- Images appropriate and licensed
- Sources RS, all links work.
Could the language of the non-English sources be added please?- Done, 2 x Spanish.
lead six scientific names have been introduced for it, but their consanguinity was not documented until 1998 — unlinked "consanguinity" is a bit technical for the lead. Can names, rather than species, be consanguine anyway?- Changed to "common identity".
More later, Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:33, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking up the review! Ucucha 11:50, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- described three new species of Oryzomys — described three new species of Oryzomys rice rats would help your readers a bit
- Done, and moved the sentences around a little.
- superciliary vibrissae (vibrissae, or whiskers, above the eyes) — since it's a gloss anyway, why not superciliary vibrissae (whiskers above the eyes)?
- Done.
- In the table, the n column left aligned, other data centred. Not a big deal, but why not centre this one too?
- Actually, all captions are centered and all cells in the body are left-aligned.
- In the lead the whiskers are 5 cm long, next time they are 50 mm. Inconsistent, esp as the lead is the only cm measurement in the article
- Changed to mm in lead.
- The species may be expected to reach further north and west, perhaps into Veracruz, southern Mexico, and western Venezuela — I'm not clear whether this is hypothesised actual range or predicted future expansion.
- The former, clarified.
- per MoS, image captions shouldn't include the article title. It's assumed they show this species unless otherwise stated
- Changed.
- widely distributed species with a presumably large population that is found in numerous protected areas. — lead said it is rare, here it's widespread and numerous
- That's part inconsistency in sources. I presume that although it is rare in any given place, it occurs in a lot of places, so the total population is still large.
- Any predators?
- Nothing I could find.
