Quick question which I don't have the knowledge to correct; this article says the species is very rare, not seen for many years, and that it is widespread, 'commonest in the mountains' ; this is a bit confusing 78.148.57.143 (talk) 04:45, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this species named after Sir David Attenborough? If so, it should be noted. Parmesan 18:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. See original description here. Ucucha 19:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and note that the article already mentions it. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:22, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name

I have seen it referred to as "Attenborough's Long-beaked Echidna", rather than "Sir David's Long-beaked Echidna". Which is correct? 90.192.7.72 13:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We follow Mammal Species of the World (3rd ed 2005) for common names. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nat Geo source on Long-beaked Echidna

It's not clear which, if any, species they are describing in the June 2010 issue

Page image

This species' existence is only known from a specimen from 1961. I'm not sure which species the page image is, but it doesn't match the specimen image further down. 207.228.178.54 (talk) 14:21, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you are correct. I'm not entirely sure what to do to get it removed from Commons (though it is obviously a simple step to remove it from the article). It's being used in several other language wikis, so I want to make sure it gets the proper treatment. UtherSRG (talk) 16:55, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 11 November 2023

The request to rename this article to Zaglossus attenboroughi has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Sir David's long-beaked echidna → Zaglossus attenboroughi – All of the supposed "common names" listed in the lead are not widely used. The titular Sir David's has only been used 3 times [1]. "Attenborough's long-beaked echidna" has more uses, but has only been used 7 times. [2], and the cyclops one has only been used twice [3]. In cases where there is no clear common name, the species name should be preferred. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:19, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
