Giant Panda edit[edit]

Hi Number17,

Thanks for working on the Giant Panda article. I was wondering whether you had sources for the claim that numbers in the wild were rising? The references we have in the article at the moment (unless I missed something - which is entirely possible) seem to say that numbers may have been undercounted in the past, but actual trends were still too difficult to know. Do you have access to something else? If so it would be great to get it in the article. --Siobhan Hansa 23:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. That info is in some of the other sources as well, the only thing that seems truely is clear is that they aren't really sure how many pandas there are! We should probably reword the summary a little to ensure it's not misleading, and make sure the details are covered in the rest of the article. If you want a go feel free. otherwise I'll probably have a try in a day or two. --Siobhan Hansa 20:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to Fred Durst. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Greatal386 04:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
