A fact from St Kilda field mouse appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 May 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the St Kilda field mouse (pictured) lives 100 miles (160 km) off the coast of Scotland, and is twice the size of mainland mice?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/May. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/St Kilda field mouse.

Photograph[edit]

This photo looks like an ordinary field mouse, not the St. Kilda subspecies. PatGallacher (talk) 18:47, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A note[edit]

This article contains numerous grammatical and punctuation errors. In some cases, the message is clear, while in other sentences the meaning is muddled by such errors. Someone with a better knowledge of this topic should consider revising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.192.104 (talk) 17:22, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The references used in this article are easy to access and very easy to understand. I suggest next time you find this sort of situation, instead of posting a criticism, you have a go at fixing the article yourself. This is, after all, the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. However, I went ahead and gave the prose a bit of a clean up just now. Invertzoo (talk) 20:35, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There, fixed it for you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.2.120.11 (talk) 13:44, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
