Aiming to improve the article edit
Let's talk about what to add, fix or improve about this page. 20 upper (talk) 23:19, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
You should ensure whatever you have here is in alignment with what's at Megafauna. For instance, that the category isn't locked at being 1000kg and larger, but rather a lower weight of as low as 46 kg. Keep consistencies like this in mind as you gather your information and do your writing. Also, that article is a great source of reference material as well. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:59, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
- This draft is in perfect alignment with the article Megafauna. In that article they said an animal that is 46 kg or more is considered to be a Megafauna not a Megaherbivore. Megaherbivores are a very large type of Megafauna and the largest herbivores on Earth. 20 upper (talk) 04:08, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
Page numbers edit
20 upper thanks for the page numbers here. But a problem/question:
Owen-Smith is cited 6 times in the article:
- a b c d e f Owen-Smith, R. Norman (1988). Megaherbivores: The Influence of Very Large Body Size on Ecology. Cambridge University Press. p. 1. ISBN 978-0-521-42637-4.
Ray is cited 3 times in the article:
- a b c Ray, Justina; Redford, Kent H.; Steneck, Robert; Berger, Joel (2013-04-09). Large Carnivores and the Conservation of Biodiversity. Island Press. p. 87. ISBN 978-1-59726-609-3.
When you are citing books, or multiple page numbers in a journal article, using cite templates can be cumbersome. Are all six instances of Owen-Smith found on page 1, and are all three instances of Ray found on page 87? If the page numbers are different on each instance cited, you can use instead the {{rp}} template to specify page numbers, or you can switch to the sfn method of citing (see for example Palladian architecture for sfns in action).

- PS, at this stage, my recommendation would be to use the rp template, as learning sfn might be more than you want to take on right now. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:27, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- 20 upper now you're cooking with gas on page numbers. I did not flag them all, but I see you have the gist now; there are more. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:59, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
