IF you are interested … This looks like a very fine article, if I check it over would you be able to do the same. This could be the GAN worthy with just a little attention, at a glance, what do you think? cygnis insignis 15:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * yeah definitely! Shouldn't be too much work to get this nominated. I don't have a lot of free time in the next few days but should be able to put in a good amount of work over the weekend. Enwebb (talk) 16:38, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * , please, when it suits you to do so. It is a bit odd that it wasn't nominated, there is a lot of things that reviewers look for and they must have done their research into that too. Letting the primary contributor know seems polite, I will do that too. cygnis insignis 16:59, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I have been merely doing a copyedit, and may have made a couple of blunders, cheers for picking that up Enwebb. I am left aligning the text while building and checking, I hope that is okay, I can restore the ref columns and images as left align, now or when I am done, let me know if that is currently interfering with others contributing. cygnis insignis 07:31, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * apologies, the answer is above, it is just temporary. Also, do want you think with section headings. cygnis insignis 16:50, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * no worries! What about the section headings? Also, this is written in Australian English, right? I will try to be mindful of that as I write but obviously I don't know what I don't know so please correct any errors of spelling or usage :) Enwebb (talk) 16:57, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Please don't bother about AuEn, I will internationalise the language if I can; if I slip then please flag it for attention because I pride myself on being able to write in AmEn and some form of middle ground. I love it all, except perhaps american spelling, Webster was a wild-man! I inserted a couple of Au terms because there is no equivalent term for some things. "No worries", we really do say that a lot :) The phrase "too easy" was trending for while, meaning pretty much the same thing. AS for section headings, I tend to dump stuff and hope the sections emerge, which makes hard work for my collaborators. cygnis insignis 17:32, 12 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Re: left align, a reviewer may also mention MOS:IMAGELOCATION, and the 'sandwiching' effect. My preference is to use the default, for technical and accessibility reasons. cygnis insignis 06:37, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Not convinced this is the species described here, the tail seems to suggest another genus is what I can't look past. Capturing one would also have been exceptionally good luck, unless Bruce (the photographer) knew better I suppose it is something more common at the Mt Isa region. cygnis insignis 19:18, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Move to common name
Most, if not all, other living bat species are placed at the common name. The IUCN uses Hairy-nosed Freetail-bat, and we usually follow them. This one even has controversy over its generic name, so moving it to the common name would be even more of a win. It would also make a future FAC nomination smoother, as this issue doesn't have to be discussed again, which it inevitably will. Pinging and  for thoughts before I begin a formal move request.

 * , I think that's probably fine, though there are multiple common names for this species. The Australian government calls it the Free-tailed Bat. So is it hairy-nosed or bristled-faced? And then variation in whether it is a free-tailed bat or a freetail-bat.
 * "Bristle-faced Free-tailed Bat": 1,650 google results, 13 google scholar results
 * "Hairy-nosed Freetail Bat": 524 google results, 12 google scholar results
 * So perhaps bristle-faced is the more common name. Enwebb (talk) 22:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Oops, missed this answer for a year, ! I tried to Google it using quotation marks (such as "Bristle-faced Free-tailed Bat"), which then searches for only that sequence of words, and then "Hairy-nosed Freetail Bat" actually had slightly more hits... So I cna see why it would be difficult to choose. The IUCN uses Hairy-nosed Freetail Bat, for what it's worth. FunkMonk (talk) 11:07, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
