message: I think an error occurred: the subfamily of common Eland is not "Bovinae" but "Antilopinae". I'm going to correct it.--Suhardian 20:12, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Taxonomic Information System, American Society of Mammalogists Index for the Mammalian Species and  classify eland in subfamily Bovinae. I Have reverted it back to Bovinae. -- Rooivalk 05:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

text: These pages seem to agree, although the 3.5m figure does seem too high.  I've adjusted it.   . Lunkwill 09:37, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for your suggestion. I have observed that Taurotragus is the commoner name, and the article already mentions that Tragelaphus is often used. It can not be really changed till we are completely sure. Sainsf <^>Talk all words 12:52, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this page be moved to Common eland, lower case "e"?  Unless I'm missing something, that seems to be the implication of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna)#Capitalisation and italicisation.  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 13:34, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I have always thought of moving the article. After all, the whole article should have the 'e' either lower case or higher case, the former being more appropriate.--Sainsf <^> (talk) 11:50, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The size and weight information in the lead is not entirely consistent with that at Common eland#Physical description. I would suggest that the lead be changed to give a less precise set of ranges consistent with the later information. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:37, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: . I have fixed it. I think it is consistent now.--Sainsf <^> (talk) 12:14, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Size information inconsistent 

message: With all due respect to the nominator and the reviewer (of GA2) who have made this a well-written article, I see some problems here esp. in the references. Not all of them are templated/done in the same way, and some of them are not to reliable sources. References 3, 4, and 5 are not to a reliable source; surely there are better sources for these etymologies. The citation for ref 7 is incomplete, and ditto for 10 (besides, Oracle Thinkquest is NOT a reliable source). I corrected an error in the template for 16 (and put the notes in the proper order). Note 17 cites a chapter, but the inclusive page numbers aren't given (and it has pp. for a single page). This was a good reason to not pass it as a GA; if these errors are corrected and more, better sources are found, it can maintain GA status. Sorry, but them's the shakes. Drmies (talk) 15:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: . I have fixed these errors and added good references for the etymology. --Sainsf <^>Talk all words 05:35, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
