Talk:Ctenosaura pectinata

Photo?
Wow, this article made it to the main page today, yet it doesn't have a single photo? What the...? You'd think with 12,000 of the little buggers in Florida alone, someone could find at least one to grab a picture of. --Brownings (talk) 22:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Plenty of photos...just can't find one with the proper "free-use" tag. Oh and that's 12,000 in one community in florida...probably more throughout the state!--Mike Searson (talk) 22:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Page name: Ctenosaura pectinata, western spiny-tailed iguana, or Mexican spinytailed iguana?
Given the long history of numerous common names, in some cases the same common names, having been applied to three different species of Ctenosaura, and a history of taxonomic confusion among the species, I would suggest the name of this page be changed back or redirected to the Latin name  Ctenosaura pectinata. --WiLaFa (talk) 01:47, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Mexican spiny-tailed iguana → Ctenosaura pectinata – The recent move on 6 July 2021 was not necessary and is potentially confusing with other species. The name Mexican spiny-tailed iguana is not the currently accepted standardized name. Using the common name for this page is inconsistent with all other 14 species in the genus on Wikipedia. The common names Mexican spiny-tailed iguana and black spiny-tailed iguana are informally used for many species of Ctenosaura WiLaFa (talk) 17:12, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

per: Naming conventions (fauna)

"Do not use vernacular names when it is not clear to what the name refers (see WP:Article titles § Precision). The name sardine is used for many different species of small, oily fishes; the appropriate things to do are to write an article describing the attributes the species have in common under that name, and create separate articles for each genus." ..........

"When there is no common name or no consensus can be reached on the most common name, or if it isn't clear what taxon the common name refers to (as in the sardine example above), use the scientific name"

Mexican spiny-tailed iguana and black spiny-tailed iguana are used for many species of Ctenosaura. WiLaFa (talk) 17:22, 11 July 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.
