[edit] Conception and creation

I'm about to delete this whole section, since it's a copyvio of the IHT's The Small White Cat That Conquered Japan. Before reinserting anything, make sure you are not simply cutting and pasting from a copyright source. --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Wow, good catch! I didn't even think to check that kind of thing because of the age of the article. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 23:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures?

I'm sure it's because it's all trademarked and whatnot, but I find it somewhat odd that an article about Hello Kitty does not actually have an image of the iconic Hello Kitty herself. Is there anything we can do? As useful as a description of Hello Kitty is, people who have never actually seen the image are going to be disappointed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.242.5 (talk) 02:13, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually it does have one in the middle of the page. I do agree one of the standard animated one should be included. I'd presume one was here once and it was removed because it was not appropriately licensed and FURed. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 02:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

The image referred above is under deletion discussion Commons [1]. Don't know how long it'll last, or what, exactly, the Mickey Mouse Law is referring. Does it mean "derivative works" only, or does it mean no usage of any image of the property? Yngvarr (t) (c) 16:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Any idea why the picture was deleted? I can find no good reason not to include a small-resolution picture of the Hello Kitty icon in a page specifically about Hello Kitty. For example, even Mickey Mouse, one of the most defended copyrights (Mickey Mouse#Legal issues), has a (relatively high resolution) picture. I don't know but is it at least allowed to link to an external site if wikipedia is not allowed to host an image itself? Can it be treated the same way as a logo for a company or web site? 68.166.37.76 (talk) 09:09, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Footnote #18

I just tried to go to the link found in footnote #18, but failed -- apparently the link is broken in some way. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm afraid I do not. RobertAustin (talk) 17:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Is that the one regarding the Thai cops? I just tried it and it is working. Maybe it was a glitch? Archive.org seems to have cataloged this URL, too [2]. Yngvarr (t) (c) 21:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy

The Hello Kitty character was not inaugurated by a toy company -- it is the central character of an old and well-known myth about a cat who saves a family from death by fire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.199.149.114 (talk) 01:03, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Information about Hello Kitty

Hello Kitty is the most well known of many fictional characters produced by Japanese company, Sanrio. Hello Kitty is a very peculiar and curious white cat which is characterized by a distinctive bow or some other decoration on her left ear and the absence of a mouth except in an animated series. It was created in year 1974 by Sanrio Company of Japan in Tokyo, Japan. Registered in 1976, Hello Kitty is now a globally known trademark —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.199.76.222 (talk) 02:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

In the shows she haves a mouth.--Daisy18108 ^{Talk to me here!} ^{Sign my Guestbook! 02:18, 9 December 2009 (UTC)}
