thread_title: Rinkhals (Hemachatus haemachatus)

message: This is a very poor article (no taxobox, bold claims with no references to speak of) and the subject is too vague to describe anything more than a subset of elapid genera that all have a similar threat display, but are otherwise quite different. Therefore, I propose that Cobra (disambiguation) be moved here and that this article be deleted. --Jwinius (talk) 12:44, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Why do we use a Brazilian name for a primarily Indian snake?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.208.21 (talk) 21:23, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Portuguese actually has two words for "snake": serpente and cobra, which correspond, more or less reciprocally, to Spanish serpiente/sierpe and culebra. In Portuguese, however, especially in Brazil, serpente has come to be used popularly for large snakes (python, boa and the like) and cobra for smaller ones, but this is not necessarily so. I am adding this to question the information that the English word cobra comes from an abbreviation of cobra de capelo and not from cobra itself. jggouvea (talk) 00:51, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brazilian? 

message: "de capello" is not Portuguese. It's "de capelo" with a single l  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.58.124.34 (talk) 01:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm correcting this now, because that part contains a lot of mistakes:
*"cobra de capelo" is not Italian at all
*"cobra di capello" literally means "cobra of a hair" in Italian, but that's absolutely NOT an expression used in Italy
*the literal Italian translation of "snake with hood" is "serpente col mantello".Devil Master (talk) 18:43, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Naive 

message: The various WP articles dealing with cobras not only vary greatly in quality, but in construction and in their interrelationships. As a group they need drastic revision. This article might be a good place to start; it violates several principles and does not adhere to the functional nature appropriate to list-class articles. Among other articles for example, the one for Cape cobra, though in other ways superior, contains too much information that belongs in the article Naja, not specifically N. nivea. As I am NOT a herpetologist, I prefer not to undertake a project to correct the situation, so before I do commit myself, is anyone better qualified interested?

replies: text: this sounds fantastic!  Let's move the conversation to a user talk page and take it from there, yes?  I nominate mine!  Will ping you at that location as well.  KDS4444 (talk) 23:12, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cobras and lists. Is there a herpetologist in the house? 

message: This article really shouldn't exist, we should move the relevant list under a new subsection called "snakes" under Science and Technology in the Cobra (disambiguation) page, and forward "Cobra" to Naja. Mstearnsa (talk) 20:23, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose. We need to put in the time and effort to develop this article into a proper WP:BROADCONCEPT article. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:31, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  I want to move this to [[Cobra (disambiguation)]] 

message: WikiNav for Cobra indicates that in October '23, there were 1.31k identified clickstreams towards the disambiguation hatnote. WikiNav for Cobra (disambiguation) in turn shows that most of this could be about the lookups of the COBRA acronym but lowercase, and in turn two topics about recent British politics. The uppercase redirect already goes there, so there's not much to do, but should we add some of these topics to the hatnote to short-circuit them, at least for a while? The page views for these big topics indicate these spikes to be transient, but they are pretty noticable still. --Joy (talk) 14:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
