Hi, Menchi, the English name of this animal is "Formodan clouded leopard" (the first word is so weird). Please see [1]. Can you correct it? Many thanks. P.S. By the way, thanks for your efficiency of creating this new entry, too. -- Wdshu 21:40, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hi Wdshu, actually the Taiwanese website you linked to made a spelling mistake there! It is Formosan Clouded Leopard. If you are specialising in Taiwanese subjects you are no doubt familiar with the "special" variety of spellings of English words used over here!! Thanks
Don't confuse the words "leopard" nad "clouded lepard". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.51.174 ( talk) 19:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Not extinct, reference [2] Jcfidy ( talk) 15:40, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
That's the page for the species, of which this is an extinct subspecies. Subspecies can go extinct, you know. Sumanuil ( talk) 00:19, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Is it extinct or not? The whole article is in the past-tense, and reading the article seems to indicate extinction. However it is referred to as vulnerable. 2021-11-30 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.64.236.231 ( talk) 22:48, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Should we move the species status to near extinction because of the new official sightings of the cat in Taiwan? We don't know how many individuals are left, but obviously a population does exist. Mcelite ( talk) 19:28, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
These alleged sightings have ALREADY been added and referenced : see section Formosan_clouded_leopard#Alleged sightings. -- BhagyaMani ( talk) 12:31, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

2600:1011:b020:d5f5:b80b:cc59:e6d6:12db, would you PLEASE stop trying to ram this utterly beside-the-point factoid into the lede? It is of no interest to the reader, it has no connection to the topic, it is trivially discoverable by clicking on the link Taiwan, and it runs counter the most basic Wikipedia style conventions. We do NOT preface a mention of USA with "Northern hemisphere English-speaking sovereign federal nation", for reasons that should be bleeding obvious. Stop this. I have asekd for the page to be semi-protected - if you persist in trying to ram this in, you will likely just find yourself unable to edit the page at all. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 16:12, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
