42: 257:"It was not until the 1970s that Karl Koopman and Guy Musser recognized that the animal—whose skin had landed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, while the skull was at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris—recognized that the animal" Repetition of the phrase "recognized that the animal"- is that deliberate? 416:
I (of course) included all I could find. There are a few more books that I don't have right now that may have more information, but at the end of the day this is another poorly known species.
47: 413:
More on its diet/habits generally would be needed, I think. I note you've added a line about diet now, it occurred to me last night after I'd gone that you didn't mention anything.
329:
Why does the second paragraph of "distribution and ecology" refer to the species, where as most of the article refers to the genus? (I note the conservation section also does this)
340:
Of the genus, to be precise. The species probably has no true common name, though I'm sure someone produced "Taiva Shrew Tenrec" or something like that. I've clarified a little.
382:
Yes, I'll make one myself or ask Visionholder. I think the IUCN map is missing the northernmost distribution segment, at Tsaratanana, where it was only recorded in 2008.
80: 371:
Ok, looking back through, everything looks ready for GA status (apart from the quick replies above). Some things to think about if you're thinking about FAC-
345:
Your citation style still looks a little odd to me, but that's fine. I'll do a few more checks of various things tomorrow, but it's generally looking great.
70: 52: 126: 122: 107: 402: 187:'s tail—a piece of fluffiness at the tip. Goodman and Carleton (1996) appeared to be making a distinction between the "tuft" in 75: 164: 99: 17: 393:
A picture of the species would obviously be good, but I couldn't find a single one online, let alone a free one.
405:
book with a bit of Googling- seems an obscure subject, but maybe it's one you'd be able to get hold of somehow?
421:
The article title is the genus, but it opens with the species name. This just seems a little odd to me.
376: 459: 445: 350: 314: 300: 231: 217: 150: 184: 289: 170:
Both are fairly useless in my opinion, but yes, they do apply. Also added the Madagascar cat.
115: 429: 383: 360: 241: 204: 159:
Ok, I doubt I'll get through a whole review before heading to bed, but I'll have a look.
463: 449: 432: 386: 363: 354: 318: 304: 244: 235: 221: 207: 154: 455: 441: 425: 346: 310: 296: 227: 213: 146: 195: 92: 396:
There are some—try Goodman and Carleton (1996). But of course, those are not free.
424:
That's what I usually do for monotypic living genera—though I notice Sasata
454:
After a final peep, I'm now happy to promote this to GA status. Well done!
337:"shrew-tenrecs" Is this the common name of the species? I don't follow. 332:
They are the same; any variation is merely for the purpose of variation.
163:
I added a couple of categories; I assume there's no issue? There's also
189: 265:
Could the common names perhaps get a mention in the lead?
134: 103: 440:
As I say, these thoughts are for pushing towards FA.
408:That's a compilation of German Knowledge articles. 173:I can understand that, but I do like categories :) 180:"The long tail lacks a pencil" What's a pencil? 295:I'd have no objection if process was linked. 285:"many indentations and processes" Processes? 240:Thought I had removed it there... I'm sorry. 8: 199:, but other sources also speak of a tuft in 30: 61: 33: 203:, so I'll just eliminate the pencil. 7: 288:Are "protuberances" any better? Cf. 273:"There are no crests and ridges on" 309:And yeah, protuberances is better. 212:You also use the term in the lead. 24: 375:A range map would be nice. See 226:I've removed it from the lead. 165:Category:Mammals of Madagascar 1: 18:Talk:Malagasy mountain mouse 464:13:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 450:12:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 433:13:35, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 387:13:35, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 364:08:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 355:02:58, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 319:13:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 305:12:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 245:13:35, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 236:13:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 222:12:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 208:08:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 155:02:36, 2 January 2011 (UTC) 479: 428:.
