Virus page in Arabic version "فيروسات"[edit]
If you goto Arabic version you will get this GUI . By clicking on الحيوانات you will get this page . If you click on فيروسات will get a new page which is not editable ( Protected page ). We want Arab users to be able even read English article (Virus) Omda4wady (talk) 08:14, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- This is also being discussed on User talk:Burmeister#Virus page in Arabic version "فيروسات" and above all User talk:Pigsonthewing#Virus page in Arabic version "فيروسات". The user Omda4wady has since been promoted to Translation Administrator.(verify) –Tommy Kronkvist, 12:28, 9 March 2020 (UTC).
Thanks for adding "المراجع " term[edit]
I will complete translation then tell you the new terms Omda4wady (talk) 18:09, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Omda4wady: You're welcome. When you're done with the translations, please add your notes to the Translation Administrators' Noticeboard rather than here, since the noticeboard is monitored by all of the admins, not only me. :-) Tommy Kronkvist, 17:43, 14 March 2020 (UTC).
Template:Jaloszynski, 2013[edit]
Tommy,
Can you restore Template:Jaloszynski, 2013. It was a mistake from me. Thanks, PeterR (talk) 09:03, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
- @PeterR:
Done. - I've restored the {{Jaloszynski, 2013}} Zootaxa template per your request. Please note that even though the {{Jałoszyński, 2013}} template citing the Genus journal has a very similar name, the two templates are of course not identical. Tommy Kronkvist, 10:53, 17 March 2020 (UTC).
Done.Frank R. Stokvis[edit]
Tommy,
Can you move every thing from Frank R. Stokvis to Frank Robert Stokvis. PeterR (talk) 14:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- @PeterR: They seem to be two different persons, both with "Frank Robert Stokvis" as their full name. We list Frank R. Stokvis as a British entomologist, while Frank Robert Stokvis is listed as a Dutch cnidariologist. –Tommy Kronkvist‚ 19:42, 25 March 2020 (UTC).
Revert at Wikispecies:Administrators[edit]
Can I ask about https://species.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikispecies:Administrators&oldid=prev&diff=7463721 ? The user is globally banned, as I explained on the talk page. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 18:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- @DannyS712: We can't simply erase requests for adminship and user polls. That's against Wikimedia policy and somewhat analogous to the fact that we normally don't erase material from talk pages either. Instead we archive the material so that everyone can follow what's been discussed. In exceptional cases (personal attacks, threats, and such) we can hide material from non-admin users, but in general we don't go so far as to flat-out erase evidence of user activites. Especially not in the Wikispecies and Wikimedia namespaces.
- Please see this diff for my edit to the Administrators' page, after I had reverted your removal of the user's request for adminship. It keeps the adminship request intact, but describes why the request can't be dealt with. Kind regards, Tommy Kronkvist, 18:52, 23 March 2020 (UTC).
Correct formatting on taxon authority pages[edit]
Hello Tommy, Please see taxon authority page (George Orlo Poinar, Jr.). I am following your example but can't get the words "Parasitologist" and "Helminthologist" to appear in lower case. What am I doing wrong? Please advise. Kind regards Nytexcome (talk) 01:26, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hello @Nytexcome. You're not doing anything wrong! Having said that, there's not much you can do to fix the upper/lower case problem here, since whether to use caps or not for
{{int:}}objects is governed by the Localization database rather than what we add to the actual taxon- and author pages. I've been thinking of this for a while but fixing it hasn't been on the top of my list. Your note here have changed that, so please give me a day and I'll have it sorted. Kind regards, Tommy Kronkvist, 17:01, 29 March 2020 (UTC).- @Nytexcome: Done. As far as I know all of the 192 English terms in the localization database (listed here) are now presented using the correct capitalisation. Please give me a heads-up if you find any errors, and I'll be happy to rectify them. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 23:17, 30 March 2020 (UTC).
- @Nytexcome:
Author page- and category redirects[edit]

Request for Bulgarian terms to be added[edit]
Can you add these terms in Bulgarian language, please?
- Taxonavigation - Класификация
- Name - Име
- Synonyms - Синоними
- Vernacular names - Местни имена
- References - Позовавания
Please add them. ReconnectBalkanMed (talk) —The preceding undated comment was added 17:00, 30 March 2020
- @ReconnectBalkanMed: Done – all the above Bulgarian translations are now added. If possible, could you please also replace the fields marked "
??" with the relevant Bulgarian translations to the list below as well? Then I can make the Bulgarian part of our Localization database 100% complete.
- Please note that some of the words start with an upper case ("big") letter and some start with a lower case ("small") letter. This is important – the words in upper case are always used in the beginning of a new sentence, and the words in lower case are always used in the middle of sentences.
- Lastly, of course you don't have to add all of them if you don't want too, but any help is very much appreciated! :-) Thank you. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 22:52, 30 March 2020 (UTC).

- @Tommy Kronkvist: Done - most of the terms have been translated in Bulgarian. About the terms block/blocked - it depends on the context; are they meant to be used as in "chunks of text" or as in "deny access"? Also, I don't know what "sockpuppet" means in this case - could you explain or give me an example? Thank you! - ReconnectBalkanMed (talk), 13:01, 07 April 2020 (EET).
- @ReconnectBalkanMed: Thank you for the great work! As for the "block" (plural "blocks") and "blocked" terms they are used in relation to user accounts that have been blocked from editing, i.e. users that are denied access and forbidden to contribute.
- @Tommy Kronkvist:
_with_the_sock_puppets_%22Kiki_and_Bubu%22_(2008).jpg)
- In Wikimedia a "sockpuppeteer" is a registered user who has also created multiple other user accounts in order to deceive or mislead the community. For example a blocked user that has created one or more new user accounts in order to avoid the block. These new, "extra" user accounts are called "sockpuppets" (also known as "marionettes", i.e. "марионе́тки"). In most cases this is prohibited by Wikimedia policy, and then we block both the sockpuppeteer's main account as well as all of his/her sockpuppet accounts. Note that there are exceptions when sock-puppetry is considered okay, for example if Wikimedia personel have one formal account for their role as Wikimedia staff (for example the WMF board members), and a separate account for their non-formal "personal" edits (i.e. like you and me and most other users). However, these valid sockpuppet accounts are always publicly disclosed to the community, while "bad" sockpuppeters almost always try to hide their sockpuppets. The Bulgarian Wikipedia page about Wikimedia sock-puppetry is a bit outdated, but may give more information: Уикипедия: Марионетка.
- –Kind regards, Tommy Kronkvist, 01:34, 8 April 2020 (UTC).
- @Tommy Kronkvist: - Thank you! I added those translations, as well as a few others I had missed. I'm available if anything else is needed/there are any corrections, etc. All the best! - ReconnectBalkanMed (talk), 10:35, 10 April 2020 (EET).
R. Wills Flowers[edit]
Tommy,
Can you move every thing from R. Wills Flowers to Ralph Wills Flowers? PeterR (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Tommy, can you tell me what is change if you move R. Wills Flowers to Ralph Wills Flowers? First you came direct by the new reference template and could change the text, but now after move you stay wit R. Wills Flowers.PeterR (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- I've just now updated all the links and templates as well as the author taxa category for Ralph Wills Flowers, just so you know. Monster Iestyn (talk) 03:01, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks @Monster Iestyn! I'm busy going through the author link redirects in the rather long list above so any help is much appreciated. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 03:54, 3 April 2020 (UTC).
Template sp defect[edit]
Hello Tommy Kronkvist, after your last update of the template sp, it seems to be defect. All species lists are vanished and show the last species only, which is called by template splast. Kind regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 07:51, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hello @Thiotrix, and thank you for notifying me! I didn't manually edit the {{sp}} template, but it was automatically changed when I imported the {{In title}} template from English Wikipedia at 07:10 (UTC) earlier today. I didn't realize that enWP have a
{{sp}}and that it would get imported together with{{In title}}. I think I've fixed all of the errors now, however please contact me anew if you find any more errors in relation to todays imports. Again: thank you! Kind regards, Tommy Kronkvist, 08:39, 31 March 2020 (UTC).
Help:Project sources[edit]
Hello Tommy! Is there some particular reason to have Catalogue of Life Annual checklist set to 2018 here? 2019 is already available. I'd update it myself, but I wasn't sure if possibly there was some reason to have it this way, so I'm asking :o) --GeXeS (talk) 09:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Christopher A.M. Reid[edit]
Tommy,
Can you move every thing from Christopher A.M. Reid to Christopher Athol McEwan Reid? PeterR (talk)
- @PeterR: I'm still only about half way through the list above with the old redirect requests. It takes a lot of time since the pages also have other errors such as "BASEPAGENAME", incorrect lists of authored taxa- and publications, etc. I will of course correct them all, but it will take some time so please be patient. Thank you for your understanding. –Tommy Kronkvist, 04:52, 3 April 2020 (UTC).
- Tommy, what is wrong with the use of BASEPAGENAME? First we agree to use BASEPAGENAME and now not any more? PeterR (talk) 13:43, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- @PeterR: As I think you know, we have discussed this before. It was decided as a result of this discussion and voting about removing BASEPAGENAME. That was in 2017. After that all of the community have stopped using BASEPAGENAME, and we are replacing it with the real page name when we find it.
- Tommy, what is wrong with the use of BASEPAGENAME? First we agree to use BASEPAGENAME and now not any more? PeterR (talk) 13:43, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- You, however, said “I use BASEPAGENAME and nothing else” (February 12, 2017) and you have been using it ever since. That is okay, but takes a bit of extra time for the other users since according to the agreement we must clean the pages and replace BASEPAGENAME with the real name. –Tommy Kronkvist, 17:52, 4 April 2020 (UTC).
- Ok I shall try to use the real name. If you use BASEPAGENAME you see also the real name. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by PeterR (talk • contribs) 17:07, 9 April 2020 (UTC).
- @PeterR. Thank you. In some cases the taxon name is not the same as the page name. Then BASEPAGENAME does not show the correct taxon name. That's one (1) or the reasons why we decided against using BASEPAGENAME. Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 20:35, 14 April 2020 (UTC).

[edit]
Hello Tommy, I need to call a significant matter to your attention. Please see recent changes to section headings made by user Caftaric. (see page "Siphonostomatoida" as an example). He has added a space between the = and the { at rhe beginning of the heading and a space between the } and the = at the end, for the following headings:
- ==Taxonavigation==
- ==Name==
- ===Synonyms===
- ==References==
- ==Vernacular names==
A spot check of his edits seems to indicate that these changes have been going on for several months. If this is an approved format change, it is most ill-advised since virtually all taxon pages use no spaces in these headings and changing all these pages just to insert these unneeded spaces would be a laborious task when such time could be spent in more construcutive edits. In fact user Rosibot has edited literally thousands of taxon pages adding "int:" to these headers with no spaces in the heading. Unless Wikispecies has now adopted a-free-for-all policy in regard to spacing, I kindly request that you politely ask user Caftaric to refrain from making such changes and that he revert those he has made. I intend no disrespect to this user and hope that none is inferred by him. Even though I have edited Wikispecies for over 16 months I must shamefully admit I don't know how to send a private message to a user and therefore had to mebtion this matter to you on your user talk page. I hesitated to expose this for public viewing and would have sent you a private email but could'nt find your email address. Thank you for consideration of this matter and a prompt reply. Kind regards, Nytexcome (talk) 20:48, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
Illness[edit]
Tommy,
I read you are ill. Are you better now? By the way are you Dutch? PeterR (talk) 16:06, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @PeterR. Except for a bad cold and some fever, I'm okay now. I have a lot of things to do though – not only in Wikispecies! – and right now all work is slow since many services and offices are closed because of the Corona situation. Therefore, please stop adding new requests for author-link changes here for a while. Right now I have more than 20 authors from you "old" requests that still needs to be fixed. (Click the right "expand" link here: all authors without the "
" mark still needs work). In total that's at least 1,000 pages that needs to be edited, and I would like to correct all of them before you add new requests here. My guess is it will take a week or two, and I will send you a message when I'm done – after that you're most welcome to send me new requests again!
- As for nationalities, no I'm not Dutch. I understand most written Dutch, but can not write in Dutch myself. As you can read on my public user page: "I'm a Swedish amateur ichthyologist born in Finland". That information has been there for many, many years.
On the same page you will also find information about which languages I both speak, read and write in, in the "Babel user information" section on the right side of the page, below the other user boxes. (Swedish, English and German, to be precise.)

What is going on here?[edit]
Hi Tommy. [1] Picked this up this morning, is it a mass spam? Stay safe. Andyboorman (talk) 08:42, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hello @Andy. Many of those new user accounts were most likely first manually created on a sister project (oftentimes Wikipedia) and then also automatically created here as well as on the other wikis. Those auto-creations are made as part of the Unified login system by the "CentralAuth" extension and its subroutines. Those functions run globally on all our wikis, and helps so that each user don't have to manually create separate Wikimedia user accounts for Commons, Wikidata, Wikispecies, and so forth. That's all normal procedure and usually works well.
- Having said that, not all of the accounts you refer to were created by "real" persons. Instead a whole bunch of them are probably spam accounts that were created semi-automatically by spam-bots. Those bots are of course external and has nothing to do with the legitimate bots we run on our servers to automate stuff on Wikispecies. Unfortunately they're rather common though, and the CentralAuth auto-creation service can't differentiate between human users with good intentions and malevolent spammers. It used to be that the user names created by spam-bots often included digits ("RudolphDale9468", "CaraDossett9227", "ZitaHay0670355" and so forth) but it seems the spam bots have become smarter during the past six months or so, and nowadays generate more "normal" user names which may be harder to spot. Thankfully most of the spam accounts never make any edits to Wikispecies: they generally only target Wikipedia and other such high-traffic wikis with a bigger user base, where their spam can quickly reach more users before the spam accounts gets blocked.
- As far as I can tell the sum of accounts created the last couple of days is fairly normal, counting both standard user- and spam accounts. So in short: I don't think we need to be more vigilant than normally. Thanks anyway for bringing it up – and stay safe, you too! –Tommy Kronkvist, 03:18, 18 April 2020 (UTC).
Full author names[edit]
Tommy,
When can I send you new full author names? PeterR (talk) 12:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- @PeterR: Rather soon, but I don't know exactly when. Perhaps in about a week, but I will get back to you with more details. I'm currently working 65–70 hours per week with other, non-Internet related jobs. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 11:44, 24 May 2020 (UTC).
Helmut Pinter[edit]
Hej Tommy, jag har gjort en svwiki artikel om sv:Helmut Pinter, och i funderingar kring om han är relevant för species, kollade Fishbase, där jag hittade Ictalurus nebulosus pannonicus Harka & Pinter, 1990, Synonym for Ameiurus nebulosus, se också [Ictalurus nebulosus pannonicus COL], vilket i sin tur verkar vara syn med Ameiurus nebulosus så tyvärr sitter det kanske lite hårt åt med relevansen, vad tycker du? Dan Koehl (talk) 10:10, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Localization[edit]
Hi. When you have a chance, can you take a look at Wikispecies talk:Localization? There are a few edits pending. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 02:50, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Halonoproctidae[edit]
Tommy,
I have done something wrong by Halonoproctidae, but I don't know what. Please can you fix it? PeterR (talk) 07:53, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Protection of archives[edit]
Hi, I saw that you protected Wikispecies:Administrators' Noticeboard/Archive 2020 when I tried to archive some stuff to it - should the current archives (which still need to be edited) be fully protected? If yes, can you please archive some of the resolved discussions? If not, would you please reduce it to semiprotection or remove the protection entirely? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 02:19, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- @DannyS712: Reduced to semi-protection. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 15:14, 21 July 2020 (UTC).
Translations of geographical names[edit]
Hi, what do you say to this possibility of translating established terms that the wikidat database allows us to do?
The Qx template with the numeric item parameter of the Wikidat object could be inserted into tables instead of translated. --Rosičák (talk) 04:29, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Tommy,
