Threnetes Noctiluca: The Glow Bird
Hi. Could you please provide references for the information found in your new article? Due to the complete absence on the internet of any mention of this bird (or its discoverer), the article will likely be deleted as a hoax unless reliable sources are cited, backing up these rather fantastic claims.

The Glow Bird
Apart from the copyright problem, I do not believe that the only source you have cited, livingearth.webs.com, is a reliable source. Although its copyright mark is dated 2006, it consists only of five pages: Searches on Google and Google Scholar fail to find any trace of this bird or its alleged discoverer. Even if it survives the copyright check, unless you can provide better sourcing, the article will be nominated for deletion as almost certainly a hoax and, in any case, unverifiable to Wikipedia's standards.
