Photo?
This article fairly calls out for a picture of its subject. The text just doesn't do it justice. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:25, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Absolutely. It's an extremely endagered animal and the first thing people will see when searching for it is a latin name. If anyone has a copyright-free picture of it, please post it on the Commons and place it here. Double Plus Ungood (talk) 21:09, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

I concur with the above comments about the lack of a photo. I believe that this article should not have been promoted to featured article status, let alone accepted as a TFA candidate, without an accompanying image. There are terrific articles out there, with adequate images, that never get promoted because of people's nitpicking, or because of Wikipedia rules that I regard as arcane or arbitrary. Yet this incomplete article (and it may not be the fault of the editors that they could not obtain a photo, but that's no help to the reader) gets promoted and featured. There should be more consistent standards for Wiki articles than is currently the case, in my opinion. Dylanexpert (talk) 22:51, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The featured article criteria do include a requirement that the article must have images and other media "where appropriate". I don't recall ever seeing a FAC opposed because the article lacked images that in theory could be obtained, but it may have happened; it would be an interesting discussion.  Regardless, I don't think featured articles without pictures should be excluded from TFA.  That would amount to the TFA coordinators asserting that they know better than the FAC process.

Can we get pictures of it and is it a species or a living being
I want to see what Petter's Big Footed Mouse looks like. I also want to know if Petter's Big Footed Mouse is a species or an owned animal or just a wild animal 207.171.204.31 (talk) 17:38, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
