Abbreviation of the word species
, I undid your reversion of my change. You state in your edit summary that using the abbreviation sp for species "is the way it is done". Yes, in a scientific journal where the word species occurs frequently. You and I understand this without hesitation. But this is an encyclopedia article for general consumption by readers who are not necessarily familiar with biology texts. I think that in this case, where the word species has not already been employed in the sentence, it is preferable to spell out the word. Eric talk 03:28, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Re: Altica sp. and thousands of others. You would be busy for the next few months if you tried to revert all of them. It is too bad you see it this way. --Polinizador (talk) 17:30, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see it as "too bad". We might instead call it regrettable that the authors of those thousands may not have considered their audience. Eric talk 19:29, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
