Hi, I am currently the sole coordinator for WikiProject Mammals since ZooPro retired. My main focus is on side things like assessment of articles, maintaining project pages, and coordinating collaborations (hopefully, haven't had any luck yet). I also work on stub articles one at a time in my sandbox. The project could really use another coordinator to help with the workload and help start a collaboration, hopefully.

Before you declared the recent changes to Catatropis johnstoni as an "unwarranted change in style", did you check WP:LAYOUT to see what the Wikipedia guideline says about Notes and References? If not, would you please have a look at the Notes and References section. As for the categories — I admit that I am not an expert — they came from the linked Trematoda page; if this creature is a trematoda, shouldn't the same categories apply?

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 25, 2010, The Beginning of the End needs quotation marks. I would normally bug Juliancolton about this, but hasn't edited in a few days. Thanks, Dabomb87 ( talk) 12:38, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Reference Transandinomys talamancae. This article states the species lives in lowland forests from Costa Rica to southwestern Ecuador and northern Venezuela, up to 1525 m (5000 ft) above sea level. The origin for the altitude was feet. This was obviously not measured, it's estimated, most likely to the nearest 1000 feet. Does this animal ever go above 5000 feet? Maybe! Does it only go to 4500 ft? Maybe. Therefore the implied accuracy of this 5000 feet figure is plus minus 500 ft. So whey would we have a meter figure to the nearest meter? The implied accuracy would round the figure to the nearest 100 meters. Another example, If I said the intersection is about 100 meters away, would that be 109 yards away? No it's only an estimation, the figure would be both 100 meters and 100 yards. With this in mind I'd ask you to change the article back to 1500 m (5000 ft).

Have you heard about thIis? The Malaysian government and zoos took objection to the naming of this subspecies after somebody, and proposed to call it malayensis instead. Until I corrected this, the page used Malaysia's name. I can't find any evidence that anybody published the second name, and that it should be listed as a synonym (which it is on Wikimedia Commons and Wikispecies). Do you think you could find this out?
This isn't the only time governments have tried changing scientific names: Turkey also has demanded that any mammals found in Turkey with names like armeniana or kurdistanensis be renamed, as scientists surely must have named them with some sort of malicious intent.
By the way, can you check Zoological Record for articles on Passer predomesticus some time? I'm not sure there are any except Tchernov and Markus. (If you can't view Zoological Record pages now, I'll ask someone else.) I'm more hopeful on the Socotra Sparrow and all the others. — innotata 21:29, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

There was no proper closing. Opinions on the move were still very much divided and proposed alternatives were not even considered. I think your decision was premature and that is why I reverted it.

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 25, 2010, The Beginning of the End needs quotation marks. I would normally bug Juliancolton about this, but hasn't edited in a few days. Thanks, Dabomb87 ( talk) 12:38, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Reference Transandinomys talamancae. This article states the species lives in lowland forests from Costa Rica to southwestern Ecuador and northern Venezuela, up to 1525 m (5000 ft) above sea level. The origin for the altitude was feet. This was obviously not measured, it's estimated, most likely to the nearest 1000 feet. Does this animal ever go above 5000 feet? Maybe! Does it only go to 4500 ft? Maybe. Therefore the implied accuracy of this 5000 feet figure is plus minus 500 ft. So whey would we have a meter figure to the nearest meter? The implied accuracy would round the figure to the nearest 100 meters. Another example, If I said the intersection is about 100 meters away, would that be 109 yards away? No it's only an estimation, the figure would be both 100 meters and 100 yards. With this in mind I'd ask you to change the article back to 1500 m (5000 ft).

Have you heard about thIis? The Malaysian government and zoos took objection to the naming of this subspecies after somebody, and proposed to call it malayensis instead. Until I corrected this, the page used Malaysia's name. I can't find any evidence that anybody published the second name, and that it should be listed as a synonym (which it is on Wikimedia Commons and Wikispecies). Do you think you could find this out?
This isn't the only time governments have tried changing scientific names: Turkey also has demanded that any mammals found in Turkey with names like armeniana or kurdistanensis be renamed, as scientists surely must have named them with some sort of malicious intent.
By the way, can you check Zoological Record for articles on Passer predomesticus some time? I'm not sure there are any except Tchernov and Markus. (If you can't view Zoological Record pages now, I'll ask someone else.) I'm more hopeful on the Socotra Sparrow and all the others. — innotata 21:29, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, it looks as if it supports Turner's decision to lump. — she used it as a source, but it's worth adding a bit, will do soon Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:19, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Ucucha, nice to know you. I'm glad to se you're contributing developing
F.V. article. I'd like to explain why you found 4 times the same source in the biography section. That source[1] is the only primary source today available about FV' life and his family. It was used 4 times waiting to change the footnotes using the {{
cite book}}
: Empty citation (
help) and the op.cit. form for pointing each time the related page number. Don't be surprised to find Veranzio and Vrancic on the same line: it's a work-in-progress phase in which editors use the name cited in the related sources. Thanks anyways for your copy-editing, you are welcome to offer your help again.
See you around, --

There was no proper closing. Opinions on the move were still very much divided and proposed alternatives were not even considered. I think your decision was premature and that is why I reverted it. Not because I like to revert you – I don’t even no know who you are – but because of a wrong closure of the discussion. I am not particularly in favour to revert decisions unless they are blatantly mistaken. - DonCalo ( talk) 18:24, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Ucucha, you may have forgotten to close this 'fork' of the proposal when you closed the main discussion. Regards, Cavila ( talk) 16:24, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

There's an interesting rodent from the island of Hispaniola called a Hispaniolan Hutia, as well as another bizarre mammal called a Hispaniolan Solenodon. I've added a few potential sources to their talk page. Later, if you're looking for a distraction, they might be good articles to work on for conservation reasons. I'm also tempted to suggest them for collaboration after Slow loris (one of my high-priority non-lemur articles) gets taken care of. – VisionHolder « talk » 14:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
