Big-headed Mole Rat → Tachyoryctes macrocephalus — As the page makes clear, there are a large number of common names for this species (though the list is probably not complete). At least one of the names is shared with another species (Giant Mole Rat), and MSW3 and the IUCN use very different names. The most commonly used unambiguous name in the literature is the scientific name, so I suggest a move to this name. See WT:MAMMAL for a recent discussion of the matter. Note: I prefer "Giant Root-rat", but this name is not in common use. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 20:33, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
