- Comment: This article was a redirect. I unredirected it and wrote all of the content. I wasn't sure whether to list it as new or a redirect, so I listed it as both. If that's an issue I'll fix it. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 16:21, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Length, date, hook, and quid-pro-quo verified. Some sources online word their definition of "rosette" similarly to the definition in the lead section, but I don't see it as a serious close-paraphrasing problem. It's a single sentence, and there are only so many ways you can define a word that has few synonyms. Rosette (zoology) presents a bit of a snag, because that article only talks about a type of color marking, not a cowlick. Template:U, I suggest you either delink rosette (zoology) or add something to the rosette article about the guinea-pig-specific definition of the word. A. Parrot (talk) 22:02, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- I unlinked it. I thought there was some mention of guinea pigs at the rosette (zoology) article, but I was probably confusing it with a different article, and I'm not sure I can find anything right off the bat to back up the specific terminology as applied to guinea pigs. Thanks for your review. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 00:29, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
