User:Ucucha/Oryzomyini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This serves as an overview for my Oryzomyini project, aimed at improving the coverage of Oryzomyini on Wikipedia to as high a level as possible.

Style notes

[edit]

From comments at Talk:Brazilian False Rice Rat/GA1, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Lundomys/archive1, and Wikipedia:Peer review/Lund's Amphibious Rat/archive1, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Pseudoryzomys/archive1, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Noronhomys/archive1, Talk:Carletonomys/GA1, general Wikipedia guidelines, and striving for consistency.

Naming

Scientific names should generally be used for oryzomyines (see WT:MAMMAL#Common names; User:Ucucha/Titles). When non-oryzomyine species are mentioned, they should also be referred to by the scientific name, not the vernacular name, if appropriate, even though the article is likely located at the common name.

Standard move message:

vernacular name is not really in common use, so scientific name should be used (see [[WP:RODENT#Guidelines]] and [[User:Ucucha/Titles]])
Organization

The lead should incorporate the main points of the article, including at least some points from each section. The next two sections should generally be "Taxonomy" and "Description", followed by others as required, including most often "Distribution and habitat" or something similar. This should really depend on the nature of the article: Megalomys audreyae shouldn't have as many sections as a much more well-known animal such as Holochilus sciureus.

Technical terms

Generally avoid them (terms like "dorsal", though common in scientific descriptions, can often be eliminated in favor of more lay-friendly terms through rephrasing). If not, explain briefly what they refer to ("a crest on the molars", "the roof of the tympanic cavity").

Measurements

Use {{convert}}, except for skull and other technical measurements. Convert into mi (distances), ft (altitudes), in (measurements), or oz (mass). Use semicolons between long lists of measurements.

Linking

Pages should generally be linked at most twice: once in the lead and once in the body of the article.

References

Should be as in Lundomys. More specifically: Use {{reflist|colwidth=30em}}. Do not use & between author names. Use dashes between page numbers. Do not italicize et al.[1] Link to an online version where possible. Indicate the language of the article (when not English).

Images

Give good alt text (verifiable from the image for a non-specialist).

Useful references

List and assessment of articles

[edit]

This section lists all oryzomyine topics that merit Wikipedia articles along with an assessment of the currently existing article. Assessment categories are as follows:

  • N (none): article does not exist.
  • P (Polbot class): article either created by Polbot or of similar quality. Such articles are one- to two-sentence stubs that typically only include basic taxonomy, distribution, and habitat information.
  • P+ (Polbot-plus class): as above, but expanded a little more. No more than a few paragraphs.
  • D (decent class): article is at least a few paragraphs in length and addresses several aspects of the species.
  • G (good class): article provides a reasonably complete overview of the species.
  • GA (Good Article class): article is a good article.
  • FA (Featured Article class): article is a featured article or other kind of featured page.

(DYK) indicates the article has been at did you know.

Common names

[edit]
See also User:Ucucha/Sigmodontinae, which lists other sigmodontines.

This is a list of common names used for all oryzomyine species. Lists from three specific sources giving fairly complete lists of common names are included, as are some names from other sources. The "Wikipedia" column gives the location where the Wikipedia article currently is, with SN = scientific name.

The common names reported for genera are taken by implication from the species names; they are not generally reported separately in the sources.

  1. ^ See use–mention distinction
  2. ^ Taxonomy is tricky here – Weksler elevated Z. b. cherriei to species, but have to see whether that's good enough to be accepted here.
  3. ^ Confirmation is needed that it is in fact a rice rat
  4. ^ Including Microakodontomys!
  5. ^ Not entirely sure what to do with it
