Under the section titled "evolution" in the sentence "One branch would evolve into cetaceans, possibly beginning about 52 million years ago, with the protowhale Pakicetus and other early whale ancestors collectively known as Archaeoceti." Only the "52" in "52 million years ago" is highlighted and linked to a timeline. For constancies sake along with more pleasing formatting, change to include all of "52 million years ago" within the link as opposed to just "52". RawryUwU (talk) 17:39, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: The requested change would require a modification to the {{mya}} template. See that template for documentation. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:06, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Not done for now: Where exactly should this be added? Also, I wouldn't advise using "recently" here. Review MOS:RELTIME.

Semi-protected edit request on 31 January 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Hippopotamus. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
