Just so yout don't accidentally get in trouble...

That theory of yours will never be on Giratina's page, we here at Bulbapedia don't put speculation on articles (except in special cases such as GSDS which is actually in the appendix section) and pride ourselves on factual information. Hope I don't seem too rude, and enjoy your stay here at Bulbapedia! The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 20:17, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I get that all the time. And when I say that, I mean every single time I say it, it gets shot down. Did you know the thing that pushed me to finally join was just to say my theory on here? And guess what? You do seem rude. Seriously. "Oh no, your theory will never be on Giratina's page. Ever. Enjoy your stay!" What the heck? "Oh, I want to be first to tell this guy his theory is lame, so I'll just comment before even reading it completly. Or even think out my comment!" And take a look at this, taken directly from the page: "Origin Giratina is possibly based on a basilisk. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a sauropod. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based off of a scorpion's stinger.

Name origin Giratina's name may be derived from platinum (written as プラチナ platina in katakana; compare to ギラティナ) and either guillotine, girasol, giraffe or girare (meaning to wander)."

There's speculation all over it! It's made up of mostly speculation!--Ultra 20:40, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Whoa, he was just trying to help...--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 20:31, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Shut Up, stop whining. Thats not speculation, thats an actual word that can be translated in two different ways. You were saying that it looks like a Sauropod, which is total opinion. I think it looks like a Flatworm, but i dont get to put that on the page. He's not being rude, hes jus telling you politely that you are wrong. your response was uncalled for and rude.User:DCM 22:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

DCM, I was never talking about it's shape. I was talking about the name. GIRATINA's name. The only time I could have been talking about the shape was that quote right up there. And that quote was from Giratina's page. I was only using it as an example. --Ultra 00:22, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Everything on Bulbapedia concerning the name origins of Pokémon is speculation unless it is explicitly said so by one of the Japanese creators or English re-namers. That's why the origins part is beneath trivia, near the very bottom of the article. The Dark Fiddler might have been a little rude, I suppose, and there are far-fetched name origins sections such as the one on Milotic's page. However, the legendary Pokémon pages tend to get a bit crowded, so I wouldn't add anything there that you wouldn't want to get axed. Hope that clarifies the issue a bit more than the others have.--RexRacer 00:41, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Finally an answer that isn't so rude! Or dilusional... Heh. Thanks. Would it be possible to ask people on Giratina's talk page without getting "Axed"? You know, see what they think, and if enough people find it reasonable, it could be added to the list of possibilities on Giratina's Name origins? --Ultra 00:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

You can talk page pretty much anything if it's relevant to the article at hand. Or you can make a poll. Why not re-write your name origins bit so that it it's as small as possible and then talk page it?--RexRacer 01:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. I was just about to edit that to put it there. I also was about to add to it, so it took me a while. Also, I am a member of other 'pedias, too. I know all about it. --Ultra 20:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
