Changes: Jurassic Park Wiki:Control Room

Revision as of 05:56, 18 August 2008

First and foremost, it is important to note that this is a discussion page used to find out ways to improve the site. This page is not, under any circumstance, a forum for general discussion on Jurassic Park.

Also, all newer post should be posted at top so it will have a better chance of getting a response.

Dinosaur pictures ==

As with the human cast, the dinosaur cast should also have a picture in their respective infoboxes. However, I feel that if at all possible, it should be a picture of the dinosaur from the movie instead of a real world picture. Thoughts? --Vinny2 16:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Agreed though remember most of the dinosaurs never appeared in any of the films. Some were only in the novel and such. Maybe as long as we can find the same style that might be best instead? Like photograph or specific type of drawing or image - tho that seems unlikely. Id rather have them all like you said tho using the Film versions when we can but perhaps we can modify other pics to match the descriptions from the books and such? idk just brainstorming. tho maybe this is more of a focus for later on? information is prolly the topmost priority a.t.m so aslong as we have some kinda picture it seems fine for now. lol Cybermewtwo 05:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Dino info V Series info

I think all articles should take information only form the series canon, and information from real life should not be included.

I think so too. The problem is some real-world facts were mentioned by characters and so I don't know what was mentioned and what was not. If you do, please feel free to remove what was never stated. --Vinny2 18:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay. I think I've come up with a good idea. All dinosaur articles should contain about a sentence or two of real-world information unless the film or book canon directly contradicts it. How's about that? --Vinny2 01:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

How about if there are differences between the film and real world info, you note the difference as a JP-Genetic Enchancement or Variation (probably "Park Version Mods" or something along those lines, as the dinosaurs in the park were genetically altered and thus not necessarily the "real" thing due to errors in coding? I remember Henry Wu discussing this with Hammond in the novel. Cybermewtwo 18:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

If the differences are large enough (such as the size of a velociraptor as compared the real ones), then they can be mentioned. --Vinny2 16:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Or the Dilophosaurs normally being around the same size as the raptors and without the venum spitting ability or frill. Question is what do we use to distinguish the JP-genetic immitations vs the fossilized official "real" information? what do we call it? "JP Genetic Mistakes"? Cybermewtwo 05:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
