# Talk:Mussie

In the uncited section "The Creature" it states that the closest source of open water is at the mouth of the Saint Lawrence, this is not true. The Muskrat river that flows out from Muskrat Lake to the Ottawa River remains open all year due to the current. But I can't change it incase the author is quoteing a source. This section, though informative, should be removed until citation can be introduced. What does everyone think.--Mckeznak 02:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi; see this screenshot, which was taken from page 231 of this book. Should hopefully be some things you can incorporate there. J Milburn (talk) 13:18, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll work it in when I'm at my real computer. Tezero (talk) 13:19, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Reviewing this. --PresN 18:59, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Cute little article!
The first paragraph is a bit sketchy on the "one or many" question- it's all written as if it's a single entity, like Nessie, which makes putting "number of individuals" as if it's a trait of a single individual read oddly.

"who is rumored to live in Muskrat Lake" - "which", you refer to Mussie as "it" or "the creature" everywhere else, so "who is misplaced
"Which" wouldn't exactly be right, so I've gone with "that". Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
"Canadian pioneer Samuel de Champlain wrote about it" - that + "in the early seventeenth century"

"fruitlessness" is a strange word to use
Changed to "futility". Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Paragraph 2 of Characteristics is unclear as to how Mussie got there- I presume you mean that Muskrat Lake was once connected to the sea?
Reworded. Tezero (talk) 23:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
"Robison is as follows." - colon, not period
Done, and moved the citation accordingly. Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
"independently of the truth" - independent
Done. Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Can you archive that pdf source? That doesn't seem like it will be long-term stable.
Oddly, I can't. Wayback is completely down now and WebCite still isn't working. I'll put it on my Google Drive for safekeeping, like I did with those two YouTube videos from the Sonic X article, until I find a better way to store them on the Internet. Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
A photo would be nice for the article - this flickr image, supposedly of Mussie, is free (CC-BY 2.0), and this one (directly discussed in the article) is not, but you may be able to ask the photographer to re-license it as CC or public domain.
Added the first one. Tezero (talk) 23:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Looks like a snapping turtle. 162.251.16.246 (talk) 07:57, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

That's a Snapping turtle.
