Hello. I am user of the German WP and we had a discussion about the name "pademelons". Is it true that the word "pademelon" is only used in scientific context and that people simply call them "wallabies"? Thanks --80.108.59.151 20:11, 6 August 2005 (UTC) (de:Benutzer:Bradypus)

No, when we visited Australia in Decemeber 2005, the word "pademelon" was quite commonly used by our guides. Although, indeed, when people say "wallabies", they usually include "pademelons". Which is correct, as the distinction between kangaroos, wallabies, and pademelons is largely superficial. (Similarly, lions, cheetahs, cats, and leopards can all be referred to as "cats".)

Meanwhile, an off-topic question. If you edit a page in German, but would like to link to an image (or other media) already available on the English Wikipedia -- how would you do that (without uploading a copy)? пан Бостон-Київський 01:36, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

If the image is only on the en: 'pedia, you'll have to upload the image to Commons, then it will be available to all of the 'pedias. If the image is actually on Commons already, then you can simply use it as if it were on whichever 'pedia you are editting. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] eh?

Am I right in saying, that this: "Although their meat is very low in fat and cholesterol (like that of all kangaroos), Australians today would consider it no more than "second grade" and strongly prefer lamb and beef instead." is strange, an assumption and should not be in the article?
