I restored this sentence. It has been claimed that Rhynchocyon cirnei shirensis was described only in 1968, but the page on Rhynchocyon cirnei, or the Checkered Elephant Shrew, says 1847. Are we talking about a subspecies maybe? The ternary name seems to imply so, and in that case the original claim still stands.
In any case, we should get this issue sorted out quickly, since it's the chosen hook for the article as a DYK nominee. Lampman ( talk) 10:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I wonder if this article should be titled Grey-faced Elephant Shrew rather than Grey-faced Sengi? MSW3 lists every other species in the order Macroscelidea as an "Elephant Shrew". Thoughts? Rgrds. -- Tombstone ( talk) 13:51, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
MSW3 also tends to use "Gray" rather than "Grey". So I wonder if this should be Gray-faced Elephant Shrew. Rgrds. -- Tombstone ( talk) 13:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
I've just removed all the spurious uses of the {{ cite interview}} tag referring to e-mails. Personal communications are not reliable sources and constitute original research. Much of the content of this article may need to be removed because of this. — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 15:37, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
If this animal is actually only 5.6 cm / 2.2 in long and weighs in at 710 g / 25 oz, you sure would know it was a new species: given any normal mammalian body shape, it would have to be made of something a lot heavier than lead. (A cylinder of solid osmium, densest of the elements, the same length and of diameter 2.54 cm / 1.0 in, would weigh only 646 g / 23 oz.) The emphasis on the animal's weight in the Rathbun quote made me wonder if somebody's testing our numeracy here. David K ( talk) 20:06, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

The article is currently tagged for original research. Can someone point out what is of concern as original research? There are some citation needed tags. Can the OR tag be removed? RJFJR ( talk) 17:53, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
