The Pleistocene was not in the Paleogene as you can see in the box on top of article please fix the shadow because it shows Paleogene or fix the title from Pleistocene to Paleogene 71.254.13.155 (talk) 10:37, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Please explain what you mean when you say "fix the shadow because it shows Paleogene". I understand that the article should say Pleistocene and not Paleogene but it doesn't say Paleogene once except "To further complicate the issue, several Paleogene fossil primates from outside Madagascar, such as Bugtilemur, have been classified as lemurs" which seems appropriate.

Etymology section

What is the rationale for having etymology and rationale for name as two separate sections? Would it be better to combine the two sections into one titled "Etymology"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AngstyHippo (talk • contribs) 14:52, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phylogeny update?

Lead concerns

@Hemiauchenia, I noticed that with the edits you've made to the lead, the last paragraph is now quite long, and includes some information redundant to the rest of the lead (e.g. describing Archaeoindris twice). Would you be able to go through the lead to ensure it conforms to MOS:LEAD at an FA level? Sdkb ^talk 01:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
