Talk:Wildebeest

message: I think that a link to the GNU project is NOT completely irrelevant. The only difference between gnu and GNU is the case and there is a reference to this page in the GNU article.
On the other hand, no matter what the subject matter being discussed, one must not be afraid to bring GNU into the mix.  connor rocks, if you will, the link that gnus would probably not be as insanely popular as they are today *without* the GNU project.
gnus aren't insanely popular you silly
popular animals are fierce bears and cuddly penguins
--------------
The opening line 
"GNU" redirects here. 
is untrue: GNU has (as then stated) its own article and typing that with double quotes takes you there also.
But it is output by a redirect macro and I don't know how to remove 1st 3 words without removing other referral to the uppercase acronym software topic by breaking the macro. Iph (talk) 16:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Currently the species box at the bottom of the taxobox lists the two Connochaetes species and three out  of the five sub-species. Personally I think only the two species should be listed. What are your thoughts? -Rooivalk 07:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This article has rather poor formating, the text and pictures should be re-positioned to make the paragraphs more uniform. I dont know how to do this myself, otherwise I would. Harley peters 02:53, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: Anybody have a source for the claim that "implausibility of gnu" is the usual collective?  This expression only gets eight google-hits: one is this article, and the other seven could well have this article as their source (they are not reliable sources themselves).

replies: text: Removed the link to collective animal names since the list does not include gnu and lists wildebeests as a herd not an implausibility 152.17.125.167 (talk) 16:58, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I think it is extremely unlikely that the cheetah, a slender and vulnerable cat, preys on Wildebeest. They must prey only on very young animals. Should this be explicitly stated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.159.164.142 (talk • contribs) 19:42, 4 June 2009 
3rd Jan 2010: Have removed " A predator in the middle would get trampled. " - this is nonsense!
To the person above - cheetah do hunt down wildebeest.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.201.218.226 (talk) 09:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: There is a group of Earthlings that protest in order Wildebeests are renamed as
WielderBeasts.
No government supports that change because of economic reasons and dark deals with Wildebeest bribed trade unionists  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.84.199.7 (talk) 08:26, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wielder-Beast vs Wildebeest 

message: In the article it is stated that "Wild individuals can be competitors of commercial livestock, and can transmit fatal diseases like rinderpest".
As of 2011 rinderpest has been completely eradicated. This part of the article should be changed to reflect that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.189.169.139 (talk) 16:20, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

message: The lemma "wildebeest" sounds really funny to a speaker of the Low Countries' languages, because it simply means "wild animal". It's not a perfect lemma, could you please consider it being switched to "gnu" which apparently makes more sense, in spite of Afrikaans' special expression? --Ghettobuoy (talk) 03:04, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The title of the article depends on the name most commonly used in reliable independent sources, and in this case is "wildebeest" rather than "gnu". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:39, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

message: The taxobox template has the name "(Lawton’s ñu)" in it. I'm not sure where this is coming from. Additionally, "Lawton" is not mentioned in the article. Somerandomuser (talk) 01:26, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure where it came from. The name does not seem to be widely used so I have removed it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:22, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
