Talk:Mouse lemur

Fair use rationale for Image:Microcebus lehilahytsara -large.jpg
Image:Microcebus lehilahytsara -large.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Introduction Contradiction
In the second graf of the introduction, we are told: 'Lemurs and mouse lemurs were announced by the IUCN as the most endangered of all vertebrates.' Yet in the sixth paragraph, we read, 'They are among the smallest and most rapidly developing primates and are becoming more abundant in Madagascar and around the world.' How could mouse lemurs be 'the most endangered vertebrates' while also 'becoming more abundant in Madagascar and around the world'? Does the writer mean that mouse lemurs evolve new species at a higher rate than other vertebrates? Yet that doesn't make sense either, as mouse lemurs are only native to Madagascar. Does the writer mean that captive breeding programs are increasing mouse lemur numbers rapidly? I think it's clear that some rewriting needs to be done. RobotBoy66 (talk) 21:33, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
