Talk:Tapejara wellnhoferi

Untitled
I believe the meaning of the work "Tapejara" to be rather something like "Lord of the roads", instead of the published "The Old Being". --Bilthon (talk) 05:10, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Dab
This page should be dab page, as translate from Portuguese Wikipedia. Matthew_hk  t  c  13:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Restoration
This image was clearly labelled Tapejara wellnhoferi, until someone replaced the name with Tupandactylus navigans. Is there any clear reason why t5his would not be Tapejara wellnhoferi? FunkMonk (talk) 11:17, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

the holotype was destroyed in the Brazilian Natural Museum fire this month
I could add it, but will let the more involved pterophiles do the deed. Very sad, irreplaceable loss.50.111.25.206 (talk) 16:22, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * We don't know for certain yet, they are still searching the rubble. Many of the fossils were stored in metal cabinets, and may be intact. FunkMonk (talk) 17:38, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Tapejara (pterosaur) → Tapejara wellnhoferi – Tapejara is a monotypic genus (i.e. it only has one species), per WP:MONOTYPICTAXA. Jurassic Classic 767 (talk &#124; contribs) 21:40, 22 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Support Monotypic genera are usually at the genus title, except when the genus title is ambiguous with another topic. Move to Tapejara wellnhoferi as a form of natural disambiguation. Plantdrew (talk) 21:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Pronunciation
It's not at all clear that the  in  should be /dʒ/. The Wikipedia page on Tupí doesn't list anything I could envision a  writing; the closest would be /j/ (explicitly not the English  sound!) or /ʃ/ (which would probably be written , and I imagine is in ). It certainly doesn't have /dʒ/! 130.164.62.76 (talk) 13:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I've removed it. Scientific names don't necessarily have a single correct pronunciation, especially in cases where an element of the name is derived from a language other than Greek or Latin (in that case, it can be debated whether pronunciation should follow the original language, or should be Latinesque).
