Foreign names in footnotes
I like what they've done for the lead sentence of North Macedonia, putting the other-language names in footnotes.

Comparison of Ostreidae taxonomy
Harry p. 153 has a summary table of his taxa.

Fuck
FUCK. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck FUCK! Visual Editor just made me lose hours of work. Piece of shit software.

Technically, it was the switching back-and-forth between visual and source mode that killed it, but the only reason I was jumping back to source is because VE wouldn't let me add a wikilink with specific spelling.

Oysters again, wikidata incinsistencies
[need to rewrite this from scratch, or maybe I can't be bothered]

Oyster articles
Might be able to use some of this info in our articles.

 * Littlewood, DTJ, 1994. "Molecular Phylogenetics of Cupped Oysters Based on Partial 28S rRNA Gene Sequences". Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 3(3):221–229.  Found that the Atlantic Crassostrea were related to the Pacific Saccostrea: "topology (Mytilus edulis (Ostrea edulis ((Crassostrea rivularis (C. belcheri, C. gigas))(C. virginica, C. rhizophorae, Saccostrea cuccullata, S. commercialis))))"

All teh datas
Been trying to get my head around RDFa, microdata, microformats and other linked-data topics. Not that I hadn't heard of RDF and μformats, but it's been a long time since I paid any attention to them.

Some of these I haven't read yet or haven't finished reading.


 * RDFa core
 * RDFa Core Initial Context. So many vocab's.
 * Time Ontology in OWL (2017). Even a point in time has a duration. Or maybe two durations: the precision of the clock and its accuracy to "real" time. If a time span has two other time spans as start and end, then is it "turtles all the way down"?
 * Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space, Heath & Bizer, 2011.
 * DBpedia extracts facts from Wikipedia infoboxen and categories, etc.
 * [Structured data with schema.org codelab], Dan Scott (2014).

Zoo pics
Availed myself of the free ticket and visited Taronga Zoo, Taronga Zoo Sydney yesterday. Rather than shooting the photogenic big cats and primates, I spent more time on the birds, reptiles, amphibians and lesser known or endangered species. Some on smartphone and some on DSLR, depending on conditions.

Done:
 * Bellinger River snapping turtle didn't have a picture, now it has three. Also commons:Category:Myuchelys georgesi now exists.
 * Corroboree frog has a good photo already. Added one that shows the breeding facility.

To do:


 * Cunningham's skink already has a gallery, but my shot 100-4758 may be good enough to add.

Maybe:


 * Some decent binturong photos, but that article already has a good one.

Still to check:
 * Broad-headed snake Hoplocephalus bungaroides (commons:Category:Hoplocephalus bungaroides). Sydney region, ¿endangered?.

Goat mutton
Apparently goat meat is called mutton in Australia? WTH?
