There are a lot of bits from this article that don't seem to be adding to the knowledge behind it. Somebody clearly added them in because they're passionate on the subject, and they don't read very professionally.
Example: "At first glance, fossils tell you what and animal ate and how tall it was at the shoulder, but to the trained eye and to a mind able to put the pieces of a puzzle together, they can reveal much more. Fossils are the remnants of a living animal and are usually bones which are the bones are the template for a vertebrate in large part. By using the bones and understanding how the living animal's life affects the development, shape, and damages to bones within the creature, a great deal can be learned, much more than just how big it was."
Most people understand what fossils are. Information like this should be concise and not placed here, it should be on the Fossil article.
The first paragraph of Machairodontinae#Injured_muscles is mostly irrelevant and appears to be a small rant about paleontology in general. There are other areas. Someone needs to read through this article and delete a quarter of it. --Guest
Someone added a line to the article, claiming that Miracinonyx belongs to Machairodontinae. This is not correct!
No, unless all the other lineages of sabercats get their own articles. And then we would need an umbrella article, perhaps "Saber-toothed cat".-- Curtis Clark 23:36, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

I edited this section extensively because i felt it there was a lot more to discuss. I included the section on convergent evolution because the saber-toothed cat page does not go over in any extent comparison between the major groups, so i tried to make a point not to redefine what is on that page, but compare the other groups to machairodonts in terms of morphology. i was planning on developing the pages for the other groups in the same mannor (the barbourofelids page having a comparison of barbourofelid morphology to all other saber-tooth groups, etc.). Should these be left out and all the comparison information be located only on the saber-tooth page with a link on the pages of the specific groups' to there? -- Coluberssymbol ( talk) 01:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I am curious to know if the name Pontosmilus should be deleted from the list of genera and the family tree. The name redirects to the article Paramachairodus, is apparently synonymous with the latter genus, and creates confusion regarding machairodont family ties. --Saberrex-Strongheart-- ( talk) 17:08, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
