original nomination

This was originally nominated back in May/June. I've since spent most of my summer reformatting it to something close to List of mammals of Korea, and think the list can now withstand the featured process scrutiny. Circeus 19:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment List of mammals of Korea is redirected to List of mammals in Korea while List of mammals in Canada is redirected to List of mammals of Canada. Consistency would be nice. The list itself looks great. I am just very uncomfortable with the Status column. I don't see any need for it to be small.--Crzy cheetah 20:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The original consensus was for it to be at "of" (although most other lists have not been moved yet, eesh). It was moved back on August 16 for no clear reason. Circeus 22:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support looks good. GreenJoe 05:44, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I found several typos on a quick scan of part of the article. Also the habitat and range columns appear under linked. Why is capybara mentioned - as they don't live in Canada? Rmhermen 13:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I kept the material at the top of each section from the original. It's just generic intro stuff about the order; capybaras are mentioned because they are the overall largest rodent, not because they are the largest in Canada (that would be the coypu, IIRC).

Comment What do the one- and two-letter abbreviations under status stand for? ludahai 魯大海 11:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. This seems comparable in quality to List of mammals of Korea. Except the latter has more cites for things like range, but only applied haphazardly in that article, so I'll forgive their absence here. By the way, I've fixed a couple of typos.--Pharos 03:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This is great. I wish there could be a 'Wikiproject Animal Lists' to convert every list of fauna by country to a similar format to this one..mike40033 03:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
