Why was [[Cardassian vole]] moved here? A vole is a common rodent found on [[Earth]] as well, shouldn't the fact that these are [[Cardassian]] mean it shouldn't be limited to such a broad term as "vole" alone?--[[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]] 18:24, 23 Jan 2005 (CET)

==Shared origin with Cardassians==
  +
Recently someone edited the article to add that fact that the heads of the vole and Cardassians have some similarities, and said that this "illustrated their shared origins." I have changed this to saythat it shows their "possible shared origins." Without any canon statements, we cannot state that they do actually have shared origins that cause these similarities. Many Earth animals share similarities, and yet are not related. It is called "[[wikipedia: Convergent Evolution|Convergent evolution]]". Therefore, it is possible that the vole does not share features with Cardassians from a common ancestor. --[[User:OuroborosCobra|OuroborosCobra]] 05:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Shared origin with Cardassians

Recently someone edited the article to add that fact that the heads of the vole and Cardassians have some similarities, and said that this "illustrated their shared origins." I have changed this to saythat it shows their "possible shared origins." Without any canon statements, we cannot state that they do actually have shared origins that cause these similarities. Many Earth animals share similarities, and yet are not related. It is called "Convergent evolution". Therefore, it is possible that the vole does not share features with Cardassians from a common ancestor. --OuroborosCobra 05:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

PNA-Incomplete

I added several citations to uncited references in the article, however, there are several references still not references.

Keep in mind that several of the cited references already in the article could very well be expanded too. --Alan 11:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe I have now taken care of all of the missing references. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:05, August 24, 2013 (UTC)

Redirect?

I previously added the Crimes category, since vole fighting is illegal, but I wondered if it would be better to list Vole Fighting in the crime category instead. I don't think a seperate page is needed for it, so I was thinking of creating a redirect with that title so it could appear in the Crimes Category list, or was adding the category to this article sufficient? Any thoughts? 31dot 21:12, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Name

Shouldn't the page name actually be Cardassian Vole? That is, with an uppercase "V" as the species is a "Vole" with a Cardassian nomenclature or whatever added on for clarification?--Terran Officer 07:07, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
