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!
Good luck with your contributions in Orchidaceae, particularity the Philippine genera and species, such as Bulbophyllum. I suggest you contact @Orchi: or myself if you need help or advice and do have a look on the Village Pump every so often. Andyboorman (talk) 19:42, 13 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Images and new species edit

Hi I suggest all images get uploaded to Wikicommons rather than just here on WS. @Orchi: is better at Wikicommons than me. As soon as your "new" species are published in a peer reviewed journal it is usually OK to publish here. However, if your "new" species are already published as another combination, in other words a basionym already exists, then it does get a bit more complicated. I can help with this. Hope this helps Andyboorman (talk) 08:02, 14 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Orchi: can i share with you all the scanned herbs via Google Drive? its a lot, its all the species of Ames. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Raabbustamante (talkcontribs) 09:16, 20 May 2015.
Hi Raabbustamante, please excuse me, but I do'nt know, what yo means in details. Do you mean the Herbarium of Oakes Ames with more than 130.000 specimens? Can you give a sample please. Orchi (talk) 13:04, 20 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Orchi: never mind, was talking about the scanned Bulbophyllum species occuring in the Philippines. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Raabbustamante (talkcontribs) 10:35, 21 May 2015.

Name in KEW edit

Hello Raabbustamante, first thanks for the rare and good pictures, uploaded by you. Thanks for the splendid article and pictures in the "Die Orchidee" (your name "R.Bustamente). I read this article with great interest.
Sorry, that I used the wrong abbreviation here. My proposal to you: Please contact R.Govaerts of KEW gardens to create a new botanical abbreviation for you. KEW uses the abbreviation of Bustam. - Rubí Bustamante for yor name here [1] instead of R.Bustamente.
Thanks to Tommy Kronkvist for the rapid correction. Greetings. Orchi (talk) 15:02, 8 April 2016 (UTC)Reply


Hello Orchi, Rafael and Heather made the ness. corrections. my aut. abbrv. is R.Bustam. (talk) 15:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Invalid reference templates edit

please read Help:Reference_section#Reference_Templates, before you create new reference templates--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:53, 7 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wrong title? edit

Hello Raabbustamante. The {{Bustamente et al., 2020}} template created by you in November 2020 says

  • Bustamante, R., Tandang, D.N. Pranda, M.A.K. & Ang, Y.P. 2020. Begonia trucatifolia (Begoniaceae, section Baryandra), a new species of Begonia from San Vicente, Palawan, the Philippines.

It doesn't mention in which scientific journal (or equivalent) it was published. Are you perhaps referring to DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.458.3.4   i.e.:

  • Bustamante, R., Tandang, D.N., Pranada, M.A.K. & Ang, Y.P. 2020. Begonia truncatifolia (Begoniaceae, section Baryandra), a new species from Palawan Island, the Philippines. Phytotaxa 458(3): 215–222.

Note that four things differ: the spelling of co-author Pranada, the spelling of truncatifolia, the title of the article itself, and of course the information about the scientific journal with volume-, issue- and page numbers.

I will be happy to make any necessary changes to the reference template if you indeed meant to refer to the Phytotaxa publication listed above, but feel I will need your confirmation first.
If else, could you please name the publication in which the work was printed? –Best regards, Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 22:46, 23 June 2021 (UTC).Reply
