Semi-protected edit request on 18 February 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Grizzly bear. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I suggest removing the subspecies “U. a. nelsoni” from the list of possibly synonymous subspecies. I believe it has been formally synonymized already. The Wikipedia page for the Mexican Grizzly Bear also says it is a population of U. a. horribilis. 2603:8080:8A00:41C:3962:CE32:90DE:B93E (talk) 04:57, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
