374:'Distribution and habitat' is rather choppy, with a lot of short paragraphs, several of just one sentence, all beginning "In ABC, ...". Perhaps you could merge some of these paragraphs, reword a bit, or better format them as a table rather than as rather repetitive text. We could have columns for Country, recent sightings (refs), historic sightings (refs). Or perhaps the text could be reorganised to have a subsection on temperature range (first paragraph, mainly), a subsection on altitudinal range (merged from countries), and a subsection on geographic range (with a paragraph summary and then the table (as little text as possible). How does that sound? I think it'd not be difficult.

Still hard to see the justification for that: one moor, one mountain makes sense but 3 mountains? In terms of habitat that's just two habitats. I'd suggest the captions be written to show how the images are relevant to the section (actually that's always a good practice), so you might say something

I'll tackle images once I finalised grouping the last 5 remaining paragraphs. Do you have a preference regarding placement of the one about
Afghanistan ? This would either fit *before* the paragraph on Central Asia, as the Hindu Kush ranges into Tajikistan. It would equally fit before the one about

All these 'news' were formerly part of the section 'In captivity'. I deleted some old ones from the early 2010s and shifted the remaining ones because I think that it's not the purpose of this section to list all the kittens born in zoos. Since 60 zoos keep PCs, you can imagine that lots of kittens
486:
We don't need four similar images of adult cats in zoos: the one in the infobox is sufficient for adult, and the kitten image is fine for the
Reproduction section. I suggest you remove the other three really, they're basically either decorative or just instances of people putting their photos into

If this page was about an *individual* cat owned or kept by one particular person named Pallas, then I would agree that the definite article is NOT needed, even superfluous! An example for such an individual is *Dali's ocelot*. But since this is the name of a species, just like e.g. leopard cat or
350:
On the categories, "Felids of Asia" seems to be sufficient; all the country categories like "Fauna of
Armenia" and "Mammals of Mongolia" are rather fussy: if the cat occurs in one corner of a country, is it not misleading to list it in this way? And each country has thousands of animals on its

Thanks for reviewing this, Chiswick Chap !!! Well I thought too, that it's time to promote the page on this amazing cat. But 9 years ago, the info and published resources were of course quite scarce compared to now. I look forward to what you think is still missing or needs to be addressed. --
510:
It's not appropriate to list seven images of (not terribly dissimilar) habitats. Perhaps one or two would be all right, with captions to convey the message "Pallas's cat can live in high mountains (Alborz image) or moorland (Khustain Nuruu image)". The others are

In 'Characteristics', I added the 1st one as it shows the PCs long fur that I described in this section, and 2nd one as it shows the facial markings and low set ears. But I agree to remove the one in section 'In captivity': yes, this is plain decorative. --
170:
Well, first let me say I'm pleased to see that after editing this article for 9 years, you're finally happy to see it at GAN. And indeed it reads like a mature article, and is fully-cited, so not much will be needed to complete its passage to GA status.

like "Pallas's cat can live in high wild moorland, such as here at

Same for the list of four prey species as images, with no Pallas's cat in sight: if we had images of prey being caught or eaten, that'd be another matter. I'm afraid they're basically decorative, contrary to

I decided against the table, partly because historical evidence is scarce and patchy across a laaarge region, e.g. 0 from the western to eastern

A small question: why say "The Pallas's cat"? I'd have thought "Pallas's cat" sufficient, and indeed the article quite often drops the "the" (definite article). It'll read better without.
