Hmm, the Pacific Yew Structure image has a squirrel looking into the camera in the picture. Looks real, can anyone else see it? Chaosdna (talk) 19:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks real. He was probably wondering who was interrupting his feeding. Hope he wasn’t eating yew berries. — 72.253.225.171 (talk) 00:33, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Anthropomorphism
"has a habit of rotting from the inside", so the tree decides to rot from the inside? --98.70.58.197 (talk) 00:42, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the anthropomorphism was unintentional, it's a fairly common usage likely stemming (pun unintended) from the usage regarding the general appearance of a plant (e.g. An upright habit). Feel free to substitute "has a tendency to rot from the inside" per sofixit. Valfontis (talk) 03:20, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Native American sources
 * List of documented uses for the tree by Native Americans. This could be translated into an attractive table or some other feature of the article with 127 entries to the list.

 * Located these documents while repairing a {dead-link} of this article. They are not referenced in any way and I thought a future editor may find it useful. I updated this section to improve the intent of it. --->  Darryl.P.Pike (talk) 16:04, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Impact of Paclitaxel Ref
Reference 28 has species misspelled (Should be Taxus not Tacus). But more importantly, I can't find the reference using Google or in the Journal of Applied Ecology website.
