[edit] Famous People with Clubbed Thumb

I removed the following:

== Famous People with Clubbed Thumb ==

Anne Heche (US actress)

Megan Fox (US actress)

due to the lack of citation. IAW WP:BLP

Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles

User:Asams10: can we get some pictures here? DAMurphy 23:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I didn't add the names, however a google search yielded clear enough pictures for my liking. It's not up to me to add the references, though, but they are verifiable and will stay. --Asams10 23:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

WP:V I formally challenge verifiability of "Famous People with Clubbed Thumb" section. I have removed the section because it could be deemed defamatory to a live person. Do not re-insert the section until you provide links to a credible reference that proves that either Anne Heche or Megan Fox (or any other live person you add) has clubbed thumb(s).

WP:V - I cannot adequately verify that Anne Heche has clubbed thumb(s) from this photo. [1] Kgrr (talk) 08:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:V - I cannot verify that this photo of a hand belongs to Megan Fox [2] I cannot verify that Megan Fox has clubbed thumb(s) from this Maxim front cover [3] Kgrr (talk) 08:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Really? REALLY? You're saying that you need better proof than clear and unambiguous pictures? Sheez, it's denial. Can you verify she is a female from these pictures? Look at that right thumb! --Asams10 (talk) 13:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, since you failed to respond, your opinion is unique and not enough to counter the pictures that obviously show clubbed thumbs. You're WAY out in left field in your interpretation and unless you can prove that they're doctored, I'm putting them back. --Nukes4Tots (talk) 12:04, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Trait?

I cannot find a credible reference (other than mirrored copies of this article) that proves a connection between Brachydactyly and royalty. The reference given for the whole article "Abnormal Skeletal Phenotypes: From simple to complex diagnoses" can be searched, but does not turn up with the term "Royalty", "King" or "Queen". I have marked the appropriate items with fact tags.

However, another congenital anomaly, Polydactyly, seems to be related to royalty: "Polydactyly is the most common congenital anomaly of the upper limb. In England, it was believed to relate to royalty."D Glynn Bolitho (2006). Hand, Congenital Hand Deformities (English). Kgrr (talk) 07:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
