My life has been pretty busy the last few months, which greatly delayed the next list in my mammal series—not to mention the size of the list. But finally, following up on my 10-list series of Carnivora (carnivorans/felids/canids/mustelids/procyonids/ursids/mephitids/viverrids/herpestids/pinnipeds) comes a third list in Artiodactyla (cervids/suines): the 144 species of Bovidae, covering antelope, cows, gazelle, goats, and sheep. Basically just a ton of non-deer/pig/horse hooved animals in one giant family. This follows the pattern set by the previous 12 lists (and reviewer comments therein), so hopefully it's good to go. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 15:00, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Image review – Pass

[edit]
  • File:Gazella erlangeri.jpg – The source link doesn't has the image. The correct source link appears to be this, which states that the image is copyrighted (All rights reserved). The source states "The resized photographs can be freely used on any pages for non commercial, scientific and educational purposes, if you let me know about it first" The image doesn't seem to be licenced under CC 4.0.
  • Rest all around image are mostly "Own work" uploaded by Wikipedia user, from Flickr, or appropriately licenced. Images have ALT text. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:20, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other reviews

Comments
  • "have a population sizes of over one million" => "have population sizes of over one million"
  • Under springbok, shrubs is spelt incorrectly
  • Under Arabian oryx, and is spelt incorrectly
  • Under scimitar oryx, "as well fruits and vegetables" => "as well as fruits and vegetables"
  • The note should probably have a full stop
  • That's all I got - great work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:31, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dank

  • Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
  • "Bovids range in size from the 38 cm (15 in) long (plus 5 cm (2 in) tail) royal antelope to the 3.3 m (10.8 ft) long (plus 0.7 m (2.3 ft) tail) gaur, which can reach 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) in weight.": The third sentence of text on a page shouldn't be this hard to parse. Move some words around, please.
  • Took out the tails, it's just too much even besides the double-parenthesis
  • I don't remember what we decided in one of my lists about, for instance, "Dorcatragus megalotis.jpg ... |image-alt=" ... will the screen-readers read that correctly?
  • Alts shouldn't be missing, now added to the blank ones
  • Checking the FLC criteria:
  • 1. The prose is fine. There are no sortable columns. I sampled the links in the tables.
  • 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
  • 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
  • 3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates in the first column are present.
  • 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
  • 4. It is navigable.
  • 5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
  • 6. It is stable.
  • Close enough for a support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 02:05, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I've had a look over this and the only thing I could raise is that endnote a doesn't seem to be cited; the information doesn't seem to be present in the IUCN source for B. bison, although perhaps I'm missing it elsewhere. Either way both the 500,000 farmed figure and the claim they're "almost universally" hybrids feel like claims which should be referenced, but that's all I have. 𝄠ʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 20:46, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Grapple X: Thanks, cite added. --PresN 21:48, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
