  • starting review --Kevmin § 16:16, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Necromys urichi expansion new enough and long enough. Article referenced, with the hook fact clear from several references. Necromys refers to N. urichi as the "Northern Bolo mouse", while the N. urichi article makes no mention of that name at all, and is missing several of the other binomial synonyms from Mammals of South America. What of the three names "Northern bolo mouse" "Northern grass mouse" or Necromys urichi is most commonly found in the literature?--Kevmin § 11:30, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Necromys amoenus expansion new enough and long enough. The article is cited and the sources verify the hook. No policy issues identified with the article.--Kevmin § 15:18, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Articles Necromys Hairy-tailed bolo mouse Paraguayan bolo mouse Dark bolo mouse are all expanded enough and nominated in the nomination window. Articles are referenced and the hook is supported by the taxonomy presented in multiple of the sources. Excluding Necromys, the articles should probably be at the binomials as they all have several vernacular names. No policy issues identified with the articles at this time.--Kevmin § 01:17, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
@Kevmin: I agree that such articles are best listed under their binomials, but just expanded them under their pre-existing names. Sorry to be a bit slow responding to this. The commonest name for N. urichi seems to be "northern grass mouse" so I have changed that in the Necromys article. I'm not sure what "bolo" means anyway. Please note, there are two other articles included in this nomination, Rufous-bellied bolo mouse and Spotted bolo mouse. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:51, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth: No worries, Ive been slow on this nomination also, so we seem to be working together on this, haha.
Rufous-bellied bolo mouse and Spotted bolo mouse also expanded enough in the right time frame. No policy issues with either, and hook is verified with the references. Other articles are good to go also with the adjustments that have been made.--Kevmin § 20:42, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
