French Note

Why is there a note in French on the English portion of this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.43.35.194 (talk) 17:32, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because that's the original quotation of the English paraphrase that the note is linked from. Anaxial (talk) 17:37, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

I am wondering how much sulfur is in a skunk. A human has ~210 grams of sulfur in their body (0.3%). A skunk is bound to have much more in their scent glands, but I'm wondering if there's more sulfur present in their body percentage wise than a human. I'm also wondering if a diet low in sulfur would decrease the amount of spray produced in a skunk, or lower its potency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OneSmallStepForMan (talk • contribs) 11:57, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

CLOSED

No discussion on stale proposal regarding the merging of the article(s). Proposer, @Alexcs114: may want to consider a BOLD merge. Non-Administrative closure-- GenQuest ^"scribble" 20:32, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Formal request has been received to merge from Alexcs114 to merge Skunks as pets into Skunks. Please discuss the merge proposal below.

Rationale given by proposer: After removing the main portion that read as a guide it seems to me that there is (primarily) two relevant portions of this article that fall within Wikipedia's scope: History, Temperament, legality, and perhaps portions of the politics section. All of this should be merged into the "relations with humans" section on the Skunk article. Felix QW (talk) 08:33, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
