172:
from Central America, Colombia, and Ecuador characterized by extremely long whiskers. The article covers the rat's complex taxonomic history, unremarkable anatomy (apart from the whiskers, that is, which are apparently unique), and poorly known ecology. I believe it covers all available information
206:
Clarification requested on the numbers appearing at the ends of some of the "Literature cited" lines. It is not clear, for instance, what 29(4):511–514 means. Perhaps Volume 29 No. 4 pp. 511–514, but if so, this needs to be stated.
117: 355:
You seem to be successfully applying recommendations for improvements from past FACs, and this makes it difficult for me to find stuff to nitpick about! Here is my measly list of suggestions.
392:"Ronald Pine reviewed Oryzomys bombycinus in 1971, when 59 specimens of it were known, and gave the first records from Nicaragua and Ecuador." verb "gave" sounds odd to me, maybe "reported"? 242:
Gómez-Laverde et al: what is the purpose of the bare link? In the same line we have "In IUCN. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species." Is the repetition necessary?
210:
It means what you inferred, but I don't think that needs to be stated; this is a standard way to format this information, at least in the field I'm working in.
88: 83: 92: 40: 75: 30: 17: 587: 577: 559: 535: 520: 493: 479: 469: 374: 364: 332: 322: 301: 292: 266: 257: 231: 222: 194: 177: 160: 133: 396:
I didn't use that because I used it for the Honduran record a few sentences further down. Now changed to "first recorded the species".
245:
The second link gives the reader an opportunity to go directly to the front page of the work to see what the "IUCN Red List" is.
138: 213:
Not all the numbers are formatted the same way, nor will all your readers be familiar with your convention. Why not clarify?
79: 341:- I tried, without success, to find any literature that was "missing" from the article. Another high-quality effort. 280:
Why? Normally when I cite to "p. 1, table 5" or similar, I mean that both p. 1 and table 5 support the information.
227:
I got rid of the parentheses on this one, where they were unnecessary, and clarified it in another where they are.
505:- A wonderful read and a spectacular article - from DYK to FAC in less than a week? That's pretty fantastic. :) 277:
I notice that a couple of citations are to "figure 1" and "table 5" respectively. Could page numbers be added?
71: 64: 573: 318: 288: 253: 218: 173:
and the article has been improved by Jimfbleak's helpful GA review. Any comments and reviews are welcome.
489: 465: 545:
You are getting these rats down to a fine art. I've been through twice, nothing I have concerns about
554: 513: 565:
Same weird extra white space above the table in "Description" that you fixed in a previous FA.
297:
It would be, but in this case there is a comma in between ("p. 1, table 5" vs. "p. 1 table 5").
566: 458:
This may have already been discussed, but can't a picture of the actual animal be taken/found.
314: 284: 249: 214: 53: 584: 532: 485: 476: 461: 371: 360: 346: 329: 298: 283:
Odd logic; to me, p.1 table 5 can only mean table 5 on page 1. Saves hunting for the table.
263: 228: 190: 174: 157: 475:
There are a few, but all are copyrighted (in Musser et al. 1998; Tirira 2007; Reid 2009).
547: 507: 109: 356: 342: 186: 169: 527: 248:
OK, but why not "IUCN Red List..." rather than "IUCN. IUCN Red List...?
402:
although all image captions have fullstops, I don't think any need them
382:
synonym should be linked on its first use in the 1st para of taxonomy
39:
Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in
412:
suggest swapping gracile (cool, but uncommon word) for slender

Otherwise, all sources look good, no further issues.
