Klipspringer
- ... that in klipspringer (pictured), opposite sexes form pairs that can last till one of them dies?
Improved to Good Article status by Sainsf (talk). Self-nominated at 09:39, 17 May 2016 (UTC).
GA new enough, article long enough. The sentence covering predators needs serious work though. "eagle" and "snake" are not defined enough to be reliable, as neither term specifies what species might prey on the klipspringer. Are we talking garter snakes or boas for example.--Kevmin § 12:48, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. The source does not specify the species, should I just remove them from the list? Sainsf (talk · contribs) 15:39, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Two options are available. Find more reliable sourcing that specifies what the predators are, or remove the section as unreliable. Given the very generic descriptions that the source provides, I am uncertain of the quality it provides.--Kevmin § 14:42, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- I found a new source that specifies what eagle species might feed on the klipspringer, though not the snakes (which I removed). The source is reliable, and I have used it in many articles. It is not specific in a few cases, but provides a good account of species like these, which only a few sources cover. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 16:40, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
