Hi, I'll take a look at this one and make straightforward copyedits as I go (and explain in edit summaries). I'll jot queries below: Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:43, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

• for starters, ensure refs are complete - eg books need isbn, publisher and locations (if possible). Also, make all names in consistent format - eg Smith, J.; Jones, F.; etc.

actually, any reason why you don't use cite formats? They help in all the bolding and italics needed to make the refs more readable. Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:31, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I find this way easier since I type this out on Microsoft Word first. LittleJerry (talk) 12:12, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

• "battues" - umm, what?

Wow, I did not know that. Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

• within taxonomy section, discuss derivation of common and alternate names.

Can't find where the names or deprivated. LittleJerry (talk) 20:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I'll try and find some - I also looked on Web of Science and there are a whopping 834 articles with this species as a key word (!!!) - much of it is DNA sequencing and hence too esoteric for general consumption I feel, but there will be some useful bits to add. Do you have university access? If not I can check some fulltexts of articles to see what can be added. Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:34, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm afraid not. I have very limited access to fulltexts of articles. LittleJerry (talk) 02:08, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Okay. I'll take a look at Web of Science and see what looks promising later today. Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:03, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Right, now the relationships. Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:04, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

What's the status on this review? No comments in almost a month. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:56, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Damn, I began looking at stuff the other night. A Web of Science search shows alot of material with fulltexts only available by university access. I'd meant to add it myself but have been remiss. I'll itemise some comprehensivenss issues: Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:09, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

• Derivation of name(s).

• Closest relationships within the genus.

I'll get to the articles that LittleJerry can't get in another couple of days. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:09, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Not meaning to be a rush, but can we please get this though? LittleJerry (talk) 04:01, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Annoyingly, the last three or four times I've tried to log onto university access it's timed out or unavailalble. Hopefully I can sort it out in next day or two. Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:53, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

One last thing - chase - Williams, D. L. G . (1980). Catalogue of Pleistocene vertebrate fossils and sites in South Australia.

Trans. R. Soc. S . Aust. 104, 101-15
