Questions about the deletion of two items under "Hoax allegations" from the "Patterson–Gimlin film" entry

(These items were: "Bigfoot--Sewing It Up" and "Ben River.") Their deletion doesn't show up atop the History page--why not? Who did it? ('Tweren't me.)

I can understand what I presume is the rationale for their deletion--they are speculative, partisan claims by non-expert amateurs. And including them opens the door to including a score of similar allegations--not to mention numerous counter allegations of authenticity. Since all can't be accommodated, maybe none should be.

However, the existence of such claims should at least be mentioned in a general, neutral way on wiki, because they are a vital part of getting a better understanding of the PGF topic. So I added 2 sentences under the "Hoax allegations" heading, namely:

"Online, it is possible to find analyses of images from the film that point to certain characteristics as indicative of a costume, or at least as consistent with one. It is also possible to find textual critiques of the statements and behavior of Patterson and Gimlin." RogerKni (talk) 08:53, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Your talk page got me interested -- a message in 2005, and then no more until 2015 -- so I checked your stats (here). Well, what took you so long? =) Welcome aboard... or back... or whatever. Hope the best for you, and see you around I hope, Herostratus (talk) 16:27, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

New footage

Did you see this footage? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw54YeCkS3M. Melonkelon (talk) 04:23, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

@Melonkelon. Thanks. It reminds me of the unstabilized footage I saw in 1976 in a theater. The jerky footage was easier to dismiss, because it was distracting. (I'm in regular communication with Streufert but he didn't mention this to me. Maybe tomorrow.)
