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 <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/75.68.22.207|75.68.22.207]] ([[User talk:75.68.22.207|talk]]) 06:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

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)[reply]

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

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

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)[reply]

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

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.

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]
