Spacing between cladograms
You reverted my change to the clade gallery that put more space between the cladograms with a "not helpful" edit message. The change isn't needed for the desktop view, but the appearance of the two cladograms is awful in mobile view, where it's hard to see separation between the header text and the top of right cladogram is adjacent to the header of the left one. We have to try and accommodate different skins and the mobile/desktop views. —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 06:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Creating large spaces and gaps is not the solution. It looks godawful. Maybe can help. LittleJerry (talk) 10:10, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I found the main problem. The first cladogram was in the header, which messed up the rest of the formatting. I've also used headerstyle to restrain the very wide header seen in some views. —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 11:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

"Go from [infected] to [uninfected]" is a bad choice of phrasing here. I initially took it as "start out infected and become uninfected", which makes little sense. I'm guessing what was meant is "some are infected and some are not", which makes sense and agrees with the ref, based on a quick look. Minimal rephrasing, off the top of my head, would be "range from".

ETA: Now that I re-read the above, I'm no longer convinced that I properly intuited the original intention. Maybe "where" doesn't refer to "south", or maybe an "un" is in the wrong place, or maybe the order ended up jumbled, or whatever. Here's what I take to be the relevant ref excerpts:

how often is it really called the Koala "bear" nowadays?
Reference to "bear" should be removed as it is not correct or common imo. Or, if it is, provide more sources. 203.221.207.34 (talk) 10:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * How often is a platypus called "duck billed"? It doesn't matter. Both are historically accurate and appear in reliable sources and popular media, so belong in Wikipedia. Doug butler (talk) 11:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

"Sexually dimorphicl" - at least check for typos before locking a page. 80.189.72.64 (talk) 15:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

✅ Fixed, despite snarky tone of request. A page is generally locked for reasons unrelated to its typo count. PianoDan (talk) 16:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
