Talk:Old World monkey

message: What is the dentition difference that is used to distinguish apes from old world monkeys? As far as I know, it is new world monkeys that have the odd dentition (2-1-3-3), whereas old world monkeys and apes have 2-1-2-3.

replies: text: OK, I just remembered that Apes have Y-5 teeth and old world monkeys have bilophodont teeth. Is this really the technical distinction of OW monkeys from apes? Iffykid 22:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Teeth

message: The following sentence is taken from the article's lead:
The Old World monkeys are native to Africa and Asia today, inhabiting a range of environments from tropical rain forest to savanna, scrubland, and mountainous terrain, and are also known from Europe in the fossil record.
This implies that monkeys no longer exist in Europe except in captivity. However, this is not true. (See: Gibraltar Barbary Macaques) Shouldn't this be mentioned as the only surviving group of monkeys in Europe? --Gibmetal 77talk 08:49, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't it yet still undertermined if the macaques there got there on their own? For if they were brought there by humans, the quote remains true. If they managed to get there on their own, then the quote is just narely not true. - UtherSRG (talk) 08:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I do see your point. However, the fact that they are the only wild monkeys in Europe should somehow be mentioned here. --Gibmetal 77talk 09:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I found this bit weird:
"Old World monkeys include many of the most familiar species of non-human primates such as baboons and macaques."
First of all, species within Catarrhini, outside of Cercopithecidae, include all of Hominoidea (i.e. gibbons and Great Apes, which includes humans), so "non-human monkeys" (let alone non-human primates, as is written) would be highly missleading.
"non-ape monkeys" would be somewhat understandable, though it ignores New World monkeys.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.225.29.142 (talk) 10:49, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

# "porn star" is the common name, which Wikipedia encourages, 
# "erotic actors" is a euphemism, which Wikipedia discourages, and
# it is POV to say that they are "actors".  Let's face it: "erotic actors" is a peacock term. 
They're not really actors, and it's not erotica we're talking about. The most commonly used 
term is "porn", so let's stick with that.
The question of many porn stars being "gay for pay" only is addressed in the first paragraph of the gay porn stars list which notes that this is a list of people who appear in "gay porn", not that they are gay stars.
