Talk:Frosted Flakes

Article Title

Why is this article named 'Frosted Flakes' when its only called that in one country when the rest of the world call them 'Frosties'? Shouldn't the title be the most common named used? "Frosties (or Frosted Flakes in America) etc."

Quick Google finds

Frosted Flakes : USA
Frosties (Germany)
Frosties (UK)
Frosties (France) 
Frosties (Italy)
Frosties (Spain)
Frosties (Portugal)
Zucaritas (Argentina and Mexico)
Sucrilhos (Brazil)

So it's not a USA vs Rest of the world but USA vs Europe vs Some others ... anyway Kellogs is an American company so the USA title should be first (but not only) ^Jaster 16:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

vvvvv Can we get rid of the Frosties Kid comments now he has his own page ...

Frosted Flakes v Frosties

I think the common rule in wikipedia is that the Country of Origin rule always applies. (Frosties is a rare example because of US trade mark laws, but most other products have a standardised international name (unless the word is offensive in that language)). English articles are written in British English and American articles are written in American English. Kelloggs is an American company and must be treated as such, Frosted Sugar Flakes were first launched there. Mike33 01:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cocoa Frosted Flakes

I remember them being available for a limited time in America from the early 1990s. Is this true? --Imax80 19:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My revert

Complete accident - I was using Lupin's vandalism tool, which must have rolled-back a rollback. There is still vandalism present on the page. --Birdman1 ^{talk/contribs} 22:13, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Frosted-flakes.cbx.gif

Image:Frosted-flakes.cbx.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed for both images in article. -- Satori Son 16:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Frosties Kid

Regular editors may be suprised to see the paragraph back here. In the recent Afd [Frosties Kid] 19 people contributed (6keep 5merge 7delete 1abstain). The entry on Frosted Flakes looks nothing like any of the article that went through Afd. I doubt that any vandalism incured on the site will be as a result of this entry. Frosted Flakes is known to 1/4 the world as Frosties and its removal on those grounds would be very bad faith. Mike33 06:40, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
