Category talk:Taxon authorities

Creo que sería conveniente que los autores estuvieran ordenados alfabéticamente para facilitar la búsqueda y que la página tenga mejor aspecto. Esto puede hacerse colocando delante del nombre la abreviatura botánica o poniendo el apellido principal delante del nombre. Por ejemplo, Carolus Linnaeus podría figurar como L. o como Linnaeus, Carolus.--Cillas 07:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

All authors listed in this category are already sorted alphabetically by their surname, and have been since the category was first created back in 2005. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 22:31, 29 September 2011 (UTC).

Problematic taxon authorities

(from User:Estopedist1/Problematic taxon authorities; copying by --Estopedist1 (talk) 08:44, 17 May 2021 (UTC))

anyone can edit this list

• Greca, La Greca, LaGreca
  • Nothing links to Greca. "La Greca" = it:Marcello La Greca
• Godeffroy, Godefroy?, related Museum, is enwiki?
  • Godeffroy (for Oniscomorpha) is indeed en:Museum Godeffroy. It should clearly be "Anonymous", but the purported place of publication clearly does not use the misspelling in question anyway. Cockroach Species File says the record is from Princis. 1963. In Beier [Ed.]. Orthopterorum Catalogus(4):146, which may be the only actual source extant? Someone has to consult a paper version.
  • Godefroy for botany could be the F.F. Godefroy of IPNI. Needs more reserach.
    • Godefroy for botany: maybe Jean-François Godefroy (1770–1850) [1], [2] - "Abies pectinata pendula Hort. (...) Trouvée dans un semis (...) par M. Godefroy, horticulteur à Ville-d'Avray" [3]. Korg (talk) 19:01, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
• Im, probably H.A. Im (Lepidoptera, 1988
• Medway (Lord Medway, problematic, WS gives earl of ... link
  • en:Gathorne Gathorne-Hardy, 5th Earl of Cranbrook ("styled Lord Medway until 1978")
• Moniez (Fungi (R. Moniez), and Animalia, different authority?)
  • Likely Romain Louis Moniez (1852-1936). The "botanical" material is on microsporidia (he was primarily a parasitologist).
• Name, Van Name (1925, Animalia
  • Willard Gibbs Van Name (1872-1959, son of en:Addison Van Name and nephew of en:Josiah Willard Gibbs)
• Sarens (forename?, 1886, Animalia
  • Name appears mangled, should be Sarasin (BHL, if WoRMS, which has only one of the combinations corrected lol, is correct), though unclear which of them it ought to be attributed to!
• Tippo (Plantae, not in IPNI, 2020
  • This is probably en:Oswald Tippo (A Modern Classification of the Plant Kingdom, 1942). Most authors basically ignore dating and authorship issues with names above the rank of family, because those names are not subjected to the principle of priority anyway (Hence why these names are not in IPNI, I don't think anyone other than Reveal ever seriously cared about these names).

Without a name/ref to work back from, most of these are unsolvable. They're just... names. Without something to tell us why they're on this list, the list itself is useless. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Circeus (talk • contribs) 29 October 2020.

@Circeus: do you mean whole list or Tippo-related stuff? If whole list, then these red links can be deleted, once WS has no backlink to them--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:25, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Spieth doesn't have backlinks, dunno if it was unlinked or solved separately. I mistook some of them as having no backlinks. Circeus (talk) 15:00, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
