Another animal list! We continue our long journey through the mammals; having finished with the orders Carnivora (list of carnivorans + 9 sublists), aka "meat-eaters"; Artiodactyla (list of artiodactyls + 3 sublists), aka "hooved animals that aren't horses"; and Perissodactyla (list of perissodactyls + 0 sublists), aka "hooved animals that are horses (and tapirs, and rhinos)", we can now start on Lagomorpha, aka "things that are like rabbits". This subgroup is two families and a capstone list, and here is the first family list: list of leporids, the hares and rabbits. Turns out there's an awful lot of them: 73 species all over the world, and while there's a lot of differences between them they're all pretty recognizable as rabbits. Unlike prior lists, we have several redlinks here without pictures; there's been a lot of upheaval in the taxonomy of the South American cottontail rabbits in the last decade or so due to a few genetic studies, which hasn't made its way into nice Wikipedia articles yet. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 01:50, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Wikilink forbs, sedge, tubers, rhizomes as comparatively obscure words
  • "Grass and well as shrubs" - typo
  • Sagebrush is linked twice
  • That's all I got - great work as ever!! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:45, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • "called an leporid" → "called a leporid"
  • Done
  • "colloquially hares and rabbits." → Since you use "a leporid" before this, shouldn't this be "a hare or rabbit"?
  • Done
  • Maybe link Sylvilagus instead of cottontail rabbit since it appears first.
  • Done
  • "IUCN red list" → Capitalize.
  • Done, somehow that's been missed for all the prior lists
  • Andean tapeti has an available image that should be added (it's in the article infobox).
  • Done, thanks! Not sure how that one got missed
  • Image in the lead needs alt text (and I question the usefulness of "gray rabbit" as an alt for every image).
  • Done; since the purpose of the images is to provide a visual representation of the named animal, there's not much useful for the alt text
  • @AryKun: Replied inline, thanks for reviewing! --PresN 19:49, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image review from Kavyansh — Pass[edit]

  • It does not indeed, don't know where they got that from; that said, the artist died in 1912 (John Gerrard Keulemans), so it would still be 100 years
  • I think it's because commons doesn't have a cc-by-4.0-kr template (or a 3.0). I've added that to the image page.
  • On another note, I think, writing that it has been licenced under cc-by-4.0-kr, and using the normal cc-by-4.0 tag would be much better. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 05:56, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unclear; replaced with a different picture (iNaturalist, cc-by-4.0).
  • Replaced
  • Presumably because Justin Wilde, who only ever uploaded this one picture (and I can't find evidence that it was ever uploaded somewhere else before then), was a government employee on a government site (as he put in his edit summary), and so labelled it a government photo instead of pd-self.

That is it! Note: I did not check any maps, as I feel they mostly are appropriately licenced. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 13:15, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source review from Kavyansh — Pass[edit]

  • Ref#104 — doi=10.1093/jmammal/gyz126, shouldn't the doi be marked as openly accessible?
  • Ref#123 — should be an en-dash, not em-dash in the title.
  • Johns Hopkins University Press should be linked in "Feldhamer, George A.; Thompson, Bruce Carlyle; Chapman, Joseph A. (2003). Wild Mammals of North America. Johns Hopkins University Press. ISBN 978-0-8018-7416-1."
  • Suggesting to archive the sources.

Rest, impeccable sourcing: all sources are reliable, properly/consistently formatted! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 14:03, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dank's comments[edit]

  • Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
  • Checking the FLC criteria:
  • 1. I've done some minor copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. The (made to order) table coding seems fine. There are no sortable columns.
  • 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 actual problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates appear to be 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 (and cute!)
  • 6. It is stable.
