King's Mill edit

Was King's Mill actually used in this episode? IIRC there was only that one long shot of a windmill at the beginning of the scene where Jonathan and Nicola are in the beer garden, and it didn't look like the usual one. Bradley0110 (talk) 13:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)Reply


Cryptid edit

What happened here? Where's the real article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.69.115.200 (talk) 19:02, 10 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I assume you're looking for the Mothman? Bob talk 21:50, 10 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Grinning Man in cryptozoology edit

There was an article here for several years about the Grinning Man cryptid, now it was replaced with some TV show article???? No disambiguation?--24.171.6.27 (talk) 01:08, 8 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Looking at the history, this article hasn't overwritten anything, so I'd say that if there was an article before it must have been deleted for being non-notable. As I said above, you're probably looking for the mothman. Bob talk 07:50, 8 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
The history was deleted when Robsinden ignorantly moved the Jonathan Creek episode into this space. Now, the history has been converted to that episode, not the previous cryptid article. There was an extensive discussion about its notability where it was decided that it was notable, so it didn't just get deleted, it got overwritten. Thank you for your incorrect theory, but the real contribution is getting the old article back. Geeky Randy (talk) 04:01, 8 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Excuse me, but "ignorantly"? Please check your facts before making accusations like that against other editors. The previous article was deleted following an AfD, and I wouldn't have been able to make the move if it hadn't. So Bob is quite correct, and his wasn't an "incorrect theory", yours is. --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Article moved again edit

The article has again been moved in reference to the above discussions. However, the Mothman article does not appear to make any mention of this alternative name and The Grinning Man (paranormal) appears to be up for deletion as we speak. I've made that redirect into a disambig for the time being, but presumably if that article is again deleted this should probably be moved back. Bob talk 17:53, 26 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
