Talk:Southern pig-tailed macaque

Misplaced and dubious section
Following the references section of the article, an editor appended the following:


 * Alfred et al. (2002) report that India was not included within the distributional range of M. nemestrina by earlier workers. However, Agrawal and Alfred (1994) and Das et al. (1995) have reported this species from northeast India. So the range of distribution should be extended in north to northeast India.


 * Detailed References:

MSW3 and IUCN Red List do not acknowledge M.nemestrina in north-east Inda, and I suppose that the references above must refer the northern pig-tailed macaque, which is now M.leonina but apparently used to be considered a subspecies of M.nemestrina. --Stfg (talk) 19:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Killer Dolphins
I have posted a long comment in the Talk section of the main Macaque genus article, about the renaming of all the macaque species articles to "[Name] Macaque" (e.g. "Barbary Macaque") from their traditionally names (e.g. Barbary Ape).

Would you please take a look at that here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macaque#Killer_Dolphins

And then correct this individual species article as necessary — I'm not sure which macaque species may have actually been called "[Name] Macaque" traditionally.

(And I hope you can see that the fact that I don't know that, after reading a Wikipedia article about the species, is why rewriting reality in Wikipedia is a problem.)

Bruh
I recognize that 99% of the editors that are trying to change the Malay name of this taxon to "bruh" are probably doing it as a joke, but there a few legitimate sources that do indeed refer to it as the bruh, e.g. Fooden 1975, p. 93. Taking this into account, would it be worth including that information on the page? Shuvuuia (talk) 00:03, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Wow, so it is, I honestly did try searching just in case but I never came up with anything. Beruk still seems to be more common (in fact the Malaysian wiki page on the pig-tailed is called Beruk), I think if it is worth mentioning it should be in addition to beruk or not at all (see example). I also think there is an argument to be made for removing the sentence about its local name altogether as most Wikipedia pages on species do not have them.

 * I noticed bruh is also on the page for northern pig tailed macaques, and wiktionary had a source of it referring to rhesus macaques: google books Based on the multiple species associated I suspect "bruh" might just be one transliteration of the Malaysian word for "monkey" or something general like that. If that's the case, then it wouldn't bear mentioning. --71.89.24.41 (talk) 05:32, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
