Talk:Ypresiomyrma

Added image, reconstruction of Y. orbiculata
I have done a reconstruction of Y. orbiculata from the type fossil, and have filled in unclear details with morphology from the extant, closely related Nothomyrmecia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M. A. Broussard (talk • contribs) 00:31, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

new species, Ypresiomyrma orientalis Dlussky et al 2015
There is an additional species described earlier this year by Dlussky. Ypresiomyrma orientalis. Here's the link to the paper. -- Kev min  § 01:45, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll incorporate the info into the article, though I'll probably need you to double check my edits, since I'm not very specalised with palaeontology. Burklemore1 (talk) 01:55, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Notify me when it's added, then I'll check it out. FunkMonk (talk) 02:06, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Will do. I have already done some updates, but I'm going to add the description of the species in now. Burklemore1 (talk) 02:14, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Species update done, and I hope you dont mind me overwriting the edit-conflict .-- Kev min  § 02:24, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I was only up to my second sentence. Pinging . Burklemore1 (talk) 02:30, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * One thing, "Okanaga" is not mentioned anywhere in the article to refer to the two American species, only in the new section. Should be mentioned earlier then, if it is to make sense for the reader. FunkMonk (talk) 07:04, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I've changed it to "British Columbian", since the article clearly states the fossils originate from there. Burklemore1 (talk) 10:37, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * But isn't it important to at least mention Okanaga somewhere in the article? It is even mentioned in some cited article titles. FunkMonk (talk) 10:57, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Just to pop in, as someone who actually lives in the Okanagan, I know that "Okanaga" is a misspelling for the former.  IJReid  discuss 13:48, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Okanaga was a typo on my part, I meant to type Okanagan highlands, as that is the paleontology term for the string of Ypresian lakes extending from Smithers BC down to Republic, WA. Note that the title of A,C, & M 2006 is ''Bulldog ants of the Eocene Okanagan highlands"-- Kev  min  § 14:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes some sense. I actually live within the highlands I guess, although I've never heard the cascade mountains referred to as highlands. IJReid  discuss 23:48, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Hmm, the Cascades aren't part of the highlands. Its the area to the east of the Okanagan River/Lake Osoyoos and the Columbia River. The Cascades are west of that and considered a different province.-- Kev min  § 00:43, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Ooh, yah that makes sense. The highlands are in the region between the Rockies and the Cascades, in the Kootney-ish area. IJReid  discuss 03:39, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Funny coincidence,, go find some ants! FunkMonk (talk) 05:17, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wasn't sure how to change your suggestion, so I should have left that to Kevmin. Oops. If you find find fossil ants btw, name them after fellow Wikipedians. Burklemore1 (talk) 05:38, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, do you people know anyone know who is willing to conduct a source review for my Fac? I think it's all good with three supports and a completed image review. Burklemore1 (talk) 05:43, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You have to request those here nowadays: Oh, I see you did already, now it's just waiting. It will not be failed when it has three supports. FunkMonk (talk) 05:47, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was just curious if anyone out there would be interested, even though I did send a request. I'd assume it will be listed A FA once that review is finish though. Burklemore1 (talk) 08:19, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Hehehe, any ant I name is gonna be Foveromyrmex wikipedianorum - "awesome ant of wikipedia". :) IJReid  discuss 15:03, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * LOl, sounds like we may be similar distances from OK hignlands fossil sites Ian. Im about 5 hours drive from the Stonerose Interpretive Center, and love that area-- Kev  min  § 21:56, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, never been there, but I know its about a 4 hour drive from here to Vancouver, but thats in the opposite direction. IJReid  discuss 23:25, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Fore-wing
I saw your revert. The article uses "forewing", "forewings" and "fore-wing". I was standardizing on the most common use and the one used in Insect wing. Does that make sense to you? Thanks, SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨   01:27, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Got it, I didnt see that there were multiple formats, now I understand what you were doing.-- Kev min  § 01:31, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
