie..." While I don't deny the presence of Cannibal Corpse in the movie, is it verifiable that they're Jim Carrey's favorite band and that he "opted" to add them? Lizardking42 08:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ray Finkle

Hey, I noticed a big problem with the Ray Finkle page. The article makes many false claims about the former Dolphin kicker Ray Finkle. When I clicked on "Discussion" to falsify these claims I was 'redirected' to this page about a fictional character named Ace Ventura. What is going on here? Must we create a new Ray Finkle acticle which lists the facts? Sadly his career ended prematurely in the Super Bowl when Dan Marino messed up in spotting the snap, leaving the laces "in", and thus causing the ball to go wide of the goal-post and the Dolphins lost the Super Bowl. Even this article seems to leave out some of the basics about Finkle's outstanding career. -Soccer style kicker, graduated from Collier High, June 1976, Stetson University Honors Graduate, 1980, former holder of two NCAA records, one for the longest kick, one for the most points in a season, formerlly nicknamed "the mule", the only professional athlete to ever come out of Collier County and one hell of a model American. -Teetotaler

[edit] Testicle Tuesday

From where did Jim Carey got this phrase? Axxn 19:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ray Finkle article deletion

Is the Ray Finkle article really necessary? Pretty much everything you find on that page is right here and here. Plus, not only that, the character is non-notable. I say we nominate it for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.34.217.222 (talk) 23:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Never mind. I redirected it to this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.34.217.222 (talk) 23:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References

Other Jim Carrey's films make reference to the Ace Ventura films, for instance, there's a scene in Ace Venturs were Jimmy Hoffa is mentioned, and in Bruce all mighty, the find Jimy Hoffa's body. Both Ace and The riddler (played by Carrey) are afraid of Bats. The same species of Ace's monkey Appear in Bruce All Mighty. and the scene in Ace ventura 2 were Ace moves his eyebrows to the beat, he does the same in Irene, Me, and Myself. Should something of this be mentioned in the article?--Fandangox (talk) 03:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
