Ursine

Does "ursine" refer to Ursinae or Ursidae? If the former, Ursine should redirect to Ursinae, not here. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 20:18, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on the context: in technical usage, it refers to Ursinae, but in everyday English, it refers to Ursidae. Anaxial (talk) 21:21, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Ursine" is used in everyday speech? Oh, are you referring to the adjective? That's still rather formal speech, isn't it? Anyway, the technical term is the noun. Hmm, but considering that we cannot disambiguate that, it's probably better to leave the redirect this way. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 23:52, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
