3. (to do) make tables for the gallery view workarounds.
Removed inclusion of well documented urban myths of African rocks eating people. There has never been a confirmed report of a human being consumed by an African rock, ever. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.0.131.236|24.0.131.236]] ([[User talk:24.0.131.236|talk]]) 15:07, 6 August 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Just to clarify on the original question, two kids were killed in New Brunswick, but they were not consumed (eaten) by the pythons. In a 2002 case, a 10-year-old was allegedly swallowed by an African Rock Python, but the snake was not captured, and with nothing but witness accounts the incident was not "verified". A 1973 report of a soldier who was recovered from the stomach of a large python was similarly unverifiable. [[User:Agyle|Agyle]] ([[User talk:Agyle|talk]]) 08:57, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

{{requested move/dated|African rock python}}
[[:Python sebae]] → {{no redirect|African rock python}} – This very well known snake (one of the largest few snakes in the world by both weight and length) has a well-established and unambiguous common name, so we should use that name as the article title per [[WP:COMMONNAME]] / [[WP:NCFAUNA]]. The suggested destination name already redirects here, and always has since it was created in 2007. There were a couple of comments on the talk page in 2011 suggesting that the most common name for the species might be "Southern African rock python" or "Natal rock python", and the article itself also mentions the name "African python", but the primary common name mentioned in the article is "African rock python", which matches my personal impression that it is the most common name. As best I can tell, the article has never yet been moved and no prior formal move discussion has occurred. —[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 00:00, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
