User talk:Kingaspis
Welcome to Wikispecies!
Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:
- Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
- Templates are there to help you to follow our syntax and formatting standards.
- Have a look at Done and to do.
If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.
If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.
Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome!
- Welkom to wikispecies Kingaspis, i see you are a fossilcollector as well, i'm pleased with that. I see you adding a lot of trilobites to our project, but i'm missing one vital information: your reference, i don't think you just made the names yourself so probably they're from a book or a site, you realy must add these under the "Reference header, thank you, cheers, Henk_K 17:19, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi again, I just saw another peace of important information missing as well, this is not your fault, this is a missing header in wikispecies layout: namely because the species are only known fossil it's important to show in wich timezone it exsists, i will add this header to your trilobite species, i hope you have the information to add to it, thank ahead, Henk_K 17:25, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi and thanks for your support. Can I find a template for fossil taxa anywhere? I think, the used headers for timezone have different descriptions (depending on the author). I will add references to species as soon as possible - I just added only species, that I realy know (without literature)
- I'm working very hard at it, and some of the changes are in discussion as well, i like you to take a look in the Village pump, and give your opinion about the changes i've proposed, Henk_K 18:31, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
trilobites info[edit]
Hi, i've got here a link to a site about trilobites, of where a lot of information can be found and added to wikispecies, you can even use the link as a reference, good luck, Henk_K 18:17, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
warum ein Species-Artikel nur aus Headers bestehen soll[edit]
Hi. It is actually a bit more complicated than that. The scope for Wikispecies is a systematical listing of all organisms that can be used for every other Wiki project. Therefore the use of English has to be limited to the minimum and the links to species pages on all Wiki projects maximized. It is in the latter that al the extra information should go. In a later stadium (the sooner the better of course), Wikispecies will be converted to a database format, rather than the linear wiki we have now. Headers have to be standardized for this. This is something we have agreed some time ago and a lot of effort and time has been invested into this . Personally, I would love to have all the other info incorporated into wikispecies, but this is not possible with the current system.
To answer your other remark, about a list that you can find elsewhere, that is also not exactly true. On several groups, the wikispecies list is the most complete one of them all (several plant taxa, Crustacea and others). They are often being updated from recent literature (eg. by User Isfisk).
Sorry not to have answered in German, I can read all, but writing it is not my strongest. Regards Lycaon 07:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
