Reggie's ethnicity?

Does anyone know Reggie's ethnicity? He looks like he could be of African or possibly Indian descent. Just curious. --M.Neko 08:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm curious to this as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Salty! (talk • contribs).

He's parents are both from Haïti.Fågelina 19:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I've added the information to the article. Just64helpin 17:20, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Requests

I hereby request a "Names Taken" and "Asses Kicked" section to be added. Thank you.

See Reggie's Wikiquote page. 129.8.206.111 10:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't someone update this, as to include mario kart ds online event of dec.20 2005? and maybe also add a picture? What do you think? ~spotco

Photograph

I laughed so hard at the picture along with his entry, he looks so insane, can we PLEASE get a new one where he looks a little more normal?

I agree. That picture is terrible. I've uploaded a new one that looks much more professional and he looks more dignified. I would like to add another one where he's speaking publicly. He looks better in action. Throw 06:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Unfortuantely, that image is a free one, and we'd have to find another free image that would be better. Free image trumps fair use every time. Hbdragon88 07:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Can someone update that picture? Reggie looks, well, pretty terrible in it. This pic <http://www.joystiq.com/media/2006/01/Reginald_Fils-Aimejoy.jpg> seems to be a good one, especialyl sicne it reflects him working for Nintendo. I can't figure out how to host the image on Wikipedia and not steal the bandwidth of that other site.

You don't, you have to upload it to these servers. However, you must verify the copyright status of the image. Hbdragon88 04:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

yes, please, something about that it just not right.(65.115.123.226 18:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC))

Again, we desperatly need a better picture of the poor chap. SOMEONE must have an image we can use: has anyone tried asking nintendo if he has a useable biography picture? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.137.159.61 (talk • contribs).

We are not here to make people look nice in articles, we are to give information that is verifiable and free. This image is free, and Nintendo always copyrights their content, so any image they can supply is very likely to be unusable by us. -- ReyBrujo 13:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Agree, but that picture makes him look less respectalbe IMO, it would be nice to show something that look respectful and professional, since he is the president of Nintendo. IMO, I rather have no picture than use that one. It is unfortunately that we have to follow the copyright term. Nauto 04:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Irrelevant paragraph

The fourth paragraph (the one composed entirely of a quote from Iwata) seems to be completely pointless. Is there some reason to keep it there? - Jaytan 11:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Ryan Aime Trivia

"Ryan Aime was a prolific supporter of the civil rights movement in America and is rumoured to be related to Eddie Murphy"

Does this really belong in the opening sentence? Seems more appropriate for a trivia section. Xnolanx 20:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Info removal

IT seems like lots of stuff has been removed. I think there should really be lots added. Has things like the Quote section been taken off? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewboy64 (talk • contribs)

The removals I've seen look reasonable, though perhaps some of the information should have been simply moved around in the article instead of taken out. The quotations section is still there although there's only a few since we have the wikiquote link. Xnolanx 16:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

New info on Reggie?

It seems a bit ridiculous we can't even find Reggie's birthday. The article really needs a lot more background information such as where he was born and to who and how he began his career.Throw 00:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Reggie's last name

Could somebody explain to me how his last name is pronounced? I've heard countless pronounciations but never heard a confirmed one. --TonicBH 23:51, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

His name is pronounced the way it's displayed on this article "FEEZ-oh-MAY". Here's an interview done with Fils-Aime where the interview pronounces it "FEEZ-oh-MAY" to his face, so if it's pronounced wrong he probably would have corrected him: http://youtube.com/watch?v=20UzMTxGn2U Throw 16:11, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

According to Seattle Times it's "Fees-uh-mey".

I editted the article in accordance. JackSparrow Ninja 18:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I went back to the previous version. The IPA construction is the correct way of displaying such information. However, it could be possible to add this "familiar" pronunciation in the article after the correct IPA construction, for those readers who can't understand it. -- ReyBrujo 02:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

There's a link to the IPA pronunciation page now, for anyone who might need it. 129.8.206.111 09:52, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

So I have to read that whole page, then study the IPA, before I can get past the first line of the article? Seems a tad contorted for the sake of two words being added.81.149.182.210 19:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Does Fils-Aime have that apostrophe thing on top of his name? Can someone confirm it? If so, shouldn't this page be moved to the appropriate title? I tried checking on some sites, but all of them generally refer to him as the plain Fils-Aime. I don't know how we'd find out unless we somehow got a copy of his birth certificate or something... Hbdragon88 03:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean an acute accent? Yes, there's an acute accent on the last "e." In French it is spelled "Fils-Aimé" Fågelina 19:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

...And "fils aimé" means "loved son" in french... useless trivia but still :) --Dez26 22:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

New article about him

There is an article at seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2003405192_nintendo12.html that may be useful. -- ReyBrujo 05:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Front page of The Seattle Times. I added some stuff, but everyone is encouraged to add more. Scepia 05:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Quotes

That half of this article (or more) is dedicated to bulleted quotes is a problem. It's why Wikiquote exists. It's why there is a transwiki to Wikiquote. Can someone please weed through the quotes in this article and transwiki the ones that aren't on Wikiquote to Wikiquote and those that are, just delete? --Psyphics_ΨΦ 21:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Done.[1] 129.8.206.111 10:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I was responsible for that quote farm. Nice job on the transfer. - Throw 21:12, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
