thread_title: Range?

message: I was perusing your article about big brown bats and got as far as where they roost (according to your article under tree bark).  This is not at all correct.  I used to work with bat conservation.  Some examples of tree-dwelling bats in North America are Red bats and Hoary bats.  Big Browns are cave-dwelling, or they will reside in buildings, under shutters, etc.  They DO NOT dwell in trees.

message: Hi  thanks for your recent edits to this article. Are you planning to go for GA? I might be interested in collaborating if you are. Enwebb (talk) 15:04, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! Yeah, I was actually thinking of getting it promoted, and I would very much be interested in collabing. I'm relatively new to biological articles (my previous editing has been focused mostly on pop culture and history stuff), but I've recently gotten really interested in microbats.--Gen.

replies: text: Ah, I see that you're the editor who worked on little brown bat. That's actually the article that made me fall in love with 'em. That picture is adorable.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:29, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , always good to meet a fellow lover of bats! I've been working on a lot of the larger bats lately, but now that my recent FAC is wrapped up, I would be happy to start working towards a GA for another little guy (just didn't want to step on your toes or anything). The article probably doesn't need too much more to meet GA standards. Description is pretty sparse compared to little brown bat, though. What are your thoughts?

replies: text:  I'm thinking lede, description, and relationship w/ human sections could use more content. But aside from that, I agree that much of the article is decently complete. I'd like to go through and clean up some of the older sources and fact check, too.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:45, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , I think it's about there. Are you still interested in being a co-nom? Enwebb (talk) 14:51, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent improvements 

message: Hi  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm wondering if the article "big brown bat" is the best place for you to add general content about bat conservation groups. This content does not seem specific to the big brown bat. I just started this article: List of bat conservation and research groups. It's clearly pretty bare, but maybe the content you've written can go there instead. Enwebb (talk) 14:44, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and removed the text you added, as it is not in the scope of this article. If you would like to add it to a more suitable article, you can recover your work here. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:31, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi ! I went ahead and moved your content over to the list article.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:14, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

message: "Like all bats in the US, the big brown bat can be impacted by rabies, though some individuals have immunity against the virus."
