Your help please

[edit]

when you create new stubs about biota in Australia, in Australia is particularly problematic in relation to the size of the continent. It would be really appreciated if you could make the effort to identify where in Australia. Some geckos, lizards and other slithering things simply do not have the metabolisms to populate the continent, let alone even move much out of fairly limited range habitats. It helps the taggers who have to follow you who wonder where exactly in oz, the delightful little creatures actually inhabit. Thanks. JarrahTree 09:13, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of birds of Europe

[edit]

Hi pvmoutside. I see you've removed Hume's whitehroat and Desert whitethroat form the List of birds of Europe page. Hume's whitehroat is accepted on the Dutch list (see https://www.dutchavifauna.nl/species/humes_braamsluiper). OK if I add that one again?Calonectris (talk) 13:18, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

.My bad.....I see the European list references the IOC as its source which includes the Humes and Desert Whitethroat (the Clements list does not)…..go ahead and add them....Pvmoutside (talk) 16:50, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
.Thanks for the reply. I'll make the adjstments. Not entirely sure on the status of desert Whitethroat. I couldn't easily find an accepted record the last time I checked, but that's also because of the poor understanding of that species complex.

It was my understanding that all bird lists on WP use IOC as their standard. Is this not correct? Calonectris (talk) 16:02, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

good you are adjusting... No, the bird lists predominately use Clements as the standard. Some lists use the IOC, others use country or regional organizations....all species taxonomy pages and English names for species pages are standardized on the IOC. Europe can use the IOC if you wish since it already states that.....I don't think there ever has been a discussion on standardization for bird lists at the wikiproject...There has been one for taxonomy and English names for the species pages.....Pvmoutside (talk) 16:16, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Diaptomididae requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Jalen Folf (talk) 02:23, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@JalenFolf: the page was clearly a mistaken copy of Template:Taxonomy/Diaptomididae – the content is not an infobox but a taxonomy template. I've quickly created a stub for the family itself. It may be a misspelling of "Diaptomidae", in which case both the article and the taxonomy template need to be redirected. However, there are scientific articles with this spelling. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:27, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It sure looks like a spelling error that originated on Wikipedia. All the taxonbar databases at Leptodiaptomus ashlandi put it in family Diaptomidae, as do the other language Wikipedias. Diaptomididae has been in en.wiki articles on Leptodiaptomus species since June 2014, and the only scientific article with that spelling was published in 2017. Plantdrew (talk) 21:31, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm OK with Diaptomididae speedy deletes. I assumed the family to be correct when I when I copy and pasted yesterday......Pvmoutside (talk) 00:50, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I agree it's a misspelling. For now, I redirected Diaptomididae and put Template:Taxonomy/Diaptomididae in Category:Unnecessary taxonomy templates (which could usefully be taken to WP:Tfd). Peter coxhead (talk) 08:44, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, there is a Category:Taxa named by Ernesto Marcus which should be deleted as it is empty....Pvmoutside (talk) 02:29, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nacamier Nunoi

[edit]

MelanieN (copying MelanieN) In two days, 10/29 & today, this new editor made 109 primary sourced additions of American Conservative Union voting scores to the ledes of recent and incumbent Republican congresspersons. I've reverted 70 and will continue until they're all rolled back but you had made the last edit to a number of those articles before "Nunoi" vandalized them. That's the only thing this editor has done under that USER name. Other editors have probably done rolled back more than a dozen more. Any suggestions on how to deal with it as he or she will probably continue to vandalize articles? Activist (talk) 20:40, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

user:goldringchip may have some ideas. It does look like a few editors are keeping up with nacamier nunoi deleting the edits.....thanks for letting me know....Pvmoutside (talk) 01:19, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shortwing pictures

[edit]

Hello! Someone wrote in to OTRS to point out that we have the same picture on Himalayan shortwing and on White-browed shortwing. I wouldn't know a robin from a sparrow, but I figure you might be able to sort it out.

Page move request 3

[edit]

Hi Pvmoutside, as a result of the page move discussion held on the project talk page here, could you move Southern crested toad to its scientific binomial (Peltophryne guentheri)? The binomial is currently a redirect with minimal page history. Following the move, I will then merge the content of Eastern crested toad into that page as well.

Round robin moves and redirect templates

[edit]

Might be you're already aware of this--your talkpage is a bit too long for me to go read through everything to check--but if doing round-robin moves of taxa, any chance that, when updating the redirect targets, you could also double-check if the redirect templates on the redirect(s) still make sense after the move? I've found a number of moves you made where you had left redirect templates such as "R from monotypic taxon" and "R to scientific name" on redirects that were, post-move, to a monotypic taxon or from a scientific name instead.

"Cochranella" ramirezi

[edit]

Hi Pvmoutside, on 30 Oct, I moved the page name for Cochranella ramirezi to a title with quotes around the genus name, including a reason provided in the edit summary that it is presently incertae sedis. Today you have reversed this move, but without any edit summary explaining why. As the original page move (and others like it) was done to bring the naming of frog species in line with ASW 6.0 (ref), could you either provide a reason for your change or return it back to the previous state?

yes, we follow the IOC with all taxonomic and English name conventions. The IOC lists Dinopium psarodes as a species...Pvmoutside (talk) 17:26, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation pages

[edit]

Hello, Pvmoutside. When you moved Whimbrel to a new title and then changed the old title into a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:

When creating disambiguation pages, fix all resulting mis-directed links.
Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Whimbrel" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 00:08, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whimbrel has 270 incoming links (eight times more than any other disambiguation page on Wikipedia) and the gnomes are finding it hard to fix them because the birds are so similar. Any help would still be appreciated. Certes (talk) 19:49, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm working on it.....I've done all the bird lists except North and South America, I've told the person who takes care of those pages, and he should be back in a week or so.....I still have other disambig pages for the Eurasian whimbrel I am still working on and should be done with them in a few days.....Pvmoutside (talk) 19:53, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thomasia

[edit]

I believe your change of genus from Haramiya to Thomasia is incorrect. You have stated the change was on the basis of your discovery of an older name found in GBIS, however Thomasia was already being used as a plant genus, and still is, so Thomasia cannot as a mammal genus cannot be valid. Further, I do not believe there to be any uses of the genus name in any recent literature, so even if you were correct it is a change that cannot be made in Wikipedia as this would be personal research. Could you please undo the changes that you have made Jameel the Saluki (talk) 05:38, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the Thomasia change is correct because it is the only one I see as referenced. The previous genus was not and shows inactive at many taxonomic sites. There are a couple of occasions where plant and animal genera use the same taxa name.....Pvmoutside (talk) 13:04, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Smjg. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Megazostrodontidae. Please do not do this. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you wish to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. — Smjg (talk) 11:17, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Something about Gallirallus

[edit]

See IOC version 10.2 (draft), Gallirallus was found to be paraphyletic (many species moved to Hypotaenidia (with Nesoclopeus sunk into Hypotaenidia), with the Chatham rail moved to Cabalus, and also the Slaty-Breasted Rail moved to Lewinia), and so it also seems that we have to update the taxonomy of prehistoric species… — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.237.203.92 (talk) 08:12, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I usually wait until the drafts become official.....Pvmoutside (talk) 12:50, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

congrats on clearing 187k

[edit]

small problem we dont have fauna as a sub project in the oz project - it defaults to biota anyways - it is appreciated when you go to the trouble of locating states on the lead/sole sentence of the stubs... JarrahTree 15:24, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

it probably means absolutely nothing to you but I knew some of the describers of the skinks - its good to see they have species named after them... JarrahTree 15:29, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lerista alia

[edit]

Hi, could you explain me how you can have accessed the Reptile Database on 22 March 2015 to find information on Lerista alia, a species that was described only in 2019? More in general, it baffles me why you insist using some archaic access date when creating new stubs. I imagine this is some copy-paste thing that would take few seconds to fix.

Care needed

[edit]

Hi Pvmoutside: Thanks for all your hard work updating genera, etc. for various birds. Please be sure to check through the taxonomy sections of the articles you're modifying though. I found an error in the Ruff (bird) article, introduced (accidentally, I know) with [this series of edits way back in 2017. The genus was changed from Philomachus to Calidris, but the verbiage that said "It was moved into its current genus by German naturalist Blasius Merrem in 1804." was not modified — and Merrem put the bird in Philomachus, not Calidris. I've fixed it. MeegsC (talk) 10:10, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks MeegsC for catching that...every now and then one slips by.....Pvmoutside

English varieties

[edit]

Hey there Pvmoutside! We seem to be working on the same articles these days. I'm cleaning up old parameters, you're updating bulbul names. I happened to notice that you're changing the spelling of bird names from British English to American English on a number of the lists you're updating — including those of former British colonies which definitely use British spellings locally. Per the project's Manual of Style, we're really not supposed to change English varieties. Do you think you could go back and change those "grays" back to "greys"? ;) MeegsC (talk) 23:43, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

so most of the lists state in their intro they follow Clements which uses American English (i.e gray). I've been sticking to that except for places like Australia and Great Britain... I know Craigthebirder has been doing that as well....l'm guessing it won't be an issue when everyone goes IOC but I could be wrong......Pvmoutside (talk) 23:44, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for example, YOU added the verbiage about the nomenclature being in line with Clements on the List of birds of Madagascar page. It was aligned only with the Clements taxonomy prior to that. So I might change those back, if that's okay with you. MeegsC (talk) 17:24, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't mind at all if you wanted to change them back....Pvmoutside (talk) 17:27, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Nikema Williams shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi Pvmoutside: Way back in 2017, you added a lot of information to the northern harrier article, including a sentence that reads "Some Native American tribes believe that seeing a hawk on your wedding day is a sign of a long, happy marriage." Do you have a reference that indicates which tribes, and that says this is true specifically about northern harriers? A reader has questioned the information and it's not sourced.
