Patagona

I don't think you should have moved the original article to the older species' location. I think that should have remained as the genus article, as the information in it applies more broadly. I've proposed that the contents be merged back to the genus article. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah you're probably right, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for pointing it out. Bloopityboop (talk) 19:37, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Watermarked images

Hi - please don't add watermarked images to articles, as you did at Danio jaintianensis and several others. We really don't want images with big copyright labels in mainspace; it goes against the very idea of free reusability of image material on WP. I removed these previously under exactly that consideration. Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:05, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry about that, I didn't know. Thanks for pointing it out. Bloopityboop (talk) 19:57, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bothriechis species articles

Hi, thanks for creating these articles. A few points:

Use {{Speciesbox}} for the taxobox for a species. It uses the taxonomy template for the genus to determine the classification. Only in very, very exceptional circumstances do we create taxonomy templates for species.
If you are categorizing, e.g., Bothriechis rasikusumorum in Category:Bothriechis, always use a category key – in this example, put [[Category:Bothriechis|rasikusumorum]] at the end of the article.
It's good to add a taxonbar; look at the examples I've edited. You get the 'qid' from Wikidata. Don't worry about this at first, though.

Lots to learn, but never be discouraged! Peter coxhead (talk) 15:49, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know! Can I ask, what are the sort of circumstances where we create taxonomy templates for species? Bloopityboop (talk) 22:26, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the articles in Category:Taxonomy templates for species. Basically it's when the species name has to be displayed in some highly non-standard way, like "Coelosaurus" antiquus. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:00, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
