Krokodeilopolis

Given the etymology of crocodile, "pebble man/worm," I conjecture that the Greek city name sould be Krokodeilopolis, rather than Krokodopolis, because the man/worm morpheme of the latter seems overly syncopated.

That would be good to correct, but any references? 68.84.34.154 22:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article removed from Wikipedia:Good articles

This article was formerly listed as a good article, but was removed from the listing because there aren't any references. Otherwise it's great. Worldtraveller 23:22, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I used entirely on-line sources when I wrote the article. Since I have a bit of a bias against that, I labeled the section external links. But looking it over again, the sources aren't too bad -- while it could certainly use some print sources and footnoting (now that we have the new tags), and the mythological sources are at best weak, the technical information on the Nile crocodile is from reasonably strong secondary sources. 68.84.34.154 22:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures of crocodiles

Editing

Some slight clean-up and rephrasing of Introduction to remove redundancies. CFLeon 22:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"No animal is safe, even big cats

For some reason, someone continues to add this sentence when it makes no sense in the context of the article. The preceeding sentence states that elephants and adult hippos are "safe" from crocodiles so it is erroneous and contradictory. Furthermore, lions are listed among the animals in the next sentence so the big cat reference is not necessary. This sentence should remain deleted from the page as it is redundant, contradictory, and overall not useful. 71.248.25.226 00:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-==weight==
-the weight sounds like a boast: 1400 kg. Given the year of measurement, 1905, it's even much more likely to be one. I suspect that nile croc ever exceed 700 kg, if captured and measured correctly.
