 * Overall, looks like mainly minor grammar things, but why is the wikicode like that I have to ask?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming you mean the single line breaks? I generally write articles like that better because I find it easier to organize and read. There isn't a policy about it, and it doesn't affect how the text is displayed to the reader.
 * Okay, just wondering  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 20:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)


 * You should probably mention how big it is in the lead and if by big you mean by wingspan or by weight or etc.  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Because when I read, "It is the largest bat species in the New World," then I wanna know how big that is  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 20:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * done


 * I see Vespertilio has an article, do you wanna wikilink it and say that the genus at the time was classified as a primate?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * done.


 * The species name thing doesn't have a ref  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Who's Goodwin?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * George Gilbert Goodwin. Doesn't have an article. I could (1) remove his name entirely&mdash;"The genus and species names were not used in their current combination until 1942." or (2) add more information&mdash;"The genus and species names were not used in their current combination until Goodwin did so in his 1942 publication, "Mammals of Honduras."
 * Or say "...biologist George Gilbert Goodwin..."  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 20:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * done


 * The whole dorsoventral proximodistal thing I try to shy from because those are unnecessarily big words when you can just say top, underside, front-half, back-half  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * done


 * What does, "The last upper molars are reduced to two cusps," mean?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Many mammals have tribosphenic molars, molars with three cusps. Basically, most of its molars are the "normal" tribosphenic design while the last upper molars are smaller with only two cusps. I hyperlinked to vestigiality|reduced, but let me know if I can make that clearer in-text.
 * Yeah the link to vestigial just confused me, maybe try, "...as opposed to three in most mammals," or something  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 20:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * done


 * What are the leaf-nosed bats?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I added leaf-nosed bat to the lede with a hyperlink. I also hyperlinked the firs occurrence in the article. Leaf-nosed bat is the common name for bats in the family Phyllostomidae.


 * I don't understand why you separated Taxonomy from Evolution, they seem to go hand-in-hand  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * merged & restructured


 * You might wanna use common names instead of taxonomic names (and put the taxonomic name in parentheses on first mention). Also, the first time you mention a species, put its taxonomic name in parentheses next to it  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Which instances of taxonomic names do you think should be replaced?
 * Like you say Trachops instead of "fringe-lipped bat"  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 20:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * done


 * For references in other languages, you need the parameters |language= and |trans-title=  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * done


 * Do you know what the bite force is? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;background:#E6E6FA;border:solid 1px;border-radius:7px;box-shadow:darkblue 0px 3px 3px;"> User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * added


 * Why is, " 'thought to be ghosts,' " in quotes? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;background:#E6E6FA;border:solid 1px;border-radius:7px;box-shadow:darkblue 0px 3px 3px;"> User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * removed


 * Why'd you give the Spanish translation of endangered? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;background:#E6E6FA;border:solid 1px;border-radius:7px;box-shadow:darkblue 0px 3px 3px;"> User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 22:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * removed


 * I don't think Animal Diversity Web is considered a reliable source <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;background:#E6E6FA;border:solid 1px;border-radius:7px;box-shadow:darkblue 0px 3px 3px;"> User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 20:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * They were a holdover from before I started editing. I have removed most of them (and am fine removing the rest), but can you find the policy that says ADW is a non-RS? I can't locate it (though I did notice that the taxonbar links to ADW).
 * I haven’t seen a policy, it’s just every time I have an article with ADW, the reviewer says it’s not reliable, which I’ve never really understood since it’s written by university students and reviewed by professors <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;background:#E6E6FA;border:solid 1px;border-radius:7px;box-shadow:darkblue 0px 3px 3px;"> User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 15:25, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * removed the last of them anyway

 * Just went through all the refs and added a URL to them if a free source was available or added doi-access=free if doi led to open-access ref.
