[edit] Protected?

Should this page become protected or semi-protected? There seems to be a whole lot of vandalism going on on the page over the last 2 weeks or so. Any known reason for this? If someone would protect the page these attacks may stop, correct? I'm bringing this up now because I noticed that Gowron attempted to broach the subject in June 06 without anything really being done about it. Cheers, ABVS1936 06:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mythical Figure

May be it will be best if we change to mythical, no evidence of Yeti only myth!

[edit] Expedition Everest gets the shaft

At least twice the mention of Expedition Everest in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park has been deleted. The most recent edit to this was mine and went as follows:

On April 7, 2006, Walt Disney Imagineering premiered an attraction based on the legend of the yeti called Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain in Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom. Inside the waiting area is a Yeti museum, complete with "Yeti-damaged" items and cement-cast footprints.

Now I understand the concern that it sounds a little like an ad, and I'm sure someone can reword it so it's more appropriate for an encyclopedia, but I don't see why a theme park attraction that's put so much emphasis on the legend of the Yeti, and so much research into its authenticity (Imagineer Joe Rohde actually traveled to Nepal and interviewed natives about the legend of the Yeti), would be excluded from a section called "The Yeti in Pop Culture." Disney World is pop culture, and Expedition Everest focuses on the Yeti. If we aren't going to accept this as a validation, we may as well scrap the section altogether. A vague mention of the "Abominable Snowman" as a "comic relief" hardly constitutes an entire section.

Can anyone explain this to me? If not, I'm putting it back in. Justin The Claw 03:57, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bears

[edit] What trivia section?

This article has a section on appearances of the yeti in popular culture. It is a bit disorganised, but its contents are restricted to that subject; it is not a trivia section, and the advice there (like "convert to narrowly focused lists") doesn't apply. —Toby Bartels (talk) 19:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yeti vs Bigfoot

What are the weapons and tactics of the Yeti vs the Big Foot and who would win in a fight —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 19:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yeti Pokémon

Shouldn't someone add the Pokémon Snover and Abomasnow to the "Popular Culture" section? 24.124.88.11 (talk) 04:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
