smokey the bear

and info and/or history about smokey bear's [alternate?] name being "smokey the bear" ? image results show alot of cartoons, posters, etc with the name as "smokey the bear". anyone know why this is the case ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gizziiusa (talk • contribs) 13:14, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am a product of the 1950's, and the appellation we knew was always and only 'Smokey the Bear.' The other still sounds strange and needlessly modernistic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:8DED:1A0A:13DD:8AC1 (talk) 00:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless, he is simply Smokey Bear in every bit of official literature. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:03, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The majority of commercials all said 'the' IIRC.  https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/commercials/Ad-Council/Smokey-the-Bear/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:9D86:7B62:1D1B:A823 (talk) 22:37, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was in junior high back then. I am sure I always heard him called Smokey the Bear. Scott Tillinghast, Houston TX (talk) 17:46, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Footnotes in lead

I've restored the status quo to before the next-most-recent edit since potentially contentious facts in WP:LEAD can be footnoted, and these particular issues proved contentious in past discussions. Also, that edit did not, as stated, remove footnotes so much as rather erased needed quotes in footnotes that avoided contentiousness. Finally, there is no proper-noun "The" in Ad Council, and SmokeyBear.com has multiple "publishers" — more like sponsors — including not just the Ad Council but the US Forest Service and the National Assn. of State Foresters. It's clearly impractical and I would say unnecessary to put all three of them in every publisher field at every single SmokeyBear.com footnote. I ask the editor, now that this edit has been reverted, to follow WP:BRD and discuss the issue on this talk page so we can avoid a potential edit-war. --Tenebrae (talk) 14:10, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
