[edit] Proportion

There should be a section about how Clifford is sometimes as big as a two story house and the next minute he's eight feet tall. His size constantly varies and it's annoying as hell 4.143.238.21 (talk) 22:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Bill

[edit] This page vs Clifford the Big Red Dog (TV series)

Is there a need for a seperate page for the TV series? Most of this article is actually about the TV series (e.g. voice actors), so if we are maintaining two seperate pages, this content should be moved to the newer page.

I believe that at least 8 of the pages that link here are to do with the TV series.

I'd vote to keep the books and the series as one page.

--JimmyTheWig 10:06, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Redirected. BillyH 14:19, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

I found this article more focused on the TV series than the books. :( Dunro 03:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to rewrite this page because some of the grammar didn't make any sense. 01/08/05

[edit] Wikify tag

Why has this got a Wikify tag? I realise that there aren't any links in the "Cast" section, but what could be linked from there? Sheriff, maybe, but that's about it.

I'd vote to remove the tag.

--JimmyTheWig 12:00, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

It looks like Lucky 6.9 agrees with me, as they removed the tag. --JimmyTheWig 08:11, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

• I wouldn't worry about the tag. Maoririder tags just about everything he's ever edited. I have my doubts about whether he really understands the purpose of such tags. Soltak 21:57, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More about the books, please!

It would be great if someone could write some details about the books. Bridwell's deadpan sense of humor is quite different from the way his characters were used in the series. Michael Kinyon 14:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I hate this show!

This show totally sucks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.141.176 (talk) 20:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

And since no one really cares, this topic will stay whether you like it or not. So stop saying stuff like that. TechMath (talk) 20:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This has to stop.

Someone is messing this article up. (S)He is putting absurd dates and incorrect/made-up actors. And the place is not Mars either. TechMath (talk) 20:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

• Fixed it. In the future, should you want to fix it yourself, here's how: go to the last un-screwed-up version of the article, and make sure it's the one you want kept (the pre-mess one). In the edit summary, put "rvv" (for "reverted vandalism", assuming that's what you did!) and tjen click SAVE. Presto--instant VandalBeGone! :) Gladys J Cortez 23:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episodes

I removed the list of episodes and placed below. They were placed in a bad location, but even more are they even necessary to the page? The list does not add info that helps develop an understanding of the show. Jons63 (talk) 20:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I think episode lists are helpful--at least, as a stepping-stone to actual episode SUMMARIES, which are better still. Since so many summaries on WP are copyvios, however, I'm currently up to my eyeballs dealing with rewrites of existing summaries; once my personal to-do list of those are done, I'll happily move on to creating summaries for newly-added lists.

I'm content to leave this list here til then, however, largely since you were kind enough to put it somewhere safe and to actually TALK about your objections instead of just deleting it and giving no reason.:) (Hey, you know, if you've got nothing to do, YOU could start working on an episode summary...hmm? Whaddya say??? :) )Gladys J Cortez 00:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I would not be able to do that, even if I had the time. I have never seen the show and really am not interested in the show at all. I think WP:TW:Twinkle add this to my watch list when I was recent change patrolling and reverted some vandalism. Jons63 (talk) 18:19, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
