Talk:Leopard shark

Requested move
Triakis semifasciata → Leopard shark – Common english names are the standard for species. The current disambiguation page is not necessary - it can be dealt with by a distinguish tag at the top of each of the pages Yomangani talk 13:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose - like so many common names, "leopard shark" is ambiguous, being used in Australia and elsewhere  also for Stegostoma fasciatum. --Stemonitis 10:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - Only 2 sharks involved (are there more?), the other has its own common name (zebra) already. Let's not break the standard whereby common names used where they exist. I support Yomangani's distinguish tag suggestion. GrahamBould 14:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - Hard one, I call zebra shark, leopard shark, but I know that it is wrong, scientific name is not most common and fishbase calls them according to move proposal, I say we go with fishbase, put distinguish on the page, that would be the correct way of doing it.

Maximum size?
What's the maximum size? 7 ft (2.12 m) or 71 inch (1.80 m)? Currently the article does contradict itself. --KnightMove (talk) 14:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Requested move
Leopard shark (hound shark) → Leopard shark &mdash; The recent change of Leopard shark to a disambig page is unnecessary; the name "leopard shark" is really only used for two species, Triakis semifasciata and Stegostoma fasciatum, and the latter already has a perfectly good (and unique) name, zebra shark, whereas T. semifasciata is known as "leopard shark" worldwide. There's no ethnocentrism here, because everywhere that S. fasciatum is known as "leopard shark", "zebra shark" is also accepted as an alternate name. Yzx (talk) 10:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I have taken the liberty of requesting the deletion of the disambig. page and reversing this rather odd move . This is a speedier process than WP:RM. Rgrds. --Tombstone (talk) 16:52, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Maximum range
I think the 'maximum range' of the shark needs to be updated. We seem to have them on the east coast of the Australia now. . Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 05:13, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
