[edit] Incomplete move request
An incomplete move request at Wikipedia:Requested moves indicated that there was a proposal to move this page to the animal's scientific name. Below are the comments that the proposal generated there, which generally did not support a move. If the move is still desired, please file a full request using the procedure described at WP:RM. Thank you. Dekimasuよ! 08:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- I don't actually contest the move, but animal article titles are covered under WP:ToL and common names may be used, this should be removed from here and discussed on the talk page of the article, then a consensus reached. —KP Botany 19:56, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

- Comment: WP:TOL says: "In cases where there is a formal common name (e.g. birds), or when common names are well-known and reasonably unique, they should be used for article titles, except for plant articles. Scientific names should be used otherwise." I don't personally have any sense of whether "horned gopher" is "well-known" enough to qualify. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 23:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

- Comment:As far as I know, they're either known as "Mygaulids" or "Epigaulus." I've never heard of "horned gopher" being used as a common name for them until Wikipedia, especially since most of the books that mention them make a big to-do about how they're related to sewells/mountain beavers.--Mr Fink 14:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
