| I do not think this article needs be cleaned up, but that's just my opinion. I did remove the tag becuase it was interferring with the article. It was partially blocked by the picture and made the article look bad. I have no problem with discussing tis first, but Prae made some big changes and blanked large parts of the article out. I don't think the article is too long, I really don't. So I think we need to discuss any future edits like this here first. No hard feelings.] 15:53, September 6, 2005 (UTC) | * I do not think this article needs be cleaned up, but that's just my opinion. I did remove the tag becuase it was interferring with the article.

| I don't think you can argue this-- the content of the old article is unencyclopedic.

Also, it is in need of copy editing as there are several misplaced modifiers, comma splices and awkward sentences- many of which I fixed but you reverted without even checking.

New external link
Re: the new external link (to the German breeder) - is it getting towards being advertising? Nickj (t) 23:07, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Cleanup

Nice pictures
What a fascinating article! I have never seen a Maine Coon and I am just amazed that such a beautiful cat exists. Thank you for the picture of the Maine Coon cat next to the normal housecat. I did check the links, but do wonder if it would it be possible to find more pictures of the Coons along side their diminutive cousins? :-) Aloysius Patacsil 04:59, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
