List of lorisoids

 * Nominator(s):  Pres N  14:23, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Alright, back to animal lists! With this list (#30 in our series of animal FLCs) we start on the first of the four biggest mammal orders, the primates. This list is one of the six-ish subgroupings, the superfamily Lorisoidea, containing 35 species split between the loris family and the galago/bushbaby family, aka "small little nocturnal primates with giant eyes". As always, the list follows the pattern of the previous lists and reflects previous FLC comments. Thanks for reviewing! -- Pres N  14:23, 24 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Comments by SilverTiger:
 * I'm surprised you didn't start Eulipotyphla before Primata, but good job starting the primates.
 * They are found in Asia and Africa, generally in forests, though some species can also be found in shrublands and savannas. The second half the sentence here reads a little wonky. Are the species found in shrublands and savannas also found in forests, or are some species shrubland- and savanna-dwellers while others live in forests? If the latter, I suggest rephrasing to They are found in Asia and Africa, generally in forests, though some species are found in shrublands and savannas.
 * It's both- some are forests + savannas, while some are just savannas. Dropped the "also".


 * Several extinct prehistoric Lorisoidea species have been discovered,... I'd suggest changing that to "extinct prehistoric lorisoid species".
 * Done.


 * The Classification section and the list itself are all fine. No further comments, save that the picture of the East African potto is a bit disconcerting. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 15:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Done! -- Pres N  16:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Support, and good luck. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 18:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * There's a typo in "Gum and sap, asd well as" against the Brown greater galago
 * That's it, and I echo SilverTiger's comment about the East African potto, which can apparently shoot lasers from its eyes :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:24, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks! -- Pres N  13:24, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Dank

 * File:Galago senegalensis.jpg: The link to the source is broken for me, and I can't verify the license.
 * Updated to archive link.
 * I can't read (I'm guessing) Chinese, but I see a "CC" logo so I'll assume it's okay. - Dank (push to talk)


 * File:Galago alleni.jpg: the PD-Art template may need a license parameter. FWIW, the book containing the image was published in 1894.
 * Updated.


 * File:Nycticebus menagensis.png: seems to be published in an open access journal. There's no specific tag saying that, but I'm not sure if one is needed.
 * Don't think one is needed.


 * "Philippines in southeastern Asia": the map is highlighting Borneo.
 * Updated to "Borneo and nearby islands" - it's technically not just Borneo, which is why I saud Philippines


 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * Checking the FLC criteria:
 * 1. I skimmed the prose; no problems found. There are no sortable columns. I sampled the links in the tables.
 * 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, except as noted above.
 * 6. It is stable. - Dank (push to talk) 14:11, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Responded inline, thanks! -- Pres N  00:15, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. - Dank (push to talk) 00:48, 1 August 2023 (UTC)


 * AK
 * "40 individuals to 500,000 " → "40 to 500,000 mature individuals" or similar would be better
 * It's intentional so that it doesn't read like "40 (thousand) to 500,000"
 * I Still would like it to mention that population estimates only include mature individuals.
 * Done. -- Pres N  17:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC)


 * "divided between six" wouldn't the species be divided into genera?
 * English is weird and both are fine- you can divide something "between" two groupings.


 * Southern needle-clawed bushbaby seems to have an illustration available.
 * Added, thanks! I had dropped it because it looked like an off-color duplicate of the one for the Northern needle-clawed bushbaby, but looking again the artist just drew it like that, the face is slightly different
 * And looking at the caption now, I realize that it is actually of pallidus, so I've removed it. I did find a photo on iNat, so I've added that instead.
 * Thanks!


 * Makandé squirrel galago has a range map available.
 * Added, thanks! Looks like it was added to the article two days after I made the list, so I just missed it.

 * Source review – The reliability and formatting of the cites are both rock-solid, and the link-checker tool isn't showing any issues. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
