Conflict among sentences

The page currently says "which show that its molars were almost identical to those of the extant Lund's Amphibious Rat (Lundomys molitor). Although distinct in molar morphology..." Should that be "Although indistinct"? --Aranae (talk) 23:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That should refer to the fact that it is distinct from Holochilus in molar morphology, not from Lundomys, but that's evidently not clear. The sentence needs a rephrasing. Ucucha 23:42, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it; it should be clear now. I also changed the word "also", which you added to the sentence about Pardiñas suggesting its placement in a new genus, into "explicitly". Carleton and Olson do not really say that it should be placed in its own genus; as I read the paper, they suggest that it should perhaps be placed in Lundomys or Pseudoryzomys. It's a minor matter, of course, but I think the current wording is more accurate. Ucucha 13:02, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great. --Aranae (talk) 13:35, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Well, no images are used, but I understand they are either nonexistent, copyrighted or extremely hard to find. Airplaneman ✈ 18:56, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Yes, definitely GA status. For FA, I would recommend getting hold of some pictures (if possible). Airplaneman ✈ 18:56, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
