Rating

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)).

format to table

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

---

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

---

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

Thoughts? --67.142.130.49 15:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Seems like a nice idea. Not every column needs to be sortable. Kappa 22:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
  • This is not an option due to the presence of in-table headers that can't readily be eliminated. Circeus 23:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Extinct and prehistoric

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)

Specifically since colonization. I can make it more explicit. Circeus 01:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

"In written history" is fine, thanks. Kappa 23:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Links to subsections

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

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)

Is there a link to Family Sciuridae: Squirrels in your TOC? Kappa 23:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

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)

Humans?

@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)

@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 (talk • contribs) 03:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

@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)

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 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Groenland?

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)

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