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

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?

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

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?

Is this serious? MONUMENT?

Etymology

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]
