Add topicHi Jcoleh7,
I'm afraid, your recent contribution is out of the scope of Wikispecies. That's why I reverted most of your text. If you can't agree, plese discuss this at the Wikispecies:Village Pump. Thank you --Murma174 (talk) 07:35, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Jcoleh7: Here's more detailed explanation. Please note that Wikispecies is very different from the other sister sites at Wikimedia, especially in comparison to Wikipedia. While Wikipedia is a generally kept "all you can eat" encyclopaedia, Wikispecies is only a database for taxa, taxonomy, biological systematics, type repositories, and information about the authors and references needed to verify that data. Nothing else. We have no need for an abundance of unverifiable data or data that is unrelated to biological taxonomy. In other words: Wikispecies always take on a much more scientific approach, while Wikipedia is more mainstream. For some more information regarding this, please read What Wikispecies is not.
