I'll take this one; article is kind of long, so expect initial comments in the next 48-72 hours. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 18:14, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a long article, so I will go heading by heading.

the ancestor of the world's hundreds of breeds[1] of domestic rabbit: sounds weird to be, consider rephrasing
Sylvilagus includes 13 wild rabbit species: The Sylvilagus genus includes ...
Why are these two genus mentioned specifically, and not the others? Explain in the para(are they the most numerous, the most common, the most ...?)

The word rabbit itself derives...[8]: Make this the first para, and complete the route; what does the root word mean
derived ultimately from the Latin cuniculus: What does cuniculus mean/is derived from
Are you sure the refs for litter(Mereck Vet Manual), or "colony or nest"(Collective Noun Page) reliable?

some of the genera and species: some of the extant genera and species
Can the images and list be presented better? To reduce the amount of scrolling required (maybe as a table, but that might be a bit complex to make)

of the figures.[151] The rabbits' role: Split the para here, and merge the corresponding para with the newly formed para

Change section title to "Mythology and Folklore"
Remove the main article wikilink from here(if you want, merge from that article's folklore section to here, instead of the opposite)
Add the Easter bunny and just write mentioned above or something like that
The rabbit often appears in folklore as the trickster archetype as he uses his cunning to outwit his enemies.: Only example given is Central Africa, so just merge with that
The rabbit as ... a popular cartoon character.[176]: Makes these two paras the last paras
Make the current two last paras and the two paras mentioned above under a new section, such as modern times or something (choose a good subheading)
The Br'er rabbit is both folklore and modern, so mention in both with the diff refs, Disney under modern and A-A under folklore
The mix of bullet points and paras would look weird, consider choosing one type and make it coherent
Images would go under folklore, not Modern times, if it ends up confusing

I'll review the other headings later. The article is very well written for such a complex topic, well done. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 08:09, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Reconrabbit: F, I keep forgetting to ping. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 17:38, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I saw the changes on my watchlist, no problem. I'm working on things as I can. I will admit that in my initial run through improving the article, terminology was one section I didn't really touch upon. Recon rabbit 18:02, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
