[edit] References

There are no links to any of the supposed references, so there is no way that another editor can validate a single one of any of the claims in this article. In addition, almost every one of the references either comes from this person, from someone with the same last name, or from someone with the name he used before he called himself this. Very few independent sources, if any. Corvus cornix 04:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

None of the articles or books are available online, how is one supposed to link to them? Most of the newspaper articles cited are from the 80s and early 90s. Few newspapers (if any) provide online copies of anything that old.Awcolley 05:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Can you provide ISBN numbers? Corvus cornix 05:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I have added some ISBNs. I doubt the items published by QTC Press have an ISBN, but I will check.

I have added all the ISBNs we could find. Books published by QTC Press or Thunderbird Free Press do not have ISBNs. I have edited this article significantly to reduce the amount of unverifiable claims and "bold assertions". Most, if not all, remaining assertions have been clarified as expressed opinions, viewpoints, memories, etc. I am now looking for online references for dissenting opinions/viewpoints to bring this article closer to NPOV nirvana.

After several hours of Googling, I have been unable to find any substantive dissenting opinions online. Awcolley 03:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legitimacy

I am the co-author of "Return of the Thunderbeings" with William Coppola (aka "Iron Thunderhorse"). Shortly after the publication of the book I disassociated myself with Mr. Coppola. Most of his life is his own fictional creation I later learned, particularly his Native American ancestry claims (the Texas Attorney General's office has contacted me on several occasions about his claims that I continue to be one of his ardent supporters, which I am NOT). Mr. Coppola used me for his own motives which was to further his own causes. He is indeed a talented writer and gifted, creative artist, but many if not most of his claims of his lineage, experiences, and knowledge are fictional.

Can you offer any proof that you are Donn LeVie (or Le Vie), Jr, and more specifically the one who co-authored Return of the Thunderbeings? What evidence can you offer to substantiate your accusations that William Coppola/Iron Thunderhorse is misrepresenting his lineage, experiences, and knowledge? If you have evidence, it needs to be heard; if not, then why are you impugning Iron Thunderhorse? Awcolley 03:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
