[edit] Category versus list
I've just created Category:Panthera species, which gathers all the articles on Panthera species. Does this duplicate what is done here at Panthera, or is the category useful as well? (I also created some missing redirects, and bypassed some double redirects, so the work wasn't entirely about creating the category). Carcharoth 14:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Also compare with this. Carcharoth 14:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
This page needs to be rewritten completely. This time with links and facts because most of this is incorrect.dnlcaissie 11:36 EST 1/FEB/2007

[edit] Age of Panthera
I made this edit, because this paper does not dicribe the Panthera as the most recently evolved cats, but mention older papers, which says, that the Pantherinae are the most recently evolved felid group. But as the Felinae are (According to all recent studies) a sister taxon of the Pantherinae, both groups are exactly of the same age. But that does not say anything about the genus Panthera itself.--Altaileopard 15:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Evolution
Ok, before someone inserts a tree again, see Talk:Jaguar#Taxonomy_section before making an arbitrary choice for a specific tree. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 17:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Technical problems with the iw
The interwiki listing is hidden, but I don't know how to fix it.--RR' 13:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Panther" etymology
the dictionary entry at <http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=panther> poses a different etymology for "panther." the Tiger article here links to this, claiming the greek "all hunting/beast" is folk etymology. anyone have additional sources? Metanoid (talk, email) 11:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
