message: I've listened to some South African radio programs from the 1960s and some were on Springbok radio.  I don't know if that was the only South African radio station or what, but shouldn't that be mentioned in this article? Jtyroler (talk) 21:48, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's significant enough to be mentioned here, given how long it's been off the air, and that it wasn't the main station of it's day (which would have warranted mention under "national symbols"). Having said that, I can see no reason why it shouldn't be listed at the dab page linked to at the top of the article. Anaxial (talk) 10:08, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi all, when articles go main page, I consider it an invitation to work on the English. This article has nice facts, but the sentences and paragraphs convey them poorly. Generally, when you see a semi-colon, or colon, it means the sentence has failed. I fixed a bunch of them, but I invite other editors to jump in and re-write these sentences better. There is a lot of minor repetition, and there are a lot of "in fact" and other pieces of fluff. cheers all Billyshiverstick (talk) 02:34, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

message: I moved the higher taxonomy section to the genus page, where I think it is better placed and makes this article more concise.  I hope this is not contraversial! Roy Bateman (talk) 06:39, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
