[edit] Western Ringtail
Western Ringtail Pseudocheirus occidentalis is accepted as a full species by the Australian federal government as well as by the Western Australian state government. Maias 11:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- Mammal Species of the World (3rd ed, 2005) is the authoritative and canonical listing of mammals and is written by scientists. Australia's governments are not the canonical listing. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- I am reverting to the previous version. This is a simple disambiguation page with a valid link to a valid page elsewhere; it is not a taxonomic list, nor is it making taxonomic judgements.Maias (talk) 07:54, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Your valid link did not exist when I first reverted, I believe, and so my later revert was based off of not knowing you had created the article. However, you used incorrect information (the Australian government does not decide what taxa are species and which are not). I've fixed both this list and the Western Ringtail Possum article to reflect the standard of MSW3. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
