Rock squirrel → Rock Squirrel —. Requested move to usual capitalisation of mammal names (used for all other ground squirrels), see guidelines and discussions at WP:MAMMAL. — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 17:26, 7 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Comment See: Template:S. Xerinae2 nav for that list of squirrels.-- Labattblueboy ( talk) 12:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC) reply
Support I thought I'd oppose but he's right, this is just bringing the article in line with the others in the same topic area.-- Labattblueboy ( talk) 12:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC) reply
What I said at Talk:Thirteen-lined ground squirrel applies here (with the link corrected):

Consistency among articles is a good thing, but there is a significant minority of mammal articles that also use the singular, and there has never been any clear consensus either way. If anything, recent developments seem in favor of not capitalizing. An important consideration for me is that the relevant literature almost exclusively uses lowercase.

Oppose until there is consensus for using either sentence or title case in relevant WikiProjects. Ucucha 12:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Yes, I agree this should be put on hold until a wider decision is made. — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 00:55, 16 January 2010 (UTC) reply
