Southern Right Whales in India?
[edit]According to Sathasivam's Marine Mammals of India (2004) a right whale reportedly stranded at Gajana, Gajarut in 1944, but was subsequently identified as a blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus. One was also reportedly processed at a whaling station in the Seycelles in 1913, but no "substantive evidence" was ever provided. With that said, should the Southern right whale be removed from this list? Jonas Poole (talk) 01:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Presence of Large Flying Fox (Pteropus vampyrus)
[edit]Should Pteropus vampyrus be shown in this list? It appears to be external to India, as per the article.

- Agree per Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, have commented that and some other species out. Shyamal (talk) 16:32, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
Common Names of Chiropterans
[edit]The names of many Chiropteran articles do not match that of the Wikipedia articles. For example, Rhinopoma hardwickii is named incorrectly as "Small mouse-tailed bat" (which is the name of Rhinopoma muscatellum) rather than its correct name "Lesser mouse-tailed bat".
To rectify this, I propose to rename the common names in those articles which are titled by their common names. E.g. Eonycteris spelaea would be referred to as "Cave nectar bat" and not "Dawn bat" (as given in the list at present). AshLin (talk) 17:17, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Subspecies
[edit]Since they have been removed from similar pages, I have decided to remove links to subspecies or populations here. Leo1pard (talk) 11:35, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
Copy edits
[edit]I've been making a series of copy edits, mostly making formatting consistent within the list and similar to other lists. This list has such a variety of formats and is so generally different from others in the "List of mammals of ..." series, that I thought it could benefit from a good cleaning. Before I go forward, I'd like to hear any objections or suggestions. If no one objects, I will continue. Thank you, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 23:54, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
- I appreciate consistency! But suggest to use {{small|name, year}} instead of <small>. Cheerio -- BhagyaMani (talk) 06:50, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
Done @BhagyaMani: Why do you prefer the template over the html? SchreiberBike | ⌨ 05:02, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, SchreiberBike: the template has been designed to replace the html version, and it works on mobile phones. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 05:57, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
