List of macropodiformes

 * Nominator(s):  Pres N  22:47, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Next stop our journey through the thousands of animal species in mammalia is number 25 in our series of animal list FLCs (10 lists for Carnivora, 4 for Artiodactyla, 3 lists for Lagomorpha, and 7 single-order lists). We're still in Australia for this one, but we break out of the single-order lists into the first of a trio for the order Diprotodontia, with a list for the suborder Macropodiformes—or to be more clear, for a list of kangaroos. It's not just kangaroos, of course: there's wallabies, bettongs, and potoroos, among others, but together they make up a big chunk of Australian non-carnivorous marsupials. We've got 72 species in 3 families here, plus another 8 extinct species—for now, anyways, as this list has the most endangered and critically endangered species of any list I've done yet. 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  22:47, 5 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Support – following a skim through the article, I see no major issues in the lead or table formatting, and I'm confident key issues have been fixed based on previous lists. RunningTiger123 (talk) 21:58, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Comments

 * There seems to be an issue with the map for the Eastern hare-wallaby entry
 * Suggest wikilinking forbs on first use as an obscure word (I for one certainly don't know what they are)
 * No map for the Crescent nail-tail wallaby or Nullarbor dwarf bettong?
 * That's it! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:49, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * - Fixed the map and added the link. Yes, no maps for those- I don't make the maps for these lists, just use what's there, and those two don't have maps created. -- Pres N  20:42, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Dank

 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * "Grizzled tree-kangaroo ... Eastern and northern New Guinea": Western?
 * File:Dendrolagus mbaiso.jpg: The license feels "off".
 * File:Macropus eugenii.jpg: I don't distrust the license, but "author" is blank.
 * 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 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. I haven't checked alt text on this one.
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Close enough for a support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 10:18, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Fixed the Grizzled tree-kangaroo and Macropus eugenii issues; removed the Dendrolagus mbaiso image- agreed that it seems off, and I can't find proof on the source page that it was licensed as public domain. -- Pres N  19:23, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Support from AK

 * I've done a minor ce.
 * "40 members to 500,000" sounds weird, maybe "40 to 500,000 mature/adult individuals" would be better.
 * Changed to individuals, but I'm trying to avoid "40 to 500,000" because it can be confused with "40 (thousand) to 500 thousand"


 * "species are categorized as endangered species" second species is redundant, should be cut
 * Done


 * "have been made extinct" maybe "have gone extinct" instead? It seems like you're trying to emphasize how the extinctions were due to human impacts, but the phrasing is weird. Also in body
 * That was intentional, yeah, they didn't just go extinct on their own, but changed back


 * Don't see any other issues. Haven't checked the sources, but the formatting is alright and they're all reliable. AryKun (talk) 08:57, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Done, replied inline. -- Pres N  12:33, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay then, it's a support from me since I can't see any other issues with the list. If you have the time, I would appreciate a review at my FLC. AryKun (talk) 12:52, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Source review – All of the references are reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool shows no issues. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 17:28, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
