Originals are preserved at every grade
B-Class is an ambition, not a deletion threshold for TC:ORIGINALS. Properly sourced C-Class, Start-Class and Stub-Class originals belong in this collection. Grade or length alone must never trigger automatic deletion, replacement with an import, redirecting away or repeated regeneration. Read the preservation rule.

What original means here
These are newly composed accounts with citations to the underlying sources. Imported Wikipedia prose does not become an original simply through rewording. Original does not mean unsourced or based on invented research.
The first priority is a useful, accurate B-Class account. Where the evidence supports less, an article may be C-Class, Start-Class or Stub-Class, with the remaining gaps recorded. An interim short article is not evidence that fuller coverage is impossible.
Articles retain the site's stated licence. Source authors keep their rights in their own text, photographs and datasets; a citation alone is not permission to reproduce them.
Bats: living species and fossil names
The bat collection adds 187 original accounts and 17 navigation redirects covering the 188 entries in the supplied missing-articles list. The accounts are provisionally assessed as 3 C-Class, 5 Start-Class and 179 Stub-Class; none is claimed to be B-Class. Many are short taxonomic foundations needing further research. Synonym and uncertain-name accounts are not additional accepted species.
