Interesting detailed article, fine expansion, on great sources, no copyvio obvious. I can read the German but have to accept Japanese AGF, no problem. I don't like the misleading pretty picture, sorry, while we have at least one good image of the subject, and I am not happy with the hook which combines two unrelated statements. How about something more specific to this one creature, other than being eaten by foxes? First mammal described from Japan? Whatever. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:35, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hello; but it is so pretty... how about ALT1 as suggested then, with an alternative picture; thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 20:23, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that Siebold's account of the Ezo chipmunk (pictured) is credited by Oldfield Thomas as being the first description of a mammal from Japan?
, thank you so much! The image is licensed, shows well and illustrates the subject. - How about bringing the fox to GA? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:51, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
