I usually pick featured pictures, which is a process where people in English Wikipedia have to vote to determine whether a picture becomes featured. If you scroll down on the image, you can see more details on featured pictures. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 02:56, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Zelotibia

Sorry! Didn't realize that OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 01:31, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Main Page

Why did you add references to main page? I don't think it's appropriate to do so. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 03:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

No need to copy the contents over. I have watchlisted Village Pump since the 5th day I joined Wikispecies. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 05:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Commons Image

On images you uploaded, such as this one, don't forget to italic the genus/species in the description.[1] OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 05:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Muromegalovirus

Stephen,

Why didn't you make the side Muromegalovirus correkt with Taxonavigation?

DOI

Just to let you know, we actually do have a template for DOI.[2] OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 02:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Main Page

I've noticed an error in the Main page: It lists "Eukarya" in the quick navigation (upper right quadrant), but the linked page is Eukaryota. The latter is the better name since "Eukarya" is a homonym of Eucarya, a genus of sandalwood. Could you please fix the displayed name to match the link? --EncycloPetey 01:01, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! --EncycloPetey 01:04, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Replied on my talk page. Also, I need admin help. The content of Phaeophyta should be merged with Phaeophyceae as an "alternative classification" section (at least that's how I've seen other Protist pages handle this). If this is appropriate, then an admin needs to handle this in order to merge the edit histories. My fault for not first checking all the synonyms to see if pages existed, or I could have moved that page before adding the new content to Phaeophyceae. If that sort of thing isn't done here, then what should happen to the content at Phaeophyta when that page becomes a redirect? --EncycloPetey 01:31, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

authority disambiguation

What does WS style recommend when there is a zoological author and a botanical author of the same name? See Petrov. --EncycloPetey 00:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you are asking! There are usually many authors of the same name - I'm not sure why it matters if one is a botanist and one a zoologist??? Stho002 00:20, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

The page was a redirect to the zoologist, but I edited it to the current state. Is my edit within acceptable style? I don't want people to follow an authority link from a botanical page and wind up at the entomologist. --EncycloPetey 00:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Follow this style: Jones Stho002 00:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Institute of Biology and Soil Science

Stephen,

Do you know the International code (shortening) for Institute of Biology and Soil Science, Russian Academy of Sciences in Vladivostok?

Zootaxa 2214 (Insects) 31-08-2009

Stephen

I can't open Zootaxa 2214 (Insects) 31-08-2009 in Google. Can you tell me if there are new Lepidoptera in this issue?

The troubles are only for 2214 and 2215. The rest I can open in Google. I have allready ordered 2218. Thanks.

PeterR 08:43, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Zootaxa 2214 en 2215

Stephen,

Zootaxa 2214 and 2215 are now available on internet

What to include in Wikispecies articles

No, it is a question not of the descriptive information. I speak about expansion of that special information which is necessary to the biologist. You as a rule don't bring it. But I don't see obstacles why it not to bring according to the purposes of this project. Particularly it is a question of information addition about locus of DNA of this or that kind. Thus speech not about the descriptive information on it, and on links to it. It can't be размещенно in Wikipedia. And I think this project just a proper place for this purpose. S.J. 22:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Here about which I tell an example Escherichia coli UTI89 S.J. 22:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, it is important, as the database of this project can be used for communication of kinds and sequences of DNA.

Now one more question: whether page creation NC_007941 is admissible? I think you tell isn't present, as it not a kind. On the other hand, whether it is necessary for it to open the similar project, only with a database for sequences of DNA and proteins, RNA in them? You where this point in question is better for discussing could advise. S.J. 23:28, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

example [3] S.J. 23:43, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Whether it is possible, that this information [4] was here? It can be discussed? Where it can be discussed (сan be on a meta-Wiki)? (I apologise for English, I use the autotranslator) S.J. 23:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Gracilariidae

Stephen,

Is it family Gracilariidae or Gracillariidae?

Inappropriate deletion?

[5] So we can't delete pages we created by mistake? It conflicted with what we have. Rocket000 07:38, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

And I would appreciate if you didn't undelete my own work. If someone else created the page, then fine, but it wouldn't have been there in the first place if I didn't create it... Rocket000 08:00, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Huh? You could of simply made it a redirect without undeleting it. Anyway, it's not that important, don't let me keep you from your work. :) Rocket000 08:13, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

It was that you called it inappropriate and I was wrong to delete my own mistake. I didn't know it was ok to add unpublished stuff here. That TOL page is preliminary and expected to change (and has, btw). Rocket000 08:22, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

True, as far as the name goes, but I was talking about the classification. The name has been used in recent publications (for example: DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2009.08.012). It's just citing a "under construction" TOLweb page itself isn't the best reference to have and I was waiting for something better at the time. Rocket000 08:43, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I was talking about using their unpublished hypothetical classification, not the name. Rocket000 09:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Parobia

Stephen,

Parobia is synonymised with Chrysomelobia by Owen D. Seeman. See Invertibrate Systematics, 2008, 22 (1): 55-84. Full article added by Podapolipidae.

PeterR 13:47, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Bryum zeballosicum

Hi there. In regards to the above page that you just deleted, it is probably best to remove the "Content before blanked: Content" from the log summary in cases like this so that the vandalism does not continue to appear. This is even more important for attack pages, which this may have very well been. Cheers, Tiptoety 20:14, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Bulletin of the Allyn Museum

Stephen,

I can't get copies from the Bulletin of the Allyn Museum by my library. Is it possible that you can get copies?

Regards

~~

vernacular

regarding vernacular names -- are you saying they should go very very last, or just make sure they go after references? I was putting them after "Name", but now should I make sure they're after both Name and References, or is there anything else they should go after as well? Jacob Robertson 20:35, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

DOI no.

Stephen,

I can't not allways add the DOI numbers. For example The Canadian Entomologist 2004, 136, 823-834. I don't see a DOI no. on the original bulletin. Maybe if you login you see that DOI number but i get copies from the library. If i have DOI no. I shall add them.

Regards,

PeterR 11:58, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

How to cite

Could you format some of these refs to show me correct form, please. Regards, Ark (talk page) 22:21, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I only have time to do this one for now:

• Roa-Varón, A.; Ortí, G. 2009: Phylogenetic relationships among families of Gadiformes (Teleostei, Paracanthopterygii) based on nuclear and mitochondrial data. Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 52: 688-704. DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2009.03.020

there is no point in adding the PMED link if there is a doi

Fine, thank you :) Ark (talk page) 22:34, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Isopod pages

Dear Stho002. When you make or change pages associated with Isopoda, please don't use design so different from mine, in order to keep unified style I made. Concerning references. We have only these rules: Help:Reference_section and I see no good reason not to use my style at least on Isopoda pages. Kuzia 14:48, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Parajapygidae

Why have you change my additing in english in spanish. The original bulletin gives both. We have make an agreement to add english text in Wikipedia.

Thanks.

PeterR 22:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Aarn

Are you sure that "Aarn" means Ivantsoff, A. ? Ark (talk page) 22:04, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

The authors are Aarn and Walter Ivantsoff, i.e., Aarn Ivantsoff and Walter Ivantsoff Stho002 22:11, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't think so: [6] Ark (talk page) 22:14, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

how about ION? Stho002 22:21, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

The same is in Fishbase refs, but I believe Eschmeyer, Nelson, and other editors e.g. this pdf. Ark (talk page) 22:28, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Very interesting. Thanks, Stephen :) Ark (talk page) 08:41, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

One day is not infinity. It is time to think. Ark (talk page) 22:42, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

re: Synonyms/old combinations

Could you write about it to PeterR, please. Ark (talk page) 21:04, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

OK, next time I'll do redir. Ark (talk page) 21:22, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Tawa

Can you check out en:Tawa (dinosaur) and determine how we should create our page? It's missing quite a few things like family and such. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:02, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Reading the Tawa article shows that the genus and species wasnt placed any further then Theropoda do to the basal nature of its affinities, thus it should be placed directly below Theropoda in the hierarchy here.--Kevmin 05:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Weird to see that it doesn't get assigned to a family or create its own family. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 22:29, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

No, not weird. Increasingly common these days... Stho002 22:56, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Check your email, I just send you a message. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 03:27, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Fenerbahce

I found this genus in Nothobranchiidae. Why you placed it in Aplocheilidae? I didn't find such ref. Ark (talk page) 18:29, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I found. In later pubs Fenerbahce was moved to Nothobranchiidae, so I will do, ok? Ark (talk page) 19:30, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

By monotypy is for Adamas, for Fenerbahce is by being a replacement name for Adamas. See Fenerbahce (genus) in William Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes. Ark (talk page) 22:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. Seems I was in the wrong. Ark (talk page) 17:33, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Lessonia

I need help moving/disambiguating this genus. It appears to be both a genus of passerine bird, as well as a key genus of kelp (the type for Lessoniaceae). I've not had to set up a disambuuation for a page that already existed, so I'm not sure I know what to do. --EncycloPetey 05:54, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

OK, I've been watching what you've been doing, and think I understand. One question though: Is it preferred that the disambiguated genus page use the author or a parenthetical parent taxon (I've seen both methods used). For the kelp Lessonia, that would mean a choice of "Lessonia (Laminariales)" since the order is the most stable parent taxon, or else "Lessonia Bory de Saint-Vincent" if the taxon author is used. --EncycloPetey 06:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Help! I have another algal genus, but the page for Lobophora does not give a genus authorty, so I don't know what to rename it. --EncycloPetey 05:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Please comment

Dear Stho002, i just found a problem with the article Equus onager and asked a question about it on the page Talk:Equus onager. Do you know anything about this? I'm new to wikispecies, but can do alot because i work on the Dutch Wiki for almost 2 years now. But i don't know any place where i can submit this page for deletion.

I ask this from you because i looked up 3 other users wich worked on the page, but they haven't done anything on wikispecies this year, so i won't expect any answers from them soon.

Thanks in forward, --Kennyannydenny 22:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
