Talk:Bigfoot in popular culture

separate article for beef jerky ad

edit

Can the Messin with Sasquatch be separated into it's own article? It's a well known thing, and I think if it has it's own aricle, it could have more info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.110.245.187 (talk) 15:07, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Quick Cleanup

edit

The complaint that this page is "just a bunch of loosely related trivia references" has been made repeatedly in the article for deletion. In an effort to satisfy some of the complaints, I've done a quick cleanup, removing the references that I thought were only loosely related (e.g. a single episode of a TV show). I left most of the borderline material intact. --xDanielxTalk 08:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good job. Looks great! – Dreadstar 06:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Porn vs Bigfoot

edit

Several porn sites, etc. mention in the fiction section about people having sex with Bigfoot and are very explicit. Can this be mentioned ? One notorious site is Literotica.com/Sci_Fi and Literotica/Non_Human. This describes that kind of thing. Someone referred ME to this matter. 65.163.115.114 (talk) 21:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • I killed the section as utterly useless. I don't believe every single piece of information needs 3 sources, but at the same time there has to be some information given, not just a few weasel words. If no one is prepared to give specific examples, then the section has to go. 23skidoo (talk) 13:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Removing certain items

edit

Hi. Does anyone object to the removal of items only loosely related to Bigfoot? Some of the films, TV shows, and games are in that category. I've gone ahead and removed the most glaring examples. Regards, ClovisPt (talk) 21:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have no problems with the removal of items with a tenuous connection to Bigfoot. —Fiziker t c 22:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Laws

edit

I made one addition to laws, this short piece- Bigfoot in popular culture would be better combined with Bigfoot.--Timpicerilo (talk) 01:19, 17 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I suggest you take a look at Talk:Bigfoot/Archive 5#Bigarticle, where the splitting of this article from Bigfoot was discussed. The article was too large due to information that wasn't directly relevant. Some of that information was moved here. I also suggest you take a look at the article prior to the split. I don't see a reason to merge these articles. —Fiziker t c 01:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Background

edit

The page needs some background material, a brief description of what Bigfoot is would be beneficial.--Timpicerilo (talk) 12:57, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I went ahead and added half a sentence from Bigfoot.Steve Dufour (talk) 14:27, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Television

edit

I don't know why there's no chapter for Bigfoot on television, since there are chapters in other formats. There have been TV episodes focusing on Bigfoot ranging from The Six Million Dollar Man to iCarly. ----DanTD (talk) 16:47, 1 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Questionable references in "Law" section

edit

The "Law" section cites "Pyle" and "Hunter and Dahinden" without giving dates, publication titles, places and formats of publication, or even the authors' full names. Are these real sources, or somebody's joke on Wikipedia? Plazak (talk) 19:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Real sources, but "Hunter and Dahinden" is well out of print and I couldn't find a copy online. I've provided a full reference for Pyle and removed the sentence that cited Hunter and Dahinden. --AntediluvianBlue (talk) 06:29, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

What belongs in this article?

edit

Why is the "Research" section in this article? It seems to me that this belongs in the main "Bigfoot" article. A "popular culture" artticle should cover fictional treatments, not research. Plazak (talk) 16:01, 9 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I moved it to the main article.--Timpicerilo (talk) 04:18, 22 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire

edit

The novel 'Discount Armageddon' by Seanan McGuire not only talks about Sasquatch, it mentions the Wikipedia page for it. Furthermore, Sasquatch's enjoy making changes to the article and seeing the human editors discuss it in the talk page section. Anywho, my point is such a meta reference in a popular author's book should be noted somewhere on -this- page. Lots42 (talk) 04:27, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
