List of lemur species

 * Nominator(s): Visionholder (talk) 16:29, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it is complete, given the latest academic literature, and because it meets the FLC requirements. I also plan to maintain the list. Visionholder (talk) 16:29, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment A couple of the images need alternative text per criterion 5b. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:37, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Alternative text has been added for all images. Thanks for pointing this out. –Visionholder (talk) 21:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment Great list! My only concern is that for all species, both the scientific and common names are linked, but the scientific name just redirects to the common name. Reywas92 Talk 03:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Excellent list. Reywas92 Talk  03:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case, I'll remove the link to the scientific name. I agree that it's a bit redundant. –Visionholder (talk) 04:42, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Redundant links have mostly been removed. I left them under Extinct species because I wasn't sure whether to link the family name or the common name.  In some cases, the common name and family name are different links, and in other cases, they are the same.  If there is a concensus on how to properly clean it up, I will gladly do so. –Visionholder (talk) 07:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * A day later, and I'm still not sure if or how to fix the redundant links in the box for extinct species. In some cases, the common name links to the same page as the scientific name.  In other cases, it links to the same page as the family name.  In yet other cases, it links to its own page.  Eventually, two or more scientific names may point to the same page if only a genus page is created due to insufficient information. If I were to take the "pick one and unlink the other" approach, the table would look a little spotty, and people without a lot of knowledge about subfossil lemurs and lemur classification might expect links that aren't there.  For those reasons, I have not made any changes to that table.  (Otherwise, all other tables have been fixed as requested.)  If a reviewer could offer a suggestion or simple give a thumbs-up, it would be much appreciated. –Visionholder (talk) 15:55, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
