Questions about the deletion of two items under "Hoax allegations" from the "Patterson–Gimlin film" entry
(These items were: "Bigfoot--Sewing It Up" and "Ben River.") Their deletion doesn't show up atop the History page--why not? Who did it? ('Tweren't me.)

I can understand what I presume is the rationale for their deletion--they are speculative, partisan claims by non-expert amateurs. And including them opens the door to including a score of similar allegations--not to mention numerous counter allegations of authenticity. Since all can't be accommodated, maybe none should be.

However, the existence of such claims should at least be mentioned in a general, neutral way on wiki, because they are a vital part of getting a better understanding of the PGF topic. So I added 2 sentences under the "Hoax allegations" heading, namely:

"Online, it is possible to find analyses of images from the film that point to certain characteristics as indicative of a costume, or at least as consistent with one. It is also possible to find textual critiques of the statements and behavior of Patterson and Gimlin." RogerKni (talk) 08:53, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi
Your talk page got me interested -- a message in 2005, and then no more until 2015 -- so I checked your stats (here). Well, what took you so long? =) Welcome aboard... or back... or whatever. Hope the best for you, and see you around I hope, Herostratus (talk) 16:27, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

New footage
Did you see this footage? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw54YeCkS3M. Melonkelon (talk) 04:23, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

@Melonkelon. Thanks. It reminds me of the unstabilized footage I saw in 1976 in a theater. The jerky footage was easier to dismiss, because it was distracting. (I'm in regular communication with Streufert but he didn't mention this to me. Maybe tomorrow.)

ArbCom elections are now open!
