[edit] Marsupalia

Go look at talk:Mammalia. Your one small edit was far from complete. Or put it back as it was until we do a complete overhaul a la MSW3. - UtherSRG 22:17, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Images for deletion

Hoe verander ik de status van mijn foto's (heb zelf het copyright en ben bereid ze in het publiek domein te plaatsen)?

het gaat hier meer bepaald om Image:Abludomelita obtusata.png

bedankt Lycaon 12:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Hee, je bent Nederlandstalig :-). Dat wist ik niet.

Je kan ze het beste op commons uploaden. Daar zie je een aantal licenties waaronder je ze vrij kan geven. Als je ze op commons uploadt kunnen ze ook op andere wikiprojecten gebruikt worden, dus vandaar.

Ucucha 13:00, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alessandro70

Dag Ucucha

Blijkt dat minstens één van de Alessandro-afbeelding onder copyright zou kunnen vallen. Het betreft hier:

Image:Alcyonium palmatum.jpg

Zie hiervoor Aquari made in Italy, waar de zin E' assolutamente vietata la riproduzione, anche parziale, del testo e delle foto presenti in questo articolo, senza il consenso dell'autore. voorkomt.

Lycaon 14:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

M'n Italiaans is niet zo goed, maar het klinkt inderdaad alsof er copyright op zit. Sommige andere foto's heeft hij echter misschien zelf gemaakt. Voorlopig plak ik op al z'n afbeeldingen {{UbA70}}; als hij terugkomt kan hij wat meer duidelijkheid geven. Anders kunnen ze over een tijdje wel verwijderd worden. Ik heb op User:Ucucha/Images/UbA70 overigens een lijst met afbeeldingen van hem neergezet. Ucucha (talk) 14:10, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Ik heb er ook eentje gevonden: Image:Echymipera kalubu.jpg komt van http://www.terrambiente.org/fauna/Mammiferi/metatheria/peramelemorphia/images/echymipera_kalubu.jpg . Ik kan op die site voorlopig niets over copyright vinden. Ucucha (talk) 14:15, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Bovenstaande opmerking geldt blijkbaar ook voor Amblonyx cinereus waar dit staat: Photographs: All photographs throughout the site are Copyright © 2001 and must not be used without the express permission of the owner - email : ottersite@btinternet.com op Otters of the World.

Ik wil geen 'heksenjacht' beginnen, maar ik heb slechts twee foto's gecheckt, en beiden bleken copyrighted... De uitleg zal wel volgen, en hopelijk niet in 't Italiaans :-)

't Is natuurlijk jammer van al de tijd en moeite dat hij er heeft ingestoken :-(

Lycaon 14:19, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Tja, als er copyright op zit zullen ze helaas allemaal verwijderd moeten worden. Ik heb eerlijk gezegd niet echt veel zin om ze allemaal na te gaan kijken. Ik zal hem een mailtje sturen om te vragen hoe het met de andere afbeeldingen zit. Ucucha (talk) 14:30, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] nowcommons

Vraagje.

Kan ik zelf mijn eigen images voorzien van de nowcommons template? Kwestie van je eventueel wat werk te besparen. Al mijn foto's staan nu ook in de Commons (met dezelfde naam) en alle nieuwe worden daar uiteraard ook geüploaded. Lycaon 13:56, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Graag, dank je wel. Er is blijkbaar een anonieme gebruiker langsgekomen die op vrijwel alle afbeeldingen {{noinfo}} heeft geplakt; ik heb nu de letter A, B, V, X, Y en Z af (User:Ucucha/Images). Als je wil meehelpen, graag. Ucucha (talk) 13:58, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] taxoboxen

Wat moet er met de gisteren rond halfzeven geïntroduceerde taxoboxen van user:Andreas Plank, zoals gebruikt in:Chironomidae? Lycaon 14:31, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Wat mij betreft kan die er af en vervangen door de gewone taxonavigatie. Misschien is het wel handig om een tekst als de volgende:

Regnum:	Animalia
Phylum:	Chordata
Classis:	Mammalia
Ordo:	Soricomorphia
Familia:	Soricidae
Genus:	Sorex

Dat zou dan met een tekst als {{Taxonavigation start}} {{Regnum|Animalia}} {{Phylum|Chordata}} {{Classis|Mammalia}} {{Ordo|Soricomorphia}} {{Familia|Soricidae}} {{Genus|Sorex}} {{Taxonavigation end}}

moeten worden opgeroepen, en dat gaat dan weer via een Sjabloon:Soricidae dat als inhoud het lijstje met hogere taxa daarboven heeft. Daarmee kan voorkomen worden dat je voor elk taxon dat je ergens tussen wilt schuiven overal een : meer neer moet zetten. Dat lijkt me zeer onhandig. Een gewone taxobox moeten we in ieder geval niet toelaten denk ik. Ucucha (talk) 14:40, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Help!

When an article is in a language with the latein name, does I written in the vernaculars names in latein or not (because it is not the vernacular names) ?, for exemple I have written a link to fr in the Allocebus article with the latein name. Does I continue or not ? Enschuldigung für das schlechte Englisch :) [Seb35 ^_^] 14:55, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Such interwikis should be included, yes. I have proposed to change the heading into "interwikis", a much more descriptive name. Ucucha (talk) 15:05, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

That site (fr:Allocebus), also mentions french names. I changed the vernacular name to the french, but linking to the Allocebus page like: [[fr:Allocebus|fr:chirogale à oreilles velues]].
What about that?
Lycaon 15:18, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Seems good. Ucucha (talk) 15:20, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. [Seb35 ^_^] 10:34, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome on board!

Hi Ucucha - you should be sysop now, if there are any problems (ie. you lack sysop rights), please don't hesitate to contact me! Good luck and thanks for the effort! --Benedikt 17:36, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image

An image of yours is considered for deletion because the copyright information is insufficient. Please react at wikispecies:Images for deletion. Ucucha (talk) 13:45, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• I have just updated its copyright info. (I assume it was the one at Bufo calamita) --Tycho 23:42, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] restored redirect

You restored Araignée. Why? - UtherSRG (talk) 13:51, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

See your own talk ;-). Ucucha (talk) 14:09, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Decline adminship

Thanks for asking, but I don't want that level of responsibility yet. Maybe later Open2universe 01:04, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

That's a pity, but thanks for your answer, in any case. Ucucha (talk) 13:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pusa & Pagophilus

I beg to differ. I found this: concerning McKenna & Bell, on the Internet this morning, indicating subgeneric level for aforementioned taxa.
I guess I should get their publication (ISBN 0231110138) and study it thoroughly ;-).
BTW, your point on redirection is taken, I've just been spending some time on orphaned pages, so I've been cleaning maybe a tad to rash...
Lycaon 08:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Ah yes, you're right. Duff & Lawson's Mammals of the World: a Checklist uses Pusa as a genus, and they follow McKenna & Bell for higher classification, but I just read that they follow Reeves et al. (2002) instead for marine mammals. In any case, that's also a good source. Maybe we should put {{Validity disputed}} on it until MSW 3 is out (in November) and follow the classification used there? Ucucha (talk) 08:32, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Fine by me. — Lycaon 08:34, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

for the upgrade :-)

I hope to finish Rotifera to species level this weekend. So little time, so much to do... — Lycaon 13:26, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

If you want, I can make some pages with my bot (when it works again ;-)). It's easier, I think.

Do you want to delete some images? It's also a nice job ;-). Ucucha (talk) 13:39, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Latinizing

Is there a way (using your bot, e.g.) to change all instances of the word family to familia, etc.? This to get a consistent naming system covering the whole of Wikispecies. I saw a lot of Family and Subfamily being used in Proteaceae, to name one.

At a further stage, it would be more complicated to change singular into plural where appropriate, I guess?

Lycaon 07:57, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

1 is possible; I'll do it.

2 is probably impossible, I fear, unless someone writes a more sophisticated bot (I use the pywikipedia bot framework). Ucucha (talk) 09:55, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Replace.py doesn't work either :-(. Ucucha (talk) 11:58, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Now it does :-). I've just started replacing "Family"; I'll do the others when family is ready. Ucucha (talk) 06:26, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Great, thanx. - Lycaon 11:22, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Ik heb een foutje gemaakt op Ploima met de template (dit is ondertussen rechtgezet). Echter, alle onderliggende taxa (familia, genus en species) hebben nu twee dubbele punten (::) te kort. Kan dat met een bot worden geremediëerd?. M.a.w. :

• ::::::Familia -> ::::::::Familia         (kan Familia of Familiae zijn)
• :::::::Gen -> :::::::::Gen         (kan Genus of Genera zijn)
• ::::::::Species -> ::::::::::Species

Indien ja, dan zijn de Rotifera ingevoerd tot op soortniveau (zonder soortbeschrijvingen weliswaar). - Lycaon 20:24, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Ik ben bezig; ik denk dat alles zal lukken. Gefeliciteerd weer eens :-). Ucucha (talk) 15:43, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanx

Thanx for the welcome, Ucucha! :) -Piolinfax 10:26, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi there! How can I add the copyright to the old logo? In case this is still necessary at all... Thanks for the notification! Best, Benedikt

[edit] Copyright information

Hi there! How can I add the copyright to the old logo? In case this is still necessary at all... Thanks for the notification! Best, --Benedikt 08:07, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Put the {{CopyrightByWikimedia}} tag on it (that's standard practice for logos). Ucucha (talk) 16:52, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Create a bot to changes taxon authority articles

Hi there, happy new year. I saw the change you made to William Swainson and agree with it. Do you think you could write a bot to change all the taxon authority articles? You can find them listed in catalog:Taxon Authorities. Thanks, Open2universe 20:30, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Theriiformes

Hi. Was there a reason you deleted Theriiformes from the subclasses of Mammalia? I was wondering, just seems odd that an entire subclass would be deleted with no explanation. If so, please do tell. 128.255.194.41

Ok, thanks for your quick reply however, due to the deletion of Theriiformes link from the mammalia page the link Multituberculata is now orphaned. This needs to be remedied. 128.255.194.41

[edit] WS in DEUTSCH?!!!!!

Hallo! Sag, mal ist es dir auch schon aufgefallen, dass heir alles in englisch ist. Nebnbei, mich stört das gewaltig, denn ich will nicht mit meinem Wörterbuch hier arbeiten. Warum ist ein WIKI-Projekt nicht mehrsprachig? Das ist doch kaum vorstellbar. Kannst du mir helfen/sagen, wie man die Links und Artikel nun verdeutschen kann. Dies gilt auch für andere Sprachen.

Ein Beispiel: VIRUS. Wenn ich auf der deutschen Hauptseite auf den Link oben Links gehe, dann kommte der englische Artikel von WS über Virus. I diesem Artikel weiter unten kommt dann der Link zum deutschen Artikel, der aber, wider meines Verständnisses, auf den deutschen WIKIPEDIA-Artikel führt. (Beispielende)

Die Abstimmung im Village Pump - Link auf deutscher Haupseite - ist auch eingeschlafen.

Weiterhin stellen hier manche Artikel rein, wo nur der Stamm der Art steht rein. Da fehlt doch noch die Hälfte!!

Das habe ich mir eigentlich anders vorgestellt. BITTE um schnelle Antwort (in deutsch).

Post Scriptum: Wenn hier alles in englisch ist geht diesem Projekt ein großer Teil der Beiteiligung flöten! -- Joschy 10:50, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut (ich bin niederländisch), aber ich werde versuchen Dir zu antworten. Schneller habe ich nicht antworten können, weil ich im Schwarzwald war.

Die Idee war, dass wass in Wikispecies gehört für alle Sprachen das selbe ist. Die Taxonomische Hierarchie ist immer Regnum Animalia, Phylum Chordata etc. In allen Sprachen heisst der Australische Biberrat Hydromys chrysogaster É. Geoffroy.

Das ist die Idee, aber das kann ja nicht immer so sein. Diskussionen sind immer in Englisch (aber wenn man das will kann's auch in anderen Sprachen, glaube ich). Vielleicht sollen wir doch noch andere Versionen für andere Sprachen machen. Ucucha (talk) 20:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry wegen meiner späten Reaktion! Bin jetzt Admin auf Wikisource.^^ Also ich finde, amn sollt alles in alle Sprachen schreibn. Eben wie die anderen Wikis.... Aber ich weiß nicht, wiee ich so eine Seite übersetztn soll, wenn ich andauernd auf die englische komme! Weißt du wie.? Oder soll ich bei jedem Link noch :de schreiben um dann endlich das deutsche zu starten? --Joschy 14:12, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Es soll überhaupt kein Englisch mehr geben auf die Artikel-Seiten in Wikispecies. Ich glaube wir brauchen darum kein Sprachen-Versionen. Es würde nicht richtig etwas anderes sein. Ucucha (talk) 18:00, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sysop-beslommeringen

Dag Ucucha, kan jij nu en dan 'ns een kijkje nemen op Wikispecies? Ik ben er niet tot 16 maart. Ik zit op zee voor een monitoring campagne. Misschien is het tijd om open2universe nog 'ns te polsen naar sysop-schap. Ook Keith Edkins, die ondertussen al meer dan 17.000 (!!) posts heeft op Wikispecies, lijkt mij een goede kandidaat.

P.S. Walker's gaat morgen op de post, Marsupialia heb ik blijkbaar niet gedownloaded + hier en daar nog iets, maar de CD is toch goed voor meer dan 12.000 files. — Lycaon 17:41, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Ik zal eens kijken wat ik kan doen. Ik denk wel dat het belangrijk is dat Wikispecies een paar goede admins heeft, zodat er altijd iemand is.

Alvast bedankt voor Walker's; die zal wel in een paar dagen komen (ik weet niet hoe lang dat duurt vanuit België). Ucucha (talk) 20:23, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin

Yes, I will nominate myself. With Lycaon being out we could use another admin. Thanks for asking Open2universe 01:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I've voted in favour. You'll probably be an admin at the 8th of March. Ucucha (talk) 13:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Murinae

I was mostly working from the MSV web site at [1] except where I spotted some relevant reclassification papers. I did realise after I did the last change to Murinae that I was undoing some of your changes and that MSW3 might undo some of the synonymies. If this is so perhaps the best course would be to revert my last change and then create the missing genera. Sorry about that.--Keith Edkins (Talk) 18:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

All of them, actually ;-). I'll soon create the additional genera. If you also want to create pages for other muroids groups (sigmodontines or so), I can send you the chapter on muroids from MSW 3. There are however quite a lot of new species there. Ucucha (talk) 19:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Don't know where I thought I saw Pithecheirops = Pithecheir. I can't find it again now.--Keith Edkins (Talk) 20:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

All newly recognized genera are done now (and also two fossil genera, Hooijeromys and Malpaisomys). Ucucha (talk) 20:06, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Thanks a lot Ucucha, I won't let you guys down :-) --Lightdarkness 14:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Seems like an appropriate place to add another "thank you"... BD2412 T 08:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 :-). Ucucha (talk) 16:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Watch Out!

Hay thanks for the "WARM WELCOME." Calling me "Pointless" ans "Vandalistic" really brightned my day! FatAss 17:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I realize my edit to the species chart was not correct. It was my first thing, sorry. However, I was changing words to proper form (you're to you are) on the other pages? FatAss 17:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

That isn't really "proper form". "you're" is just more informal English. Ucucha (talk) 17:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Exactally, I wanted to make it more formal because isent this supposed to be a formal work? 216.164.203.90 17:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

The articles are, talk isn't. Talk shouldn't be formalized. The articles should in fact not even contain English (the headings are probably the only part of the articles which isn't language-independent). Ucucha (talk) 17:47, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, ok I get it, there are the articals. and pages like this, for inside communication. 216.164.203.90 17:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

sorry, relized I wasent logged on. FatAss 17:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and also Wikispecies:Village Pump, which you seem to have already discovered. By the way, you have apparently logged out accidentally. You discovered that already ;-) Ucucha (talk) 17:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logo discussion

Hi! I just wanted to draw your attention to a change to the logo I proposed at the village pump, since you seem to be one of the active administrators on this project. Looking forward to hearing your opinion on this! —Nightstallion (?) 13:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] images

Hi Ucucha,

could you maybe explain a little more to me what the imagepolicy is on this wiki? What kind of images is allowed? Thanks a lot. Effeietsanders 19:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Effeietsanders,

In fact, we have the same policy as Commons: we allow PD, GFDL and CC (but not ND and NC). Therefore, there's in fact no reason to upload anything here: you can also upload your pics to Commons. Some time ago I went through all the images we then had (most of which were "noinfo") and deleted most of them. We don't have many images left now. Ucucha (talk) 05:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, i'm meaning the other way around. When can you use a picture on an article? Is a nice photo suitable? Should I use a draw with parts of the body named? etc. Effeietsanders 22:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Just a nice photo - we should use what we have. There are also templates for linking to Commons. Ucucha (talk) 08:47, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cursiefje - lijst

Dag. Beter laat dan nooit. Alle genera (en onderliggende soorten) van de Apseudinae, behalve Androgynella en Apseudes, zijn in het zelfde bedje ziek: de familienaam (Apseudidae) staat in cursief. de twee andere subfamilies heb/had ik al aangepast. Dank bij voorbaat. Lycaon 21:02, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Ik ga er zo mee bezig. Heb je trouwens misschien de auteur voor het geslacht Muramura? Dat is namelijk ook een fossiel buideldierengeslacht (Muramura Pledge in Archer, 1987, Mammalia: Diprotodontia: Wynyardiidae). Ucucha (talk) 17:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, hij doet het niet. Ucucha (talk) 17:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Dat kwam doordat ik de bot naar species.wikipedia.org in plaats van species.wikimedia.org stuurde. Nu zegt hij echter Skipping locked page Hainanius (enz.). Wat daar nou weer de reden voor is.... Ucucha (talk) 18:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Muramura, Gutu 2006 in Gutu, M. (2006). New Apseudomorph Taxa of the World Ocean: Crustacea, Tanaidacea. Curtea Veche, Bucharest, Romania. Lycaon 18:11, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Dan vrees ik dat de heer Gutu een nieuwe naam zal moeten verzinnen. ;-) Bedankt.

Ik heb net de nieuwste botsoftware gedownload en mijn bestandje voor Wikispecies geüpdatet, maar hij blijft zeggen dat alle pagina's "locked" zijn (anders dan op Wikipedia). Ik zou niet weten wat er aan de hand zou kunnen zijn. Ucucha (talk) 18:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry om in de discussie in te breken, maar Ucucha...bestaat er de mogelijkheid dat ik ergens de broncode van je 'bot' te pakken krijg? Ik ben erg benieuwd wat 'ie allemaal kan, en vooral, op wat voor manier hij de workload kan verlichten. Kempm 18:45, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Zie nl:Help:Gebruik van bots. Je hebt dan ook een extra bestandje (wikispecies_family.py) nodig om Wikispecies erbij te krijgen. En we moeten erachter zien te komen waarom alles "locked" is... Ucucha (talk) 18:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh leuk, dank U. Ik zal me eventjes moeten inlezen in het een en ander. Kempm 18:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is any bot exist?

I made an Excel table with Araneoidea genera & species. Is any bot for translation this records to Wikispecies pages? --Arachn0 11:24, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Not currently, since the existing bot framework for some reason does not work on Wikispecies now. I am sorry I cannot help you. Ucucha (talk) 16:17, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Username change request

Hi Ucucha,
Would you mind changing my user name to Hesperian, as I have just made that change on the English Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. Snottygobble 00:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Done. Ucucha (talk) 15:45, 16 Octobr 2006 (UTC)

Didn't work. I remember reading somewhere that there is an upper limit of edits (1500 or 2000 or so), above which you cannot rename anymore ... Lycaon 21:09, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

WFM. Thanks, Drew (Snottygobble 23:27, 16 October 2006 (UTC))

Lycaon: actually, it did ;-) ("15:44, 16 October 2006 Ucucha (Talk | contribs | block) (Renamed the user "Snottygobble" (which had 3,413 edits) to "Hesperian")" from Special:Log/renameuser). There has been an upper limit for this, but that's not so any more.

Hesperian: You're welcome :-) Ucucha (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Tijd niet gezien hier. Heb je de discussies gevolgd over de nieuwe layout? Of vind je het helemaal niets? --Kempm 19:38, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Was ik het, heel, heel lang geleden, zelf niet die het probleem aangaf? ;-) Ik vind het een verbetering. Het ziet er misschien minder mooi uit, maar het is veel praktischer (je hoeft je ook niet meer bezig te houden met het aantal :'s dat je op een pagina moet zetten).

Zelf draag ik al een tijd niets meer bij aan de inhoud van Wikispecies (al bekijk ik nog wel elke dag mijn volglijst). Ik schrijf liever Wikipedia-artikelen. Ucucha (talk) 08:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Ik begrijp het. Maar je bent admin, en een goeie. En ik heb feedback nodig. Dus meng je vooral in de discussie, en laat je ervaring gelden. Je hebt gemerkt dat we een bot hebben gevonden die nu werkt op species. Omdat je ervaring hebt met bots, zou je eens kunnen nadenken hoe wij zo'n ding met deze huidige veranderingen het beste kunnen gebruiken? Ik heb opdracht gegeven om alle : weg te halen, maar krijg wat kritiek, omdat sommige pagina's nu wel erg slecht eruit zien. (In ieder geval optisch). Misschien is er echter een betere manier om gebruik te maken van een bot? --Kempm 09:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Tja, je moet een methode vinden om te voorkomen dat de regels achter elkaar komen. Ik zie dat de voorbeelden daarvoor <br /> gebruiken, maar dat is waarschijnlijk moeilijk te botten. Het makkelijkste is denk ik om gewoon voor elke regel een * te zetten (zoals ook op het voorbeeld op User:Kempm/Request_For_Change_II#Straight_list. Dat maakt het misschien ook makkelijker voor een script om straks de taxonavigatie te herkennen bij de omzetting naar Wikidata. Ucucha (talk) 12:52, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, I should probably know how to do this but I don't understand how MediaWiki works for special messages.

[edit] Classification is never provided

Hi,
It is a desperate call that I make here. Wikispecies is doing wrong, many french admin think so, and I can't let it happen without reacting. I already posted something here, without success.
Wikispecies has for purpose to provide the classification of taxons, right?
But each taxon has a different content and parents depending on the classification. And there are a lot of classifications for each taxons.:

• Here is a small list of those classifications.
• Here is an perfect sample that shows that a taxon name doesn't mean much if you don't provide the classification name.
• commons:Category:Liliopsida Here is a sample that commons now provides the classification. And of course, there are classical classification and phylogenetic classifications.

1. From what I understand in reading your articles, wikispecies provides only one classification for each taxon (in wikifrance, we provide 1 classical and 1 phylogenetical classif per taxon)
2. But you never provide the classification followed.

I think it is urgent that you provide the classification followed by each article in the article. You will discover that all your articles follow different classification.
Look at Liliopsida. It is a total shame. The classification is not provided. The reason is that nobody ever described it that way. Cheers Liné1 06:55, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

It seems that you are saying that we should state if we use a "classical" or a "phylogenetic" classification. However, that's a quite dubious dichotomy, since there are in most, if not all, cases, more than two classifications, and choosing either of those is not always easily translated into choosing a classical or a phylogenetic classification. We use one classification (which in my opinion is one of the weakest points of Wikispecies), with the choice depending above all on the authors of the pages.

[edit] Greetings

Hello, can you add also Greek here?--Consta 10:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you please add some more details to your request? What text should be added in which MediaWiki message? Ucucha (talk) 16:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I think you forgot to login when you add this [2]. If that IP indeed is yours, please remove the warning tag and undo my changes. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 19:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

It should be noted, however, that the user is blocked. EVula // talk // ☯ // 19:39, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, the IP isn't actually mine. I just blocked the vandal, cleaned up his remains and deleted his userpage. Perhaps I should have noted the block on his talk, but I forgot to. Ucucha (talk) 15:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re. to my user talk page

Meh, go ahead. I forgot I even registered this account. Besides, I (finally) managed to cut the habit (of trolling). I really don't care. Connell66 20:57, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Good luck then. I don't see any reasons to block your account. Ucucha (talk) 14:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

There is very little for me to contribute here. I have little knowledge of biological beings. Do you know of anything I could do? Connell66 04:48, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you can look for vernacular names in Wikipedia or other sources and add them to the articles in the {{VN}} template. Ucucha (talk) 13:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for usurpation

Hi, I haven't found any dedicated page, so I ask directly to the first crat's in the list... In order to complete SUL, I would like to rename my account by "Malta" as it is my main account on wikipedia:fr and other projects. Could you please explain me how to do that ? Thanks Malta fr 05:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I have renamed the existing account (with 1 edit) to User:Malta old. I cannot rename your account here, because it is reserved for a global account (yours, I presume). Ucucha (talk) 14:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Great, thank you. Malta 15:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Ucucha, next time please forward all rename requests to Wikispecies:Changing username so that we can keep track of the renames due to SUL. There's also a policy that says renames can be done right away for any accounts with 0 edits. If the account has any edits, we have to give them 7 days of notice so that they can accept or reject the rename. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I saw the message you let on WP:fr, do you want me to move my request to the right page ? 82.228.190.187 15:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

OhanaUnited: I'm sorry, I hadn't noticed that page yet (which isn't surprising, considering that you created it yesterday).

Malta: I don't think there's anything we can do here: we are unable to rename your account here. Sicne you made only two edits with it, perhaps it is easiest to simply re-register using "Malta". Ucucha (talk) 19:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi don't care about the 2 edits, what I wanted was to prevent any other Malta to usurp my username on this wiki. So I am very happy with the solution you have provided. Thanks again, and have a nice day, Malta 06:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please rename me

Hi, I have changed my username at my homewiki and want to do it here to. Please rename me to Calandrella. Here is confirmation. Thanks, Leo Johannes 08:36, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
