Talk:Oryzomys albiventer

Extra colons
I'm not able to look this up right now, but I think there are some extra colons in the synonym section of the taxobox. Some of those are clearly the actual authorities and not sources of name combinations. --Aranae (talk) 20:39, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Quite right, don't know why I missed that. Thanks for the note. Ucucha 20:41, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Distribution
I realize the dist. map is of Western Mexico, but it's a little hard to tell what's what (a little too zoomed in perhaps). And also, does the range extend further south (seems cut off)?--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 03:38, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * As the caption indicates, the red piece is not the range of albiventer, but of a different species (Oryzomys couesi). It might indeed be better to have a context map indicating where this map is—I'll try to do that. Ucucha 03:45, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * That's all I'm asking for friend, is that you try. :-)--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 19:30, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * So...are you just waiting me out or something? (:-0 NYMFan69-86 (talk) 23:53, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Common name?
Does this species have a common name at all?--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 17:15, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * See the last sentence of "Taxonomy". These "common" names were last used in 1918, though. Ucucha 17:26, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. I was just wondering because the scientific name gets a little repetitive throughout the article.--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 18:56, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I can hardly believe that for such a short article. :) However, I don't think we should resurrect decades-old common names, and "white-bellied rice rat" is particularly inappropriate since its belly is actually gray. Ucucha 20:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh...absolutely not. Now that I read over the article, the scientific name isn't so repetitive as is the sea of italics.  :-) NYMFan69-86 (talk) 01:21, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
