Created page with '==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 –...'

::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)

I thought the bubble dreamer was officially confirmed to be "Polokus" a long time ago. The lividstones are called like this possibly to avoid copyright or identity issues, there are lots of people and places called "Livingstone" or "Livingstones". Also, the darktoons are kind of different from the Antitoons, I can't see how they got related by the fans. Antitoons "are are small bodies of dark energy which began to proliferate after Mr Dark stole the Great Protoon". Darktoons are small pieces of nightmares created by Jano. They're completely different... I'm going to separate both articles later. Anyway, let's stop going off-topic there's an example of what I say about the moskito, check this daily bubble:
* [http://raymanorigins.fr.ubi.com/dailybubble/index.php?language=EN&editionNum=10 DailyBubble #10 – El Mosquito]
There's an "Unibrown steppe Moskito". This moskito is completely different to Rayman's moskito, and by the name it has, I can tell its some kind of subspecies from the original moskitoes. And yeah, maybe it was scrapped, but it's a clear evidence of the developers having the idea of turning the word "Moskito" into species more than a character itself. Anyway, I think you're right, we should take more people and discuss about the moskito/mosquito before turning the articles back to what they were before. --[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 19:07, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
