Raby, New South Wales

Raby is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 55 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Campbelltown. It is part of the Macarthur region.

History
Raby took its name from Raby Road. In 1976, the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales approved the name 'Raby', using the justification that the new suburb was to be located off Raby Road, which for more than 150 years had trailed across the hills linking the old Riley family property to Campbelltown.

European settlement
Alexander Riley (1778–1833) was a merchant and pastoralist who in 1809 was granted 3000 acre on the corner of Bringelly and Cowpasture Roads. He called his estate Raby in honour of his mother, who had been Miss Margaret Raby. Apparently "Raby" had also been the name of a family property in England. He used his new Australian farm for sheep breeding, and also introduced the first cashmere goats into the colony.

As a suburb of Campbelltown, Raby began to be developed as private subdivisions in the late 1970s. In 1978, the City of Campbelltown Council decided to use "airplanes of the world" as its theme to name the new streets being created. The first land releases were located between three roads named in honour of famous fighter planes – Mustang Drive, Sopwith Avenue and Spitfire Drive. By the early 1990s, most of the suburb had been completed, although a few pockets were still being released. As late as March 1992, Council was allocating additional street names such as Arrow Place and Skyfarmer Place on the site of the old Heathfield Public School which is adjacent to the Raby Shopping Complex. This was not only the name of a farm which stood on the site in the 1970s, but was also the name of the Landcom estate that saw the creation of nearby streets.

Landmarks
The old Bunbury-Curran Creek has now been developed as Raby Sports Complex, used by Campbelltown-Camden District Cricket Club as its home ground in the Sydney Grade Cricket competition, and Sunderland Reserve (named after an adjoining road). An old farm dam has been retained as Lake Burrendah Reserve, which is Aboriginal for "place of the swan". Nearby Kooringa Reserve is derived from the Koori word for "sheoak." Blain Reserve notes an old family which had lived in the area since the 1800s.

Schools
The first school in the suburb was Heathfield Public School, which was named after a local farm owned by the Blain family. Heathfield Public School stood in demountable classrooms to the west of the modern site of Raby shopping centre, off Hurricane Drive. This temporary school closed in 1986, when Robert Townson Public School opened to replace it. The original site of Heathfield Public School was subdivided for residential housing developments.

Robert Townson Public School opened in 1986 under Principal Lyle Whan.

Robert Townson High School opened in 1987, is a comprehensive co-educational high school serving the needs of students from the surrounding areas of St Andrews, Kearns and Varroville.

Both Robert Townson Public School and Robert Townson High School take their name from a local pioneer.

Mount Carmel High School, is a local Catholic school situated on a large area of land at the foot of the neighbouring suburb of Varroville and adjacent to Mount Carmel Catholic Parish.

 * Population: 5,944

Thanks for the welcome. I have been reading for awhile and it was really bothering me how the articles about The Price Is Right seem to not have any sources. I hope my tagging them as unsourced is not out of line for a newbie! Rekarb Bob 16:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * It's not out of line, by all means. But, I would hope that you become involved in discussing the solution. Personally, I think most of the information is true and is gleaned from watching the program. This would be consistent with most of the articles about The Simpsons or South Park episodes. One particular fansite seems to have reliable, even behind-the-scenes, information about The Price Is Right including episode summaries. However, the episode summaries are written by TPIRFanSteve, and, while I don't doubt his accuracy, I am not sure whether it violates the no original research policy. I would ask for you to see the discussion at the main Price Is Right article because we are running into the same issues there as well.

World Cup Sponsorship AfD
Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I’ve made some rather large additions to 2006 FIFA World Cup sponsorship and would appreciate if you could take a look at them and possibly reconsider your comment at Articles for deletion/2006 FIFA World Cup sponsorship. I thought it was a worthy topic, even though it had a wretched article, so I added information about revenue and the sponsorship process, the sponsor related controversies of this World Cup (tickets distribution, Budweiser in Germany, Mcdonalds at a sporting event), and took out the copyvios. Please take a look. Thanks! Vickser 19:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Links to ArenaFan
The links to ArenaFan were just as relevant to the pages as the official team sites due to the information on those pages. Obviously you didn't bother to look at those pages on ArenaFan before you removed the links. I will be putting them back on the team page listings for all AFL and af2 teams since they are extremely relevant. In addition, many of those URLs were not put in by me, but by other people who edited the pages, most of whom I do not even know. It should also be noted that I do add and edit the pages for content, mostly fixing errors submitted by people who know little about the subject matter, and my source for many of those modifications is ArenaFan. Finally, I can site hundreds of instances where similar links are provided all across wikipedia in a similar manner. Nolesrule 00:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * While I appreciate the desire to promote one's website, it's Wikipedia style to avoid adding links to your own site (see #3 here). I'm not disputing that there may have been others that added your links, but a reasonable sample showed that they were added by you. There are several other links to mainstream media sites, all of which do not belong here either. By linking to your site here, it increases your visibility on Google (ranks which are determined by the number of links to it). That is frowned upon here. All of that said, I have left some of your links in where there was a sufficient reason to leave them in, especially in historical contexts. (I have, indeed, bothered to look at the pages on Arenafan.) But don't be surprised to see someone else remove them. I also have noted that you do edit Wikipedia in a responsible way otherwise, which I do appreciate. Thanks for your contributions. —Twigboy 14:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your response. I honestly hadn't even considered how it would affect google rankings because ArenaFan generally comes up in the top 1-3 for most team names so I don't pay attention to them since I have no reason to. I was only adding them because a) I thought they were relevent, and b) other people had added the links to various wikipedia pages so I figured uniformity was appropriate. I agree that the examples you site are innapropriate, but they don't provide any additional information beyond what can be found on wikipedia or official team pages, whereas there is dynamic data (not just news) that cannot be found anywhere else and would be inappropriate and tedious to include on wikipedia pages. Nolesrule 02:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

ArenaFan
I will remove the links again as spam, and discuss with other admins about perhaps getting the site listed on the blacklist. (ESkog)(Talk) 18:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm still looking for an explanation as to why the ArenaFan links consitute spam and not relevent external links. From the external links definition page under "What should be linked to

 * 5. # Sites that contain neutral and accurate material not already in the article. Ideally this content should be integrated into the Wikipedia article, then the link would remain as a reference, but in some cases this is not possible for copyright reasons or because the site has a level of detail which is inappropriate for the Wikipedia article.

 * So please explain why the ArenaFan links don't fit that category Nolesrule 20:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

re: User:Twigboy/Sandbox/NFL team-season articles
Some preliminary thoughts before I study it more closely:
 * I would rather not have team logos in the infobox. There is still a debate involving those users who strictly interpret Fair use criteria rule #8 in which logos and other fair use images can only be used if either they identify the subject of the article, or illustrate specific points in the text. Therefore, I do not want to see an edit war, especially because the basic removal of possibly copyright violating material does not count under Wikipedia's three-revert rule. Now, if it was an anniversary logo for a specific season like Image:SeattleSeahawks20thAnniversarylogo.gif, then that is a different story.
 * Which reminds me, you should also look at the existing articles 2005 Seattle Seahawks and 2005 Denver Broncos for ideas.

More possibly later. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, to be honest I do not really care about the specific details about the pages, just as long as there are no edit wars, other admins removing logos and fair use images after strictly intrepreting WP:FUC, or "Deletionist" wanting to delete them because "they aren't notable enough". Therefore, you can create them at anytime. But if you are going to make one for the Steelers and/or the Dolphins, we should create them before the end of Sep 7 Kickoff game... and the other ones by opening Sunday Sep 10. I don't want users padding the NFL team articles with long detailed summaries of the opening games. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 22:49, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Additions to Fair Catch Kick
I realize Wikipedia's policy is to use secondary sources whenever possible, but there's a dearth of those on fair catch kicks, and the ones available online are woefully incomplete. Even NFL officials have admitted that they have no idea of the exact number (. With no official source available, newspapers reporting on the Cardinals' would-be fair catch kick attempt were compelled to cite Wikipedia's entry, which only contained 4 kicks at the time.    This prompted me to add to Wikipedia the primary-source research I had already put on my own site.

Almost all the additions I made to the Fair Catch Kick entry are from contemporary game reports published in newspapers the day after the day in question. Almost all of them are not available online except in paid archives, but all are available in microfilm form in public libraries. I can and will provide the exact sources (this will involve some digging through my notes), but by and large they were from the major local newspaper of the team attempting the fair catch kick.

The one exception that I know of: the reference to Fred Steinfort's 73-yarder was found in a January 21, 1981, interview with the Boston Globe. The game itself was a Monday nighter marked by drunken fan antics; post-game articles written on deadline ignored a missed FG in the first half. Here's the relevant quote:

So how come, he was asked jokingly, he missed that 73-yard free kick field goal after a fair catch against New England here Sept. 29?

"Well, you know, I've made them over 70 yards in practice and that night we expected to get the ball around midfield," he laughed. "But Mike Hubach got off a good punt and those goal posts looked so far away, I didn't know what to do. I used poor technique going to the ball and didn't get a good shot at it at all."

I hope this helps. Quirkyresearch 20:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I've added references (major newspapers over local, when available) for each fair catch kick and given permission to use the material, but I left the known attempts section commented out for now. Feel free to un-comment it if it meets approval. --Quirkyresearch 19:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Super Bowl years
The whole thing is confusing, see WikiProject National Football League basically because non-fans get confused the playoffs and Super Bowl should be referred to by the calendar year the occur in. Also indiivdual years should not be wikilinked in Wikipedia. Pleased don't get mad at me neither decision is my choice. You could probably ask for further clarification on the talk page over at WP:NFL. Maybe I'm not 100% correct but I'm pretty sure that's the correct format. It's confusing—the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots articles are considered featured articles and could be used as examples. Maybe we could just say they won Super Bowl XXI and XXV without mentioning the year. They are mentioned again in the section with the year mentioned. Quadzilla99 14:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Done, individual years aren't supposed to be wikilinked, you could wikilink "the 1990 season". Not necessary right now. Quadzilla99 15:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I can't find anything in the The New York Times archives or any of my old football history books. I know some of the basics just off the top of my head, but we would need a source anyway.

2007 Writers Guild of America strike
Sorry if my talk on the Politicians section seemed personal. I really was just commenting on the text and didn't think about the author. Most of your additions on this article have been more productive than my minor changes.DirectRevelation 03:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)DirectRevelation

 * TwigBoy,

I moved the potential CBS strike from the Effect of the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike on television to the end of the main strike page because it fit in better with the other potential strike there. At least for now.

It looks like there were a lot of edits and undos with that section so I'm a little unclear: is this just with CBS News radio does it also involve writers with CBS TV News (60 Minutes, Evening News, 48 Hours)? What is AFTRA's role at CBS since they normally represent news writers?

If this comes to pass, it may be difficult to categorize these events since we'll have 2 different unions who are both involved in the same 2 strikes. (How many people could understand that last sentence?}

Would our Article titles look like this?: DirectRevelation (talk) 02:58, 17 November 2007 (UTC)DirectRevelation
 * 2007 Writers Guild of America strike against AMPTP
 * 2007 Writers Guild of America strike against CBS
 * Effect of the 2007 Writers Guild of America strikes on broadcasting

 * OK, I'm fine with your proposed article titles. I just thought it was important to discuss this ahead of time so that the separate CBS contract isn't muddled into the other Guild articles.

 * I took a look at the List of Strikes and added several links to it. Be careful about using it as a source for naming strikes though, since the vast majority of the links are deadre and don't refer to actual articles. DirectRevelation (talk) 07:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)DirectRevelation

Super Bowl XLII
I'm not saying that the criticism is untrue, I just think that the section should be limited to their road to the super bowl, and leave things such as criticism and controversy to their individual season pages. Criticism of them running up the score has little to do with the game or how it will be played. Now if they run up the score in the Super Bowl, then it might warrant a mention. -- Scorpion0422 20:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Methylone

Methylone, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylcathinone (MDMC), is an empathogen and stimulant psychoactive drug. It is a member of the amphetamine, cathinone and methylenedioxyphenethylamine classes.

Methylone is a slight modification of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, also known as ecstasy). It was first synthesized by the chemists Peyton Jacob III and Alexander Shulgin in 1996 for potential use as an antidepressant. Methylone has been sold for recreational use, taking advantage of the absence of legal prohibition of this compound in many countries.

Chemistry
Methylone is the substituted cathinone analogue of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and the 3,4-methylenedioxy analog of methcathinone. The only structural difference of methylone with respect to MDMA is the substitution of 2 hydrogen atoms by 1 oxygen atom in the β position of the phenethylamine core, forming a ketone group.

Resemblance to MDMA

Methylone substitutes for MDMA in rats trained to discriminate MDMA from saline. Methylone does not substitute for amphetamine or for the hallucinogenic DOM in animals trained to discriminate between these drugs and saline. Further, also in common with MDMA, methylone acts on monoaminergic systems. In vitro, methylone has one third the potency of MDMA at inhibiting platelet serotonin accumulation and about the same in its inhibiting effects on the dopamine and noradrenaline transporters.

In spite of these behavioral and pharmacological similarities between methylone and MDMA, the observed subjective effects of both drugs are not completely identical. Alexander Shulgin wrote of the former:

"'[Methylone] has almost the same potency of MDMA, but it does not produce the same effects. It has an almost antidepressant action, pleasant and positive, but not the unique magic of MDMA.'"

In acute pharmacological studies of methylone (50–300mg) in humans, the drug produced physiological and psychological effects including increased blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, pupil dilation, stimulation, euphoria, feelings of well-being, enhanced empathy, increased sociability, and altered perception. The studies found that the effects of methylone were similar to or milder than those of MDMA. Methylone had a faster onset of action and its subjective effects wore off sooner than MDMA, which might lead to a redosing pattern of use. The misuse potential of methylone, as measured by for instance drug liking responses, appeared to be similar to that of MDMA. However it also has less off-target effects than MDMA which may be an advantage for medical applications.

Pharmacodynamics
Methylone acts as a mixed reuptake inhibitor and releasing agent of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. In comparison to MDMA, it has approximately 3x lower affinity for the serotonin transporter, while its affinity for the norepinephrine and dopamine transporters is similar. Notably, methylone's affinity for the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) is about 13x lower than that of MDMA. The results of these differences in pharmacology relative to MDMA are that methylone is less potent in terms of dose, has more balanced catecholaminergic effects relative to serotonergic, and behaves more like a reuptake inhibitor like methylphenidate than a releaser like amphetamine; however, methylone has relatively robust releasing capabilities, perhaps due to its ability to phosphorylate the monoamine transporters being similar in potency relative to MDMA.

Pharmacokinetics
The two major metabolic pathways in mammals for methylone are N-demethylation to methylenedioxycathinone (MDC), and demethylation followed by O-methylation of the 3- or 4-hydroxy group to 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymethcathinone (HMMC) or 3-hydroxy-4-methoxymethcathinone (3-OH-4-MeO-MC). When 5 mg/kg of methylone was administered to rats, it was found that around 26% was excreted as HMMC within the first 48 hours (less than 3% excreted unchanged). The mean elimination half-lives of methylone in humans following oral administration of doses of 50 to 200mg ranged from 5.8 to 6.9hours. The onset of action and duration of action of methylone in humans are 0.5hours and 2.5 to 3.0hours, respectively.

Commercial distribution

Analysis of "Explosion" has confirmed that the active ingredient is methylone. Many other formulations marketed as household chemicals, as well as the pure powder, have been sold.

Netherlands
In the Netherlands, methylone is not yet listed under the Opium Law, but is covered under the medicine act. Because methylone is not registered officially, it is forbidden to trade in methylone. The Minister of Health has asked the Coordination point Assessment and Monitoring new drugs group (CAM) to gather information about this substance, resulting possibly in an official risk assessment. Until now, no research has been conducted on the toxicity of methylone, so nothing is known about the harmfulness of this new drug.

New Zealand
In New Zealand, although methylone is not explicitly scheduled and falls outside the strict definitions of an "amphetamine analogue" in the Misuse of Drugs Act, it is considered to be "substantially similar" to methcathinone and is thus considered by law enforcement authorities to be a Class C illegal drug. Methylone was sold in New Zealand for around 6 months from November 2005 to April 2006 as an MDMA substitute, under the name "Ease". The product was withdrawn after legal disputes with the government.

UK
In the UK, methylone is illegal since the 16/04/2010 revision of the misuse of drugs act. Before this it was not specifically mentioned in United Kingdom (U.K.) law as the β-ketone was not covered under the Misuse of Drugs Act. In March 2010, plans were announced to make methylone and other cathinones, Class B drugs, "within weeks". While delayed by dissatisfaction in the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, the revision was rushed through by the government with little regard for the views of the council. The importation of the compounds was banned immediately.

Sweden
Sveriges riksdag added methylone to schedule I ("substances, plant materials and fungi which normally do not have medical use") as narcotics in Sweden as of Oct 1, 2010, published by Medical Products Agency in their regulation LVFS 2010:23 listed as Metylon, 2-metylamino-1-(3,4-metylendioxifenyl)propan-1-on. Methylone was first classified by Sveriges riksdags health ministry Statens folkhälsoinstitut as "health hazard" under the act Lagen om förbud mot vissa hälsofarliga varor (translated Act on the Prohibition of Certain Goods Dangerous to Health) as of Nov 1, 2005, in their regulation SFS 2005:733 listed as 3,4-metylendioximetkatinon (Metylon).

Canada
Although not listed as a Schedule 1 substance, Health Canada reports that methylone falls under the scheduling as an analogue of amphetamine. However, Methylone bears the exact chemical difference between amphetamine and cathinone – and cathinone is listed as not being an analogue of amphetamine, possibly implying that methylone is unscheduled in Canada. The CDSA was updated as a result of the Safe Streets Act changing amphetamines from Schedule 3 to Schedule 1; however, methylone was not added.

United States
In October 2011, the DEA issued an emergency ban on methylone. It was made illegal to possess and distribute. On April 4, 2013, the DEA placed methylone as a Schedule 1 substance under the CSA.

 * Arizona:
 * Effective February 16, 2012, methylenedioxymethcathinone (methylone) was classified as a dangerous drug, making it a felony to knowingly possess, use, possess for sale, manufacture, administer, transport for sale, import into the state, or offer to transport for sale or import into this state, sell, transfer or offer to sell or transfer. A.R.S. 13-3401(6)(c)(xliii), 2012 Ariz. Legis. Serv. Ch. 1 (H.B. 2356).

 * Florida:
 * In January 2011, it was reported that Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an emergency ban on MDPV, Methylone, Mephedrone, 3-methoxymethcathinone, 3-fluoromethcathinone, and 4-fluoromethcathinone as media attention on products labeled as "bath salts" grew. These chemicals are now Schedule I under Florida law.

 * Louisiana:
 * In January 2011, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal emergency scheduled 3,4-methylenedioxymethcathinone (methylone), 3,4-methyenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), 4-methylmethcathinone (mephedrone), 4-methoxymethcathinone (methedrone), 4-fluoromethcathinone (flephedrone), and 3-fluoromethcathinone (3-FMC).

 * Tennessee:
 * On May 5, 2011, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam signed a law making it a crime to knowingly produce, manufacture, distribute, sell, offer for sale or possess with intent produce, manufacture, distribute, sell, or offer for sale any product containing 3,4-methylenedioxymethcathinone (methylone), 3,4-methyenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), 4-methylmethcathinone (mephedrone), 4-methoxymethcathinone (methedrone), 4-fluoromethcathinone (flephedrone), and 3-fluoromethcathinone (3-FMC).

 * Texas:
 * In September 2011, Texas added 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylcathinone to the Penalty Group 2 listing of the Health and Safety Code. Possession of a substance in penalty group 2 is a minimum of a state jail felony.

 * Michigan:
 * Schedule 1 controlled substance in 2012.

Etymology
"Methylone" is also a trademarked brand name for an injectable form of methylprednisolone, a corticosteroid hormone used to treat arthritis and severe allergic reactions; hence, methylone may be confused with it. Aside from context, they can be distinguished by the fact that the name will usually be capitalized when referring to the prescription drug.

A proposed alternate name is βk-MDMA, or beta-keto-MDMA. While this nomenclature has not caught on because the name "methylone" became widely used before the conflicting Methylone trademark was noticed, the analogous names for related chemicals βk-MDEA and βk-MBDB have become the established names for those substances.

Talk:Reptile (Mortal Kombat)

False Information in 'Defenders Of The Realm' Section
"Reptile also appeared on the animated television show Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm where he lead an attack on earthrealm with other Zaterrans. He battled with Jax and dripped acid on the latter's mechanical arms breaking them and causing Jax to lose his confidence. Jax later defeated Reptile in Mortal Kombat thereby regaining his confidence. In the show Reptile bares an appearance similar to the Spider-Man villain Chameleon and the Harry Potter villain Voldemort."

This is actually not true at all, since the episode in question clearly states that he is the Zaterrans' "new leader" and has a different name. The other main characters acknowledge this. Sonya refers to him as reptile, but only in the sense of calling him "a" reptile. Cannonically, the animated series follows the first movie, and in this animated series and episode, they acknowledge that the "real" Reptile was killed in that film.

This should be fixed.

Fast Forceball
Reptile was capable of using this move in MKSM.

Zaterra in Conquest
I am editing the TV series paragraph to reflect Zaterra. Contrary to what is posted, the name of the realm is mentioned repeatedly in Conquest, from Reptile's debut in TWISTED TRUTH throughout the allegiance of the Zaterrans with Kreeya in IN KOLD BLOOD. The episodes are available on the Net to confirm this. AtenRa 16:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Reptile's images
They need more spacing

De Evolution Theory
The article says there is no proof of the fan idea he is de-evolving, but in the krypt of one game you could unlock a picture with a form from every game titled Reptile's De-evolution.
 * I remember reading that the reason Reptile has devolved from his once human-like form to a full-blown dinosaur form is because he no longer resides in Zaterra with the rest of his Saurion race. Reptile is the only remaining member of this species, if you throw out Khameleon; therefore, he is "evolving" to another form.  It is arguable whether or not Reptile is actually devolving or evolving (as both are forms of evolutionary adaptation). If people quit removing his different appearances, you'd be able to see for yourself.  However, pertaining to devolution, I think if we could obtain a picture of this Krypt image, we can seal the verifiability of the situation. — №tǒŖïøŭş  4lĭfė   ♫   ♪
 * I've seen that picture, but I remember it saying that the Zaterrans would simply lose their human form when away from their monarch, which - considering that the Zaterrans are apparently able to camouflage themselves, and the fact that each time Reptile removes his mask, we see a reptilian head, underneath - could very well indicate that this change is only superficial and not an actual de-evolution into a new form. 66.233.188.87 13:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Since it's pretty much been established that Reptile and his race are NOT human, the only real reason why fans are so adamant that he's 'de-evolving' into a more reptilian form, is because he was originally introduced as a very human-looking ninja, and that's the look that stuck in most people's minds. So, sort of like the 'trukk not munky' argument of Transformers 'purists', some fans decry Reptile's more lizard-like appearance as 'devolving' to voice their disgust over the character moving away from what they grew up with.SynjoDeonecros 03:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I couldn't find the image but I went to a walkthrough and founf the name and krypt number. "Reptile de-evolution" in Krypt PF in MK: Deadly Alliance 24.91.155.84 23:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * A screenshot of the Krypt image could be uploaded, as long as it was a high quality image and if it's tagged properly to avoid copyright issues. A digital camera would work nicely in this situation, but I'm afraid I don't have one.  — №tǒŖïøŭş  4lĭfė   ♫   ♪
 * Right, and the fact that he is becoming more bestial not only in appearance but in personality as well has no bearing on this.... The S 05:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

POV Alert
Some guy keeps putting "Reptile is a POPULAR character" at the beggining of the page. I don't know about you but the popular part sounds like a fanboy opinion and we all know fanboy opinions are frowned upon here. Is it vandalism? I've reverted it 2 times. MightyKombat 15:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Reptile and Khameleon
How come there's no mention of Khameleon or what happened between them in MK3? Her Armageddon bio also revealed that he ended up betraying her in the end.

 * He was originally red, that's what the book says. If you look you'll notice in interviews regarding Kitana the outfit for her was also red. It's an easier color for programmers to palette swap in stop motion.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 20:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Er, I know. I just thought that reptile's green color was a mix between yellow (Scorp) and blue (Sub) colors, but not a contrast to red and blue. It's more than likely, especially if remember that Reptile actually WAS mix between Scorpion and Sub-Zero (he had special moves of both of them).

The "overhaul" cleanup, what exactly happened, and why

Excuse me "isn't necessary"? Let's see, line after the line of changes:

 * Titles were not linked in the caption;
 * "MK Rebirth" had no italics (but unnecessary "MK");
 * "Now part of Outworld" - "Now", like what - today?
 * "weapons" - Needs be "weapon", or else the whole weapon section won't show at all in the article! (Actually most of the related articles had this "weapons" bug... fixed now, except here, becuase someone thought "isn't necessary"...)

And that's just in his character infobox. Then there is mess in the text: very detailed game guide stuff (how to unlock him in the game, like if it was something essential, instead of saying: "Reptile is an unlockable hostile character that can't be played"), randomly places categories (instead of being sorted alphabetically), and so on. So... Come on! --194.145.185.229 (talk) 12:55, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh and also really go and see this GamesRadar article that is linked just above. --194.145.185.229 (talk) 12:55, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
