Talk:Philippine warty pig

The information on the article "Taxonomy of wild pigs (Sus) of the Philippines" might be useful. However, it is not free.Lenticel 08:17, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Is now, or anyway, there are PDFs available from Oxford that I assume are legal. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 23:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

The article has no taxonomy section, failed verification and conservation section + the article is way too short for it to be ready for GAN. pls seek advice or help first before nominating. 2001:4455:3AA:B000:9D27:F806:B77C:4752 (talk) 01:35, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Grabbing review.

Images

• File:Philippine warty pig (9105598572).jpg is flagged. The uploader has a history of Flickrwashing. A reverse image search doesn't show anything immediate. The image adds little that the two other photos don't already cover and its caption, while humorous, isn't GA acceptable. Remove image.  Done
• MOS:SANDWICH  Fixed
• Other captions and images rights appear fine
• Always recommend alt text (optional).

Copy-Vios

• Large sections appear to be word-for-word/extremely close to a [1]:

• The Philippine warty pig is one of four species of pigs endemic to the Philippines. The other three endemic species are the Visayan warty pig (S. cebifrons), Mindoro warty pig (S. oliveri) and the Palawan bearded pig (S. ahoenobarbus), also being rare members of the family Suidae.
• Due to loss of its natural habitat from deforestation and uncontrolled logging and hunting, the Philippine warty pigs have been forced into close contact with domestic pigs – the domesticated variety of the foreign Eurasian wild boar – and hybridization between the two species has been reported. Accordingly, genetic contamination of Philippine warty pig stock is a real and irreversible problem.

Reviewing the dates on this blog is difficult. That being said, the posts surrounding this date it to 2013. Reviewing the edit history shows very similar statements predating the blog post in 2012, meaning that this is not a copy-vio. You don't have to do anything, I am just noting this in case someone else runs earwig and finds this.

• Earwig is otherwise clear.
• Spot checks found nothing. I will perform more, no news is good news.

• Close paraphrasing: They are believed to be mostly nocturnal, at least in areas where humans have disrupted the land  Partly done

Sourcing

• Recommend archiving (optional) Partly done
• No immediate concerns about reliability

Misc

• Page is stable
• Nominator is primary author
• External links/see also has no issues

Missing Info

• There's no taxonomy section. This is standard for animal articles since the binomial name and synonym aren't technically cited in the article.
• Diet and details on habitat (Amongst other info) is missing from the article that's in FN 2
• The "Habitat and environmental factors" section in FN 3 has info not in the article
• FN 5 has a very detailed description of the species, the subspecies, and their distributions that should be included
• After FN 5, I stopped checking, another pass through the sourcing is necessary

Prose

• The pigs are probably nocturnal. poorly phrased
• The MOS of the sections is not compliant. Condense to paragraphs.
• The species was scientifically described in 1886 by Alfred Nehring not stated in the body and technically uncited info  Fixed
• three skulls and part of a skin unnecessary specificity, just say 'skeletal remains'
• Why is there no discussion about the questionability of S. p. oliveri's taxonomic validity? FN 5 goes into depth about the issues of classifying this as its own subspecies and why they chose to anyway.
• The Philippine warty pig is one of four species of pigs endemic to the Philippines. The other three endemic species are the Visayan warty pig (S. cebifrons), Mindoro warty pig (S. oliveri) and the Palawan bearded pig (S. ahoenobarbus), also being rare members of the family Suidae.

is this information necessary? I can maybe see a small sentence about it but not a whole paragraph. This is information better suited to the sus genus article

• However, its present distribution is declining and subject to severe fragmentation... This whole paragraph has little to do with 'ecology and behavior'
• "Further evidence" WP:WEASEL
• as is hybridization between the two species. but doesn't hybridization lead to genetic pollution? The sentence is phrased such that they are two independent issues.

This is going to be a quickfail, there's just too much information missing to consider this ready for GA. I can see you're newer to GA, so please feel free to ping me with any questions or concerns. This isn't an exhaustive list, but a good place for you to start. 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 16:30, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
