Talk:Morgan Hebard

Italics
, Should the genera terms be italicized?–CaroleHenson (talk) 12:40, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Citation formatting and page citing
This text was in the article, but there needs to be some work on the citations and it will be easier to explain here:


 * In 1916, he erected both the Genera Symploce and Xestoblatta, and in 1929 he described several new genera of Malayan Blattidae on a scientific base including the genera Shelfordina , Malaccina, Graptoblatta and Hebardula.


 * Extraneous citations:


 * You just need to have the source for the information, not the footnotes from the subject of the article (a primary source).
 * The footnote, though, should cover the content from the secondary source and it doesn't look like page 1 covers the source.
 * The author names and titles don't need to be capitalized, as they are in a few cases, like "STUDIES ON MALAYAN BLATTIDAE".–CaroleHenson (talk) 03:12, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Absolutely right. This passage was definitely a 'work in progress' and did not belong on the finished page. Thank you for setting up this "talk" page. As an almost total newbie, it often takes me a few passes to get formatting and citations sorted properly and going straight to the completed page was an act of premature confidence that I would eventually work out the glitches. I really do appreciate your help in working this stuff out. Perrydigm (talk) 21:42, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Have a citation for this?
"Species were also named in his honor by others including Hebardia Pellucida."

You're absolutely right about these issues. I was used to using the page as a 'work in progress' and was effectively making notes to myself for later follow-up and hadn't converted to the higher standards due for a functioning page... This is a much better way to address the multiple issues. Thanks for setting it up, and thanks again for ALL the help with this page/process Perrydigm (talk) 21:31, 15 May 2017 (UTC)


 * It's my pleasure.–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:52, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
