change intermission to intromission in the Reproduction and Parenting section. 142.113.214.19 (talk) 00:44, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Subspecies
3 subspecies are listed, but I can find no reference anywhere to "a.m.hastorni".

Unless someone can point to a valid reference, it should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.30.52 (talk) 15:18, 22 July 2023 (UTC)


 * It looks like that was added by with this edit. It's been over five years, but perhaps they can recall where that information was from? &mdash;Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 15:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * No idea. I probably just copied it from Spanish Wikipedia. The subspecies is listed there too. I am not opposed to its removal. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 16:06, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Looking at es-wiki, added the subspecies to the infobox with this edit, but I don't see A.m. hastorni) in the text before or after that addition. &mdash;Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 16:31, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm going to remove it at this point. es-wiki had a page [for Ailuropoda melanoleuca hastorni that's been deleted three times as vandalism. On en-wiki, this 2017 edit to [[Ailuropoda]] removed the mention of A.m. hastorni due to a lack of any sources that didn't seem to trace back to Wikipedia. That same edit shows that the common name being given for that subspecies was "Eastern panda," which doesn't help. zh-wiki gives 云南大熊猫 as the common name, which was added with this edit. That translates to Yunnan giant panda, but the only mentions to a Yunnan panda are connected to a 2015 poaching instance. While that incident showed the pandas to be present in an area where they were previously thought to have been wiped out, there's no indication that they are or were a different subspecies. &mdash;Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 16:51, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Maybe they should be removed from the other Wikipedias as well. If it's a legit subspecies, someone should restore it eventually anyway. It's not like this kind of things are so obscure. It's likely a hoax. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 23:36, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ Well, I just ran through the full list of sister project articles from the sidebar. Most didn't list subspecies, a lot only had A. m. melanoleuca and A. m. qinlingensis. I removed A. m. hastorni from infoboxes in nine projects (I couldn't remove the tenth instance &mdash; zh-wiki, where the page is protected from me editing it). Hopefully the English-language edit comment (or a Google Translate version) will help avoid reverts... I could have missed one or two where the Latin name was rendered in local characters or where the subspeieces information was in a collapsed or otherwise inobvious place. &mdash;Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 18:53, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

The closest word for Panda is the Nepali word "Panja" and not "Ponya".
Hi, I have already tried editing the word "Ponya" to the correct term "Panja" multiple times, only to have it reverted by the editors. I am extremely sorry if I do not know how to properly cite the source. I want to do my best to get this information corrected as the word "ponya" does not exist in the Nepali language. The closest word is "Ponja", which is just an incorrect way of spelling "Panja".

Panja refers to claws, palm or fang. The word "panja" is also used in the Hindi language.

I do not know how to make the proper edit. If any editor is reading this, can you please edit the word "ponya" to "panja" and cite the source necessary?

The below is to make the wording a little better and reduce run on

Change

“The shoot is an important energy source, as it contains starch and is 32% protein, hence pandas evolved the ability to effectively digest starch.”

To

“Pandas evolved the ability to effectively digest starch, making the shoot an important energy source. Though mostly starch, bamboo shoots are 32% protein, and therefore a good substitute for a carnivorous diet.”

Or something like that. LPantalons (talk) 15:34, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ UtherSRG (talk) 20:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Is there a source for bamboo shoots being 32% protein? Seems more likely to be 3.2%. Derryp (talk) 22:43, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
