Talk:List of Zoraida species


 * Thanks for your time and efforts with this page. However, I see several problems with your new format.

Altogether, I feel, it would be clearer for the readers if we go back to the original list. Bernhard Zelazny (talk) 10:17, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Many of the Peggiopsis species have not been formally assigned to the genus Zoraida and I am moving them now to your new section of unassigned species.
 * By removing all the basionyms, you make it difficult to understand the taxonomy and history of the species. For example, Zoraida (Neozoraida) obsoleta was originally described by Kirby as Thracia obsoleta, but unless we know that, we will not be able to find the original description in Kirby's publications.
 * Taxonomically, "Zoraida (Zoraida) borneensis" is not the same as "Zoraida borneensis". In the first case the species has been assigned to a subgenus, in the second case not.
 * There are some problems with the authors (with or without brackets) which I am also correcting now.
 * For new wiki pages of these species (your red links), I think it would by better to have the subgenus in the page title, e.g. "Zoraida (Neozoraida) carpenteri" rather than "Zoraida carpenteri".


 * Most of these issues are best handled via discussion within the articles themselves as they get written. For article names, we do not include the subgenus. That will show up in a properly implemented taxobox and, again, can be handled in the discussion in the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:29, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * But check with WP:Insects. There are folks more knowledgeable there than I. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:10, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi! Something that could be done, instead of having to create hundreds of distinct articles, would be to have a table in the style of List of Cladonota species, where all relevant information (authority, basionym, range, basic information) could be added as time goes on.

 * Thanks for the suggestion, this may be a useful alternative. Bernhard Zelazny (talk) 14:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
