Welcome to Wikispecies!

Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome!

Please note that Reference section goes before Vernacular Names section.[1] OhanaUnitedTalk page 20:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

References before Vernacular Names edit

The help pages certainly can guide you through some of the basics. And don't worry about User:OhanaUnited/Usurp notice. It's just a notepad for me to transclude items very quickly to many users at the same time. No harm done!

Over the years, we have shifted and changed the page formatting. The current and most up-to-date is having references before vernacular names (see Animalia as an example). Now, there are still plenty of pages that remained in old formatting and one of our job here is, aside from creating more species entries/pages, to ensure that all pages will follow the latest formatting (well, eventually...) I know it's a long process, but we rarely have people with the technical knowledge of computer AND also interested in animals that build bots to help speed up such process.

And finally, if you leave a message to a talk page, please add your entry to the bottom, not the top, of the page. This is the common norm across all projects (including Wikipedia). OhanaUnitedTalk page 22:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
