Should be nominated and reviewed also as a feature list...Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information.

A-Class current rating.... Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points.(SriMesh | talk 02:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)).[reply]

How would tables instead of bulleted lsts work inside every order paragraph? Insted of having this:

• Suborder: Hystricomorpha
  • Family:
    Erethizontidae
    (New World porcupines)
    • Subfamily: Erethizontinae
      • Genus: Erethizon
        • North American Porcupine
          Erethizon dorsatum LR/lc
• Suborder: Sciurognathi
  • Family:
    Aplodontidae
    (mountain beaver)
    • Genus:
      Aplodontia
      • Mountain Beaver
        Aplodontia rufa LR/nt
  • Family: Castoridae (beavers)
    • Genus: Castor
      • American Beaver
        Castor canadensis LR/lc

• Seems like a nice idea. Not every column needs to be sortable.

  • This is not an option due to the presence of in-table headers that can't readily be eliminated. Circeus 23:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused as to what time period the "Extinct, extirpated or reintroduced species" section is covering. I assume that there were mammoths etc once upon a time.

Specifically since colonization. I can make it more explicit. Circeus 01:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"In written history" is fine, thanks.

Uh? There ARE links, which are automatically generated by the MediaWiki software, and they work just fine with me. What browser are you using? Circeus 01:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a link to Family Sciuridae: Squirrels in your TOC?

Kappa 23:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply

Sorry, sorry. I confused families and orders there. I don't think that's a good idea because it makes the TOC unmanageable (which is why I removed the links from List of mammals of Korea). See before and after. Circeus 01:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@BamBen2715: Humans were recently removed from the list. It seems to me accurate to include them. What is the reason for taking them out?  SchreiberBike | ⌨  01:56, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SchreiberBike: I have looked through many other "List of mammals of..." articles, and I found that, besides this one, very few seemed to include humans. Besides, I doubt many people will go to this article looking for humans specifically. I admit there were "a few" articles that had humans, so you can undo my edit if you think it is necessary. However, besides the fact that we're technically mammals, I don't see any real reason to have humans on the list.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BamBen2715 (talk • contribs) 03:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@BamBen2715: Just because humans are "mammals of Canada" makes me think they should be there. I think I will add it back, but I don't think I'll start adding humans to all the other lists. Thanks,  SchreiberBike | ⌨  04:21, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It feels a bit silly, but it's technically accurate. We would have to word our inclusion criteria in a strange way to exclude them. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:49, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I corrected a few uses of "Groenland" to "Greenland". If that's not correct, please fix or let me know. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨  05:59, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Groenland" is the French wording for "Greenland" Gimly24 (talk) 20:30, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
