Back with another mammal list, #42, and we turn the page to the 2nd-to-last order of mammals: Chiroptera, or bats! I took a break before starting this to adjust the scripts I use to generate the initial tables to make it easier on myself to deal with recent taxonomic revisions, and also went out and bought a 10-pound, 800-page reference book so that I can stop pawing through google books results. The result is bat family #1/20: the hipposiderids. This list follows conventions for the previous lists, with two changes: these bats all eat roughly the same things, so it's just listed in the lede instead of every single row; and I've added the arm/wing length, because it's relevant to flying creatures (and I had a consistent source!). In any case, thanks for reviewing! --PresN 15:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "A member of this family is called an hipposiderid" - is it really "an" hipposiderid? Not "a".....?
  • Maybe link "cicada"? Not sure this is a commonly understood word on a global level.....
  • That's all I got - awesome work as ever! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "mammal order Chiroptera" should be "mammalian order"
  • "Chiroptera, and part" Comma unnecessary.
  • "microbat suborder grouping" Doesn't make sense, should be either "microbat suborder Microchiroptera" or just "microbat suborder".
  • "hipposiderid, or an" Comma unnecessary.
  • "They are named for the shape of their nose-leaf." Saying they're called leaf-nosed because of the shape of their nose-leaf seems weird, maybe "for their elongated, leaf-shaped nose"?
  • "the Hipposideros genus of roundleaf bats" Reads weirdly to me.
  • "Anthops, or the flower-faced bat;" Why the duplink?
  • I'm not sure that mentioing the common names after the genera is necessary, the names aren't unique to each genus and don't seem to form monophyletic groups.
  • Everything else seems fine.
  • Nice work overall; wish Enwebb was still active, I bet she'd be happy to see the bat lists finally getting some love. AryKun (talk) 20:20, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @AryKun: All done, thanks. She actually pointed me towards the source that I'm mainly drawing on for sizes earlier this summer, so hopefully she's seen them (and if not, I just posted on her talk page!) --PresN 22:32, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey @AryKun, just following up to see if all of your concerns have been addressed. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey man im josh, yeah, I'm comfortable supporting on prose. AryKun (talk) 17:43, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image review – I checked a sampling of images, including the lead photo, and everything I reviewed had proper licensing, captions and alt text, and maps had appropriate sourcing. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:44, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
