Primate

Restarting this peer review. Old review has been archived. I'm still looking for general coments, though perhaps I'll work towards FAC. - UtherSRG (talk) 07:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Here are some points:

1. A distribution map of non-human primates would be nice.
2. Comment on what kinds of habitats they live in and how loss of that habitat affects their conservation status.
3. Web references in Legal status section should probably be footnotes.
4. I'm of a divided mind whether the text focuses too much on "early" primates.
5. Someone should probably go through the article and add {{cite needed}} to suggest places where references published in print might be helpful.

Hope this helps. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 09:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC) Minor edits by UtherSRG (talk)

Certinly does! :)

1. I'll see what aid I can enlist to make some maps. I love what Pcb21 did with the cetacean articles.
2. Noted. I'll work on this, although it will take some time. Lots of habitats.....
3. I'll catch this tomorrow.
4. I'm mostly interested in taxonomic relationships, so this POV comes across a bit. I'll see what I can do to balance by adding other parts so that I don't have to remove. *grins*
5. I'll catch this tomorrow, too.

Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 09:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've done 3 and 5 for the most part. I think I should do something with the hybridization section, too. I'm looking to the other language 'pedias to see what information I can transwiki to improve this article. I think perhaps a section with more detail on some of the larger groupings would be helpful. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Diet

Could somebody put in something about diet here? Maybe this is too broad a page for that topic, but can something sensible be said about the general range of diets in (non-human) primates? Some are very highly specialized, some not, and I think it would be interesting to have a very brief overview and perhaps some references (and a bit more on some species specific pages).

Some are herbivores, some are more specifically foliovores and fugivores. Some are omnivores. I'm not sure if any are strictly carnivores. I'll work on adding some information. - UtherSRG (talk) 23:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
