Please stop vandalising this article[edit]

To the people adding the names of famous pornographic film stars under "Examples of wood-eating animals": please get a life! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.253.81 (talk) 02:13, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the title of this article[edit]

I know the behaviour of eating wood as "lignophagia" - in my experience, this is the common term. I have not actually heard of Xylophagia before, but others may have a different experience. It took me some time to get to this article. Should we change the title?__DrChrissy (talk) 17:21, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When will the vandalism stop?[edit]

I'm fed up with juvenile people inserting the names of their peers, ex-girlfriends and school teachers under the section "Examples of wood-eating animals". Please cast your aspersions into a diary, tie it up with some string and then throw it into a chasm already!! -121.211.202.245 (talk) 23:29, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Beavers[edit]

Since they eat the soft live tissue under the bark, and even though that layer is called 'xylem', I'd still argue that beavers don't eat wood. 2605:B100:15E:69BC:DC08:988A:8A0E:2BB7 (talk) 19:15, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
