[edit] Merge

It seems that Tail and Tails should really be merged into one disambiguation page. They are just variations of each other, and refer to many of the same articles. Any objections? -- Natalya 19:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Ditto to that. It solves both problems in one step! -- Natalya 17:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think this was a bad idea. There should still be a tails differentiation page. It is wrong for [tails] to redirect to "Miles "Tails" Prower" when there is another page called "Tails (Lisa Loeb Album)" and no reason to prefer one over the other. Theoh 18:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

  • It shouldn't - Tails is supposed to redirect here, and will continue to do so absent consensus to the contrary. BD2412 T 20:19, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

  • Okay, I cleaned it up quite a bit. Man, there was a lot of extraneous linkage on that page! My favorite was "a long braid or tress of hair is sometimes called a tail, although queue is probably a better description". Anyway, I wasn't quite sure where to stick the link to Reverse (coin), if anyone has a better idea. -- Natalya 18:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Human tails

The article says that all human tails are just fleshy lumps covered with skin, but this site claims that there are several known cases where a skeletal structure is present. Just saying..

[edit] Tail or tail-like?

The article calls the sections at the end of all animals tails, but it also mentions "however some invertebrates have tail-like appendages", which implies for instance the mentioned scorpion example doesn't have a true tail. Later in the article there is no distinction made, everything is simply a tail. So, which is correct? Retodon8 08:11, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Don`t animals use tails to swat flies? Andycjp Advent 2006

[edit] There is a man with a 13 inch tail in India.

I find this sentence problematic because it's only citation is an article on ananova. Ananova is not exactly known for accuracy. Thoughts? thx1138 05:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

All animals that has tails are animals.

[edit] detached but busy lizard tails and bee stingers

Dancing detached lizard tails, and continuously pumping detached bee stingers must belong to some group of autonomous items called ... what? Mention it in the appropriate articles. Jidanni 19:26, 26 July 2007

[edit] Doctors are cruel

They cut off our tails and without our tails some things get harder like balancing. If I kept my tail it would make me win a balancing game at P.E at school :'( . Please tell me why doctors cut off our tails.
