nadi

edit

Something has gone wrong recently with your formats for the nadi template. You seem to be adding a ^ to Regional as well as placing it in bold not italics. See my edit on Microlicia selaginea as an example. Hope this helps. Andyboorman (talk) 11:03, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Also it would be ideal if you would use Regional: in its fullest and not use terms too broad a term for Continental. The guidance is in Brummitt. Andyboorman (talk) 11:51, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@MILEPRI This time I regret to remind you of what I told you before. We have to conform to Brummitt's format, or refraining from use of {{nadi}} would be another choice. --Eryk Kij (talk) 16:40, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Andyboorman: Sorry to interrupt, but I have almost never seen the practice of Regional-italicization. Does it have any consensus? I always make it bold. --Eryk Kij (talk) 16:40, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Eryk Kij: Common practice by most editors over many years has Continental in bold and Regional in italics. But as nadi is an addition and not essential, I assume you can format as you wish. My point about origin is that if too vague it just becomes a collection of possibly geographically disconnected names. Andyboorman (talk) 18:04, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Another tip or two

edit

A couple of friendly points. APD is a link not additional reference. Also be careful when creating redirects. A name could have homonyms and you may inadvertently create a redirect over an accepted name. Check for green coloured links on the list of species or genera.

Page moves

edit

Hi Milepri - please do not use cut-and-paste for page moves, as this breaks the page history. Only ever use the 'Move' tab (under 'More' in the action bar). Thanks! - MPF (talk) 22:05, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi MPF - I already use 'Move' when the destination page does not exist. I use the copy-paste when she is busy. I guess I should clear the page and then use 'Move'. I would appreciate it if you let me know if this is correct. Saludos. MILEPRI (talk) 07:22, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I just use Move and then edit the original page, as required. It saves using the copy/paste and keeps the valuable edit history - just in case. I have learnt the hard way! Andyboorman (talk) 07:44, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Eponyms - 'Bon'

edit

Please be careful before you add eponym categories to pages. I removed all of your edits claiming these names are attributed to Marcel Bon since all of the basionyms were published before 1925, i.e. Marcel's birth year, therefore DEFINITELY have nothing to do with him. Yes, categorization ALWAYS needs discretion to some extent. I have also given eponym categories by deduction sometimes, but always only after checking that birth year of person are before collection/publication date. We are always responsible for providing data. --Eryk Kij (talk) 09:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have asked a fellow admin to see whether or not they can run a bot to automatically change == Links == into === Links ===. The problem with the former is that it produces an unnecessary section break with an underline. Links are part of the References and do not require a separate section. In the mean time could we all please use === Links === as provided. Andyboorman (talk) 09:51, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK. Saludos MILEPRI (talk) 09:52, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

nadi, again

edit

I have had to correct edits to the distribution on several pages that you have recently worked on, and I came here to advise you about the correct use of the nadi template, but I see that the topic has already been mentioned to you a few times here. The full list of continental, regional, and countries/sub-regions can be found in this PDF. If you cannot follow that arrangement for whatever reason, may I suggest that you don't add or edit the distributions, and leave it for others to complete.

I also want to point out that there should only be one image per species page, unless the images show male and female variations. See Help:Image Guidelines for more details. Cheers, Junglenut (talk) 22:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Roemeria pavonina

edit

This species is accepted by both Hassler and POWO. It should be kept. Andyboorman (talk) 08:42, 26 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

It is already updated, it's just that I left it unchanged yesterday due to lack of time. Thanks for the notice. Saludos MILEPRI (talk) 08:54, 26 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
