Talk:Jackalope

Source material
Found some stuff that might pass WP:RS for this article. Montanabw (talk) 04:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * http://www.wired.com/2014/05/fantastically-wrong-jackalope/ (good stuff on Shope papillomavirus)


 * de.wiki has refs for their wolpertinger
 * Good tip. This solves the problem of what to do with the unsourced list of critters. Not all are hares or rabbits. The Dildapp, for example, is a goofy person. I have deleted the list, which could be recreated one by one if supported by RSs. Finetooth (talk) 01:10, 4 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, this IS Humor (note article date): http://www.yellowstonegate.com/2012/04/jackalope-yellowstone-grand-teton/


 * Looks very useful at first glance. Muchas gracias. Finetooth (talk) 04:40, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * And totally unrelated: Rabbit show jumping.   Montanabw (talk)  22:22, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Oy. Finetooth (talk) 02:55, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

From the article:
 * "Natural history texts such as Historiae Naturalis de Quadrupetibus Libri (The History Book of Natural Quadrangles) by Joannes Jonstonus (John Jonston) in the 17th century[5]"
 * Dear Sirs, I am certain that while all jackalopes have quadrangles, all quadrangles are not jackalopes.... Arneeast (talk) 06:24, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Time for a run at GA?
What'cha all think? I've pretty much run out of ammo. Montanabw fixed that Huichol thing that's been bugging me since Day One and a bunch of other things too. I'll probably see more little glitches and baggy prose tomorrow, but I think I'm basically done. What's still missing, confused, wrongheaded, or messed up, or is everything approximately A-OK? Finetooth (talk) 05:21, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I think we are ready for the GAN. I'll help birddog it and if I see any wikignoming edits I can do along the way, I'll help there too. It has been hilarious and fun to have happen!  Montanabw (talk)  23:35, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Super! I hope to do this tomorrow, February 7. Finetooth (talk) 04:13, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

A Jackalope does NOT have antelope horns; it has Deer antlers, mostly whitetail type and only 2 points on each side! Please change the descripton.--Wyocop (talk) 19:23, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

 * I believe the existing article makes clear that although the imaginary creature is a combination of antelope and rabbit, the taxidermist jackalopes that you can buy in a store or by mail order are, as you say, made with deer horns. Could you point out where in the article you see a problem? Which section, which sentences? Finetooth (talk) 20:40, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

ru interwiki
This article's interwiki link for Russian incorrectly points to a template in ruwiki, while the related wikidata item (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q908923) has correct data for ru:Рогатый заяц. What is the reason? Fedor Babkin (talk) 06:00, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I thought I would reply so that you know someone is listening, but interwiki links are something I know nothing about. Where is the interwiki link you refer to? I followed your link to the wikidata page and looked at that setup. That doesn't help with the other one, though. Could you make the correction? If so, that would be fine with me. Finetooth (talk) 20:10, 3 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Possibly can help, he understands wikidata.   Montanabw (talk)  00:05, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I have some experience with wikidata, but this case is beyond my capacities. Let's wait for a wizard to come and make the correction. --Fedor Babkin (talk) 05:25, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * . The interwiki link was specified directly in the infobox template code. Therefore, this links was shown in all articles that use this template. --Michgrig (talk) 07:00, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks . Does that solve the problem, ? Finetooth (talk) 16:34, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes it does. --Fedor Babkin (talk) 17:31, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Pheasant parts
The article used to feature mentions of jackalopes portrayed with pheasant tails and hind legs. although no longer common, there was no reason for this information to be deleted as this is a still relevant piece of information. why was this deleted from the article? i feel it needs to be returned because it is a little known fact that this interpretation does exist, and is not just an incomplete wopertinger or antlered skvader. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.120.253.58 (talk) 16:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * We can certainly add that if you have a reliable source to support the claim. Are you sure you are not thinking of the Wolpertinger? Finetooth (talk) 20:55, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

yes i am certain, but i cant renember where i have seen this ingormation, but ive seen several depictions of jackalope with pheasant feet and tail (specifically pheasant). though this lore is likely influenced by the wolpertinger, there are many mythical animals with references to others. i just wish i could find a source, because its a thing ive heard and seen from many people (who knew both of jackalopes and wolpers and the distinctions between the two). :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.120.253.58 (talk) 04:49, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
