Anaconda received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article. |
Thanks, Tim. I was going to wait a few more days before requesting this myself, but you beat me to it. Cheers, -- Jwinius ( talk) 23:17, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
This article should be given permanent protection. As a disambiguation page (an SIA) there may not be much more than can be added to it in the way of content, but its title will forever make it a prime target for vandals. This is yet another reason in favor of using scientific names for article titles, as these seem to have an innate ability to quell the enthusiasm of many would-be vandals. In contrast, those who are serious about what they are looking for (or wish to edit) will follow the links. -- Jwinius ( talk) 16:47, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

"this account of an incident on the outskirts of Colombo is a figment of the imagination" The account? Or the incident? TREKphiler hit me ♠ 22:00, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Should there be a classification box with kingdom, order, phylum and so on? Not a biologist, but came looking for that information, and I've seen it in entries for other species. Otterswimshome ( talk) 17:36, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
At least two of the comments above seem to stem from confusion over the difference between anacondas as a group and the species green anaconda. Could the article be given another header, kind of like the existing disambiguation header, that explains this from the outset? I know that it's in the first paragraph of the article itself, but that may not be clear enough. Alternately, should this simply be merged with the green anaconda article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.130.89.67 ( talk) 12:50, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
~ I have looked on a few sites and noticed that most of the prehistoric snakes that lived in the Eocene or Paleocene measured about 18-26 feet the only exceptions being Gigantophis, Madostia,and Titanoboa with lengths ranging from 35-43 feet so technically an anaconda 30 feet is really prehistoric sized and the fact that no anacondas have been caught yet the fact is any claim of an anaconda 40+feet really needs too be looked at with "extreme" caution.
The article states that anacondas are found in Sri Lanka, but I thought they were only found in S.America. Maybe there should be a map of it's range, as is found on other animal's pages? VenomousConcept ( talk) 09:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
There are two pages on anacondas, this one, and one for the genus Eunectes. Maybe these two should be merged? There should probably also be a specific page for the Bolivian anaconda. VenomousConcept ( talk) 11:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
I have tried improving the referencing of the etymology section which seemed to singularly point to a Tamil origin. There are other notes and I believe I have provided the best references available. I have reverted a recent edit that puts this back and I would like to point out that citations have also been removed. Shyamal ( talk) 03:53, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
I'd like to reword this-- can I just check that it's the term that's applied loosely, not the constriction? The Wednesday Island ( talk) 11:16, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Underneath the photo of the man with a snake it says "Columbia". I suppose that the country Colombia is meant? This spelling is wrong and not well-received by Colombians. KHeinz ( talk) 02:30, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

In Greek mythology, The Anaconda was a snake/
python so huge that it encircled the world at the
Equator ! Call it what you may, but the points to the tale are as follows:
A. It was a completely mythological creature, and it was like a python, which the Ancient Greeks knew of.
B. The Ancient Greeks had contacts, via travelers, in India, Burma, Ceylon, etc. Later on, the Romans even exchanged ambassadors with China. See the map of the world that was drawn by
Ptolemy, a Greek in Egypt.
