Yurij Nikolaevich Gorbunov

Hello, I noticed that you requested the deletion of the page Yuriĭ Nikolaevich Gorbunov. While this name is mistransliterated (thanks for spotting that and for the correction!), that spelling is still used in the IPNI database. For that reason, I think that the redirect should be kept for the moment; a user might do a search with that particular spelling. I understand your request, but I don't think the redirect is "unnecessary", at least as long as IPNI uses that spelling. Best regards, Korg (talk) 09:03, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

IPNI is already notified, and will change the spelling shortly. IFPNI Staff (talk) 09:58, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Ok, thank you! Korg (talk) 07:50, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

IPNI standard form

Hello, I was wondering why you added the IPNI standard form in the biography of parasitologists like John Henry Steel or Jean-Jules Chauvrat, as they are not in the IPNI database: J.H.Steel, Chauvrat. Will they be registered some day? Thanks, Korg (talk) 23:49, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Korg. They are in AlgaeBase and bound to be added soon. I am new here, so I do not know how to link the Trypanosoma genus page here, you will find them there. Cheers! Capzeneis (talk) 06:01, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

IPNI received regularly updates with new authors, so IPNI template is always used. They are not fast in edits, please be patient. Anna Pavlova IFPNI Staff (talk) 07:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Capzeneis and Anna! Thank you, I see! So we deliver the information even before the reference site, that's great :-) All the best, Korg (talk) 11:15, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Just to notice: these authors right now in the IPNI visible. Anna Pavlova IFPNI Staff (talk) 09:13, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes I saw them in IPNI, I updated the Wikidata items. Best wishes and thanks for your work! Korg (talk) 09:27, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Animalia NAME section

Hello. Please don't mix the format of Animalia species with the format of Plantae species when editing the Name section, like you did on Myxobolus rachmani which belong to the Animalia!

You formatted the Name section as:

• Myxobolus rachmani Allamuratov, Dokl. Akad. Nauk Uzbeksk. SSR 1966(1): 58, fig. 1b (1966)

While the correct format for Animalia is:

• Myxobolus rachmani Allamuratov, 1966: 58

Thanks, Mariusm (talk) 17:03, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

No problem. Although while the complete citation is available, it is easy for users to get more info about the protologue. Anna Pavlova IFPNI Staff (talk) 20:21, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

​I have edited the Myxobolus rachmani page (see this diff.) so that it now follows the Wikispecies standard format. All original information is retained. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 01:19, 17 November 2023 (UTC).

Jeffreysina starobogatovi, Nassa zhizhchenkoi and Obtortio iljinae

Please reconsider the following pages which you created:

• Jeffreysina starobogatovi is invalid because Jeffreysina is an unaccepted genus name (replaced by Rissoella J. E. Gray, 1847), but Rissoella starobogatovi is unaccepted by all authorities.
• Nassa zhizhchenkoi is invalid because Nassa is an unaccepted genus name (replaced by Nassarius Duméril, 1805), but Nassarius zhizhchenkoi is unaccepted by all authorities.
• Obtortio iljinae is invalid because Obtortio is an unaccepted genus name (replaced by Finella A. Adams, 1860), but Finella iljinae is unaccepted by all authorities.

I would like to delete all these 3 names. Mariusm (talk) 16:36, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Dear colleague,

the situation is not simple : the deletion of taxa could not solve the overall problem of the conservative treatment by some palaeontologists of the genera, and their continuation to accept splitted genera rather than genera, proposed by you. At hands now I could not confirm/reject your statements that 'these fossil-species are unaccepted by all authorities; more time is needed to look into undigitized palaeontological literature. Perhaps, these publications were not available to such authorities, and these fossil-species are still might be found in new combinations with your suggested extant genera anywhere, and therefore re-routed to new names.

Categories for renamed taxon author pages

Hi, and thank you for providing full names of taxon authors from Russia, Ukraine and others! Just for the future though when you're renaming taxon author pages, could you also rename the "Author taxa" and "Eponyms of author" categories that go with them? That way, duplicate categories don't have to be made. Monster Iestyn (talk) 23:28, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Dear colleague, I also rename them - thank you for notice. Anna Pavlova IFPNI Staff (talk) 06:17, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Małgorzata Moczydłowska on IFPNI

Hello again. I just thought I'd let you know, Małgorzata Moczydłowska was born in 1951 according to her CV (which can be downloaded here: https://webb.uu.se/LR-EmployeeInformation-portlet/people/N96-3884/cv ), not 1949 as IFPNI states right now. Monster Iestyn (talk) 21:41, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Dear colleague,

thank you for correction - previous 1949 record was reported by the Panstwowy Institut Geologiczny in Warsaw, Poland; perhaps, their records were wrong. I corrected data. Anna Pavlova IFPNI Staff (talk) 22:48, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Primary References on taxon pages.

Please use Primary References exclusively for the protologue and relevant amendments. Anything else should go into the Additional References or Links sub-section, for example citation of the basionym, where the name has changed and other relevant material. See my re-ordering for Koenigia coriaria Thanks Andyboorman (talk) 11:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! A very good example. IFPNI Staff (talk) 19:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Alcea litwinowii and others

Please note that POWO and others do not follow your spelling of the epithet. However, it is in IPNI but as a hybrid. Andyboorman (talk) 08:15, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

POWO is in error: the ICN required to follow the original spelling of species epithet, in our case Iljin used in 1924 and 1949 litwinowi(i). So, the IPNI is correct. We usually inform IPNI as a primary source of taxonomic information about errors, but in this case they are good. POWO and others are secondary sources imported info mostly from the IPNI - in our case I could not understand their chages of litwinowi(i) to litvinovi(i). IFPNI Staff (talk) 08:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Do you suggest that it is a hybrid and should be treated so, or have things changed since the original publication? Andyboorman (talk) 08:42, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

I amended the current hybrid status. Yesterday I started initially to edit the eponymic links, and met some ill-defined names, which were not planned for edits. IFPNI Staff (talk) 08:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Great I will ask POWO to update their entries. Thanks. Andyboorman (talk) 09:53, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Just heard back from POWO and they will update it should appear on their next updates. Thanks. Andyboorman (talk) 11:58, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Perfect! POWO is great! Thank you for your suggestions! IFPNI Staff (talk) 07:52, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Rosa and Sections

I have added a request on the Pump that you be able to help with. In addition, it is perfectly acceptable to use the term Paleospecies or genus. Andyboorman (talk) 09:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear colleague, I just follow the terms in the ICN: fossil-species and fossil-genera, no pal(a)eospecies or pal(a)eogenera. Fossil-taxa too. It seems to me more desirable and logical to follow the ICN in the nomenclatural terminology. IFPNI Staff (talk) 09:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks fr your reply. We do not have a rule here one way or another, but point taken about ICN. Maybe we can discuss on the Pump sometime and ask a bot to change if required. Andyboorman (talk) 09:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Good idea! I agree! IFPNI Staff (talk) 09:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Хадижат Магомедовна Саидова

Hello, I want to create a page for a Russian author, can you please give a translation in english of the full name of this author: ru:Саидова, Хадижат Магомедовна? Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:20, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

No problem: Khadizhat Magomedovna Saidova (1925—2022). Anna Pavlova IFPNI Staff (talk) 19:36, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Great, thanks you Anna, I will create the page soon. Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

 Done: Khadizhat Magomedovna Saidova Christian Ferrer (talk) 04:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

I just edited Saidova's template of her 1981 monograph with full bibliographic data and free access link to the Google Books. Thank you for adding important zoo former Soviet monographs to WS! Anna Pavlova IFPNI Staff (talk) 21:22, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
