[edit] Biased
If you are going to use a politically correct term like "[First nation]", then don't add a 'color' term like white right next to it. Socially engineered bias much?
[edit] Chaplin video
COMMENTS ON THE CHAPLIN VIDEO: The erroneous argument that beavers always keep their head at water level during a tail splash whereas the animal in the Chaplin video does not was taken straight from the t.v. show "Unsolved Mysteries." A similiar argument would be assuming that all dogs keep their head in a certain position when wagging their tail. Comical, to say the least. For this reason I have deleted this line from the page. Also, to even suggest that the animal in the video could be anywhere near 15 ft long is an insult to anyone with an IQ over 50 (Comment added 11 december 2006)
Ok, I removed the sentence, "while a beaver's head would be either be level to the water or already diving prior to a tail slap," since this states that all beavers's heads are either level to the water or diving prior to a tail slap. This is patently FALSE and a weak argument at best. See the comment above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.169.129.220 (talk) 23:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
I also find it very odd that Chaplin was also able to take another video of it the very next day. Hmmm....and no one else has been able to do this?

[edit] BC
- What I want to know is, why does BC hog all the cool monsters, like Ogopogo and Sasquatch? What about equalization payments? Shouldn't BC ship some of its monsters to other provinces? CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 19:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't this for serious talk about the article? We (living near Okanagan Lake in Oliver) get the cool stuff because we are located near the Pacific ocean, sure Newfoundland an the Eastern provinces are near the Atlantic but the Pacific is way cooler for stuff like this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.129.239.143 (talk) 21:01, August 22, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Song
Why is there no reference to the Ogopogo song, from which the name originates?[3] Totnesmartin 20:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Add it if you like, just please put it after the footnote since the reference doesn't talk about the song. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 02:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name
I see that "Mee-Shee" is on the list of names for this creature. "Mee-Shee" is not a real name, just a nonsense word invented for the fictional movie "Mee-Shee the Water Giant." As such, it should not be included here. Also, "Niataka" should be spelled "Naitaka." Shall I make these edits? User: Aelia
- Does the name mean "The remorseful one"? i've just read that in a book, but the book doesn't say where this information comes from. Totnesmartin 11:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
