message: Hi,
the article is interesting and good but the picture is wrong !!! This is not a Fallow Deer ( Dama Dama).
Thanks,
Juan
:Do you mean the picture on the right ? Is it about the antlers' shape ? What is on the picture then ? Arsine 11:44, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: There is also a herd that frequents my property in Upper Marlboro, MD (20772).  I've uploaded a couple older images that show the variety in their coloring.  Note that they are aware of my presence when I snapped the picture.  They particularly enjoy the high-bush blueberries outside my garden!  I apologize for the poor quality images (old camera, now replaced).

message: I noticed that  (i.e.:File:Dama dama map.png) displays a number of areas as having "Modern human introductions" which are not mentioned in the text of the article. 'Room to grow', so to speak.
Following are a few links to sites I came across that may possibly be of interest. Mostly they're from googling "fallow deer canada".

message: Hello, I will be adding a new section called "Mating System" to this page (Dama dama). It is for an assignment. I will be adding new information within the next week or so. Ewm822 (talk) 01:55, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Significant Changes 

message: Hello, I am now posting the finished section called "Mating System" for Dama dama, there are also some subsections within mating systems that include some of the topics throughout the course that we learned, which is also applicable to the mating system and behaviour of fallow deer (Dama dama), thanks.

thread_title:  Update 

message: In the Contests and Weaponry section, I can't tell what this sentence is supposed to mean:
Dominance ranks exist within fallow deer populations which can be linked to aggression level and body size, when competing for a male, however, how ranks are obtained is not studied extensively.
I assume it means "when competing for a mate" rather than male, since the outline at the referenced link only references males competing with each other. I did not change it because it might mean "which can be linked to aggression level and body size when competing, for a male", meaning to emphasize that the paragraph referred to dominance ranks in males rather than females.
Either way I think there should be a change but since I'm not sure of the original intent I'm going to leave it for now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.75.204 (talk) 00:32, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

message: Since the genus Dama refers to two different species (Dama dama and Dama mesopotamica), and Dama redirects to this article, I suggest creating a new article just for this genus, then altering the taxonomy links on the side of each species' pages. Ddum5347 (talk) 01:09, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

message: The article has fallow deer being introduced by humans to Europe, but two skeletons in Germany date back some 120,000 years.  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-018-0596-1 81.32.18.19 (talk) 12:24, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says "The fallow deer was native to most of Europe during the last interglacial". 120,000 years ago is the last interglacial, so I don't see a contradiction. Anaxial (talk) 13:35, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

text: I have rephrased the caption to "post-glacial" range, which should cover that. Anaxial (talk) 18:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
