Earthquake prediction source

edit

"He also accurately predicted that an earthquake of above magnitude 7 would occur in New Zealand in November 2016." [citation needed] 89.205.41.242 (talk) 07:41, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Should have been removed some time ago. jps (talk) 15:13, 22 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Through direct talks with Frankie via Twitter, he states that he “guesses the earthquake predictions”. Not certain if that is true, but there is no real way of knowing. Unitdyw (talk) 04:33, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I moved this to a better section because the original location made no sense. Primefac (talk) 13:22, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Not a Forecaster, But A Reporter

edit

It must be stressed that Frankie is NOT a forecaster. He is a reporter. He gets his information from other weather forecasters and passes it off as his own. This is plagiarism at the finest. The article needs to be edited as he has zero credit for anything he reports in the forecast aspect. Many weather forecasters who do the predicting are being ripped off by him. So the wiki needs to reflect and stress that he is only a weather reporter and NOT a forecaster. 2605:E000:A460:100:E9FB:AE4A:8349:2144 (talk) 16:23, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

That sort of information can only be added if there is a reliable source that says so. Primefac (talk) 20:27, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Exactly. Virtually all forecasters glean their information from other various sources.   Aloha27  talk  20:16, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

What are his disabilities?

edit

The article only lists autism. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 04:48, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Is he required to have more than one? Primefac (talk) 11:03, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

For the record

edit

People around the world who use the various video sites know him. He was quite popular on LiveLeak and now with that defunct he can be found on other sites similar. I've watched his videos now and again for years in Thailand. He's an international celebrity for weather reports. 2405:9800:BA00:4199:8509:D400:391F:E4E2 (talk) 12:04, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
