message: I must ask whether the Brachiozord and other Dino Thunder Zords that he controls should be added to the "Zords" section of Tommy Oliver's Biography cause I remember I saw it being there before as well as the Stegozord. 121.120.108.244 (talk) 09:18, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there evidence of Tommy's Green Ranger being fueled by Rita's power instead of the Morphing Grid? Cuz I've rewatched all of MMPR and neither Rita nor Zordon said anything about the Dragon coin being fueled by Rita's power. Or maybe Rita only had that one conenction to the Morphing Grid, cuz Tommy could still enter the Command Center when he was evil. Jedi Striker, 02:15, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: There was no white ranger in Power Rangers: Ninja Storm. Ninja Storm was the series after Wild Force. However, he was in season 3 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers where they had ninja powers.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:56, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Errrrmmm... 

message: Once Tommy became the white ranger he went in a power trip. If Jason was still there then he wouldn't be as powerful because he would've been in charge. As the black ranger Tommy took over as the lead because of his veteran status even though he was responsible for the evil of Mesogog in the first place. He was a decent red ranger, but he had to put down Rocky who while not as good as Jason, would have done alright without Tommy. Just because Tommy has had five ranger forms it doesn't mean he had to steal the thunder from the rest of the teams.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.30.150.154 (talk) 15:53, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I recommend the reference 15 claiming the white ranger is criticized for being racially stereotyping be either rewritten or removed entirely under the Reception section.  Not only is the sentence poorly written, the article used in wiki as a reference is grossly misinterpreted.  
It was written by a network critic claiming that the network executives themselves are projecting racial and gender stereotypes by making the rangers represent their race or gender IE: Black ranger is black, yellow ranger is Asian, pink ranger is a white girl, blue ranger is a white nerd, and red ranger is a hot white guy.  The network executives are then accused, in reference to the article, making the white ranger represent white supremacy over the other rangers with a white male in a white suit.  Even claiming the executives, in regards to the white ranger toy line, jokingly referring to the Christmas sales a "White Christmas".  
However, this is not a valid argument to be lorded over Tommy Oliver or Jason David Frank themselves.  There is no public stance or political statement about racism from either the show character or Jason Frank.  It is unfair to claim that the character in general represents racial stereotyping when the character adamantly stands for justice, teamwork, and friendship in the series.  Especially when a known critic that polices TV networks is criticizing the decisions and statements of network executives.  One must interpret the reference for what it is.  A crazy lady criticizing the TV network for things she has no evidence or references of.  It is a slander piece, not a real reference with proof!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3022:DFF0:45D4:3920:CA2A:B127 (talk) 20:35, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing how nobody contended this in nearly 5 years, I went ahead and removed it. In addition to the argument presented here, the criticism is easily disproven by the fact that Tommy's character was long established before he became the White Ranger, and he wasn't even intended to be the White Ranger initially (they were going to give the role to another character, but in the end decided to bring Tommy back instead due to his great popularity). 181.80.187.219 (talk) 23:41, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
