List of snakes of Trinidad and Tobago

[edit]

I think this list meets the criteria for a Featured List, and it would be a good addition to the group. Guettarda 28 June 2005 03:40 (UTC)

  • Support. Though the one last improvement I'd like would be fewer red links.

  • Comment, yes, indeed the only thing that may hinder support votes is the number of red links. File:PhoenixSuns 100.pngPhoenix2File:Teamflag1.png 28 June 2005 04:07 (UTC)
    • I agree that you don't really want that many readlinks, but I think that the article is more valuable with the links than without them. Until and unless the articles about these species (or even the genera) get written, any list like this is going to be full of redlinks. What we need is a WikiProject:Snakes :) Guettarda 28 June 2005 04:22 (UTC)

Comment. It's a good list, but the criteria for inclusion mentions that there should be a majority of blue links. There are ~ 41 red and 6 blue and this figure is nowhere near the minimum criteria for inclusion. =Nichalp «Talk»= June 28, 2005 06:31 (UTC)
Must have missed that one. I don't see that as a fixable issue. Guettarda 28 June 2005 12:02 (UTC) I will fix the problem. Guettarda 28 June 2005 12:32 (UTC)
Ok, 32 articles later (stubs with taxboxes, to be honest) and a few fixed links there are only 7 red links among the snakes, 12 red links in the article as a whole. Guettarda 28 June 2005 23:08 (UTC)
Support – excellent job done on inking the links. =Nichalp «Talk»= June 29, 2005 07:32 (UTC)
  • Oppose for the moment. Too many red links to meet the criteria. Other issues: (1) the lead needs work (at the moment it starts with a fragment of a sentence); (2) the notes at the end of each section really should be included in the tables, as each one relates to a specific snake - awkward from a formatting point of view, I know, but it would make it much more user-friendly. --OpenToppedBus - Talk June 28, 2005 08:40 (UTC)
Further to point 2, I've had a go at a possible new format on Talk:List of snakes of Trinidad and Tobago - comments welcome. OpenToppedBus - Talk June 28, 2005 08:58 (UTC)
I have converted the notes at the bottom of the tables to hyperlinked footnotes. This removes them from the table while making them instantly available to readers. Guettarda 28 June 2005 23:59 (UTC)
Excellent work - very happy to change my vote to support. OpenToppedBus - My Talk June 29, 2005 08:38 (UTC)
