Cheetah speed

Hey there, just responding to your message to me. I agree with you that perhaps my change was not quite as indepth as it shouldhave been. However what I said was based on fact. I posted the following on your discussion page on the matter, but I thought I should address you personally so that you can change the opening paragraph of the article 'cheetah' with the correct information.

I posted as follows: The cheetah's speed is not the fastest of all terrestrial animals. A wildebeest stampede can reach speeds equal to that of a cheetah. The reason that cheetahs are so well known for how fast they are is because of their spectacular acceleration. The short bursts do reach the speeds that are mentioned above, but it is not true that they are the "fastest". It is more correct to say they have the fastest acceleration of all terrestrial animals. Having said that their top speed is nothing to scoff at as the cheetah is one of the fastest land animals, but I'm only saying that is is not correct to say they are the outright fastest terrestrial animal. My sources are the World Book Encyclopedia 2006, article: 'cheetah'(hard copy), and MSN Encarta(http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761557976/Cheetah.html).

Thanks a lot buddy, sorry for the misunderstanding. User:24.83.201.192

Hi, sorry I have a lot of pages to watch. In the future using an explanatory edit summary like remove paragraph per talk would help. Regards Arniep 20:52, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, no problem - I know what you mean, after someone else edits the article, it's not always obvious that something funny is going on. Cheers! --P e ruvianLlama^(spit) 06:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tiger and lion

I answered your question regarding why it is the common misunderstanding and restore my paragraph, the 2n one. If you have any objection, let's discuss it, I'm willing to. I agree with you about removing the pit fight rubbish stuff, that's no scientific. Please note that I never mention anything like lions win tigers or vice versa. there's no such thing happening in the wild, so all we can do is make some indirect comparison. If you like zoology, hope you'll see my point.Thanks. - User:203.15.122.35

Tiger and lion (cont)

Heelo! I just revisit the page and read your discussion. I did not mean to defend tiger or traduce the lion, the reason is just that so many people believe that: 1) Tigers do not fight, and even when they fight, they are wary: This is not true, tigers fight and kill, willing to risk injury. Tigers have been known to be heavily injured by : Wild boar, buffaloes, and procupine, group of dholes. 2) Lions born for fighting specifically: Sorry, I cannot agree on this. Lions are born to live in group, they hate hyenas as do they hate leopards and cheetah, like the tiger resents the leopard and dhole. They don't learn anything except the skill to hunt, when the male grows up, it leaves the pride voluntarily or forcably. They fight like other big cats, they don't train to do this, the winner comes in and the loser out, few years after, the winner will become a loser to a new, healthier one. For hunting in group, and resting too long(16-20h/day), lions do not possess good skills to hunt. The hunting skill reflect the capability of a predator above all. Now, the most important point: How can a predator be good fighter if they are not good hunters at first, since they are all unarmed hunter like us? Please understand that I am giving neutralized information based on observation, not opinion. That's why it's a misunderstanding? Tiger or lions, they are no king of anything, they are big carnivores living on meat, that's it, king is just a convention. So, perhaps you are right, there is no need for such thing in an article about tiger, and it may give people the iea that the writer is a tiger zealot. Hah hah, just kidding, any way, thank you for taking time discussing with me about an interesting point.

All the best!

Jimbo deletion

My sincere apologies if I deleted anything of yours (I can't get the compare versions to work right, or I could go back and check). I was attempting to re-add something which somebody else had removed of MINE. I thought I had left everybody else's stuff (which would include yours) intact. Again, sorry, if I didn't. I had absolutely no intention to do anything but re-add MY stuff.Sbharris 00:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Panther=

Sorry about that, I (wrongly) thought that all panthers that were black were black panthers. Thanks for correcting me and I won't make that mistake again. :-) Amelia Pound 08:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Live

Hi, sorry you thought the sentence needed unmangling! Probably just a difference between UK and American English! Are u a Live fan and if so are u looking forward to seeing what the band can do with Chris on vocals? Regards from the UK, Ian. Thegraciousfew (talk) 17:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Haha...it wasn't bad, it just got swapped around from how I said it as well as reading "new song song." I am looking forward (somewhat nervously) to Live coming back! I have a feeling it will be good, if The Gracious Few was anything to go by. I listened to Unified Theory a little to see what Chris was like - what do you think? Slow Graffiti (talk) 04:47, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I had a few listens to Unified Theory on YouTube, more impressed with the singer than the songs, so I guess that bodes well for Live mk II. Ed sang some great songs with Live, but I saw The Gracious Few in a tiny venue in London last year and Chad, Chad and Pat just looked so happy and enthusiastic to be "starting again" - I think and hope that Live II could be something special.
