Adelie Penguin → Adélie Penguin — Correct species name contains an acute accent over the first "e." --Uthabiti 06:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC) copied from WP:RM Bobblehead 23:09, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in support of the move
[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move
- Oppose. Just another example of a misbelief that just because something can be spelled with non-English characters, it should be spelled with non-English characters on English Wikipedia. Gene Nygaard 20:46, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. Exactly what Gene said. Plus 'most common' - 73k hits sans accent - trumps whatever is deemed to be "correct" - 2k hits. 76.22.4.86 00:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose using the same argument that Gene Nygaard used. Voretus 20:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments:
It is, of course, Pygoscelis adeliae which is the international, language-indepedent version. Gene Nygaard 20:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Argentinean accents?
>> Adélie penguins appeared in the film Happy Feet, with Argentinean accents.
Argentinean accents? I don't think so. Their accents were variations on the Chicano style. Very different if you're familiar with both. I've read that Robin Williams has claimed that his accent was supposed to be Argentinean but he's also acknowledged never having been to Argentina. His accent was a little hard to pin down (Williams tends to shift voice a lot, even within the same character) but the supporting Latino voices (Carlos Alazraqui, Johnny Sanchez III, Jeff Garcia and Lombardo Boyar) definitely all sounded distinctly Chicano / East L.A.. Interestingly Carlos was actually born and raised in California by Argentine parents but at least in this role did not sound Argentine at all. Thought I would point this out since Argentines tend to be a bit sensitive to the American tendency to stereotype Latinos.

- Just drop the "accents" bit entirely - unless you have a movie producer saying "yes, we deliberately went for X accents", it would be sheer speculation on our part. Let's just stick to the verifiable facts. Stan 13:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Penguin habitats
It is not correct to say that only 2 types of penguin live on the Antarctic mainland. I have observed Gentoo and Chinstraps living on the Antarctic peninsula and the comment should be revised to reflect what is trying to be said acurately. 89.168.41.213 22:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)james Bartosik, james@bartosik.org89.168.41.213 22:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- How do we know you're not making this up? For that matter, we don't even know who you really are. Now if you have a published reference, not just unverifiable anecdotes, we're interested. Stan 02:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
