itself. If you have a problem here, you'll have a problem with countless mushroom, bird, and primate FAs. They all do the same thing. As for the etymology, a detailed breakdown of each part of the scientific name is standard. They do it on Wikictionary, too. It also helps to explain (as best as the sources can) as to why the authority named it a "false potto". Also, I'm not sure what's up with Complainer's tone. If he read the article, he obviously knows we're not talking about

I followed the wikilink (something anybody without severe arthritis can easily do), and I now know. This is not a paper encyclopedia but, most of all, it is not a collection of essays: the articles are not self-contained entities, and the explanation of everything is a click away. People have to get used to this; not

To address the first point, the descriptive text was (and still is?) a requirement to get anything technical passed at FAC. At first I opposed it, preferring wikilinks... but we work by consensus, and the editors who did the reviews for this and many other articles required more details in the text

Then there is the matter of etymology. Yes, every scientific name is in Latin (which makes it quite silly to say anything "comes from Latin": it never left Latin to go anywhere else), and scientists have to pull something out of their arse every time they name a new species. However, people reading

The link to "Oates et al. 2008" doesn't work, and probably won't unless we start adding that feature to the various IUCN Red List ref templates. Personally, I just put news and web refs in the References section, then use notes for journals and books. It's up to you how you want to do it,

The false potto generally resembles a small potto, but according to Schwartz it differs in having a longer tail, shorter spines on its neck and chest vertebrae, a smaller, less complex spine on the second neck vertebra, an
