I have an idea, let's change the name of "Moskito (Rayman 1)" to just "Moskito" . Instead of "Moskitoes", let's keep the other article as "Moskito (species)". What do you think? --[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 22:01, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

First of all, your behaviour is absolutely unacceptable, Sergio. Moving major pages is only done after a stable consensus is reached between administrators and other members who feel like giving their opinion, and you did it without asking or even telling anyone.

Now let's focus on the principal matter, and forget the other issues at the moment. There's definitely a problem with the name of the species we've been referring to as 'mosquito' so far, and even though reviewers cannot be considered a valid source, the name 'Moskito' appears several times in the French version of the game, in the name of the levels travelled on mosquito back. While it could only refer to one of them, the others being of the similar species, we have a Daily Bubble that clearly uses the word 'moskito' for another species. On the other hand, the official website refers to Moskito as a single character! That's what I call an inextricable bunch of nonsense.

I think it is safe to assume that the word 'Moskito' is used as both the name of the character from the original game and its species. I'm not happy with the way Sergio moved the articles though: While 'Moskito (species)' may be a good replacement for 'Mosquito' (which I think is suitable), 'Moskito (Rayman 1)' is just plain stupid in my opinion, and should be reverted back to the plain 'Moskito'. I see that's what Sergio suggested at one point, and I think it's a good idea (for a start). —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|link=User:Hunchman801]] 23:26, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
