Flag icon
I re-added the US flag icon. Norwegian forest cat has a Norwegian flag icon, so why shouldn't Maine Coon have a US flag icon? --Tallungs (talk) 15:39, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
size
I think we must either correct the claim of the "The Maine Coon is the largest domesticated cat breed", or correct the Norwegian Forest Cat's article (please compare the quoted average weights of both breeds). Ferkijel (talk) 12:08, 9 July 2020 (UTC))

Lipinski gets quoted a lot on the origins of the Maine Coon. Is she worth a mention here?

Top image
Do we have any proof that the top image is a Maine Coon other than the picture name? A previous edit said it wasn't one... Jack Slade The Englishman (talk) 21:34, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
Main coon
In 2006 the Guinness world records named a male pure bred Main coon the longest cat verismo leonetti reserve red better known as Leo measured 120 cm in length from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail and weighed 16kg that record was broken in 2010 by another main coon a male pure bred named Stevie messering 123cm from nose to tail 😉 hope I helped Lillybootsy (talk) 07:12, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
