Talk:Niobichthys ferrarisi

Author citation
FishBase, used as a reference in this article, does not use initials when citing authorities for this species; neither does Catalog of Fishes, another major fish database which FishBase itself very often uses as a reference regarding taxonomy & nomenclature (Niobichthys ferrarisi Schaefer & Provenzano 1998). From the WP article on author citation:
 * "If the same surname is common to more than one author, initials are sometimes given" but "not all animal groups / databases use this convention" and "it should be noted that in the examples given in the Code and also the ICZN Official Lists and Indexes, initials are not used".
