Talk:Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious/Archive 3

Clarification Required

Not that I so much care, but Disney winning the copyright lawsuit on grounds of the word preexisting directly contradicts the song authors claims of coining the word from thin air. The article is locked, this should be made clear (obviously the article is wrong or the authors were dishonest and the article is therefor misleading) by an admin or whoever.--99.197.224.56 (talk) 12:11, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Suggested addition to the "In Popular Culture":

In the last episode of the TV-series 'The Vicar of Dibley' [1], we learn the full name of the main protagonist, the reverend Geraldine Granger : Geraldine Julie Andrews Dick Van Dyke Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Chim Chiminey Chim Chiminey Chim Chim Cher-ee Granger

 Already done The "In popular Culture" section already contains a line stating On the popular show The Vicar of Dibley it reveals that part of the vicar's name is "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". I think that covers it already? Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 15:35, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Spelling Mistake

Choreographer is misspelt in the last sentence of the Stage Musical section.

Taken care of. Thanks! -- Why Not A Duck 22:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Suggested addition to 'in popular culture'

The song was parodied by medical satirists "Amateur Transplants" on the 2004 album "Fitness to Practice" as "Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin"- a song about a brand new wonderdrug with many boastful qualities.

Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus

You've spelled it wrong it's not 'dociousaliexpiisticfragicalirupus' its 'dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus'. You missed the 'l' out. You also put 'repus' instead of 'rupus' near the end of the section. Please correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.135.49 (talk) 13:32, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

{{editsemiprotected}} Simple typo, please change "Rodney Pattison won three Olympic medals is sailing during the games of 1968 (Gold), 1972 (Gold) and 1976 (Silver) in a Flying Dutchman called Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious written in large colorful waves on the hull." to "Rodney Pattison won three Olympic medals in sailing during the games of 1968 (Gold), 1972 (Gold) and 1976 (Silver) in a Flying Dutchman called Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious written in large colorful waves on the hull."

Edit request from 96.243.170.70, 10 December 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Additional references to the song title "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" : On an episode of the game show "Win Ben Stein's Money," one of the question categories parodies the song title as "Super Calamari Dishes Expialidocious." In an episode of The Simpsons in which Bart and Lisa are under the care of Sherry Bobbins, a caricature of Mary Poppins, Monty Burns is encouraged to fly a kite. Upon taking this advice, he expresses a feeling of being "Superdupercalifragiastratic--" just before being struck by lightning.

Not done: In general, pop culture sections should be a description of how that particular subject has influenced pop culture as a whole, not a series of trivial references. See the popular culture section in the article about Xkcd, for example. Given that this article already has a problem with trivial references, adding more would only exacerbate the problem. In addition, these should be accompanied by reliable sources so they can be verified. elektrikSHOOS 22:54, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Coined long before the Disney movie?

Apparently the word was used in a book in 1899. See http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=supercalifragilisticexpialidocious&year_start=1898&year_end=2008&corpus=0&smoothing=0

It seems the article needs rewriting to reflect that.

This joke is also popular with small children in the USA and should be edited to reflect that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.11.179.202 (talk) 23:26, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
