Riley's voice[]
Googling "Kaitlyn Dias Inside Out", gives numerous websites which mention she voices Riley. But I have no idea how reliable this is?... The most prominent is Forbes, which seems to be a good source? Although one thing I find weird is that such an important announcement would be passed on so quietly...--Gray Catbird (talk) 16:13, October 10, 2014 (UTC)
- I agree, they've made a big deal about the voices of the emotions, but I've seen nothing official regarding it. It may turn out to be correct, but I think until we have either a direct Disney/Pixar source, or someone quoting Disney/Pixar, then we should wait. --Jeff (talk) 17:39, October 10, 2014 (UTC)
Riley and her mind[]
I think we should clear out how we are covering Riley and her mind, currently it's a bit blurry. I think we should have two different pages, one for Riley as a character and one for "Riley's mind" as a location. Because they seem to be two rather different things in the film, and it would be unpractical to cover both on the same page. What do you think?--Gray Catbird (talk) 16:13, October 10, 2014 (UTC)
- I agree, things are blurry! I like saying Riley is a character, because obviously she is. But I'm not fond of referring to her as a location. I'm unsure how much we'll see of her mind besides "headquarters". So headquarters should be a location. And there may be other places inside of Riley that we'll see, and those should become locations but don't know if we need a overall Riley location. Not sure if my thinking is clear, but in summary, I don't think Riley is a location - I think we'll have other specific locations inside of Riley like headquarters. What are your thoughts? --Jeff (talk) 17:51, October 10, 2014 (UTC)
- That pretty much ties with what I think. So, I guess we agree it is not Riley that is a location, but that the locations are actually inside her mind (nuance!). And as you point out, it is not just one place, but several different ones...
- I still think though a page for Riley's mind in general could be useful. A bit like how we (sort of) have articles for cities, and then articles for significant places within these cities. It could be justified, since it seems to me her mind is practically a parallel universe in its own right. Also--I'm getting a bit ahead of things here--the question could eventually become even more complex since it appears we may actually see inside the mind of other people than Riley in the film... Which is why I'm thinking, it may be useful to have an overall location.
- But it's hard to tell, since we haven't seen the film, and we know so little about it!...
- Still, currently Riley is categorized under "locations", and there are a few images of the inside of her mind in her gallery, so we ought to clear that out a bit. If we agree she is not herself a location, perhaps we should at least remove these? Gray Catbird (talk) 02:06, October 11, 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm, what about this? I think the Locations category should be removed from Riley, and all the images except the first. We could, for now, create a Headquarters page and put those 3 images there. I don't mind the first one, as that was one of the first concept drawings, or it could go on both pages. Then, once we know more about the film we can create more location pages, including possibly one for Riley's mind. --Jeff (talk) 02:40, October 12, 2014 (UTC)
- That sounds good for me. A page for Headquaters would be indeed a good start, I think.Gray Catbird (talk) 02:42, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Andersen[]
So I am now convinced that Riley's surname is actually not "Anderson", but really "Andersen". User:Jordanindenmark reports that her name is spelled "Andersen" on the posters in Dream Productions. I must say I didn't pay attention to the posters when I saw the film, so, it would be great if someone could confirm this?...
Since this is a rather big change (99% of Internet call her "Anderson") perhaps I should make an argument for supporting the change. Despite not seeing it in the film, I found evidence:
- There exist printed Dream Production posters as posted by Brad Bird that spell it "Andersen".
- Two official images call her "Riley Andersen" in their caption: see "metadata" section of this and this.
- One book spells it "Andersen"
- The production notes released at Cannes call her "Riley Andersen".
- After a quick Google search I did not find any official sources that call her "Anderson".
What do you guys think?--Gray Catbird (talk)

- Well, I see you already moved Riley's pages and you provide a lot of evidence to support it. I haven't paid enough attention to say it should be one way or another, but I think with the evidence you provide it's the right decision. Thanks. --Jeff (talk) 04:27, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I did rename the page, sorry for that. I guess I was so shocked I did it immediately without thinking. :P And only then I thought this should've been discussed. I also realize it's kind of weird that I am citing so much extra material, when in principle just watching the film would be enough, but, I can't see the film. Anyways, thanks for your feedback, if noone objects, I will rename the remaining instances of "Anderson" on the wiki to "Andersen".--Gray Catbird (talk)
13:27, June 22, 2015 (UTC) - I should also say that I mentioned this on the Pixar Post forums, and T.J. answered this : " Riley's last name is Andersen...not Anderson. The spelling of her last name is included in the electronic press kit from the studio."--Gray Catbird (talk) 14:08, June 22, 2015 (UTC)

I am not satisfied that this is true and nor am I going to allow any pages on Disney Wikia to be renamed until either the film itself tells us or official Disney websites say so. So far there are more materials on the web that notes her surname as "Anderson" and some say she doesn't have one at all. You'll need more better proof than leaked posters by Brad Bird and production notes. Those materials are clearly months old, especially those posters. I saw them a while back and things can change overtime you know. --Alex2424121 (talk) 15:33, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
- There is no better proof than the official Disney/Pixar press release. To be clear, we usually don't rely on anything on the Internet unless it comes from an official source. Please point us to any official material "on the web" that you've found that says "Anderson". --Jeff (talk) 14:41, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't say I had proof, I am saying that prefer to have more to support such findings. I don't take kindly to conclusions or leaked material because things aren't always as they seem. I know because I had a past experience once with the rumours about Hans and Elsa before Frozen was even released. Since then I do not look at something and say "Yes this is it!" I want more information, a shot of the credits, a dialogue, anything. I'm not trying to be mean I am just very careful with how I approach things and I don't think renaming her page right now is a good idea. --Alex2424121 (talk) 15:48, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
- No worries Alex, I'm glad you're questioning this! We too have had issues because of what someone has seen/read on the internet. Heck, look what happened with The Good Dinosaur changing a large portion of their cast, so even official information can change. I think we've all been through this enough to know we need to be careful. I have access to the Disney press kits so will check that out as soon as I can, hopefully this evening and then we can clear this up. Thanks! --Jeff (talk) 15:10, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
- The issue has already been solved. But since the more witnesses there are the better, I saw Inside Out for the third time recently and I can confirm that the name is "Riley Andersen" on the "I Can Fly!" poster in the film.--Gray Catbird (talk) 22:13, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
