Should be nominated and reviewed also as a feature list...Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information.

A-Class current rating.... Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points.(SriMesh | talk 02:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)).Reply

format to table

edit

How would tables instead of bulleted lsts work inside every order paragraph? Insted of having this:



we could turn it to this:


Common name Species Genus Subfamilty Family Suborder
North American Porcupine Erethizon dorsatum LR/lc Erethizon Erethizontinae Erethizontidae (New World porcupines) Hystricomorpha
Mountain Beaver Aplodontia rufa LR/nt Aplodontia   Aplodontidae (mountain beaver) Sciurognathi
American Beaver Castor canadensis LR/lc Castor   Castoridae (beavers) Sciurognathi

Extinct and prehistoric

edit

I'm confused as to what time period the "Extinct, extirpated or reintroduced species" section is covering. I assume that there were mammoths etc once upon a time. Kappa 23:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Specifically since colonization. I can make it more explicit. Circeus 01:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
"In written history" is fine, thanks. Kappa 23:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Is it possible to link to the subsections (like felidae and canidae) from the table of contents? Kappa 23:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Uh? There ARE links, which are automatically generated by the MediaWiki software, and they work just fine with me. What browser are you using? Circeus 01:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Is there a link to Family Sciuridae: Squirrels in your TOC? Kappa 23:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, sorry. I confused families and orders there. I don't think that's a good idea because it makes the TOC unmanageable (which is why I removed the links from List of mammals of Korea). See before and after. Circeus 01:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Humans?

edit

@BamBen2715: Humans were recently removed from the list. It seems to me accurate to include them. What is the reason for taking them out?  SchreiberBike | ⌨  01:56, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

@SchreiberBike: I have looked through many other "List of mammals of..." articles, and I found that, besides this one, very few seemed to include humans. Besides, I doubt many people will go to this article looking for humans specifically. I admit there were "a few" articles that had humans, so you can undo my edit if you think it is necessary. However, besides the fact that we're technically mammals, I don't see any real reason to have humans on the list.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BamBen2715 (talkcontribs) 03:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
@BamBen2715: Just because humans are "mammals of Canada" makes me think they should be there. I think I will add it back, but I don't think I'll start adding humans to all the other lists. Thanks,  SchreiberBike | ⌨  04:21, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
It feels a bit silly, but it's technically accurate. We would have to word our inclusion criteria in a strange way to exclude them. —Arctic Gnome (talkcontribs) 16:49, 26 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Groenland?

edit

I corrected a few uses of "Groenland" to "Greenland". If that's not correct, please fix or let me know. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨  05:59, 12 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Groenland" is the French wording for "Greenland" Gimly24 (talk) 20:30, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
