Talk:Barbary macaque

message: * Support: Although "Barbary Ape" is common, it is also misleading; They are not apes, but macaques. Barbary Ape should of course redirect to this article, and noted as an alternate name in the text. Tom Radulovich 23:23, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names) offers the caveat: "In cases where the common name of a subject is misleading (For example: "tidal wave" would be a misleading title since these phenomena have nothing to do with tides), then it is sometimes reasonable to fall back on a well-accepted alternative (tsunami, for example)." This is one of these instances. Tom Radulovich 05:33, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

message: the monkey's size as stated in this article (6,5m, 10ft, or whatever) is absolutely, incredibly wrong!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.23.5.93 (talk) 12:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Monkey Mayhem 

message: I read in a highly unreliable source (a jehovas wittness free booklet, fwiw) that these monkies came to gibraltar through a now lost secret tunnel connecting gibraltar and africa. Is there any reliable source that can corroborate that this story exists, and is sufficiently well known to merit mention in the articel. -- 82.181.254.50 (talk) 14:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I most seriously doubt it.  More likely is that they took advantage of one or more periods when there was a dry-land connection between Morocco and Spain, and the Mediterranean was a series of disconnected lakes. AnonMoos (talk) 23:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: However, there's something about the story at Gibraltar_Barbary_Macaques#Myth. -- AnonMoos (talk) 23:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A tunnel, that sounds less likely than them walking over before Hercules seperated the Pillars. Do this modern day fountains of myth have any explanations for why there was a skull of one in Ireland? A tunnel to Avalon and a quick boat ride maybe? Or maybe it was a Jesus monkey and walked. Do you have any actual sources for these popular beliefs? Cheap tourist book or something?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 17:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tunnel to Gibraltar? 

message: I have posted a long comment in the Talk section of the main Macaque genus article, about the renaming of all the macaque species articles to "[Name] Macaque" (e.g. "Barbary Macaque") from their traditionally names (e.g. Barbary Ape).
Would you please take a look at that here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macaque#Killer_Dolphins
And then correct this individual species article.
Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.30.135 (talk) 12:12, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is very well written and organized. The separate section headers are very clear and helpful in presenting information. I've only made a few small changes in sentence structure. Many of your sentences are long and wordy, so I've shortened some or switched things around so it's easier to understand. Njoymusic2 (talk) 23:27, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

message: The lead image for this article is very good, but perhaps not appropriate as the lead image.  For example, it does not show the whole body, and does not show they are tail-less.  I propose it be replaced with one of these below.  The original image is good and could easily be placed in the "social behaviour" section.
