I think we should add a description for Sophie as she will likely be in the running for Dominant Female and she is now shown often as a baby sitter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.105.187.233 ( talk) 18:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

With the end of series 4, I now agree that Sophie should have her own section. However, as this is a featured list, it must be well sourced and well done before being added. We need to make a list of episodes she appeared in, especially her first appearance, and what was revealed about her in each episode. The episode list doesn't mention her name until the 3rd series, which I suspect was not her first appearance. If someone can help get that info together, I'll draft and write up the section for her. A section can not be added without the sources or it will threaten the featured status of the list. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 01:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Sophie fist appeared as a pup and then as a babysitter in season 1. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.247.121.78 ( talk) 20:40, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I propose that we split this article into Meerkats that are alive, and ones that are deceased, believed to be deceased, or missing. It is sort of confusing with deceased Meerkats descriptions being mixed in with those meerkats who are alive and well.
I also would like to suggest that we add a spolier warning at the top of the page. (I know that this issue came up with Flower's death, and people refused to put one up even though such a warning wouldn't hurt, while lack of one could). I know that most of the descriptions have information about already-aired episodes, but things such as Rocket Dog's TOTALLY UNNATURAL (even though the researchers have the nerve to say that everything is completely the way it would be without them there) death, which hasn't yet been aired, could be a spoiler to some viewers. Thanks, 67.185.45.50 ( talk) 07:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
I wasnt suggesting as a fan either. First, it's wikipedia- we're all about not being confusing and after reading alive meerkat-dead meerkat-alive meerkat, i get confused. second, why should someone expect it to be spoiled for them just because it's wikipedia? should someone reading about the life of houdini on wikipedia expect to have the secrets of his magic tricks spoiled, too? 67.185.45.50 ( talk) 04:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I said already that it wasn't about spoilers. Imagine reading a list of previous countries, mixed among still existing countries. After a while, you're like "wait, what countries are still there again?" It's about clarity, not spoilers. And I'm not saying we should put spoiler warnings up, but I don't think we should put a whole bunch of un-needed spoilers up, just because we don't do spoiler warnings. That's sort of taking advantage of it. There really is no need for you to be so possesive of this article. It isn't "your" article, you know. 67.185.45.50 ( talk) 08:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
HOW MANY TIMES do I have to say, this isn't about hiding spoilers, it's about clarity? It's like having a list of discontinued brands jumbled with a list of current brands. You eventually can't remember which one is current and which ones are discontinued. You are really acting like this is you article, and it's not. Everyone has the right to edit this page, even if you don't like it. 67.185.45.50 ( talk) 23:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Just because you have contibuted to the article doesn't mean no one else can edit it. See wp: own. They say that if you don't expect your ideas to be edited mercilessly, don't edit. It's not about hiding spoilers, it's about making it more clear to readers which meerkats are alive and which ones are dead. If anything, that spoils it more, which should appeal to you since you love spoilers and think they're a necessary part of every article. 67.185.45.50 ( talk) 19:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I think that through there is not a season 5 in this moment. We have to add updated information from the KMP. That is an very realiable source. For example: when it says in the Whiskers: Dominant female: Rocket Dog Dominant male: Mitch we have to put in brackets () that as the kmp says, Thundercat and Ella are the leaders (but they are not named by mm) updated as nov.2009.
Another thing is to add that the Vivian mob died by tb and that is the true reason of because the commandoes in season 4 are played by the commandoes. Another thing is as kmp says, that the Zappa dissapeared.
Well, i only think that. It will be well for the article, to add updated and reliable information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.247.121.78 ( talk) 04:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Yes but you put updated information in Rocket Dog that was AFTER the series. I think that also in the other meerkats we have to put what are they are doing now. I dont know why we cant do that. For example, in an article if a series finish they still update info of the protagonist. In the Commandoes we have to put that the real commandoes do the season 4 because the Vivian died by tb. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.247.121.78 ( talk) 20:26, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
The Vivian-Commandoes information is said by the KMP. Meerkat manor never mentioned Rocket Dog`s Death. I think also that is incorrect to put the dominant male-female in every mob. Because a non fan person will think that there are now that dominants when not. Also is not coherent to put Rocket Dog as dominant female when she died. The same with the Lazuli. 3 years after, there are new dominants. Cazanna died (as the article says) and Jd (was Carlos) died in the Starsky. -- 190.247.121.78 ( talk) 18:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Animal Planet never mentioned or aired a tribute for her (If yes, don`t put Rocket Dog as Dominant Female, instead put a -). We have to put a note that this is a list of meerkats in the series at the end of series and that proably in this moment are other meerkats as dominants. A person who don`t know nothing will think that this are the dominants now. -- 190.247.121.78 ( talk) 01:26, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
