[edit] Name change
Neccessary- maybe should be called by species namec] IF you need to tell me something - Like that's gonna happen 15:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- I agree! This page should be renamed in Abingdon Island Tortoise, the common name of its subspecies, and the part of the last survivor "Lonesome George" can be placed into a separate section on that page. Peter Maas\talk 15:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- I dunno, so far it seems that George by himself accounts for that entire species and all information about it... Although the change is feasible, I don't think it's really necessary--Crazydrunkhobo —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.108.185.112 (talk) 02:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
I agree that the name shouldn't be changed. A species or subspecies refers to a group of animals. In this case there's only one. - 142.179.196.119 15:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- True, but the part of Lonesome George could be intergrated into the subspecies' article. Peter Maas\talk 16:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

- I agree with User:Perlnerd666 and Peter Maas...the article should be titled Abingdon Island Tortoise and Lonesome George can be a separate header within the article. Considering that there is species information, such as "Extinct in the Wild"-- and this certainly does not apply to George, but his species...User:Bob the Wikipedian75.16.244.219 00:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Poor George. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.22.71.123 (talk) 19:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm well say, for example, we were going to talk about a famous person, we wouldn't place them in the human article and discuss them there. Likewise, we wouldn't talk about humans in an article about a famous person either. I think that there should be two seperate articles.--Stikman 21:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC) Name should be changed for sure. Funkynusayri (talk) 15:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New picture?
Hey guys, there are tons of better pictures of George on the net. Maybe we should get a new one, the one that's already there kind of sucks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.1.90.110 (talk) 19:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fact Check
At the bottom of the external links section is the following sentence. "The Tortoise is no longer endangered because of a massive orgy at the New York zoo the endangered tortoise is safe." Aside from horrid grammar, this seems to have no bearing on the External Links section, it needs citation, and it seems to have no factual content. Could someone either delete this sentence, or verify, cite, and move it to a proper location? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.169.204.188 (talk) 06:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
