* The "==Famous==" section is cute and would be fine for a school report or personal page, but IMHO not quite appropriate for Wikipedia. Jorge Stolfi 04:30, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

This page adds no information whatsoever. Cute children drawings add no information, no matter how cute they are. I'm removing it from the External links section.

message: * This article was created as "bumblebee bat" with a redirect from "Kitti's hog-nosed bat". Recently an anonymous user swapped the two articles, without giving a reason for the move.  Furthermore, the move was done using cut-and-paste, which caused most of the original article's history to be lost.If no one can provide a justification for the move, I propose to undo it.  A bit of the history will be lost, though.  Is there a better  solution? Jorge Stolfi (talk) 15:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: I'll read through more carefully soon, but just four points for starters
# The intro is completely inadequate, with entire sections not mentioned. See Wikipedia:Lead section
# The article title has the English name, so why is the bat referred to by its binomial throughout? Fixed.
# No imperial conversions are given for units contra MOS Fixed.
# Refs 5,9 and 10 have "retrieved on..." but are journals, with no apparent web link. Even if they are on the web, format as [url title] in ref, and leave off "retrieved" Fixed.
# I picked up a couple of errors on the first read, might be worth having a careful copyedit - also avoid drifting between singular and plural

replies: text: Thanks for reviewing! I'll try my best to fix all of these today. As for the copy-edit, I'll look through it again but I'll also try to find another set of eyes to check it. Enoktalk 16:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

text: OK, I still have to fix the intro, but I am having difficulty finding any additional information about the bat's reproduction. Most sources simply say it is "not well known" or just mention what I've already said about a single annual offspring, so I'm not sure how to expand it any further. As for the false pelvic nipple, I have redescribed it as a pair of "vestigial pubic nipple[s]" as this seems to be a more common phrasing. Enoktalk 13:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Good Article review

message: In paragraph 2, the article says:
Colonies range greatly in size, with an average of 100 individuals per cave.
If indeed colonies vary greatly in size, rather than stating a bald average it would be better to give a range, e.g. (values made up):
Colonies range greatly in size, ranging from just a few individuals to more than a thousand per cave.

thread_title:  Size of groups in caves? 

message: Every other site that has information about the bumblebee bat has it as endangered, not vulnerable, as it is listed here. Could someone do some research into that and fix it if it turns out to be wrong?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.152.139.191 (talk) 20:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Endangered status 

message: Not sure whether there was a photo of the bat itself, but if not, there really needs to be. 
I know I've seen pics of this one in news articles and such, so there must be more than one or two pics.
