I could've sworn it was a publicity photo for his vaudeville performances, but I can't find a source that states that. I've replaced it with File:Winsor McCay 1906.jpg, a 1906 photo that was published at least as early as 10 February 1907 in the New York Herald (the full page from that paper is reproduced on page 122 of Canemaker 2005).

Archive.org has The December 1914 issues of Variety. On page 44 of the 19 December issue (p136 of the file) there's a cropped version of the advertisement, but it's not the exact same ad that appears in the file. The defferences are the text portion at the top is chopped down to "Mr. McCay's Great Act", and there is a list of dates at the bottom. The file itself is clearly not taken from any December issue of Variety, but the artwork (including all the hand-lettered text) was clearly in print in 1914.

after taking advantage of McCay's lapse to patent many of McCay's techniques, including the use of registration marks, - any way to avoid repetition of "McCay"?
McCay registered the copyright for Gertie the Dinosaur on September 15, 1914. - Any reason why he took so long? Also, shouldn't this be in the body of the article?
It was, but I didn't think it read well. It also seemed kind of incidental. I wouldn't fight it if someone put it back in. I have no idea why it took so long. Perhaps he thought it was an unimportant technical detail? Maybe it took that long to process? Curly Turkey (gobble)05:43, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It was originally the infobox picture. I removed it because I thought a film still would be better. Also, I'm almost positive that it's not McCay's artwork. There's a really nice poster for the French version that's also not by McCay. In the end, I just ran out of space for more images, so I gave precedence to McCay's own work.

McCay's son Robert unsuccessfully attempted to revive Gertie with a comic strip called Dino, - When?
I couldn't find an exact date. I've found mentions of it going back as far as 1947 in Waugh's The Comics, but I can't find a date (even in blogs, etc). Curly Turkey (gobble)05:43, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yeah, plot summary is inaccurate (we don't have to cite secondary sources for this, just watch the film). He throws her a pumpkin, and she tosses the mammoth in the lake after it walks past her, throwing a bolder at him when he sprays her.
Worth noting as a footnote or in text, then, at the very least to avoid "corrections" like this one. Just watched again and, yes, it does look like an apple. However, the mammoth bit is still inaccurate. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:56, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
