Talk:Chamois

message: I am about to broaden the article so it covers, much more specifically, the two species of chamois. As yet, Rupicabra pyrenaica does not have its own article so, I'd suggest, this is the right place for it. Have a look and let me know what you think. — Dave (Talk | contribs) 02:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please undo that. 1st - Pyrenean Chamois indeed has its own article. 2nd - Chamois is the name for Rupicapra rupicapra, not for both.--Svetovid 10:57, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, you're right. I don't know how I missed that. I shall, indeed,make the changes to separate them out again. The thing I don't understand, though, is this: both animals are known as "chamois" so, in effect, there are two species of chamois, no? Why can't they be covered in the same article just as the two species of chimpanzee are covered in one article? In any case, I'll tease them apart but it still seems odd to me. — Dave (Talk | contribs) 15:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. I think I see how I missed the page on the Pyrenean animal. There is no redirect from Pyrenean chamois to Pyrenean Chamois, as there should be. I think it was the red link that threw me for a loop. I'll make the appropriate re-direct now. Cheers! — Dave (Talk | contribs) 15:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

text: One is Pyrenean Chamois and the other one is just Chamois (its subspecies; Alpine chamois being the best known one).--Svetovid 21:21, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Two species of chamois

message: On the Wikipedia page about Gilding, chamois is mentioned and directs a person to this page.
Then all that is mentioned is basically that a chamois is an animal.  If someone has the knowledge and ability to fill this out a little more, I think it would help to make a better article.  For instance is the chamois I buy to dry my car made from this animal?  Is the leather often used as a filter or can it even be used that way?  Just some suggestions.  If I erred in the format or content of this post, feel free to delete it.
However, I did read the Talk Pages Guidelines before posting and THINK I fall within the realms of a "good post."  Remember Don't Bite The Newbies.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I recently reverted edits by , however upon further investigation, I'm confused if this article is in fact about the genus Rupicapra or the species R. rupicapra. The Taxonomy section treats Chamois as the genus: 
 The chamois (along with sheep and goats) are in the goat-antelope subfamily (Caprinae) of the family Bovidae. There are two species of chamois in the genus Rupicapra:
 R. rupicapra
 R. pyrenaica
However, there is also a Rupicapra genus article and a Pyrenean chamois species article, so it would seem this article is about the species R. rupicapra and not the genus. If that is the case, the taxonomy section should be moved to the Rupicapra article. Perhaps someone more familiar with this topic can fix this? I've reverted my edit in the mean time.
