==Stub report, October 2019==
Hi Bat watchers, I decided to take a deeper look at where our 745 stubs are as of 6 October 2019. Not sure what I was expecting, but to see Miniopteridae at nearly 70% stubs was surprising. Molossids are the best of the larger families on average, at 23.3% stubs. Since March 2018 we've lost net 177 stubs, or an average of 9.3 per month. 178 articles have been added to the project since then, so it's encouraging to see the number of stubs tick downward even as new content is created. At this rate we'll be rid of stubs in 6.7 years (goodness that feels far away). Thanks to any and all who have edited bats over the last few years!

== First annual Tree of Life Decemberween contest ==
After all the fun with the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest/Spooky Species Contest|Spooky Species Contest]] last month, there's a new contest for the (Northern hemisphere's) Winter holidays at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest]].    It's not just Christmas, but anything festive from December-ish.  Feel free to add some ideas to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest#Festive taxa list|Festive taxa list]] and enter early and often. --[[User:NessieVL|Nessie]] ([[User talk:NessieVL|talk]]) 18:42, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

== IUCN updates ==

The IUCN just updated >8,000 species today, including 6700+ new assessments. Here are the bat assessments that have been published in 2019. Putting these here so that they can be systematically updated. I've updated many already (the ones that have come out prior to today). Just needed a way to stop duplicating my own efforts.

==Need new analysis==
I think that we need a new,more recent analysis of how any of our articles are stubs. Anybody agree?

I've realized the statistics weren't calculated correctly in October. Parent categories and their child stub categories were added together by Petscan, giving an inflated total number of articles. The new table is more accurate (and unfortunately, less rosy in terms of stub percentages across the board). The good news is that the total number of stubs has decreased by 23 since October.

==Updated Missing Articles==
Enwebb, I've updated all of the missing articles that you listed in the talk. Are there any more articles that need updating?[[User:TheLordOfWikis|TheLordOfWikis]] ([[User talk:TheLordOfWikis|talk]]) 08:57, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
:If you want to write more missing articles, there's the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mammals/Bats Task Force/Missing articles|list of missing articles]] (though not all these are recognized as full species, it depends on what database you're using. I've been using mammaldiversity.org). All the stubs in the project are found [[:Category:Bat stubs|here]] if you want to improve existing articles. The most popular bat articles are [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mammals/Bats Task Force/Popular pages|here]] if you want to work on something that will benefit lots of people! <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Enwebb|Enwebb]] ([[User talk:Enwebb#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Enwebb|contribs]]) 09:36, 1 April 2020 (UTC)</small>

== Working on GAs moving forward ==

Hi, I just nominated [[Cinnamon red bat]] for GA and found it to be a relatively quick process. I selected the article because it recently had a species account published in ''[[Mammalian Species]]''. As a high-quality secondary source, the ''MS'' publication did about all the work for me. I think I'm going to start working backwards through their [https://academic.oup.com/mspecies/search-results?page=1&q=chiroptera&fl_SiteID=5410&SearchSourceType=1&allJournals=1&sort=Date+%e2%80%93+Newest+First recently published] Chiroptera accounts, aiming to have a GAN every other month or so. If anyone would like to collaborate (or would like mentorship on their first GAN) I'm open to working together. [[User:Enwebb|Enwebb]] ([[User talk:Enwebb|talk]]) 03:44, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
:Hey, Enwebb, I would like to be of some help.[[User:TheLordOfWikis|TheLordOfWikis]] ([[User talk:TheLordOfWikis|talk]]) 06:16, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::{{u|TheLordOfWikis}}, how about [[Dwarf dog-faced bat]]? On first glance it looks okay but lots of the content is uncited and will have to be replaced. Do you have any sections in particular you'd like to work on? Any you'd prefer to avoid? Also let me know if you want me to email you a PDF to the MS publication--doesn't look like it's on ResearchGate. [[User:Enwebb|Enwebb]] ([[User talk:Enwebb|talk]]) 17:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::: Sure, I could work on that. I would like to avoid the description section, though. Email me the MS PDF on TheLordOfWikis@yandex.com. [[User:TheLordOfWikis|TheLordOfWikis]] ([[User talk:TheLordOfWikis|talk]]) 03:37, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
::::Hey {{u|Enwebb}}, well done for the [[Cinnamon red bat]]! I have been working on the [[Western barbastelle]] lately. It is still a bit far to GA's standards, and I might not be able to work on it on a daily base, but in case you would be interested. The MS for this species is from 1997, therefore, it will require a certain amount of additional references.I am personally happy to work more on distribution and ecology, and maybe go into my first GAN process, in some weeks maybe?. [[User:Fulup56|Fulup56]] ([[User talk:Fulup56|talk]]) 14:30, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
:::::{{u|Fulup56}}, sure, I'd be happy to work on western barbastelle and help you nominate. I can't promise working on it daily either, don't worry :) 
:::::
:::::It's looking pretty good so far. I think the lead and the description could use expansion, and I'm not seeing information about their reproductive behaviors yet. [[User:Enwebb|Enwebb]] ([[User talk:Enwebb|talk]]) 16:04, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
::::{{u|TheLordOfWikis}}, that email didn't work. I got an email saying the delivery of the email was blocked due to "Policy rejection on the target address". You can enable email in your preferences, which would let me email you through Wikipedia. If you don't mind a somewhat unconventional method of accessing papers, you can use [[Sci-Hub]].

: For updating IUCN references the {{tlx|make cite iucn}} template may be useful. Use  {{tlx|make cite iucn|THE CITATION COPIED FROM THE IUCN PAGE}}. I can't get it to substitute properly, but previewing it and coping the {{tl|cite iucn}} code works well enough and avoids fussing with the citation template parameters. —&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Jts1882|&nbsp;talk]]&nbsp;</span> 19:40, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

::: I've fixed the issue with substitution. The problem was that substitution doesn't work within {{tag|ref}}. The solution is to add the tags with the {{tl|make cite iucn}}  template using {{para|ref|iucn}}, which cause the substitution of a {{tl|cite iucn}} within a {{tag|ref|attribs=name=iucn}}. See the {{tl|make cite iucn}} documentation for an example. —&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Jts1882|&nbsp;talk]]&nbsp;</span> 14:14, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

== Chiropterophily ==

The term [[chiropterophily]] apparently leads to the article on [[pollination syndrome]]s. I expanded it there, more in the line of plant anatomy, but I also rewrote/expanded it at [[zoophily]]. So what should be the 'main' article? Bit ambiguous. One could also easily combine the two and make a separate article. Thoughts? Takers?

:{{u|Leo Breman}}, hi, I've been on a bit of a wiki-break. I think it would be nice to have a full article, but I don't think I have the stamina to do so myself. Basically, I think it's fine the way it is, and if someone has the energy, it would also be great to have a detailed stand-alone article. I'd love to have more great bat content, but I'm trying to pace myself in what I can personally commit to. [[User:Enwebb|Enwebb]] ([[User talk:Enwebb|talk]]) 03:50, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

== Month-long article improvement drive? ==

This project has been more or less dead in the water since Enwebb stopped editing regularly. Considering that our scope includes the most speciose group of mammals, we really should be seeing more activity. To help pump some new life into this project, I propose a one-month long article-improvement drive in March. The drive will use a point-based system identical to the one used by MILHIST. The competitors with the most and second-most points will be awarded barnstars. Based on the response, we could even keep this as a rolling year-long contest like MILHIST does.

== ''Hsunycteris'' vs ''Lonchophylla'' ==

Woodman and Timm, 2006 described two new species ''[[Lonchophylla cadenai|L. cadenai]]'' and ''[[Lonchophylla pattoni|L. pattoni]]''. Velazco, Soto-Centeno, Fleck, Voss and Simmons, 2017 described new genus ''[[Hsunycteris]]'', moved those two species into it along with ''[[Lonchophylla thomasi|L. thomasi]]'', and described ''[[Hsunycteris dashe|H. dashe]]''. Any issues with me making the new genus, the three new species, and updating ''[[Lonchophylla]]'' and ''L. thomasi''? This is being done as part of the work from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mammals/Missing mammal species]].

== Request:  Handbook of the Mammals of the World Vol. 9 - Bats ==

I am currently in search of the "Handbook of the Mammals of the World, Vol. 9 - Bats" to aid in improving related articles. Unfortunately, due to the high cost, obtaining a copy has proven challenging for me.

If any members have access to the handbook and are willing to share it, I would deeply appreciate it. I'm currently working on trying to improve the bat articles and I think the handbook would be a great reference to have.

: {{ping|Myth Sys}} The text is available as a csv file on GitHub ([https://github.com/jhpoelen/hmw/blob/main/hmw-volume-9.csv hmw-volume-9.csv]). Not ideal, but you can read the text in Excel and it has links to distribution maps. I don't know about the copyright position, but this is part of scientific project funded by the NIH and NSF.—&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Jts1882|&nbsp;talk]]&nbsp;</span> 14:02, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

== ASM MDD 1.12 ==

I note [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mammals#ASM's_MDD_v1.12_is_now_live|here]] that the new version of the MDD is out. In the 38 newly listed species, there's a good chunk of them that are bats.
