List of dasyuromorphs

 * Nominator(s):  Pres N  23:01, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

We continue our journey through the thousands of animal species in mammalia with number 24 in our ongoing journey of animal list FLCs (10 lists for Carnivora, 4 for Artiodactyla, 3 lists for Lagomorpha, and 1 each for Perissodactyla, Cingulata, Didelphimorphia, Scandentia, Macroscelidea, and Afrosoricida). For this one we go to Australia with a single-order list for Dasyuromorphia, aka most of the carnivorous marsupials of that continent. Most of these 72 species are small insect-eaters, except for the two big ones: the Tasmanian devil, and the extinct thylacine, but all of them will eat pretty much any creatures they can get their mouths around. The science is up to date and the formatting reflects prior FLCs, so hopefully it should be all good to go. Thanks for reviewing! -- Pres N  23:01, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Comments

 * "while the thylacine ate larger mammals and livestock" - I would change this to "and the thylacine ate larger mammals and livestock"
 * No need to relink thylacine in the last para of the lead
 * Think that's it! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:30, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Both done, thanks! -- Pres N  18:36, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * Checking the FLC criteria:
 * 1. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. There are no sortable columns. I sampled the links in the table.
 * 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
 * 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
 * 3b. The list is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any actual problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
 * 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
 * 4. It is navigable.
 * 5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 18:06, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

 * My only comment is that the cladogram is also being pushed below the number of species list in the classification section, creating massive whitespace. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 16:45, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey, now it's doing the same for me (I use monobook), but only at zooms of 120% or higher. - Dank (push to talk) 16:51, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm using the Vector 2010 at regular width. There was a similar problem with List of afrosoricids, but not with List of macropodiformes, weirdly. SilverTiger12 (talk) 17:27, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Fixed, I think. -- Pres N  19:19, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Much better, thank you! Support. SilverTiger12 (talk) 19:23, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, I just noticed- the section headings for this list seem to be different from other orders i.e. List of carnivorans, where the order is the main header with the suborders as sub-headers, and then families as sub-sub-headers- shouldn't here also have the Dasyumorphs as the section header, with the families as subsections and subfamilies as sub-subsections? SilverTiger12 (talk) 19:33, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You are correct- the family headers should be one level down, below the existing Dasyuromorphs header. Now fixed. -- Pres N  20:13, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it works for me now at 120%. - Dank (push to talk) 19:58, 9 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Source review – All of the sources are reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool showed no issues. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:34, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
