File:Kibegwa 2023 rumen microbiome.png is displayed in section Template:Section link. The source of the image is "Fig 1. Phylogenetic classification of the rumen microbiome as revealed by metagenomic analysis." from paper "Diversity and functional analysis of rumen and fecal microbial communities associated with dietary changes in crossbreed dairy cattle" by Kibegwa et al.
In bottom center of the image (labeled "a", captioned Template:Tq), a small pie chart is split into three parts. Arrows from these slices point to three corresponding bar charts. The arrow from the blue (Archaea) slice points to a bar chart (labeled "e", captioned Template:Tq) with six items:
- Arthropoda
- Streptophyta
- Chordata
- Ascomycota
- Other Eukaryota
- unclassified (Eukaryota)
Arrow from the grey (Eukaryota) slice points to a bar chart with:
It seems that there is a mix-up both in the original paper and in the file on Commons. Either the blue and grey parts are mixed up, or the arrows from pie chart to bar charts are wrong. I couldn't find errata for this paper.

- Best would be a bit of rearranging using a raster graphics editor. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:07, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Well since nobody seems to be trampling everyone to death rushing to fix the image, I've fixed it myself. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:56, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Template:Edit semi-protected Young male cattle are called bull calves, once they are castrated they are called steers for the first 12 months then they are bullocks or oxen. 58.179.75.144 (talk) 20:36, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: leaving aside that Wikipedia isn't a dictionary, we can't insert text without citing a reliable source; nor is it obvious where this might go in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiswick Chap (talk • contribs) 20:43, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- The sentence "Young female cattle are called heifers, young male cattle are oxen or bullocks, and castrated male cattle are known as steers." is arguably misleading (or plain wrong).
- Refering to any intact (not castrated) young bull as an "ox" needs a citation/reliable source, in the first place.
