Talk:Crocodilia

message: The article refers in a couple of places to "eight species" of crocodilians that are known to have attacked humans, but then goes on to list nine: saltwater crocodiles, Nile crocodiles, American alligators, black caimans, Morelet's crocodiles, mugger crocodiles, American crocodiles, gharials, and freshwater crocodiles. 184.36.83.153 (talk) 04:54, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Are there any good references of gharials actually attacking people?  I know they scavenge human corpses frequently, but I'm having a hard time envisioning them predating humans. HCA (talk) 20:50, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  There are rare cases of (rare) false gharials attacking, such as when a man was killed by a nearly 5m false gharial in Borneo in 2009 near the orangutan research station. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:59, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

text:  The note is cited and gives Kelly's view of the reason; your interpretation is plausible, but do you have a citation that says that? We aren't allowed to state our own view in an article, that would be WP:OR. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:18, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Now the same section is present on two pages - Crocodile and Alligatoridae.  Currently they are identical except for the tag I've just added; they are liable to be edited divergently.  As such, we need to resolve this duplication somehow.  Options I can see:
* Have the section once, be it here, on Crocodile, on Alligatoridae or some other page, and link to it from the others.
* Expand the content into a new article, and link to it.
* Create a template for this content and transclude it on the relevant pages (not sure what the rules are about doing this).
What do people think we should do? — Smjg (talk) 19:18, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: This article has that information spread throughout and we are under no obligation to ruin a featured article to create a neon-sign of information just to help people find an answer to a colloquial question. BTW this article is not just about crocs and gators but gharials as well. So putting it here is out of the question for me. I don't care about the other choices.

replies: text: Well, the green represents the terrestrial range of crocodilians and the blue is the adjoining areas of sea in which certain maritime species might be found I suppose. It is not a very helpful map. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:32, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date discrepancy? 

message: I think some very short information on this study should probably be added to the article (and/or possibly another, related one). It's currently featured in 2021 in science like so:
*Scientists conclude that environmental factors played a major role in the evolution of the slowly-evolving, currently low-diverse Crocodilia (and their ancestor-relatives), with warmer climate being associated with high evolutionary rates and large body sizes.  Available under CC BY 4.0.
I uploaded some of the images of this study to WMCommons.

message: " The crocodilian penis is permanently erect and relies on cloacal muscles for eversion and elastic ligaments and a tendon for recoil.[17]"
I don't think that this is correct. It's non-erectile rather than being erectile and in the permanently erect state.
