[edit] Picture

(Yes, this is a placeholder. I need to go write lots of primate articles, looks like)Vicki Rosenzweig

When you do, above is a picture of a Grey Loris, scanned from an 1882 encyclopedia for you to use - User:Malcolm Farmer

Moved the above from the article, incorporated the image into the taxobox. - UtherSRG 02:55, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Grey Loris

Hrm.... I can't find mention of a Grey Loris in any of the taxonomic files and web pages. Does anyone know what name this critter goes by these days? - UtherSRG 15:24, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

He's a bit embarassed by his graying hair betraying his age. He prefers "Distinguished Loris" now. ;)
LOL. Ok. I've removed him from the page to save the embarassment. *grins* - UtherSRG 21:28, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

Does Loris and Lorisidae regard the same subject? --Rebel2 05:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

If you even looked, you'd see that Loris = Lorisinae, while Lorisidae = Lorisinae + Perodicticinae. In other words, one artcle is about a biological family, whily the other is about one side of that family. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] revert

I take it by reverting me you want some of these links red when articles actually exist? --kingboyk 20:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes; slender loris is not the same as Slender Loris on purpose. Same with slow loris and Slow Loris. Genus Loris is slender loris. Genus Nycticebus is slow loris. Individual species are capitalized. And if you notice, Slender Loris is not a species article, but a redirect to Red Slender Loris, etc. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
