Lion and Marsupial lion

Hi there! Sorry that I keep removing your additions to lion, but I just think that the article should limit itself to discussing Panthera leo. One article simply can't do justice to lions, marsupial lions, and sea lions all at the same time. Readers can still find the article via Lion (disambiguation) linked to at the top of the page. — Laura Scudder ☎ 23:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repeatedly reinserting the section without discussion is not productive. I'd be happy to talk about why marsupial lions might or might not belong in the Lion article at Talk:Lion. — Laura Scudder ☎ 15:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You are right marsupials lions not the present lions (Panthera leo), but they are externally similar to them. For an example a marsupial the wolf too the artificial wolf, but it is similar externally to ordinary wolves and everywhere in clauses about wolves about them write. And one more example Thylacosmilus - marsupial a saber-toothed cat also an artificial saber-toothed cat, but in all clauses about saber-toothed cats write also them. Therefore I think for the general knowledge they this should be in an article on p. leo. Thanks for your attention!--N.i 19:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your reasoning for including marsupial lions on the page is not scientific. 'They are externally similar to them' isn't even that true. Here's a couple of images.

They are no more similar than any other big cat. If you think it is so essential that people visiting the page need to know completely different animals share a word in their name, then at most link the already existing article in the 'see also' section. The fact it's in the taxonomy section alone is a joke. I'm going to remove it. --Tommyknocker 13:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to remove it, if you undo the changes again then we shall have to call on  a moderator as I'm obviously not alone in my thinking. --[[User:Tommyknocker|Tommyknocker]] 13:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
