thank you Kobuu- please reconsider removing the incorrect information - there were hundreds of people who contributed along the way - but no one stayed - you have your information from kickstarter and that was before the project began - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dext0Bg0mA - please view the Discovery Channel Interview which took place in 2012 and then when we finished - (2012) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-6wWIZWK0

(2014) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tijO4g1JC-Y

in the beginning, when we were trying to explain the project and raise funding and sponsors, we had a publicist and were using crowdfunding, we created a media buzz but never raised the funds and everyone left the project - Discovery Channel followed me around and filmed the project and followed the project for the last two years of its completion - without other artists - please dont describe me as the brains behind the project - i am the artist — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lloydsite (talk • contribs) 14:42, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

99.107.66.114 (talk) 14:30, 16 September 2014 (UTC)Attn: Kobuu - edit request - your reverted edits are not accurate - my update corrected all the statistics and people involved - feel free to omit any promotional info although i am not sure what that is - you took all your info from a KickStarter Campaign that never raised the money for the project, and as a result, i ended up creating the project without assistance and raising funds with other sponsors - Discovery Channel interview that will explain the story: Part 1 (2012) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-6wWIZWK0 Part 2 (2014) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tijO4g1JC-Y[reply]

You are incorrect. I have not taken any information from a Kickstarter campaign. In fact, the only information that I added came from the cited sources that were published. Kickstarter is inherently original content and not a valid source.

Regarding your edits, while you are clearly personally involved, you cite no sources. You may have private information that is contrary to the published sources but it is unuseable in its current form. If you were interviewed, is there an article? Please feel free to cite sources and edit content appropriately. Also, this is by no means my article. I found it by chance and made good faith edits based on information I found on the internet. Your edits are original content not verifiable by any source. By the standards of Wiki, YouTube is not a reliable source (see: WP:NOYT).

To your second point, promotional material, please see here: WP:PROMO.Kobuu (talk) 14:44, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

this information is not correct

Note: the very first article in Wikipedia was accurate - re: Lloyd Goradesky is artist - the sole artist - his art and his Scalgio printing technique

the kickstarter video was trying to raise funds, when money was not initially available, everyone left the project and never started the project with the artist - Lloyd Goradesky

ref: these are Discovery Channel interviews -

Thank you, Llyod, for your insight, however, as it was noted in the article by source, you may have been the artist behind the Gator but there were other artists that contributed to the entirety of the project. Kenneth Rowe and Waddy Thompson are on record for having contributed to the overall project and properly cited from sources. Edit request denied. Also, I will be removing the additional links as those links point to articles already cited. Kobuu (talk) 12:05, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
