[edit] 85.181.106.176

Andrew,

I suggest that you look at the edit made a short while ago by this URL to Esox niger. I have since deleted his obscenity, but you might want to consider some admin action. Thanks. Alan, Accassidy 19:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Add a language to main page

Hello, There's an orphaned page named Першая старонка (I beleive it is Belorussian). Is it possible to add it to the main page's languages? Else can you delete it? I've been handling the orphaned pages and managed to reduce then from 1200 to practically nill. Mariusm 17:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Numbered references

Is it possible to put inline text numbers which will link to numbered references in the references section of the same page? Stho002 02:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

Hi, after one message on the village pump page, I am still nowhere. First, is there an IRC channel for species, and if there is, can you please tell me which one, because I can not find it. Thank you --Lasta 14:44, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism from Cheesecracker

Hi, I'm leaving this message on the talkpage of several of the Wikispecies admins. User:Cheesecracker has spent an hour and a half running riot through Wikispecies. I couldn't find an admin urgently so requested help from the Stewards. A two hour block has been placed while cleanup occurs. Can an indefinite block please be used?

somebody REALLY doesn't want that pdf link there!
Stho002 02:20, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Not Amsterdam, but Russia (use http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation), where the author comes from. Perhaps you could protect the page from unregistered users? This is the second attempt to remove the pdf (and this time not by removing it as such, but by changing it slightly so it doesn't work!)...


Stho002 21:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd use a different IP locator if I were you, your one tells me I'm in Australia!!! Stho002 01:04, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Template problems

Hi, I'm having problems with Thyrsopteris and Thyrsopteris elegans. The names are not showing in bold on their pages. I suspect I've done something wrong in the template Thyrsopteris, but for the life of me I can't see it. I've compared them with the already existing templates and articles for Dicksonia and Dicksonia antarctica but am still no further forward. Can you please have a look, when you've a moment, and tell me what I've done? Thanks, Beeswaxcandle 05:48, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. So obvious, but... Beeswaxcandle 19:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, OhanaUnited. Thank you very much for your welcome. It is always a pleasure to help. Regards, --Lucien leGrey 15:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Lycaon strikes again

  • yet again Lycaon reverts edits for two important pages that I improved (Animalia and Platyhelminthes) with the effect of removing the phyla overview on the Animalia page, despite Mariusm's support for such overviews, and his plea for Lycaon not to waste time targeting my edits. I have no wish to start a wheel war, but I have undone Lycaon's meddling yet again. It would be nice to see Lycaon actually add a significant number of new taxon pages...

Now I have a question for you. I noticed your signature here, and tried to modify mine. I prepared signature on the page User:Lasta/signature, and I tried to substitute my signature with that on the page. But, no joy. What do I have to fill in my pref. to substitute my present signature with new one. Thanks --Lasta 11:17, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Interwikis

Thanks for added those interwiki links. I was going to go back and do that but then I thought maybe there was a bot around that could do that. I'm guessing there's not, huh? Another question: Should I be making taxonav templates for genera or just everything above? Arugula999 00:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your reply. You seem to be one of the few active users right now, so I hope you don't mind another question. Basically, I'm confused over author abbreviations. I looked at Catalog:Taxon Authorities and related stuff on en.wp, but it's still unclear where these abbreviations come from. Who makes them "official"? I wanted to created some of the most wanted pages, but ran into the problem of not having any one authoritative source. I got as far as creating one.. Is what I did ok? Maybe you can help clear this up for me. Arugula999 04:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] MelancholieBot

Hello OhanaUnited,
MelancholieBot is running again :-) --- Best regards, Melancholie 01:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Do you know of any tool/bot to add links to Wikispecies on Wikipedias, by the way? Currently, the interwiki linking is only one-way (only species->wikipedia), as you know. Is it allowed to add links to Wikispecies at en.Wikipedia by bot? --- Best regards, Melancholie 04:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
I have done inter-project linking by bot already for Wiktionary (in de.wp) some years ago, but this resulted in quite some trouble. Some people just do not like to see that kind of links, and once a problem occurs those people will just go to the barricades. Remember problems like User_talk:Melancholie#Agna that cannot be resolved automatically/autonomously. Placing links into wrong Wikipedia articles or just placing links to Wikispecies articles that are - by some - considered to not be continuative ("of more use") could be a big problem, unfortunately. --- Best regards, Melancholie 15:31, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Admin status

Thanks Andrew! Stho002 03:40, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Diagnostics

Apologies for including the diagnostic characters on the Phoebolampta caeruleotergum page; I thought the information might be useful to researchers using the page, but can understand your reasons for not wanting to include original research.

Incidentally, yes I am the real Sam W. Heads :) and you can contact me directly at sam.heads@port.ac.uk.

Thanks and best wishes ~ Sam W. Heads 20:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

So I could include notes on the diagnostic characters of a taxon in a taxon talk page? Having thought about this, it might be better just to avoid diagnostic data altogether as it may lead to endless debates with some taxa... not really what Wikispecies is all about I suppose? Cheers ~ Sam W. Heads 20:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Dear Andrew, I have created pages for the Genus Eoproscopia and the species Eoproscopia martilli (complete with photo of the holotype). Since I'm pretty new to this, I was hoping you could look over it and let me know if I've got it right? Thanks in advance ~ Sam W. Heads 22:35, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for checking over those pages. Much appreciated ~ Sam W. Heads 18:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] RE:

Oh God! He's been systematically removing the genus name from bird pages! I checked a few at random just now, and it looks like all his edits need reverting! What does he think he's doing??? Stho002 02:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
It seems that he was trying to update Emberizidae to a subfamily of Fringillidae, which is OK, except that he has stuffed up just about every step along the way! I don't have time to fix it all just now. Stho002 02:50, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies

Hi. I was just trying to update family Fringillidae to subfamily Fringillinae, and family Estrildidae to subfamily Estrildinae inside Passeridae. But I'm quite new here and I sort of messed it up a bit. So sorry about that.
I'm already fixing it. Please contact me if you undo my edits, or I will go dizzy!
Thanks. --Scuila 18:07, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Synonyms

Is there any reason why you removed the hyperlink on the synonym on that Larus saundersi page? I know it just redirects to the same page, but it is a handy way of seeing quickly that the redirects have in fact been done (i.e., it is blue rather than red), or if blue it is quick to click on it and make sure it is a redirect... Stho002 04:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the welcomes. I want to ask you something, The only thing that I could do by now is add vernacular names in spanish and other languages of my country (gl, eu & ca) and external link for the wikipedia in that languages. Must I mark the box for minor changes? Thank you again and excuse me for my very poor english! Huges4981 08:09, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks you again!

[edit] Canis mortuus

Canis mortuus may well be entirely a hoax page, because it was made by a habitual cross-wiki vandal who I have already blocked at Wikiquote (currently using the name User:Smog Glue). This user should be permanently blocked. ~ Kalki 01:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Here is a link to the SUL tool for the current cross-wiki status: http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Smog+Glue

[edit] Re: Bot logged off

Hello OhanaUnited,
yes, User:Maxim notified me already about that on alswiki. Sorry for that! It was caused by a very annoying PyWikipedia bug (fell into that trap, grr). --- Best regards, Melancholie 07:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] About templates

Hello and thanks for your help. I read the page on templates but there are still some questions left: Are the templates created automatically by typing Template:... in the normal wikispecies text, or do they have to be created separately? And how do I "go" to a template for changing it? Perhaps this information could be added on the templates help page.

I have to insert a botanical section between genus and species level . I think this will need a lot of copying, so is it possible to edit 2 pages at the same time?

When all format editing of a genus work is ready, can the older versions be deleted? --Thiotrix 06:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Botanical Sectiones

The genus Halothamnus is divided into 2 Sectiones: Sect. Pungentifolia (only H. beckettii) and sect. Halothamnus (all other species). Thanks for helping and best regards. --Thiotrix 07:49, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Comment Requested

Wider opinions and comments are requested on the village pump here regarding a proposed change in formatting of the taxonavigation section. Please read the and comment.--Kevmin 00:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Discussion closes 26 April 2009 Stho002 00:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

While not a revert back to the initial format I would like it noted that Stho002 has again changed the format of Ephemeroptera after you specifically asked both of us stop making changes until after the vote. I will not revert it as Stho002 has already threatened to ban me once regarding this situation. I would also like to not I several times specifically asked in my edit summaries and in the VP discussion that he not make any more changes to the format which he has ignored. Is there a WS policy for RFCs? --Kevmin 22:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Kevmin clearly has not read my latest comments on the VillagePump, where I state that the "compromise solution" is, on my understanding, already in line with agreed guidelines, and I will edit accordingly unless there is a consensus decision to say otherwise. I have changed Ephemeroptera in line with this "compromise solution" only. Stho002 23:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Also, it is entirely inaccurate to say that I threatened to ban Kevmin! I did no such thing! What I said was that if he continued to revert my edits, I would have to invoke my sysop powers, but this might well mean protecting pages rather than blocking anybody! Stho002 23:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Diorhabda carinata and Diorhabda carinulata

Yes, they are 2 different species (easily checked with reference abstract) Stho002 04:42, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Thank you for your note regarding the correct order for the reference section and vernacular names section. To date, all but one or two of the pages I have modified had the vernacular names section already entered, but empty, or with the names entered in such a way that they were not appearing on the page. I entered some names, copying the format from other pages that had vernacular names published, but did not change the placement of any of the sections on the page. I am very, very new at this, so any other hints and tips will be appreciated. For example, should I move the vernacular names section when I find it before the reference section? And why is it there so often, anyway? Many of the vernacular names that are not appearing on the page have the square brackets, which I think is supposed to be a link, yet the result is invisible on the page. Am I doing more harm than good by changing them to the |en= type format?

Oh, and as an aside, I belong to the "Hey, what's this do?" school of learning, so I was alarmed when I clicked on the "User:OhanaUnited/Usurp notice" link, I hope I didn't cause any problems. It was a link with a vague and mysterious name, so I investigated, I don't want to usurp your name. Infoglutton 21:37, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


So far, I have yet to find a species page that has the reference page before the vernacular names. I had begun changing them, as you informed me the references should come before the vernacular names, but as references have uniformly been last on every page I've looked at, I am wondering if it's worth it.

[edit] Alphitobius

I didn't get around to it today, but I have specimens, so I will image one tomorrow. Even a poor photo would be better than that awful drawing - could have been anything! I can do fairly good images, like Brontopriscus Cheers, Stho002 06:18, 16 June 2009 (UTC) Have added image, see Alphitobius diaperinus: not the best of specimens (or images), but still an improvement! Stho002 21:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, Ohana, for a start you could take a walk outside, preferably where there are trees and things, and see what you can find! Other than that, I survive (just!) doing insect identification work for various clients, so there are probably a couple of hundred thousand (maybe even million) specimens of various (mostly small) species sitting in samples in this room with me right now. Stho002 21:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Stho002

Hi Ohana, not sure if you have seen my post in Village Pump Wikispecies:Village_Pump#Admin_rights_user:stho002, about the same subject as you posted on Stho's talk page. Personally I think it has gone too far already. But if you think this final warning and a last chance is the best way to deal on this matter, I gladly leave that to you. However, considering Stho's history and persistence, giving another chance may not be the best solution. --Kempm 08:18, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks Andrew!

Thanks for your help in getting started with Wikispecies for Diorhabda.

[edit] Re: administrator

Thank you! Heh, I had to deal with that template sharing stuff on Commons.. it took forever to clean it up (everything was all intertwined with everything else—and he was active at the time). Luckily he didn't get too far here, but coming across a few remnants brought back nightmares; I had to get rid of it as fast as I could. :) Rocket000 08:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Pantala flavescens

Andrew: I see you replaced my image with a "better" one. Depends on what you mean by better! Your one looks nicer, but my one shows the wing venation clearly, the fine details of which are most important for identification! What should we do? Stho002 23:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC) On second thoughts, maybe your one is better, as I can see the venation OK on one side when I enlarge the image. Stho002 23:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

It might be a good idea in future to discuss in advance the replacement of any of my images, since I am probably a better judge than you on how IDENTIFIABLE a species is from an image. In this case, however, I am happy to accept the replacement. Stho002 03:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] In taxonomy: subspecies, not varieties

Hi, a taxonomist should use the term subspecies and left the terminus varieties for those who are interested in gardening. I was wrong, because I found the list of subspecies and overlooked the terminus ‘varieties’. Thank you. tea ≈Dl 18:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Xanthopimpla authorship

Andrew, I actually had those species authorships correct! The authors of a taxon don't have to be the authors of the article - you need to check INSIDE the article! Stho002 06:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

==Eukaryota== (copy from Village Pump)

I just reverted user:Stho002s revisions to the Eukaryota page as there was no discussion that I could find regarding whether or not the new 2 clade structure, just published this year, has actually overturned the years of contention on the taxonomy and phylogeny of the group. I would have looked to the talk page and posted my concerns there but I see in my watchlist the the entire page was deleted in the same overhall by the same editor with the resoning of "no longer relevant". This is completely against talk page policy and the page should be restored to allow discussion of what taxonomy to follow.--Kevmin 05:32, 25 July 2009 (UTC) I have just been able to post this comment after being temporarally blocked. I hope that I will receive a full hearing out of my concerns before actions are taken again.--Kevmin 05:34, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bot running again

Hello OhanaUnited,
sorry for letting you wait for so long before restarting the bot. It's just better to wait some time between two full loops, so that there are more changes to do; more effective this way. But now my bot is running again :-)

For the future I plan to loop over newly created pages every day (like for Wikipedia); interwiki linking should be more effective that way. --- Kind regards, Melancholie 05:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] VN template

Ok, I wasn't sure what you were talking about. I do see one issue though, gil (Gilbertese) is not defined in MediaWiki (it's in the Incubator though), so #language: won't convert it. Easy enough to fix... if it wasn't for how poorly this template was written. Why does {{VN}} even use templates like {{en}} and {{gil}}? Is it so people can hide certain translations through custom CSS? I doubt anyone would do that. Also, does anyone even use the inline or infobox parameters? Don't we want all VN boxes the same? The template is overly complex. I think I'll make a new version. I got a ton of stuff back on Commons (e.g. see commons:Template:VN and this page). I'll see what might be useful to bring over or maybe I'll just make something new. The question is what exactly do we need the template to be able to do? Right now, it has too much unused stuff in it I think. Rocket000 03:19, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Well then, I'll need to start spending more time over here with templates. ;) Check out the code of VN on Commons: [2]. Now, our format here is obviously different but the templates are used in exactly the same way. Originally, I had it making 3 columns too. I got it to wrap lines correctly and all that so it could work here if we wanted columns. I thought it made it look nice and it matched {{SN}}, which is normally used along side of it (example), but the columns had to go when we started adding it to pages like commons:Aves. It took up the whole screen for some people. Even now, there's an option to make it even more compact (example). We have more space here, so we have more options. Commons' VN has been used 1000s of times and I never had to add a language yet (but I got bigger and better lists if needed). The auto sort feature is nice too. We can put the languages in any order and they always show up alphabetized by language name, not code. That way you get the best of both worlds. The code can be alphabetized by language code so you don't need to know what they mean (and where those non-Latin characters fit in), but it still displays in the best-looking way.
Doing away with hard-coded English headers would be nice too. On the Commons template, "Vernacular names" (and other things) is auto-translated based on the user's interface. For example, here's what French users see. And German, Spanish, etc.
Anyway, there's lots of possibilities. I'll come up with something in a day or two. Give me ideas and I'll try and implement them. Rocket000 05:20, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Of course, I didn't mean we should use that format. I agree the Aves page looks a little overcrowded. Like I said, originally it wasn't like that but people started to complain that the 3-column format took up their whole screen. Here we have lots more room. Now that I finished up some template work on Commons, I'll start working on it. Rocket000 03:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Do we want them in alphabetized by language code or language name? Either way, it will not affect the usage, only the display. Meaning that the order the user puts them in doesn't matter. Personally, I think by name looks the best and makes finding your language easier if you don't know the codes. Besides, some codes are MediaWiki only. E.g. "zh-min-nan" which is simply "nan" in ISO format. Rocket000 03:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
I know. :) I was asking if we want to keep it that way. Here's my new version which puts them in order by name. I discovered there were a couple invalid (made up) language codes being used in the current version. Namely, {{ck}}, {{nu}}, and {{tv}} (all redirects to valid ISO codes now). So I need to fix these first. Rocket000 17:52, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes check.svg Done :-) Let me know if there's any further improvements you'd like to see. (Or any other templates that need work.) Rocket000 21:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, hopefully we won't get anymore editprotected requests to add languages, but I'm sure at some point in the future someone will want to use some language not currently in there. There's already several represented in Incubator that I didn't include (for performance reasons; there's way way too many languages and variants out there to include them all, some don't even have ISO codes yet). I actively maintain several templates and lists that involve language codes/translations so I stay updated and track what codes are actually in use. I do this by watching for MediaWiki code changes, new interface translations (or new non-Incubator Wikipedias), and any actual use of a language on Meta, Commons, or Species. For example, gil was a code I never saw before (it's not defined anywhere in MediaWiki), so now that's incorporated in most my lists. It's very rare for new ones to pop up like that, however, I will preemptively add any that I think may be used in the future (which I'm going to do pretty soon). In other words, I'll be keeping it updated so you don't really need to watch that talk page anymore. :-) Rocket000 20:30, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Andrew!

Did You find my answer for your question? What do You think about it? I raised the question discuss page of Project animals and Project plants on english Wikipedia, but no answers and intrests. What do You think, why? Is a bad idea identifying organisms by morphological data? Before I fill in some data on florawiki, I need some people who help me find the fundamentals. Best regards!

[edit] Re: Wellcome

Thanks for the wellcome. I am not a biologist (just an amateur ornithologist) and I'll try to help adding vernacular names (ca, es, eu, fr, gl) and images to birds. Great project. Regards. --Samsar 22:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Armenian to languages template

Hi Andrew,
Could you please add the link to the Armenian Main Page on Wikispecies to the languages template? Here's the link: Հայերեն. Thank you! Chaojoker 08:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Main Page is Գլխավոր Էջ, and Armenian is Հայերեն in Armenian (just as the above link). Thanks :) Chaojoker 06:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for the addition. However, guess I forgot to tell you how the name of the language actually sounds, which is "hayeren", so it would probably be more [English] alphabetically correct to have it between Galego and Hebrew. Chaojoker 05:41, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Not sure

Could you check this, please? Ark 18:52, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Are these (user) pages correctly in main namespace? Imo they could be moved to user namespace. Ark 16:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

And what about this and Rhantus elisabethae, Kakadudessus tomweiri? Ark (talk page) 08:55, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

You're right, I'll try. Thanks :) About image: FF and Opera doesn't see it, but downloaded file looks ok (in Irfanview). Ark (talk page) 20:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Main Page draft

Hello, following our discussion I made a rough draft for the Main Page -- User:Mariusm/MainPage1, and I need some feedback from you. It is not by all means a final version. Mariusm 11:05, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Added ZooKeys and made some cosmetic changes.
I can make the "species of the week" a template, so we need to edit the template and not the main page every time we change the species. Mariusm 18:00, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Created a template: Template:Species of the week, so as not to edit the Main Page every time a species is changed.
Changed the "Species of the week" to Polar Bear. Mariusm 10:18, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Created template:MP pictures. Mariusm 10:01, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Main Page revision

Hello Ohana,

What are you planning to do with the main page? Is the revision going to take place, or you've abandoned this project?
