Hi, I'll be reviewing this article. It looks rather good, and I don't have many suggestions.
Prose
[edit]- First described in 2001 from Greece and Hungary, its known distribution* - Could you clarify what "first described" means? I think it's saying that it was originally only thought to live there, and if that's the case, it wasn't described from there, unless that's where scientists described it... yes, a clarification would be nice.
- The former is indeed what is meant; I've reworded.
- The other sections read very well. Your prose is very professional, and reads like any old journal article. My one other nitpick is the very choppy records section. I understand that writing these records in one big jumbled section would be even choppier, so I think it's fine as is.
- Yes. The species may now be well-known enough that such a detailed discussion of records is superfluous, but I think the list remains interesting (and I had fun tracking down all the records!).
References
[edit]The sources you used seem reliable as a whole. I'm slightly confused why the IUCN source has a link to the website's homepage and the others don't, could you please clarify?
- None of the others are part of a greater work, as the IUCN Red List account is.
Images
[edit]I suppose you could not find any free pictures of the bat. Perhaps you could add another image of one of the other bats that's aesthetically nice?
- Added one of M. mystacinus. I'm interested in File:Myotis mystacinus.jpg, which looks kind of like it might be alcathoe, with its white ear bases. Ucucha 19:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Overall
[edit]The article's well-written and comprehensive. It's stable and well-organized. The sources used appear extremely reliable and I have no doubt that the information's accurate (without reading the foreign sources). I'm going to pass the article with the hope that you'll still consider my suggestions. ceranthor 17:59, 2 January 2011 (UTC) Reviewer: ceranthor 17:59, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
