Talk:Goodman's mouse lemur

Fair use rationale for Image:Microcebus lehilahytsara -large.jpg

Image:Microcebus lehilahytsara -large.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Removal of reference to Mort in the Madagascar film

I removed the pop culture reference to Mort, the mouse lemur in the film Madagascar (2005 film) because, as far as I know, there is no source that states that Mort was based on this species. In fact, most species of mouse lemur look indistinguishable in appearance, and the reason for the recent reclassification of numerous new species are mostly based on genetic tests. So unless an official source documents such information, it should not be included on the page. Furthermore, I removed the image of Mort due to possible copyright violations. –Visionholder (talk) 05:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Future reference

More of a note to myself, but more information about the species can be found in the following source:

• Radespiel, U.; Ratsimbazafy, J. H.; Rasoloharijaona, S.; Raveloson, H.; Andriaholinirina, N.; Rakotondravony, R.; Randrianarison, R. M.; Randrianambinina, B. (2011). "First indications of a highland specialist among mouse lemurs (Microcebus spp.) and evidence for a new mouse lemur species from eastern Madagascar". Primates. 53 (2): 157–170. doi:10.1007/s10329-011-0290-2. PMID 22198090.

I will revisit this when I re-write the article at a later date. In the meantime, others are welcome to add the information. – VisionHolder « talk » 20:19, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Authors

Dear all, Are you really sure that this species was described in 2005 by Christian Roos dead in 1896! Seems to be an automatic completion. I will try to found the right authors and put here. Have a nice day. French user Givet Givet (talk) 06:58, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

In fact it is !!! But not the same "Christian Roos" the link gives us. So maybe you have to add an "extension" to the same to separate them. And the second author is Peter Kappeler. The best to all of you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Givet (talk • contribs) 07:01, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
