What is a runway in the context of this rat's nest building materials? Derrick Chapman 10:55, 14 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Derrickchapman ( talk • contribs)
Why would we need to include information about the distribution of Sigmodontinae? The distribution of Oryzomys is relevant, because it is the taxon immediately above O. palustris and therefore provides necessary context, but why would we want the distribution of Sigmodontinae, and not, for example, of Oryzomyini, Oryzomyalia, Cricetidae, Eumuroida, Muroidea, or any other taxon?

I think I'll have to explain this edit:

{{convert|40|to|80|g|oz|1|abbr=on}}
is harder to edit than 40 to 80 g (1.4 to 2.8 oz)
(I highly doubt that), it is irrelevant since most of these numbers don't change every day. Further, {{
Refbegin}} makes things just as "hard to read" as {{
reflist}}. You should complain about those standards at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability, and not set your own standards. --

I notice the presence of a section titled "Male Reproductive Anatomy". Is there something unusually notable about the male genitals of the species that warrants special mention, or is the absence of a corresponding "Female Reproductive Anatomy" section simply an oversight? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.167.92.26 ( talk) 21:19, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
On curaçao I've seen rodents that look very much alike these but I dont know if these creatures are the same. Does anyone know if they also inhabit the Caribbean? 190.4.164.113 ( talk) 03:07, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
