Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary

[edit]
Grizzled Giant Squirrel
Grizzled Giant Squirrel

5x expanded by Nvvchar (talk). Self-nominated at 08:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC).

  • Note: Tweaked the original blurb for grammar corrections. QPQ and 5x expansion (6.7x prose text expansion) verified. Image is free (taken and uploaded by Chinmayisk).

    Given blurb conflicts with our article on the Grizzled Giant Squirrel. Listed source does indeed state that the grizzled giant squirrel is "highly endangered" but the IUCN Red List places it under "near threatened". The article's prose state's that the squirrel is under this status only within Karnataka, however. The blurb should either reflect the localized nature of this classification, or (in my opinion) a different blurb should be chosen to avoid potentially confusing/conflicting information. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 22:33, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

  • Tweaked to remove the "only" bit (you'd have to look up specifics on other places to verify "only") and added India to give readers better context, alt blurb is a bit much and takes away focus on the target article so first hook is good to go. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 03:31, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
