text: It's nice if we can know the names by which meerkats are known by various projects.  I still get a distinct impression, however, that there are some people editing this article who want to turn it into some kind of soap opera.  The important thing about this article isn't the meerkats themselves but the production of a television program about them.  That's what this particular article is about. --Tony Sidaway 02:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Youssarian is either dead or roved off KRR. Cazanna died of TB. New dominants for the Lazuli are Aretha and her brother Padloper. Dominants for the Whiskers are Rocket Dog and Zarathustra, who will pribably be renamed because he has a long and confusing name.

replies: text: Can you produce a reliable source for this? --Tony Sidaway 02:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The only reason I ask the question is because this page is intended for discussing how we are to write the article.  If we have verifiable information about some of the meerkats featured we should put it into the article. If it's of the kind that you are "not at liberty to say it in public" then it obviously isn't verifiable. So it's not a good idea to disclose this information here, firstly because we cannot use it to write the article and secondly (but not least of all) because the people who give access to this secret source probably won't be too pleased if it's leaded here. --Tony Sidaway 02:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is poorly tailored.  Discussions of events that have not yet aired or may never air are beyond the scope of this article.  The information presented here should focus on the series.  Events beyond the body of work (i.e. the series, "Meerkat Manor") are irrelevant here.  True or not, Flower's death should not be presented here, as the episodes aired thus far have not addressed it.  Nor should information about unfeatured meerkats or meerkat families make it into this article.
Though the Kalahari Meerkat Project has a web page that offers more and newer information than does the series, the project exists seperate from the show.  Those adding or editing this article must be careful to make the disctinction between the two.

message: How do I know? On the list of meerkats alive as pof January 1st 2007, there are 4 meerkats born on the same day. Names?:
Mitch(male)
Cruise(female)
Logan(male)
Hawkeye(female)
Meerkat pups don't have fully developed "male and female parts" so we know Mitch is male, as we've seen him as adult/teenager. We've seen Einstein, too, and I'm sure if you look closely when he was plotting to steal the eggs, you can see his "male parts". We know Cruise is female, we've seen her as a teenager/juvenile, but we never saw Rocky other than when she was a pup. So that means she is Hawkeye. And Mitch is Mitch, Cruise is Cruise, and Logan is Einstein, who is alive. Someone keeps adding that Einstein has died of starvation, but this fact proves he is still alive.

message: I have rated this article as start class because the relatively short length and lack of important sections like critical response, production etc. and as low importance because there is little to distinguish it from other articles about television series. There is only one reference in the whole article and that is in relation to the proposed film rather than the series. This desperately needs some references. Remember you can the cite the episodes as a primary source for plot summary and start looking for reviews of the show as they contain a wealth of other useable information.
These categories are arbritrary and are subject to review by any editor who feels confident to do so.

message: I'm not sure they were calling them the Splinters as a gang name. A 'splinter' group means a smaller group that broke off from the whole group, not reffering to the meerkats.
The definition of a splinter is 'to split or break a larger group into seperate fractions or independent groups'. It seems that's more likely what they meant.

message: I created an article called Flower Whiskers, but almost right away, someone else redirtected it to Meerkat Manor. Grundle2600 00:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, she should not, nor should any of the other meerkats.  She was the "star" for two seasons, but she still isn't that notable enough for her own page.  There isn't much else to say about her other than what is already in this article and she isn't going to be showing up in any other series.  She is neither an actress nor a character, she was a meerkat that has since died. AnmaFinotera 00:11, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't see how it is helpful at all, and it doesn't seem like you can come up with a good reason for how it actually contributes to the discussion of the article either.  So it has no place here. AnmaFinotera 08:04, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

text: What is the source for this list?  Are Axel's and Yossarian's names really misspelt in the program credits?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony Sidaway (talk • contribs) 18:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm still trying to figure out the point of this list being here? The show uses one set of names and KMP another, but this is about the show not the KMP.  Maybe you are thinking that it would help people (particularly editors) find info about the meerkats on the KMP site?  If that is the case, perhaps it should be incorporated into the article in some way (in the meerkat section, where the names differ maybe put their real names in parenthesis).  If that is done, though, verifiable sources for the differences in name are needed BEFORE the change is done, and we'd also need to have a note/paragraph about AP renaming some meerkats (and maybe why if they have published a reason for doing so).

text: How do you know it is in the book about Flower if you don't have it yet?  If Sparky-Nita and Tosca-Badiel are "educated guesses" that would seem to against the Wikipedia:NOR policy, which would make them unusable for the article. AnmaFinotera 23:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

text: If it is printed in the book that meerkat X is called Y on the show, then it is verifiable and can be included (with a proper citation providing the book info and page number).  If there is something on the AP site, Kalahari site, or contained in some other verifiable, reliable source, then it can be included.  The research, guesses, etc of fans is not verifiable and can not be included in a Wikipedia article.  AnmaFinotera 00:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

message: With Sophie and Maybelline seemingly becoming more important and more featured in Meerkat Manor, shouldn't we promote them to the "Main Family Members" section?  TheUnknown285 16:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How is Sophie becoming more important (I don't watch the show that much myself)?  With Maybelline, I'm inclined to hold off since the teasers for the rest of the season seem to indicate she's gonna end up as head of a new group that will split off from the Whiskers. AnmaFinotera 17:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Hmmm...I think it might be good to see where the season plays out first.  I think that whole section really needs reformatting though, as it is getting very unwieldy and will only keep growing.  I'm not sure listing all 50+ Whiskers (and all future generations) is conducive to the article, but I'm still trying to figure out what a better format will be. For now, let's leave them both where they are to see where they end up at the end of this season. AnmaFinotera 18:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Mostly agreed. That whole section just needs doing. It is too long and bulky and it includes way too many minor meerkats.  Now that I've studied up some more on the TV style guides to figure out how it applies to a show of this more unique show format, I'm working on completely redoing the entire "Featured" section.  I hope to get the redo done by this weekend once I get a final paper for one of my classes done. AnmaFinotera 02:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
