Sources and Links
Should I add the source for: (this version of the film is of much higher quality than others that are usually shown on TV because it is a digital copy of the master) which is: http://www.bfro.net/LMS/LMS.asp ?
And shouldn't the years and Memorial Day be linkified?
- No, linking non-specific dates such as "1994" for example is no use. According to WP:MOS...
- "If the date does not contain a day and a month, date preferences will not work, and square brackets will not respond to your readers' auto-formatting preferences. So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there is no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so."
- Thus, linking the date "1994" will in no way help the reader understand the memorial day footage in any way. In fact, to do so going against WP:OMLTARTTC. Memorial Day takes place on May 30, everyone knows that. So what should be done is you can create an article on the Memorial Day footage, even a few lines of the matter will do. Then for the date linkify May 30, 1996. That way, anyone using date preferences will be able to find this article, and we can avoid confusion.
- Adding the reference would be a great idea. Also, please sign your name next time.--Every1blowz 00:49, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- Alright, I source linked what we discussed and using my DVD of the program can probably write up an article about the Memorial Day footage. And I don't have a Wikipedia account so that's why I never signed my name. Maybe it's time I register? 65.138.74.37 12:14, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I created the Memorial Day footage article. -- J. 17:29, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- Good job on the memorial article, and thank you! --Every1blowz 22:54, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome. This is off topic I know, but don't you think the Fouke Monster article should be in the Bigfoot category or Cryptids category? It's in the Cryptozoology category, but that seems out of place to me, as do some of the others in those categories. What do you think? -- J. 23:06, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- I think Fouke Monster should be in Category:Bigfoot and Category:Hominid cryptids. --Every1blowz 04:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm, then shouldn't Skunk Ape and Yeti and Yowie also go into the Bigfoot category? -- J. 14:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
The Videos
Okay with Patterson and Gimlin, I am not sure I am convinced yet even inspite of all the careful study and research I have done. And with Paul Freeman footage from 1994. Atleast he is standing about maybe 200 feet away and something in the view of the camera looks awful damn suspicious. And with relationship to the third video. The person who filmed the video must have been either filming Bigfoot or a person from about a mile and half away in a big field. Because whatever it is is a small blip and pixel dot running across the screen. So I would say Paul Freeman video so far is the best. Which says nothing of whether it is really Bigfoot.
