Alright, back to animal lists! With this list (#30 in our series of animal FLCs) we start on the first of the four biggest mammal orders, the primates. This list is one of the six-ish subgroupings, the superfamily Lorisoidea, containing 35 species split between the loris family and the galago/bushbaby family, aka "small little nocturnal primates with giant eyes". As always, the list follows the pattern of the previous lists and reflects previous FLC comments. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 14:23, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Comments by SilverTiger
  • I'm surprised you didn't start Eulipotyphla before Primata, but good job starting the primates.
  • They are found in Asia and Africa, generally in forests, though some species can also be found in shrublands and savannas. The second half the sentence here reads a little wonky. Are the species found in shrublands and savannas also found in forests, or are some species shrubland- and savanna-dwellers while others live in forests? If the latter, I suggest rephrasing to They are found in Asia and Africa, generally in forests, though some species are found in shrublands and savannas.
  • It's both- some are forests + savannas, while some are just savannas. Dropped the "also".
  • Several extinct prehistoric Lorisoidea species have been discovered,... I'd suggest changing that to "extinct prehistoric lorisoid species".
  • Done.
  • The Classification section and the list itself are all fine. No further comments, save that the picture of the East African potto is a bit disconcerting. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 15:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • There's a typo in "Gum and sap, asd well as" against the Brown greater galago
  • That's it, and I echo SilverTiger's comment about the East African potto, which can apparently shoot lasers from its eyes :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:24, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dank edit

  • Updated to archive link.
  • I can't read (I'm guessing) Chinese, but I see a "CC" logo so I'll assume it's okay. - Dank (push to talk)
  • Updated.
  • File:Nycticebus menagensis.png: seems to be published in an open access journal. There's no specific tag saying that, but I'm not sure if one is needed.
  • Don't think one is needed.
  • "Philippines in southeastern Asia": the map is highlighting Borneo.
  • Updated to "Borneo and nearby islands" - it's technically not just Borneo, which is why I saud Philippines
  • Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
  • Checking the FLC criteria:
  • 1. I skimmed the prose; no problems found. There are no sortable columns. I sampled the links in the tables.
  • 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
  • 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
  • 3b. The list 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 are 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, except as noted above.
  • 6. It is stable. - Dank (push to talk) 14:11, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
AK
  • "40 individuals to 500,000 " → "40 to 500,000 mature individuals" or similar would be better
  • It's intentional so that it doesn't read like "40 (thousand) to 500,000"
    • I Still would like it to mention that population estimates only include mature individuals.
  • "divided between six" wouldn't the species be divided into genera?
  • English is weird and both are fine- you can divide something "between" two groupings.
  • Southern needle-clawed bushbaby seems to have an illustration available.
  • Added, thanks! I had dropped it because it looked like an off-color duplicate of the one for the Northern needle-clawed bushbaby, but looking again the artist just drew it like that, the face is slightly different
    • And looking at the caption now, I realize that it is actually of pallidus, so I've removed it. I did find a photo on iNat, so I've added that instead.
      • Thanks!
  • Makandé squirrel galago has a range map available.
  • Added, thanks! Looks like it was added to the article two days after I made the list, so I just missed it.
  • Source review – The reliability and formatting of the cites are both rock-solid, and the link-checker tool isn't showing any issues. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
