List of lagomorphs

 * Nominator(s):  Pres N  23:44, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Another animal list! This one is a capstone list, summarizing the genera of the two families in the mammal order Lagomorpha and sitting on top of list of leporids (FL) and list of ochotonids (FLC). In this, it follows the prior FLs for list of carnivorans (which was the capstone to the 9 sublists of Carnivora) and list of artiodactyls (which was the capstone to the 4 sublists of Artiodactyla) (and unlike list of perissodactyls, which was too small for sublists). Lagomorpha, aka "things that are like rabbits", has 73 species all over the world, though the two families look a little lopsided here since all of the ochotonids (pikas) are in a single genus and the rabbits are more spread out with 11. This should be the last capstone list for a while- after this it'll be mostly single-list orders, since most of the remaining larger orders are really gigantic. Thanks for reviewing! -- Pres N  23:44, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support - try as I might I couldn't find anything to quibble about :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:09, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Comments Support by Gerald Waldo Luis
Goood, why did you have to make me blush with the lead image ;-;

But anyways, comments:  Gerald WL  17:15, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "Members of this order are called lagomorphs. Lagomorpha currently comprises 107 extant species"-- kind of a weird repetition when read, "lagomorphs. Lagomorphia". "It" can be a good replacement for the latter, considering the previous sentence is "Members of this order are called lagomorphs."
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "the larger rabbit and hare group and smaller pika group"-- multiple use of "and"
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "11 cm (4 in) long"-- shouldn't this have hyphens? Like "11 cm (4 in)-long"? Most likely not, just wondering.
 * No, it shouldn't have one; there's some examples at WP:HYPHEN that show it, though it focuses on not doing e.g. "11-cm long" -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "The domestic rabbit subspecies of the European rabbit has been domesticated"-- I suggest a link to the last word, as having two words of "domestic" that are unrelated to each other is just weird.
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "Leporidae, containing the hares and rabbits"-- I suggest changing "containing" to "comprising" for consistency, and "containing" just sounds kinda off in context.
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Should "families" be linked?
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "The 73 extant species of Leporidae"-- extant duplicate link
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Link cottontail rabbits
 * Sylvagus (linked just prior) redirects there, since it's the common name for the genus (I prefer to link to the formal genus names when possible for consistency, since most genera don't have articles at their common name). -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I think you should digit-ize "thirty-three", "twenty-seven", and "thirty-four", considering you wrote 12 in digits; plus many people including me have trouble reading numbers above 20 in words.
 * Done, was trying to be consistent but I agree it's a pain. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * In the bullet lists, shouldn't each of the animals be linked?
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Additionally, within the conventions and classification sections, you might wanna link "genera", "extinct", "extant", "order", "Lagomorpha", and "families". The body is a whole different part of the article than the lead, so typically relinking is needed.
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "The following classification is based on the taxonomy described by Mammal Species of the World"-- perhaps a lil bit description of the work? Like "the book" or "the reference work" etc? Don't want readers to keep on tapping links.
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "Members of the Leporidae family"-- assuming my previous point on the linking is implemented, this link here must be removed as duplicate.
 * Done. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * In the table, the Oryctolagus image is also the same as the lead image. Isn't it a kind of repetition? I suggest changing another image for the table (not for the lead please I love that lead image so much)
 * Swapped the table image, hope you like the new one too. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Also for the Oryctolagus row: the map images have two colors but you only highlight one as relevant; is there a way the orange can be removed? Also I don't think it's pink, more like purple.
 * Oh, looks like someone made a new version of the image a couple weeks ago that changed the color. Mentioned what orange is for instead of removing it, I think it's notable that it's not native to most of its range -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I feel like this is a clearer picture for the Romerolagus, what do you think?
 * Agreed, changed. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "Annamite Range in Southeast Asia and Sumatra"-- but Sumatra is part of SEA, though (i should know i live here). That sentence also implied that the Annamite also comprises Sumatra but the article says "Laos, Vietnam, and a small area in northeast Cambodia".
 * Ah, yeah, that was worded badly. One species is in Sumatra, and the other in the Annamite mountains (in Laos and Cambodia, aka in SEA); reworded to "Sumatra and the Annamite Range in Laos and Vietnam" -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for the detailed review! Addressed all of your points, sorry for taking so long. -- Pres N  19:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks all good now, and that new Oryctolagus-- ajfvksjdbcdcs how can I not like it! But anyways, it seems like this article is all good now, so Imma support. Good stuff! :)  Gerald WL  02:14, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

reminder that since I wrote this list, one of you two has to evaluate it for promotion. -- Pres N  14:32, 12 April 2022 (UTC)


 * , not a full source review, but just noticed that there's several uses of pp. for single pages in the refs that should be corrected. AryKun (talk) 08:29, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, not sure how I missed all those. -- Pres N  12:38, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Comments by Z1720
I am still new to reviewing FLCs, so feedback and comments on my review are welcome. This review will focus on the lede, prose, and understandability.


 * "come in two main groupings of body plans," Recommend wikilinking body plans; as a non-biologist expert, I do not know what this means so the wikilink might help. Z1720 (talk) 16:05, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * In "Classification" is ref 1 verifying all the information in this section? If so, I recommend that ref 1 also be placed after "Modern molecular studies indicate that the 12 genera can be grouped into 2 families." to clarify that it is verifying the introduction sentences.

Those are my thoughts. Z1720 (talk) 16:05, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Both done, thanks! -- Pres N  02:09, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. My comments have been addressed. Z1720 (talk) 13:29, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
