I'm not sure about this article, but give me some time and I'll have this nomination fully reviewed. 20 upper ( talk) 12:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
They have one or two litters a year, and have one or two young.[13] The gestation period of the Viverridae, the family to which the banded palm civets belong, varies from 32 to 64 days.[13] The newborn civets weigh as little as 125 grams, and usually first open their eyes eight to twelve days after being born. They typically feed on their mother's milk (nurse) for up to 70 days.[5][13]I suggest you to remove the first occurrence of citation 13, as it appears four times.
Wikipedia says "The tail is usually three-quarters the length of the body" That is too-close paraphrasing
Wikipedia says "have been extirpated in the early 20th century." Again, the paraphrasing is too close
They prefer intact forest habitat; a 2022 paper thus concluded that, as a source of zoonoses – diseases potentially transmitted from other organisms to humans, and vice-versa – in natural areas, the civets are low-risk.The sentence is barely comprehendible, and some of the statements are not supported by the citation.
The same paper found a negative correlation between the number of the animals that they captured and the distance from rivers – that is, fewer civets were found closer to the river than farther from it – and a similar correlation between the numbers of civets and forest destruction. Fewer civets were found the more forest loss there was within the local area (within one kilometre).- Out of context.
Wikipedia says "They are known to be strict carnivores, as opposed to other civets, which are usually omnivorous." Too-close once again
Wikipedia says "According to one analysis, worms and orthopterans made up 80% of the civets' diet across twelve samples, the remainder being composed of other invertebrates." Too-close once again
I've seen enough, and I'm failing this article.
