[edit]

Could someone please change this: "Lemurs have a toothcomb…" to: "Nearly all living strepsirrhines have a toothcomb…" Given the context, the latter is more accurate. – Maky « talk » 19:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC) – Maky « talk » 19:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article currently doesn't say that, and the current wording pushes in the other direction. In these situations, we advise that people make the change in the article, and then we give it some time to see if the change survives. By the time that happens, this TFA will be off the Main Page. But yes, go ahead and make the change in the article, and let's see what happens. - Dank (push to talk) 19:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm talking about the overview on the main page, not the article. And the article does say that. I know… I wrote it. All lemuriforms except the aye-aye have a tooth comb, while the adapiforms do not. – Maky « talk » 19:36, 20 December 2016 (UTC) – Maky « talk » 19:36, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, the article does say that ... although it's an awful lot of work to find it and decode it. I'll make the change. - Dank (push to talk) 19:40, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! – Maky « talk » 19:44, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
