Revert vandalism in first line. Stelith (talk) 12:47, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out, I've fixed it. However, this article is not protected - please feel free to fix such things yourself next time. - MrOllie (talk) 12:58, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weird, it shows it as semi-protected for me and won't let me at it. Odd. Stelith (talk) 11:52, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The final paragraph of "Diet and foraging" which states that "Although pigs are not true carnivores, they are deadly and efficient predators. They are documented man-eaters" should be sourced or removed. Delekof (talk) 22:27, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removed - if someone want to re-word the bit with a ref that would be fine. If such is documented, lets have a reference. From my experience with swine on the farm way back when - I don't doubt that it is true. Vsmith (talk) 23:40, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get this ?

<<The genus Sus is currently thought to contain eight living species>>

But there is 9 species in the list given in the article, which is ok. Is that intended ? Gimly24 (talk) 11:54, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! There had been a list of 8, with a 9th as a subentry of one of them, until this edit made the 9th part of the main list in its own right but did not adjust the intro sentence. Pinging User:Geekgecko, but in the mean time I'll change it. DMacks (talk) 12:21, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change sus amongus to sus as this is incorrect and and obvious joke it is located at the top of the page in the first mention of the genus that isn't the title 2A00:23C7:848E:6E01:B8B6:224F:16B8:DE2E (talk) 18:39, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
