Should I add "Extinct camelids" to the navigation template, or just create a new, separate template for them? -- Jpbrenna 03:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
I removed the following text from the article:
I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to mean, but my guess is it starts out referring to old world camelids, not simply "old camelids"... I have no idea what a plastic body temperature is, nor ergthrocites, elliptical or otherwise. What exactly is "seductive protection of plasma volume"? Argh. I could go on...and on... "old wold"? "rec cels"? "anatomics" ... there's punctuation missing, and the whole thing appears to end in mid-sentence. If I knew more about camelids, I could probably fix the text into something worth having in the article...but, alas, I don't... Tom e r talk 22:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I'll attach a CLEAN template here to attract some talent. And an Expert Template as well.

The text says camelid originated in the Eocene, but the pictures says Pleistocene, which is obviously wrong. The Pleistocene is even too late for when the text says camels started migrating out of NA.
What they really is, that camelids migrate, not origin. From User:4444hhhh
The Phylogenetic tree confused me and I couldn't find a source for it.
It seems to imply that alpaca existed before vicuñas when the article on alpacas says that "The closest living species are the wild vicuña, also native to South America, which is believed to be the wild ancestor of the alpaca".
There is a similar issue with the llamas and the guanacos. It seems to be suggesting that llamas and guanacos came into existence in the same time frame. But llamas are described as probably being derived from wild guanacos elsewhere in Wikipedia.
I am not an expert but this way of representing a phylogenetic tree seems unusual. I am more used to seeing the stick type or perhaps a cladogram which are less ambiguous. Davefoc ( talk) 19:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
In the migration picture, it states that the Camelid family originated in North America during the Pleistocene. This is incorrect; Camelids originated in North America during the Eocene (~45 mya) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.106.195.8 ( talk) 18:28, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
There are some missing living members of the camolids one is the wild camel which has been proven to be genetically distinct from the bactrian camel and the other is the fact that there are two typs of Alpaca, one being the Suri alpaca and the other the Huacaya alpaca. this would make a total of 8 living camolids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dibe.bi.ee ( talk • contribs) 04:49, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Which camelid species walk by moving both legs on the same side at once? If all camelids do so, the trait should be indicated in this article, right? Rammer ( talk) 02:58, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
The map shows camelids in central Australia, but there is no mention of Australian camelids in the text. Bill ( talk) 22:48, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
