Bicolored shrew edit

  • ... that when danger threatens, one of the young of the bicolored shrew grips its mother while the others join on behind forming a chain?

  • The article technically meets the DYK criteria but the lead is a bit wonky. I can't stick a problem tag on it as there's no issue per the DYK criteria as such as this meets the timeliness, size and citation requirements. The however seems to just be a list of the locations (and probable locations) for the shrew and doesn't summarise the other elements of the article. Also, the creator forgot to pipe Georgia the country, so it is currently listed as Georgia (country) in the lead. I'm going to stick a note on Cwmhiraeth's talk page to alert them to this.

You are quite right. The lead consisted of the unchanged whole of the original article before I expanded it and was very boring. I have improved it now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:35, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks! It looks good now. Miyagawa (talk) 16:23, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
