I managed to find this archive : https://web.archive.org/web/20071018054247/https://hroman.wordpress.com/2007/04/24/the-land-before-time-and-the-toronto-raptors/

Hroman.wordpress is for some reason linked on multiple character articles with the explanation "Fans compare The Land Before Time‍ '​s core characters (with the exception of Cera) to the Toronto Raptors basketball team"

This is for some reason listed as a reference for "and by fans", but there is no mention of the nicknames it supports. It's pointless.

I'm thinking I should next remove this "official website" silliness.

What the site was is never specified. We should have an official website article if that was actually a thing.

I've seen reference so a supposedly official site which turned out not to be. Very skeptical of this.

3 years after Journey of the Brave was released, Universal Animation Studios is releasing another feature-length hand-drawn Animated film: https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/CURIOUS-GEORGE-ROYAL-MONKEY-Arrives-on-DVD-Digital-910-20190724.

Maybe we’ll see some sort of a The Land Before Time Trailer in the previews... but anywho, Universal Animation is coming back after a 3-year hiatus.

I'm afraid Universal is not going to make any more Land Before Time movies, not my fanfic or any more sequels. I'm sorry to tell you all that.

Me and Nano Have Considered That We Should Not Use Fan Made Type Names for Articles

Also With Mrs Mama Becoming Her Credited Name of Diplodocus Mom, We Should Make The VI Allosaurus and The III Velociraptors "Allosaurus (Secret of Saurus Rock)" and "Velociraptor Pack (The Time of Great Giving)"

Should We Furlough Fanmade Terms or Keep Them

This is the final round of the debacle over Screech and Thud's species (until we actually find out what they are); however, this thread does not stem from simple desire to make them Velociraptor - this is influenced by Hypnobrai pointing out that our current system for identifying species is flawed, and that it is most parsimonious to make them either Velociraptor or nonspecific dromaeosaurs in tandem with what we currently know about the series; that comment that sparked this can be found here:

https://landbeforetime.fandom.com/wiki/Screech_and_Thud#comm-94826

This time around, there are only two options; Velociraptor (the only confirmed canon dromaeosaur genus, suggested by something a user once said about the defunct TV series website) and "unidentified dromaeosaur"; no options for Utahraptor, Achillobator, Deinonychus or any other dromaeosaurs will be entertained, for the sake of parsimony.

The results will be tallied in 30 7 days.

EDIT: Change of plans; the results will be tallied late on 3/30/19.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of the original 1988 The Land Before Time film! This is the thread to celebrate.

To begin, what was your most memorable moment related to The Land Before Time?

https://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:TOR/Join_us_in_protecting_the_freedom_of_user-generated_content

Let me explain in a short paragraph.

Basically, this article by the E.U. will take away the rights to upload copyrighted content and censor the communities. It will affect everyone on FANDOM globally, which includes this wikia!

Take action! Spread the word! Prevent this article from being passed!

I got to thinking, perhaps we should have "Guest character day" where we have:  

1.)  Etta 

2.)  Ali

3.)  Tippy 

4.)  Guido 

5.) Mo

6.) Wild Arms 

7.)  Rhett 

8.) Dana  and Dinah

9.) Tricia

10.)  Pterano 

11.) Hyp, Nod, and Mutt

Or at least some combination of 7 chracters from the above to replace the normal Gang of Seven.  

He was calling other users "wankers" and was going on and on about the Jurassic Park Wiki ban and being very arrogant on the issue.   (Plus, I'd heard that he'd had issues before with other users on various things and was being very arrogant about those too.)

So he was given a week's ban for "conduct unbecoming of an admin".  

Hopefully this ban will bring him back to his senses.   If he still doesn't get it or undoes the ban, then we may well have to consider having Wikia demote him.

(BTW, normally I'd probalby give a regular user a short 1-3 day ban for what he just did, but since he's an admin, he got it harsher for setting a bad example.  It would not look good for our wiki's reputation if we just let admins insult users like that without taking action.)

I didn't want to have to do this, but I feel he's leaving us no choice.   

Currently, we can the following are labeled as "ongoing", or I believe so:

Littlefoot

Cera

Ducky

Petrie

Spike

Grandpa Longneck

Grandma Longneck

Topps

Mama Swimmer

Mama Flyer

I'm going to poll on the status of the following: Chomper,Ruby, Tria, Tricia, Bron, and Shorty.  (Shorty's non-appearance in XIV was a mystery and he is likely to appear again in the future if Bron reappears, which is also likely.)

Chomper status vote:

Ruby status vote:

Bron status vote:

Tria status vote:

Tricia status vote:

Shorty status vote:

The reason I put these guys in here for special consideration is because, well, a few reasons:

1.) Tria and Bron are parental figures, so their likelihood of returning is much higher than other characters.

2.) Tricia is a sibling of Cera's so her liklihood of returning is also higher.

3.)  Shorty was adopted by Bron, and, while his nonappearance in XIV is a  mystery, his chances of reappearing in a future release that has Bron in it is also high.

4.) Chomper  and Ruby are part of the Gang of Seven and, apart from Ruby's absense in Great Egg Adventure, both have appeared faithfully in all releases of the TV Series and Journey of the Brave.  So them returning for something or other is also quite high.

Ignore the overly dramatic title, I couldn't think of anything better.

As we all know, Ducky and her family (sans Spike) resemble Saurolophus; most strikingly, their beaks are wide and their crests are small and straight. However, most official sources classify her as Parasaurolophus, a creature that is also depicted in the series, and does not resemble Ducky's species too greatly.

However, I realized something yesterday; though we have materials that are readily available that refer to her as Parasaurolophus, we have no material available that more reasonably calls her Saurolophus (an excerpt claiming that she was identified as one on a sing-along tape is unsourced and does not count as a result). With this in mind, we should, regardless of whether or not Ducky resembles a Parasaurolophus, identify her as one in light of what we have; however, I've decided to do something different.

Ducky's Saurolophus classification will stay in place unchallenged until one month from now; if someone can find an official source, either from a Universal website, a DVD box or the aforementioned sing-along tape, Ducky and her family will stay Saurolophus. If no written material from Universal is found that supports her current classification when the deadline arrives, she and her family will be made into Parasaurolophus without any polls to gauge opinions beforehand.

TL;DR If you want to see Ducky's current classification as a Saurolophus survive into April, you better start looking for written sources from official sources (no Wikipedia, no IMDb, etc.).

Jack himself may just be annoying with his 110+ accounts.   However, I noticed that Lio's block is set to expire in about two months.  Hopefully, he's changed.  But it has crossed my mind that he may not have, and that, furthermore, he might see all these Jack threads and realize that we have no practical way to IP block and hence take advantage of it.   

He certainly realized that, before we finally nailed him, there was no acting admin to ban him and was a thorn in our side for a couple of months until Peenut and I were made admins and could deal with him.  I wouldn't put it past him to find the Jack stuff and realize that IP bans aren't working at the moment.  

While Jack doesn't appear to do more than rant about his fanfiction, a troll/spamlord could really wreck havoc on the forums and we'd have to play whack-a-mole to get all the accounts to stop the vandalism.  

Now, some like Claire will go away after we ban a few accounts that they make, but, on the other hand, others like Lio may get a kick out of us chasing all their accounts and trying to stop them.  

If, however, it's seen that we can, if need be, do an IP block if need be, would-be-trolls may back off and not try it.

I did think that, as I posted on the most recent Jack thread, that a direct IP ban (that uses his actual IP address) and using the correct paramaters might close the loopholes that Jack is using.  And if we can get Jack, we can be ready to do the same if Liopleudorons or some other troll attacks the Wiki with multiple accounts.
