So... I'm not sure what to make of African Inordinate. It sure looks interesting, but, well, is it true? Google turns up nothing on the subject. Perhaps you've mistranslated something...? Melchoir 07:16, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I know what you mean about Google -- I was really angry because I tried telling my entomology-obsessed Biology teacher about this (really annoying and slightly gross) insect, but couldn't find any web pages or pictures to show her. That's why I decided that at least I could write something for Wikipedia about it. I mean, it's one of the weirdest creatures I've ever seen in my life, but that's why its fascinating. I can't understand why it's not famous everywhere. Maybe it's because it doesn't benefit people, so no one cares about it.

The naturalists who told me about the Inordinate where at various wildlife preserves, and they think its funny how tourists freak out if they see one flying around. I have only seen two live Inordinates yet, but was lucky (?) enough to find a dead one, so I was able to see it up close. At the moment I'm trying to find the pictures I took, but they're being elusive. When I find them I'll have a decent photo for the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chainsawninja11 (talk • contribs) 07:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Sounds exciting! Meanwhile, though, I ask because we (inclusive) here at Wikipedia do try to verify everything. There's a lot of detail in the article-- surely you have some tangible sources for it all? Melchoir 07:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


 * You may be able to get some help from other people if they could get to the page. Spread some links around to the page and people will find it. Check the Orphan philosphy. As for the Google thing, I ran a search for Jorrit Kelmicher and he didn't bring back any results either. But, I guess if you don't have any sources, misspelling his name would be understandable. And might this be better placed in the article's talk page? JollyRancher82 16:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, the best place to discuss the verification of the article is Articles for deletion/African Inordinate. It will be there for five days; if after that it still has no sources, it will probably be deleted. Melchoir 17:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
