Wikijunior talk:Big Cats/Meet The Cats

If this text is for school age children, it is important to maintain simple sentence and paragraph structure. It is also more important to use accurate language than flamboyant language. It troubles me that I had to struggle with a few of the sentences here. I've got a heck of a lot of education and if I can't determine the meaning of a sentence, I doubt that a school kid could. For instance, what is the following non-sentence really trying to say:
 * Specialist cats like African servals that catch birds and rodents using their unique talents, aerial acrobats like the South American margay and rugged adventurers like the sand cat that eke out a living under difficult conditions.

I can't tell which activity or quality refers to which creature. The details are open ended. Off the top of my head, I can't recall the hunting styles of these small wild cats. This "description" doesn't help me.

I'm not saying that the writing in this article is incoherent or unintelligible. Just that we all need to keep working to make this very worth-while project succeed.Ande 09:42, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

What cat rules the European continent? About three times on the 'Meet the Cats' page, it is mentioned that they are found in all continents except Australia (and sometimes Antarctica). Perhaps the English lion is included.

Also, didn't Australia have a Tasmanian Tiger or some such? ~ Apostrophyx

I definitely see a need for a revision and the elimination of some of the unneccesary parts of this introduction. For one thing I found the first paragraph a little confusing. (Maybe it's me?) Also the first few sentances of the paragraphs should be an introduction to the main point of the paragraph. Nice work though! Khsater 03:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Hii inchi na ya nani?
Any idea what language this is or what part of Africa it's from? It seems pretty vague to just say "In Africa...." Wasabe3543 14:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
