Comments by Dunkleosteus77

remove the refs from the lead

No idea who added them. Removed

countries are not supposed to be wikilinked

Done

expand IUCN on first use

Done

ref no. 10 has an ISSN: 1537-1719

I prefer not to use ISSNs, there may be ISSNs for other refs as well so better be consistent in not using them.

It might be better to use imperial units and have metric units in parentheses since this article is written in American English

I don't have experience with American English articles, so I looked up the FA Cougar. It seems to stick to metric units.

I'll ask the teahouse User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:27, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Euphractinae is wikilinked three times

Ears

Are the ears as long as the article says? That seems a bit unbelievable, perhaps there was a problem with the units...

Yes, you're absolutely right. I found the source at this archived link and it says millimeters not centimeters. I have fixed the description accordingly. --Pithon314 (talk) 16:42, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
