Texas antelope squirrel
[edit]- ... that despite normally being grey, brown and white, one Texas antelope squirrel found in 1905 was tinted purple?

5x expanded by Miyagawa (talk). Self nom at 17:36, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- ~1800 chars, about 12x expansion
- Cites inline to reputable-looking sources
- Hook is brief, verified, and interesting (how many purple squirrels are there?)
- Apologies for not getting back here sooner.
- Article given light copyedit
- Source agree with article content
- I see no copyvio, though the one PDF is not OCR'd, so is inconvenient to fully search
- Suggestions:
- Can you merge the two IUCN refs, since they are identical pages?
- Not necessary to passing, but a distribution map would be nice.

- I've merged the two IUCN refs (in fact I hadn't realised that there was a separate citation template for them). I've never created a distribution map before, I thought it might have just been a case of drawing it onto a map but it seems that its a fair bit more complicated than that.

- I'm not sure if there is any specific place to ask about distribution maps, though, for example, the map for Harris's antelope squirrel was made by user:rbrausse. You may want to ask him/her how they made it. Anyway, this passes for dyk.
