Korean names[edit]

Great list, but I don't see how the Korean names will be useful to the English reader. Why are they displayed? CG 18:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For the usual reasons: verifiability and providing suitable context information. A person wanting to do further study on the mammals of Korea would be hard pressed to find much of value without having access to the Korean-language names. That would include a Wikipedian seeking to verify the claims here through sources other than the single English-language source cited. Beyond that, it would be a trifle odd, methinks, to provide a list of animals in a non-English-speaking country without any reference to the names by which the animals are actually known there. Note that each name is linked to an English-language Wiktionary entry providing background information on each name. -- Visviva 06:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Copyright on images[edit]

I'm skeptical of the copyright status of some of the images on this list. Image:Sable.gif says it was painted by the user, but it looks like a book scan. Same thing with Image:Faroe stamp 402 blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) crop.jpg. It says it was given by [1], but that site looks like a stamp store. Anyways, you might look into it, since it's a featured list. - Peregrine Fisher 08:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for bringing this up; I've replaced those with images that are clearly PD (though not quite as pretty). I agree that the sable image is suspiciously high-quality, though I can't find any source that it might have been lifted from. And on closer examination, it does seem that the copyright status of Faeroese stamps is unclear; see commons:Template talk:Faroe stamps. Cheers, -- Visviva 09:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Why?[edit]

Is this article really needed? It seems that a list of every mammal unique to Korea would be outside the scope of a single article. -FoxMajik 22:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Endemic species[edit]

In all regional lists like this, it would be nice to know which species are endemic to the region and which are not. For example, a mark could be added to each endemic species' entry. Or, if either group (endemic vs. not endemic) has significantly less members than the other, a simple list could be creating in a separate section. It would contain the names of the species in the smaller group while leaving their more detailed entries in the existing table as it is now.

Domestic vs wild[edit]

Looking through this and other featured biology lists, I notice that the ones listing animals never include domestic animals or humans. Such are explicitly outside the scope of Wild mammal species of Florida, and Thailand birds, Oklahoma birds, New Jersey birds, Kansas birds & Florida birds likewise use the word "wild." Furthermore, California birds arguably excludes chickens, etc., with the phrase "seen naturally," but this omission is overlooked in all other featured lists, and certainly in many other lists of animals. If a decision has been made to focus solely on wild animals in lists, unless otherwise stated, this should be made clearer in the lists themselves. If not, I would argue that these lists are incomplete until they include Homo sapiens and any domestic animals kept in substantial numbers in a given region.

Orphaned references in List of mammals of Korea[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of mammals of Korea's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Brownelletal2001":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 09:48, 15 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Linking Linnaeus[edit]

@Simuliid: Linnaeus is listed as the authority on 26 species listed in the article. At Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking, it says "Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, a link may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead." How often should we link Linnaeus in this article? Thanks,  SchreiberBike | ⌨  22:06, 10 November 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You can choose. The multiple links where already there I think? My only interest was that any reference to just Linnaeus, or Carlos Linnaeus, would better link directly to Carl Linnaeus, without any redirection. Also 1758 is better to link to 10th edition of Systema Naturae. I am aware of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking re: appear only once. However, it does seem normal form on taxonomy listings to link every occasion possible. I suspect this is because as taxonomy changes often. it means they stay intact offecter editing. (I am not aware of a rule clarifying this one way or the other, but are happy to be corrected). this page is not strictly a taxonomy listing. so will let you/others decide if there should only be one link to Carl Linnaeus and 10th edition of Systema Naturae, or many.
I am also aware of the guidance that redirects do not need to be corrected. Note that this is only Guidance, not a rule, and that it is do not need and not must not. That said I am not overly concerned about the Carlos Linnaeus. but correcting these is a handy way to spot over issues in these pages , such as missing author links, categories, and unneeded taxobox items.Simuliid talk 19:29, 18 November 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
