Afrotropical

[1] Here is better information on Williams' Afrotropical Butterflies. This is primarily a website from which you can download the documents that comprise the checklist. I have just downloaded all the Lycaenid documents. There is a small subscription to 'join' and facilitate the downloads. The documents contain taxonomic data and images. It will be useful in adding data to the Species pages. Accassidy 01:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Have started the process of adding the url to the reference when it is used. See Hypolycaenini. Regards. Accassidy 01:39, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Stephen, I see your change to the Williams reference. It seems to me a bit long-winded, and would suggest a rather more concise compromise along the lines: "Downloaded from Afrotropical butterflies.", inserted after the basic reference citation. This avoids the repetition of Williams name and also the difference in terminology between "checklist" and "encyclopaedia". Can we agree on this shorter style? Alan Accassidy 13:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Stephen, I see you have found a link to Eliot, 1973, on biodiversity library. Very good. I have just been to their home page and searched for authors, authors writing in English, authors beginning with E in the Natural History Museum, London etc etc. None of these searches has found "Eliot J. N." as I would have hoped. Nor could I find "Tite" as an author... I find their search engine particularly ineffective. Can you advise how you found the link or offer any pointers as how best to search BHL? Thanks, Alan Accassidy 19:09, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Stephen

How can i make a connection to Y.F. Tong and S.Q. Li so you have make it now. I don't agree with your additing way of authors.

its depend on which bulletin you have. I had allready bulletins with Yan-Feng Tong and Shu-Qiang Li. So i have to make now a redirect to both.

I use authornames from original chinese bulletins.

Stephen, I am happy to be nominated as an Admin, although my knowledge of the more arcane systems of the Wiki is still pretty limited. However, if it enables me just occasionally to silence The Animal Lover it would be a good thing. Thanks, Alan Accassidy 11:46, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Issini

Stephen,

The tribus Issini have three subtribus Agalmatiina , Hysteropterina and Issina. See Fauna Europaea. Can I add these subtribus?

Cixius

Stephen,

Sofar I know have the genus Cixius different Subgenera: Cixius, Acanthocixius, Alcixius, Ceratocixius, Orinocixius, Paracixius, Sciocixius, Tachycixius, Tetracixius, Ussuricixius and more? In your model there are no subgenera.

Extra period

Is there a reason why you include an extra period in the urls pointing to mapress.com. E.g. you write www.mapress.com./etc instead of www.mapress.com/etc (like [2]). I assume that url works for you, but it doesn't for me since I use Google Docs as my PDF reader (I have a Greasemonkey script for Firefox which converts all PDF links anywhere I go). Others may do the same or have a similar setup (plain old browsers probably have trouble with them too). http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2006f/z01161p049f.pdf works, but http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.mapress.com./zootaxa/2006f/z01161p049f.pdf doesn't. It's not a big deal; I'm not going to go around fixing them or suggest that you do, but do you think you can leave it out in the future? Thanks. Rocket000 23:59, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, someone must be adding the period in whatever links you are following for some reason. Oh, well, nevermind then. Rocket000 00:42, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Carduelis corsicana

Hi Stho - checked up on Avibase, the protonym for this was Citrinella corsicana Koenig, 1899, so the synonym Serinus corsicanus does need brackets for the author (i.e., not as I'd left it before) - MPF 02:04, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks

Thanks for your support. I modified the demo page to include even more ranks--take a look. I guess someone like you, who uses so extensively this site, will appreciate this improvement.

Subgenera

Stephen,

I see Arachn0 is transfered the species with subgenera to species without genera. Who have decided that we don't add species with subgenera? In the original bulletins all the species are mentioned with subgenera. I can understand that he makes species without subgenera and that he redirect those species to the species with subgenera. But the official species are with subgenera.

See: Cerambyx (Cerambyx) nodulosus etc.

When I get an answer?

Why don't you answer me?

There are new subgenera (replacement names) by Özdikmen in Munis Entomology & Zoology. I wait with change those subgenera till i have an answer. I have too several bulletins with subgenera for additing.

Editing species name

Thank you for your contribution on the Zoanthid page. There is still so much to do that any help is welcome. However when modifying species names please make sure those exist before. You modified Parazoanthus puertoricense to P. puertoricensis but this name has never been used. So far I controled all what I wrote and the information present, although far from being complete, are accurate.

Denisova hominin

Hello Mr. Stephen E. Thorpe, of Auckland, New Zealand. I just discovered that you've been so kind to delete my Denisova hominin listing. I'm NOT a specialist nor do I want to claim to understand the nitty gritty in human science. All I know that on the Wikipedia listings Denisova Hominin is regarded as Homo. That's why I chose to use the Homo-line. If Denisova Hominin was to your knowledge something else, I would've prefered you'd correct my page instead of speed deleting it. As a sign of acceptance to your verdict and as I don't want to waste Wikispieces resorces, I will NOT repeat any edit. When it's gone, it's gone! Please be so kind to remove also the links to wikispieces at the Wikipedia's. You might as well remove the complete articles, if Denisova hominin got only 1 source as you wrote as reason. I'm considering withdrawing from the Wikis since a while. Maybe I really should. Kind regards Joerg the BajanZindy (talk) 00:59, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Stho002, I understood. Let's wait for the official latin name and then somebody can add it. Joerg --BajanZindy (talk) 09:20, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

References formatting

Thanks for pointing {{Doi}} to me. I'm from en:WP and thought the template didin't exist over here. In the absence of any sort of guideline regarding references formatting, though, I'll respectfully keep to punctuation more in line with what I'm used to (FWIW it's that of the cite_ templates if you know them). I'll try to remember that the bold is for the volume numbers (I can never keep that straight ^_^;;;). Circeus (talk) 02:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Deleting 'Template:Hygrobatoidea

Stephen, note that there's a apostrophe in front of "Template:", that's the typo I'm talking about. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletion and a question

So I've been happily working with Senecioneae genera. I've been following the format in the Help:Contents pages with the occasional adaptation, but I notice there's a bit more variation around. I was wondering how much variation is considered okay? For example I've avoided using bold in the "Name" section (except for volume number of synonym references), but there's some variation there and I sure wouldn't be opposed to putting "Type locality" and "Holotype" in bold. I'm also not adverse to adding etymological information, but I suspect that's stretching a bit more.

Other details common in the papers I use include type info for synonyms and details such as location of addition type-related material (fragments, pictures, isotypes etc.), which I usually don't include, though the latter is tempting.

Any thoughts?

On a completely unrelated issue, It'd be greatly appreciated is you could delete the typoed template:Cissampeliopsis Circeus (talk) 15:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

So, if I get this right:

• Listing "Type locality" and "holotype" in bold (or even as separate sections): fine
• Extra type material info: fine
• Etymology: not fine (If I come across it again, I'll remove it)

Circeus (talk) 17:36, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

If there's an etymology, the information can be moved to a corresponding Wiktionary entry, as long as it's for a genus or higher level taxon. It would be listed as a ==Translingual== word. Species names, being binomial get a little tricky, but can also be done there. Specific epithets are treated as Latin word entries on Wiktionary. In any event, Wiktionary wants to include these items with etymologies and links to the WS page. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:54, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Entomologische Zeitschrift

Stephen,

I'm sorry but i can't find back the journal on Google. I try it again but i can't answer you directly.

I have found back the side from Entomologische Zeitschrift. There are no abstracts. There are new Coleoptera in EZ 1 and in EZ 2.

You find them on Google under Verlag Ulmer Informationsdienst-Entomologische Zeitschrift. If you are there you have to go to www.entomologische-zeitschrift.de. You have to go now to Inhalt (Inhaltsverzeichnisse english). Now you come by contents.

Contents Boxes

Stephen, Some [Contents] boxes have started appearing at the top of some of the pages I have been editing (see Logania (Lycaenidae) for example) yet I cannot see how these have been coded, nor any changes in the history that would bring them into being. I guess some sort of hidden template. It seems yo me that they have the effect of countering some of the benefit of the collapsed taxonavigation. Do you know how they have come about, or how to remove them? Thanks, Alan. Accassidy (talk) 15:24, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Probably changes in mediawiki. Standard table of contents viewing after 4th header is on. I found this:

How can I hide the table of contents?
For all pages
Add the following rule to MediaWiki:Common.css:
.toc, #toc { display: none; }

I have changed my .css and it works – there is no TOC. Ark (talk page) 19:33, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

It may also be the result of nested uses of Template:Taxonav. I've eliminated that, but it may take the server a while to process the changes, since there are a lot of Lepidoptera. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Wollumbinia vs Myuchelys

Steven,

I left Wollumbinia for a year whilst further publications came out.

I then changed the nomenclature to reflect the most recent publications. Something that is being done across the board of nomenclatural articles on the web.

The name Myuchelys is as we speak being set in place for the IUCN, EoL, and many other relevant bodies. Your refusal to stay up to date and support Wells, is a political decision, is putting Wikispecies out of sink and is becoming vandalism, I have reported it as such. You not only reverted the changes but abused your powers as an admin by protecting the document, hence I have gone to the bureaucrats to intervene. Whether you like or agree with a name is irrelevant, the most recent published documents place Wollumbinia as unpublished a position supported by the ICZN. I have said to the bureaucrats that you are making wikispecies a personal whiteboard to vent your own views and beliefs whether they are valid or not in the eyes of science. You take no criticism of your point of view a sad and very weak position for a scientist as you claim to be. I am aware you are an entomologist, a highly respected one I believe. I have never questioned your position on entomology, your area of expertise, what you write I assume to be up to date and correct. I would have thought that as a scientist you would give the same respect back to specialists in other fields. I am a turtle specialist. To my knowledge you have never published on the family Chelidae, hence what expertise do you have to judge other works on turtles. Works that have been peer reviewed by the journal you seem to support, Zootaxa. I am not entering into discussion here I feel you have abused your privaleges as an admin on wiki and have reported this as such, if I have to I will go to the top admins of wikipedia. Have a nice day Steven.. Faendalimas (talk) 16:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Help

You added a waring to me talk page telling me to "please stop" because "this is not Wikipedia". Can you please explain to me to rules of this site because I can't find the manuals or style guides or whatever it is. I'm an experienced contributor to Wikipedia so I know how to edit wikis and I'm not a vandal. What did I do wrong and what am I meant to be doing instead? Mclay1 (talk) 02:18, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Why are we not meant to create pages for common names? That makes it very difficult to find an organism if you don't know it's scientific name. There are many common name redirects you may want to delete then, such as chicken. Mclay1 (talk) 02:23, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
