Talk:American mink

message: Suggestion: Could someone write about the difference between Neovison and Mustela because those seems to create a lot of confusion out there.
Also a picture of actual animal, not a stuffed one, would be appreciated.

message: Yesterday I inserted several  fact tags in this article since statements were made without any references. These fact tags are to stay in place until they are either replaced with an appropriate reference or the statements are removed; or if there is a consensus among editors that the material is so obvious and well-known that a reference is not required. Please DO NOT arbitrarily remove fact tags or the unreferenced material will simply be removed or changed to other unreferenced material. I have reverted the fact tags and will revert similar changes as vandalism. Thanks Bob98133 (talk) 12:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fact tags 

message: Several places you wrote (citation needed) were all ready cited.  The citations I wrote included more than one sentence, so rather than repeating the same citation over and over after every thought supported by that citation, I only wrote it once.  If you read a little more carefully, and look at the names of the works cited, you will see that most of what you wrote (citation needed) next to, had a citation already.  The statements that weren't cited I left alone, but the places that are already cited I erased the (citation needed) next to them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph David Carter (talk • contribs) 14:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: some citation needed unnecessary

message: Are you saying that your reference [^ Bowman, J., Kidd, A., Gorman, R., Schulte-Hostedde, A. 2007. "Assessing the potential for impacts by feral mink on wild mink in Canada," Biological Conservation 139: 12-18. ] is the source for all four Fact tags that I added? Each of those statements is highly charged and needs its own reference or it has to be more clear that a statement in the previous ph is referenced in the next ph. The same source can be referenced more than once in an article, and maybe should be in a case like this. Is this source available online? If this information is correct, there should be some sources readily available to all editors. Joseph - when you leave a note on my talk page, please add 4 ~ so that your signature will be automatically added. Also, since we're discussing the article, if the discussion is on this page all editors get to see it and comment if they wish. Thanks.  Bob98133 (talk) 14:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I just saw your note on this page. If you've gone through this as you say, then no problem. The four tildes for your signature are still a good idea though! Bob98133 (talk) 14:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  fact tags 

message: This needs a reference. The existing one compares "the learning ability of mink to ferrets, skunks, and house cats." The article then states that mink learn as well as great apes and primates. I think this is nonsense and appears to be totally unreferenced. Please correct me if I'm reading something wrong here. thanks Bob98133 (talk) 20:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mink intelligence section 

message: I think your right the statement made by the author of "Learning-Set Formation by Mink, Ferrets, Skunks,and Cats" about the learning curve of mink, chimps, and rhesus macaques is confusing to the average reader.  I'm going to erase it so some one isn't accidentally mislead to believe mink are as smart as chimps.

thread_title: I'm editing a statement in Mink intelligence

message: From The Propagation of Mink and Marten by William Gates;
A mink is a water animal and for his happiness and contentment and, consequently, his well being and the profit he is supposed to produce. Water to swim in his necessary.- 48
Pages 84-85 include technical drawing and text on how to build a mink swimming pool. The burden of proof is on you. Simply removing text because it doesn't comply with your views (for which you have so far produced no evidence) is vandalism, not contribution. Provide a reference for your claim, and perhaps this can be resolved.Mariomassone (talk) 20:10, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Water in Mink Farms 

message: In the "diet" section, it states that minks do not engage in surplus killing. However, I have caught a mink in the act of killing 14 ducklings, and other local farmers have had problems with minks killing large numbers of poultry in one incident. But I don't have any citation for this other than my own personal experience.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.54.33.241 (talk) 01:59, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
