Talk:Pet Turtle

Wiki rules. "While contributing to the wiki, it is possible that a user may disagree with how the information on a certain page is presented. It is expected that the two users will reach a consensus when they are in disagreement by using a talk page rather than constantly editing and/or reverting changes. " I request that whoever is trying to push that this is an MLP:FiM reference and those who say against it solve it here. As per the wiki rules. Same goes for other pages. Solve it in the talk page instead of edit warring. --72.83.33.87 00:37, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

There's really nothing else to say on the most recent edits. He needs to provide a source that it's been "proven" not to be a reference. I'm going to put a request to lock the page since he's not even putting information in his edit summery, let alone on this talk page. --71.55.136.208 00:43, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Subsequent deletions of the trivia part about MLP:FIM will be considered vandalism until someone brings a strong evidence it isn't, then the trivia should become "though it shares a strong resemblance with MLP's character Tank, it has been proven not to be a reference to it". There has already been multiple references to MLP in Terraria and the fact that this turtle is a reference to Tank is frankly quite obvious (especially because even though I hate MLP, I have to admit this is true).

I don't think you can say it 'will be considered vandalism'. The page now states that it is a reference, when that has yet to be proven. As far as other MLP references, the only one verified (as far as I know) is a singular name for the Party Girl. Honestly I think this is best placed at References, to make it easier to distinguish constructive edits from troll/vandal/fanboy edits. At the very least this page (and the named and anonymous editors of this page) should not present a theory as a fact until confirmed by a source. What do you think?

I changed the fact to an assumption, matching the wikia page. I also undid your removal of the tortoise fact but don't know if it really matters as a trivia fact. The guy who wrote that first was right : a tortoise is not the same as a turtle, the first has feet where the latter has fins. Fegazeus (talk) 20:37, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

I noticed it's always the same guy (24.107.115.51) who's always removing the MLP trivia. If he could be so kind to put a link to where he saw the "confirmed not being a MLP reference" thing so that we can put it either in this talk page or on the actual page in a hidden annotation.

To be fair, you don't have any confirmation that it is a reference. So far it's only one person (you) to keep adding it back in. I honestly don't understand how someone can get so invested in having a one-sentence MLP reference on a random wiki page for a game completely unrelated.

I didn't know about that tortoise named "Tank" before coming to that specific wiki page like a week or two ago. When I first came to this page, I saw the MLP reference and was ready to delete it myself but I decided to check for that "Tank" character before. And it is amazing how it exactly looks like the Pet Turtle from Terraria. Even I -again, not a MLP fanboy- admit it. I mean, you only need EYES to see they're the same.
