Roy Thomas is trying to get credit for character creations including Wolverine.

This is a really bad look for Thomas.
Feels like a stolen valor type of thing.
He was in the room and maybe suggested the name.
Maybe the Inker and colorist should make a claim.

Well, Stan Lee did teach Roy everything he knows. 
(Sorry Stan...I love you and miss ya!)
The sad part is Roy's legend is strong enough without now taking credits away from dead people who can't speak for themselves. He shouldn't and doesn't need to do stuff like this.

Wolverine is a really good example of how characters are created by a committee and don't really have a single creator.
Yeah, there's Wein, Trimpe, and JRSr. And then Gil Kane redesigned the costume into the iconic one we know today. Cockrum gave him a face under the mask. And Claremont and Byrne actually developed the character into something interesting. Without those two, the character probably would have been forgotten by the early 80s. (At one point early in the X-Men run, they considered killing him off.)
