Talk:Endling

message: Hi, I would like to see a section on the, I guess you would call it emotional connotations with the word and its meaning. The article linked in the notes (http://www.ejmagazine.com/2002a/history.html) touches on this - "It is deep-to-the-bone chilling to know the exact date a species disappeared from Earth. It is even more ghastly to look upon the place where it happened and know that nobody knew or cared at the time what had transpired and why." That's quite specific to the thylacine but hopefully you get my drift.

thread_title:   "Endling is also an artist whom works at snafu comics" 

message: I came across this article following a link from an article that mentions the recently-deceased tortoise, Lonesome George.  While the concept of an "endling" is valid, and is actually quite evocative, I can't find any reference to the term in either the Oxford English Dictionary or in the formal scientific literature (via Web of Knowledge).  As such, the term may simply be an ephemeral neologism.  However, given that the term will likely come into its own during the ongoing mass extinction, I'm reluctant to delete it (or flag it for deletion).  But it needs proper referencing of uses of it in reliable sources.  Google turns up a few, but it needs to be done properly (shorthand for: I'm too lazy).  --PLUMBAGO 12:43, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The section about the extinction of the thylacine appears to contradict Wikipedia's main article about that animal, e.g. was the last zoo specimen male or female, and who captured it? Both articles should be edited to bring them into harmony. Muzilon (talk) 00:05, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
