[edit] Dogs
Dogs and cats are listed under tetra-dactyly, but the majority *do* have 5 toes- one of them is just several inches up their legs. does that really count? (user- Cantras) 129.186.37.193 01:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Some corrections
Chameleons ought to be noted under zygodactyly, and the Hoatzin (sic) should not, or else its article is incorrect.
Also the definition for sydactyly is incorrect. What is given is a definition for anisodactyly.

[edit] Merge
- This article DESPERATELY needs to be merged into Syndactyly — SMcCandlish [talk] *[contrib] ツ 12:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. --Ihope127 19:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- The taxonomy sections should be merged. This page should stay separate as an explanation of the human medical condition, which is of separate interest. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.152.53.197 (talk • contribs).
- Except that neither Dactyly nor Syndactyly are about "the human medical condition", in particular. They are almost completely duplicate articles, about dactyly conditions in general, in both animals and humans. I agree with your underlying idea - the Albinism article is discussing a similar split. The human condition does need a Polydactyly (humans) article, as the human interest in medical conditions is of significant separate interest from their general nature in the animal world. However that has nothing at all to do with whether these two articles should be merged. P.S.: Please sign your posts (you do that by adding ~~~~ at the end. :-)

[edit] Genes
- Dear Sir or Madam:
- Has yet the gene(s) or DNA area been identfied in which the Sundactyly factor resides? What is it, what is its nominclature? Can it be excised without damage to other aspects of the human strains?:*

- I'm unsure of the answer, however I see no need to remove the gene(s). - Quolnok 16:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Those with severe cases of hypodactyly and syndactyly might disagree with you on that one. :-/ — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 12:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

- Copied to Talk:Dactyly, as apparently the templates want us to discuss it over there.
[edit] Broken image
The image is corrupt, at both small and medium size. The very large original is OK (though mispelled in filename) The big one should be downloaded, reuploaded to generate new sm. & m. sizes and replace the broken one in the article. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 12:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed
I have removed the following, "It is unethical to perform such surgery on infants or children." This is an opinion not a fact.

[edit] All mammals are descended from the pentadactyl limb
"All land vertebrates are descended from an ancestor with a pentadactyl limb" Whales and dolphins are not land vertebrates, but they are descended from an ancestor with a pentadactyl limb. It should be expanded to include not just land vertebrates, but all mammals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.138.96.121 (talk) 20:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
