Semi protected?
Can please be stated crearly why this page is semi-protected? It has really been subject to vandalism? Anyway, i really hope that someone with "clearance" can improve this page and i'd suggest the IUCN Red List as a reliable source of informations. I believe Wikipedia should expand its coverage on extinct animals.

 * Unfortunately, yes. If you take a look at the edit history you'll see that it was vandalised on a daily basis. You can make edit requests here until your account is autoconfirmed and you can edit it yourself though. What exactly would you like added to the article?

-- First of all, many thanks for the quick answer Samwalton9! I glanced at the edit history of the page ad still can't believe that this pretty innocent natural history page should be targeted by valdalism at this level. I'm currently helping my nephew, which is in 4th grade, to do a school research on extincted animals and relied on Wikipedia to show him how get basic information on a subject and then eventually extend the research. It occured to me that this page and some others concerning extinct animals were a bit lacking in informations. Concerning this page, i know that we haven't many details about the Bulldog Rat behaviour,but some authors of the XIX century provides additional information on diet and habitat of this small mammal. Furthermore, since the final stages of the extinction of the Bulldog rat are also recorded i felt that a bit of additional details should be provided, being this an exemplar case of quick and unintentional destruction of an endemic population. --Spooky91088 (talk) 16:40, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The vandalism is in reference to a Dota 2 player named Admiral Bulldog who is often seen to play in a way which has taken the nickname of 'rat dota'. Thus this article is a prime target for vandalism related to that. Those all sound like good, valid additions to the article so thanks for your interest in adding to it! Do you have this information and writing available to you (either online or off) to cite as a reference? Samwalton9 (talk) 17:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
