Talk:Panamanian white-faced capuchin

message: Ideas --> fuller taxonomic history - I added a bit. Also, more on which fruit are consumed, and finally any idigenous names or folklore from local people. You have a couple of days to get 1000 words...Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't find anything to add on folklore or indigenous names (other than the local Spanish name, mono carablanca, which just means white-faced monkey).  But if I counted right I got a bit more than 1000 extra characters in diet, tool use and taxonomy. Rlendog (talk) 03:38, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello, I am new to editing wikipedia and I'm not sure how to get permission to edit the main page. I work with capuchins in Guanacaste, and I noticed some of your 'facts' are incorrect. I've made the changes on the main page but, unfortunately, I have no citation for most of the facts I've changed because they are behaviors I've personally observed rather than anything cited in studies. If you wish, I can give you the official phone number and name of the study group and you can call to verify my references.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.237.97.98 (talk) 18:44, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, one of the basic tenants is no original research.  Thus personal observattions are not included until they are published in a reliable source.  Do you have reliable sources for the items you added? Rlendog (talk) 19:49, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I made a number of changes to your edits.  For now, where the previous information was cited to a reliable source, I restored those facts, since we should not pretend that sources say something they do not, and we should not replace reliably sourced information with uncited information. Where possible I equivocated to allow the possibility of exceptions to the sourced information.  Of course, if your observations get published in a reliable source (i.e., not self-published), we can incorporate that information.  I was able to find sources for the some of the information you added (although I needed to make some minor modifications to fit the sources) and added those sources to the article.  For a few items, I have not yet found sources but I will continue to look.  I have marked those with a tag that shows up as "citation needed".  I think most of those can be sourced, such as the fur sucking, which I think is mentioned in Defler (at least something similar is, so maybe some minor word changes may be needed).  But it would be helpful if you could add references where you know of any, since ultimately unsourced information and original research can be removed. Rlendog (talk) 01:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

:No. That is the article that covers the entire genus. This articles is about once species in that genus. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:50, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: However, there is a large section of that article that does need to move over to here. I'll work on that. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed merger from Capuchin_monkey

message: I'm not sure if this is the right page for helping hands to be mentioned, looking at the gallery
http://www.monkeyhelpers.org/ourfamily/monkeys/gallery/
there are no white-headed capuchins, only tufted. Do other organizations train white-headed capuchins? Primate keepers I have spoken to suggest the white-headed is less suitable, for a number of reasons, such as being more aggressive, less trainable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.184.228 (talk) 23:18, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The Panamanian white-faced capuchin has one recorded instance of infant cannibalization in the wild. Should this be in the article?

message: I removed the section "Intraspecific Social Interactions" because it has been unsourced for almost 2 years, and the style of its writing makes me concerned that it may have been copied from another source, though I am unsure of the exact source. A section on the behaviors described would be of value, if it were written in Wikipedia's own words. TigressDragonblade (talk) 14:34, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
