There are some crazy idiots in the world who want to pretend Humans are somehow unique and "better" and if another animal does something it's not like how humans do it. Such fools. Anonywiki (talk) 00:00, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The automatic imitation section is awful and does not explain social mimicry at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:C72:AF00:9802:AD5B:8BA:3CAB (talk) 01:59, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Adam of the Bible mentioned. I doubt that many anthropologist support the statement that all human cultures are an imitation of Adam of the Bible. 1 week and I will correct this piece of misinformation, if it is not supported by reference. 72.204.28.203 (talk) 10:04, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this meant to be included, "Imitation is a replication of a meme."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.51.112.58 (talk) 04:41, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strictly speaking, this isn't legally necessary but it will help if files get moved or deleted: With this set of consecutive edits, the then-current content of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Imitation in animals was pasted into Imitation as a new section, with minimal or no editing. Here is the edit history of that page:

Hi all, I am a student editor and I just wanted to mention that I made an edit to the imitation in animals section, as there was a clean up banner for it. I Edited the definition in it for the imitation in animals, making it a bit more clear and concise. I also added references which were missing previously. But I cannot see my citations in the regular view, but when I go into edit mode, they are there. So I am not sure why it is doing that. I will go back and look at it and try to fix it again soon.

The citations look to be added and it looks all good now
