Authority[edit]

The article said Godman classified it, but MSW says the authority is Oldfield Thomas. - UtherSRG (talk) 02:22, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas tended to name things after the collector. It's also against the rules to name the animal after yourself so I suspct Thomas is the correct authority and Godman collected it. --Aranae 18:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Source needed[edit]

This is a very strange wallaby. I'm not sure if its description is a hoax. I think that the name is true, but I'm not sure about the rest. Needs to be verified with the original scientific papers if it is true. Nicolharper 01:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Nicolharper, absorbing food into a genome and glowing in the dark definitely needs a source --Aranae 18:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Without a source the glow-in-the-dark bit needs to be dropped. The problem is that it is integrated throughout the article. Is anything here factually accurate? The only thing I can verify is that they're from Queensland. Any chance they actually are the mascot of the Olympics? --Aranae 01:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a pile of rubbish. This seems to be the best info: http://eriss.erin.gov.au/cgi-bin/abrs/fauna/details.pl?pstrVol=MARSUPIALIA;pstrTaxa=426;pstrChecklistMode=1 - UtherSRG (talk) 02:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is crap, my Australian mammal book mentions nothing of it (and I am sure that something ilke that would be included). --liquidGhoul 08:39, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've gutted it. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
