 | A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on September 28, 2009. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the rice rat "Oryzomys hypenemus", first identified from bones collected from caves in Antigua and Barbuda as early as 1958, still lacks a formal scientific name today? | |||||||||
Why quotation marks edit
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (titles)#Italics, genera and lower taxa should be italics, but this article incorrectly uses quotation marks in addition to italics. Please fix. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- The use is intentional, to emphasize the fact that the name is not available according to the nomenclatural Code. Turvey's 2009 book Holocene Extinctions also places the name within quotation marks. Ucucha 00:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for the clarification. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:13, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- I just added a DEFAULTSORT without the quotation marks. — BarrelProof (talk) 15:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
