Here's another animal list! Having made lists for the order Carnivora (carnivorans/felids/canids/mustelids/procyonids/ursids/mephitids/viverrids/herpestids/pinnipeds), aka "meat-eaters", and Artiodactyla (artiodactyls/cervids/suines/bovids), aka "hooved animals that aren't horses", we now move on to the order Perissodactyla, aka "hooved animals that are horses (and tapirs, and rhinos)". Which... is a much smaller order: Artiodactyla has ~350 extant animals, and Carnivora ~300, but Perissodactyla only has 18. As a result, instead of having lists for each of the three Families (horses, tapirs, and rhinos) plus a capstone list of genera like for the previous two orders, here we just have one list of species, which follows the pattern of prior "species" FLs. It also means that, even combined, it's still shorter than most of the Family lists. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 22:01, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • My only comment is on the lead, only the last sentence of which has a specific citation. Is the rest sourced to the sources listed at the bottom? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:07, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ChrisTheDude: Yes, the rest is a summary of the (cited) stuff in the tables; that last sentence is the only thing unique to the lead so it got a cite. --PresN 13:18, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from AryKun edit

  • "List of odd-toed ungulates" should probably be created as a redirect to here.
  • Link "vestigial" and "posteriorly"
  • "the Rhinocerotidae and Tapiridae families" → "the families Rhinocerotidae and Tapiridae"
  • "the Equidae family" → " The family Equidae"
  • Those are all the comments I have, otherwise excellent work. AryKun (talk) 05:15, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@AryKun: All done, thanks! --PresN 15:17, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I came up with two very minor points on a last read through. Maybe "posteriorly" could be replaced with "backwards" to make more understandable to a general audience, and "biomes" could be linked? AryKun (talk) 15:25, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@AryKun: Done. --PresN 16:55, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other reviews edit

Comments from Dank

  • Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
  • I don't think there's any problem here with overlapping material from Odd-toed ungulate.
  • Checking the FLC criteria:
  • 1. The prose is good. The (made-to-order) table coding seems fine. 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 article 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.
  • 6. It is stable.
  • Support. - Dank (push to talk) 01:50, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Source review – The reliability and formatting of the references both look strong throughout, and the links are all in working order. Everything looks like a pass. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:16, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image review — Pass edit

Did not check any maps. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 18:26, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kavyansh.Singh: Added alt text and replaced that image, I'm suspicious of it as well. --PresN 20:01, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good! Pass. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 20:30, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
