Untitled[edit]

What is the 'eastern hemisphere'?

It is a bad expression for Old World. --Chl 18:32, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Using the term "Old World" in this day and age isn't really suitable. -Naros —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.93.153.78 (talk) 20:44, August 21, 2007 (UTC)

Banned in Rome[edit]

I've often heard that eating dormice was both common and then banned in Roman empire times. Any authoritative discussion of that available?

Link should go?[edit]

The John Hopkins link seems to be commercial, not giving any useful further information Mcewan 22:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dormice banned in Italy, conservation status[edit]

As of Oct 7, 2007, I believe dormice is banned in Italy, following an official raid against restaurants serving them. I've written it in an article in my website (http://www.fooxion.com).


Natural monument of Japan?[edit]

Is this serious? MONUMENT?

Etymology[edit]

Where does the name "dormouse" come from? I have the impression that the mouse-part is only folk etymology.80.141.150.253 (talk) 15:56, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the Wiktionary article “dormouse” disputes the idea that the word comes from Latin dormire ‘to sleep’.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 00:26, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
