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:

• Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
• Templates are there to help you to follow our syntax and formatting standards.
• Have a look at Done and to do.

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! -- Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:01, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome and useful information! In a roundabout way, I landed at Wikispecies through my work on iNaturalist. My plans are to update/create pages related to spider taxonomy, but I am open to help in any way that I can. I currently have a lot of other projects going, including updating spider related pages on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons and focusing on my undergraduate degree! I hope to be a life long user/editor of the Wiki projects, so I will likely ask for help at some point in the future. Thank you again! Parasiticfrisk (talk) 21:41, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Richard J(ames) Adams

Hello Parasiticfrisk! In late June you added the author link Richard James Adams in a reference to a publication about Allocosa subparva (please see that page). Is this perhaps the same person as the Richard J. Adams [Wikidata: Q26251073] we already have an author page for here at Wikispecies? And if so, do you happen to have a reliable source we can use in order to verify his full name (and that they are the same person)?

–Best regards, and thank you for your contributions! Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 16:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC).

The author of the Field Guide is a Richard John Adams born 1970 [1]. He is a parasitologist from the University of Utah. (see About the author). I'd say he is likely our Richard J. Adams Quasi-grip (talk) 17:48, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

I apologize for the late reply. That was a typo on my end. As mentioned by Quasi-grip, this should be Richard John Adams. I will be sure to fix this as soon as I am free later today. Parasiticfrisk (talk) 20:34, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
