Someone claiming to be a trainer has been adding false info to this page.

[edit] Page protected

I see no vandalism here, or at least its not simple vandalism. It is more of a content dispute. As such, this page is protected and {{disputed}} has been added to the top of the page. So discuss the dispute in the below section then contact me to unprotect the page. --Deskana (talk) 03:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meaning of Name

Taima's name doesn't mean "thunder" in the Icelandic language. It means thunder in the Native American language.

[edit] Discussion

According to research, numerous baby name meaning websites have just listed Taima as being Native American. However, none of those websites list the actual tribe name. I have found one website http://life.familyeducation.com/baby/baby-names/45491.html?page=2 which list the name, Taima, coming from the Fox Tribe. SWF Trainer 22:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

After further research, I have found the direct reference to SeaWorld claiming the origin of Taima's name as Icelandic. I have placed a reference section and cited the information on Taima's article. SWF Trainer 16:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
