Vespucci's Rodent →
Noronhomys — In the relevant literature on this animal, it is usually referred to as just Noronhomys; the proposed common name "Vespucci's Rodent" is used in a single scholarly work (though a very important one), on Wikipedia, and some Internet reference sites that probably got their information from Wikipedia. In contrast, scholarly articles on the topic (of which there are not many) universally refer to it by the scientific name, as does the IUCN Red List. See
WT:MAMMAL#Common names for a lengthy discussion on this topic.

Vespucci mentioned that the rats he saw had "two tails". What's the deal with this? Were they inbred? Stonemason89 ( talk) 14:39, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
There's a problem with the size template being used; a sentence in the Description section currently reads "In three individuals measured, the occipitonasal length, a measure of skull length, varies from 38 to 39.2 millimetres (1.5 to 1.5 in)". That's one of the problems of using those templates. Firsfron of Ronchester 02:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. No consensus. I was tempted to instead vote oppose on policy/guideline grounds as set out below, but I think it's a valid no-consensus close as is, so let's move on. Andrewa ( talk) 16:09, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
