Birthday with no source?

Stephanides' studies
According to the text, it seems that Stephanides studied medicine in Paris only for one year, from 1929 to 1930. Is this possible? If someone knows more about Stephanides' studies on medecine in Paris, please enlighten us. Irigozin (talk) 20:02, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Arctodiaptomus stephanidesi
A fourth crustacean species was named after dr. Stephanides. It is Arctodiaptomus stephanidesi (Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae), described as Diaptomus stephanidesi by Otto Pesta in 1935.

 * I see it obvious and it should not be any other Stephanides, especially in Pesta, O. (1935) Pseudodiaptomiden und Diaptomiden von der Insel Korfu (Griechenland). Zoologischer Anzeiger, 110 (11-12), 310–323., but there is still no secondary source for it, and primary source is not available for me., FYI. --Brunei (talk) 16:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I see that you created an Ukrainian page for Arctodiaptomus stephanidesi, with two sources in the references. Maybe you could use that info in the Stephanides article and update/replace the references. Or I could do that myself, but later. Taurus Littrow (talk) 17:17, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm looking for more sources. Still can't find them, maybe later.--Brunei (talk) 17:29, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Good article nomination
Oops, I guess I shouldn't have started the reviewing process. Sorry, I never did this before. Taurus Littrow (talk) 19:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Re moon crater
, it's in a footnote (diacritics omitted): "Stephanides became a passionate astronomer until the end of his life... Researchers Ewen A. Whitaker and Danny Caes have confirmed (in email correspondence, Aug 2013), that Felix Chemla Lamech did propose the name 'Theodore Stephanides' for 'Romer A', a moon crater. (The I.A.U. did not accept the name.)". Ewen Whitaker lists "Stephanides" as being proposed by Lamech in Mapping and Naming the Moon (1999) p228, but this does not indicate either when it was submitted. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 08:31, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Doesn't matter much, I guess. Taurus Littrow (talk) 08:38, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Re review request
- major WP:COPYVIO problems, in particular with this, but also elsewhere. As mentioned at your talkpage, please also be careful of close paraphrasing when fixing any copyvios. I found these after starting reviewing the lead, and won't review further before things are fixed - existing notes: (broadly, let the reader draw conclusions for themselves based on neutrally worded statements of fact, including statements of expert opinion given due weight). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 03:07, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * As the lead should contain no material that isn't part of the rest of the article, and the article is not controversial, citations can be moved to the body (MOS:LEADCITE)
 * Cut "famous" (MOS:PUFF) - plus what percentage of people worldwide would readily recall Durrell (even with the recent TV series)? What about in ten years?
 * Cut "which is still cited today" (MOS:DATED) - plus if it's the definitive work it can be assumed that it will be cited where relevant...
 * Cut "noted" possibly rearranging that para a little.(MOS:OPED). Similarly, don't use "notably" (noting that this also has a WP specific meaning).
 * I don't think that the generic "acclaimed" (MOS:PUFF) is supported by the evidence in the body.
