~~==Moskito==~~

Before you go any further, what makes you so sure that Origins has renamed the mosquito species to 'Moskitoes'? It seems to be based mainly on your own conjecture – I haven't seen the word 'Moskito' used as anything other than a name for the individual encountered in R1. Do you have any solid evidence? Usually we consult one another before moving major pages around. —[[~~User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 18:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)~~

:Reviewers call them "Moskitoes", Michel ancel says "ride '''a''' Moskito" in several interviews (that confirms them as species), and the official website states that they're called moskitoes now. There's no reference to "Mosquitoes" anymore in Rayman Origins, just "Moskitoes". There are 4 visible moskitoes in the game, they're all pink, no one seems to be evil, and there are also some baby moskitoes who ironically carry globox (and his skins respectively). The original moskito never befriended Rayman, and this one resembles more Bzzzit. I suggest to leave the articles like this, since there's nothing that affects the difference between Moskitoes and Moskito and I used a disambiguation to avoid confusions. Also, the term "Mosquito" redirects to the species called "Moskito", nothing is lost. --[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 18:~~24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)~~

::Actually the official website identifies one of them as 'Moskito', and the language used suggests that 'Moskito' is an individual male. I imagine it's quite possible that this 'Moskito' is indeed the same 'Moskito' we met in R1. I doubt the developers would want to bring up the whole 'Bzzit' mess by taking Revolution into account; I've never shaken the impression that there was only one mosquito in R1 anyway, in much the same way that I've always held to my convictions about glutes being Globox's species. I'd also question the validity of reviewers and Ancel calling them 'Moskitoes' – how would the reviewers know the name of the species if all they have to go on is the game itself, and how can you tell Ancel is saying 'Moskitoes' if it's pronounced the same way as 'Moskitoes'?

::You're probably right, but it's not as clear-cut as you may think. I'm still not sure if it was a good idea to move the page, as we haven't done that for Darktoons, Lividstones or the Bubble Dreamer, even though those instances of renaming are very clear. Even the sysops don't do stuff like that without discussing it first. —[[User~~:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor~~]] ~~[[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 18:47, 17 November 2011 (UTC)~~
