Talk:Tamias

As written, the article confused the genus and subgenera. It does not help that the genus and one subgenus have the same name....but that's how it is. The article previously started by saying that the genus contained a single living species and then went on to state that all living species were in that genus; both cannot be simultaniously true or at least a credible encyclopedia cannot present it in this way. The understandable confusion was easily addressed. I agree that there is room for the usual lumper/splitter disagreement, but the average reader seeking information on a widespread and common rodent needs clarity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19B:C601:4020:0:0:0:5BA1 (talk) 17:00, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
