Sex, drugs, rock & roll

 * Cannabis incoming links aren't the genus
 * Copulation (zoology)/Copulation
 * Monogamy links partner as significant other, not sexual partner
 * Sex incoming links aren't about biological males and females
 * Egg no primary topic. Chicken eggs as food, other rigid shelled animal reproductive structures, oocytes
 * Gravid incoming links almost entirely non-human; gravidity has some non-human; Gravidity and parity lead states women
 * Hollywood as a metonym
 * Awheto links from New Zealand topics
 * Baylisascaris shroederi; giant panda roundworm, no known human infections, written as a medical article
 * Kidney dialysis; wow, medical topic moved and no longer squatting on basic title dialysis


 * Wikipedia could perhaps use an article on Lenten fish dispensations (I'm no theologian, but I think it counts as fasting if you eat something weird instead of the usual). UK beaver, seal, porpoise, heron, even sheep found drinking from streams Beaver in STL; barnacle geese, hippos, capybara. Covered so far at Fasting and abstinence in the Catholic Church


 * Why is ‘Orthocoronavirinae’ a Hot Google Search? (August 2020) Well, I'd guess it might have something to do with the subject Wikipedia has decided to associate with "coronavirus". This article is the top Google result (16 Jan 2021) for "Orthocoronavirinae". The next two are NCBI taxonomy. Wikipedia is #4, but Google throws a bunch of stuff related to the pandemic before it gets to Wikipedia. d:Q89469904 has 78 Wikipedia articles. d:Q57751738 has 46, mostly in minor languages. Major language Wikipedias are doing more poorly in putting the pandemic in context with its cousins. (Bing, Duckduckgo and Yahoo all return a box for the Wikipedia article when searching Orthocoronavirinae). (2023 update) Coronavirus isn't likely to be getting new incoming links now, but I'm not convinced [COVID-19]] is the COMMONNAME over covid/COVID (capitalize as you will). And Covid test is what people are actually going to search for, not COVID-19 testing if we're going back to the complete dumb-fuck (2005ish) era of Wikipedia title where Wikipedia needs to optimize titles for Google rather than vice versa (Ok, not actually "vice versa", but search engines find Wikipedia articles however they are titled now).


 * Heteroconger chapmani; might be interesting to have lists of destroyed holotypes? Manila fish, Berlin herbarium, Brazilian national museum?


 * Muscle
 * Pinworm (parasite)


 * Parsana malekiana only case I'm aware of where authors have named a taxon after themselves; should have split authorship; Maleki for the genus and Parsa for the species.


 * Mormon there is no justification for a plural title for Mormons. Wikipedia situation results from a series of edits in 2011 that didn't want to deal with the ambiguous links.


 * Talk:Gut microbiota/Archive 1; move discussions about specifying "human"

Disfavored cladistic hypotheses articles
Especially for articles involving competing relationships between three clades with a well defined parent (i.e. a clade for every node in the tree). Need a category for these (Cat:Obsolete cladistic hypotheses)? Should not be included in child auto taxoboxes (clade for every node is excessive).
 * Tactopoda (=Tardigrades+Euarthropods, Onychophora out; appears more recent evidence is for Euarthropods+Onychophora) parent = Panarthropoda/Lobopodia
 * Halvaria (=Heterokonts+Alveolata, Rhizaria out; Halvaria article suggests evidence is for Rhizaria+Alveolata, Heterokonts out) parent = SAR/Chromalveolata
 * Excavata nope

To Do
|Bake-danuki|Japanese_raccoon_dog Tanuki views
 * List of Eugenia species
 * Paroreomyza montana; needs article
 * Solenopora; algae, but should be a sponge?
 * Athyana; IPNI and POWO seem to have different IDs for different spellings of the sole species
 * Capraria Scroph or Plantaginaceae?
 * Pleurobema furvum is the synonym, Pleurobema rubellum'' is the valid name
 * Cleidothaerus not monotypic
 * Athyana weinmannifolia] epithet spelling
 * Ficalhoa laurifolia; apparently monotypic, move to genus??
 * Arisaema utile; history split? started out as an article on a mythical plant with a dubious identification
 * Talk:× Cambria; not a hybrid?
 * Strobilanthes callosa malformed redirects
 * Syagrus cearensis; coco babao needs disambiguation
 * Pseudotsuga menziesii var. lindleyana; combination as a variety has not been published
 * Fox spirit; broad concept including kitsune and other east Asian spirits. Kitsune should be a dab if there's ever a page for the Japanese fox subspecies.
 * Aplocheilidae needs update
 * Check status of Atitara (plant) and remove from list at Cocoseae
 * Roystoneeae is apparently correct spelling, needs update in taxonomy template if so
 * Move Arctiinae (moth) to Arctiinae (check links, this is a weird situation)
 * Oroxylum indicum; monotypic, history at both title, just copy paste
 * Diplotaxis simplex/Diplotaxis simplex (plant); disambiguate
 * Zanthoxylum bungeanum needs straightening out
 * Tulipa tarda, move to Tulipa urumiensis and add subgenus to taxobox, also Tulipa schrenkii to Tulipa suaveolens
 * Magnolia blumei move to Magnolia sumatrana var. glauca


 * Garden marguerite; unique infobox, also river dolphin

Taxobox authority is junk
 * Noccaea montana; my creation, confusion with European species still remains (POWO item is European)


 * incoming links/redirects to Synonymy synonyms, Synonym (taxonomy), Taxonomy (biology)
 * Naufraga (plant) is monotypic, should use binomial title
 * Ixieae should be redirected to Croceae when that exists


 * Wightia (plant); two species, and family placement isn't well settled. Add species articles and update if APGIV family consensus changes


 * Shell mound redirects to midden, but most of the content is shell specific. Shell mound was merged to midden.


 * Check taxonomy template edits by User:Awesome209 and User:Awesome 210. 209's my have been fixed. 210's haven't (at least not for [{Tactopoda]] as parent of arthropods).
 * Template:Taxonomy/Platyzoa is also dubious


 * Disambiguate links to Synonymy


 * Switch to (taxonomy) dab terms for Subclass (biology) and other minor ranks


 * (genus) dab terms (I had a search for this, need to find and relink}


 * Article challenge; any British species that also occur in another part of the English speaking world (whether circumboreal, weedy, invasive) should have articles. (Rationale; British Isles have highest ratio of English speakers to plant species, should be a priority for a complete article set, but I'm not interested in British plants per se). Mashup BSBI vs. USDA PLANTS/FNA, AU/NZ/ZA databases to find missing articles.

Category:Potentially dangerous food

Is hoax Ctenophthalmus nepalensis a nomen nudum? What project banners should it take?

species epithet, specific epithet, epithet (disambiguation), and linked concepts need sorting. Epitheton and any links to epithet with a taxobox can be made more specific (project for Blue Link Patrol). herb, Hollywood, sex, Cannabis

section (biology); many links from fungi that should go to botany sense

Dab Stelis vs. Stelis (insect)? And list of Stelis (insect) species?


 * Cleisostoma recurvum appears to be some sort of data error from TPL 1.0 (see Spanish article); should probably merge to Cleisostoma rostratum


 * Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird Webcam

Category:Redirects from former names; check for scientific names

Short description; a bunch of Cladonia species had one starting with a period; should check for nonalphabetic characters at the beginning

Gelinae vs. Cryptinae; is this name H.K.Townes non-ICZN parallel taxonomy?

CreatorGate; news story rolled into a controversy section. Flash in the pan controversy occurring in the Wikipedia era either deserve articles or nothing. Should not be in an article on a publication (and ROGD section at target should be not much more than a See Also). Why does Wikipedia have any articles with "controversy" title that aren't forks from an unambiguous base name (i.e. not gamergate)? Flat earth, global warming, creationism, moon landing. Compare (conspiracy theory).

Fritillary/Fritillaries; need disambiguation

Wingspan; covers bird and planes, etc. On a related note Pitch (flight) linked in Kuehneosaurus, Yaw, pitch, and roll merged in 2010, with 3 targets since merge (going from ->math->vehicle->aircraft with successive retargets)

Screwworm, Screw worm infection need sorting. Old/New World species, etc

==Information as a section header (and IPC, PC, IC, Cultural references)

Brickellia californica; includes most of the bad ecozone categories for SW US

Inflata; my redirect to Wiktionary was reverted, take to RfD

Hominina should perhaps be an article; scope of australopithecine needs discussion

Snowball plant, untagged. SIA?

Snow Lian Hua nonsense title merged in 2013. Delete?

Saussurea gossypiphora or Saussurea gossipiphora

Update genera for Astereae (and add taxonomy template refs), Cardueae and Cichorieae

Acarne no such genus, just an epithet for Pagellus acarne?

DAB links to List of plants known as lotus


 * Cereus elegans; probably should be a homonym dab page (and likely other C. elegans articles)


 * Fragaria × Comarum hybrids; add taxobox for × Comagaria


 * az:Leonotis artemisia doesn't exist, no suitable target (az:Leonurus japonicus)


 * "used to cure" isn't really appropriate language even for treatments that are backed by MEDRS (except maybe for current language at kidney; "nephrectomy is frequently used to cure renal cell carcinoma" (yes, if renal cells are removed, a patient no longer has renal cell carcinoma (but it may have metastasized)). Also "cure for".


 * Animal cell, Animal cells, Plant & Animal Cells and Plant cell, Fungal cell


 * Ophioceratidae, Ophiceratidae distinct, but mixed up on Wikipedia and IRMNG (Ophiceras, Ophioceras)


 * List of onion cultivars; a list of species


 * Veronica recurva; combination not published, POWO now has Hebe recurva as a synonym of Veronica albicans


 * Baoris unicolor (disambiguation); disambiguation page at valid name


 * Primula hortensis


 * Aster quitensis; unplaced per POWO

 * Pouzolzia australis full synonym list from POWO; FOAO2 seems to be in sync with POWO synonymy


 * Feijoa; move back to genus/common name title


 * 1469 Linzia, Linzia, Linzia (plant); taking Linzia to RfD would likely resolve in a dab page. Dab folks are nervous about red-links. Nothing that passes GNG standards of some folks


 * Quercus cordifolia; synonym


 * Viola soraria as state symbol for Illinois and Rhode Island? Not sure if any "violet" species is specified. Illinois has a state wildflower, so the violet isn't wild? Wisconsin does list a (synonymous) species. Not sure about New Jersey, but List of U.S. state and territory flowers list as species.


 * Mononymous (usually Brazilian) footballers disambiguated by birth year. I guess COMMONNAME is the reason for not using a polynymous birth name. And WikiProject Football has their NOTNOTBROKEN thing.

NOBIGDEAL redirects to a policy page. Is this actually a (non-deprecated/historical) policy?


 * Potamotyphlus kaupii; should be Potomotyphlus (I moved to the wrong spelling, but taxonbar sources had that spelling at that time)

 * Medicago italica; syn of M. tornata


 * Rhododendron catawbiense; had subsection in manual taxobox


 * Valid name (botany); links may be getting things mixed up with the zoological sense (and Correct name (botany) at e.g. GA Collybia cirrhata is misused where valid would be the appropriate term)

 * Rhizostomae, spelled Rhizostomeae in all(?) sources


 * Rhaponticum scariosum; unplaced per POWO

Parakaryon myojinensis, river dolphin; one of a kind "taxoboxes"


 * Species-group; probably an ICZN term with that hyphenation, and not the same as species group


 * Plant species

Tirante is Evoxymetopon taeniatu


 * Arhythmacanthidae has species/genera redirecting with no rcats


 * Satureja gilliesii; setup as a SIA (with references), but I think the only case where a homonym isn't a dab


 * Eulophia dentata/taiwanensis

 * Genera redirecting to List of whitefly species


 * Tetragonia tetragonioides; spelling vs. Tetragonia tetragonoides


 * Sqaurenose unicornfish; misspelled
 * Ichthyophaga; need article for worm genus
 * Megadrile; taxon? taxobox? earthworm is Lumbricina, but Moniligastrida also describes members as earthworms


 * Morwong (genus) is a subgenus


 * Gigantocoreabus spelling
 * Jingtang Lotus Roots. notable?
 * Jakhya redirect?


 * Barnaviridae cut and paste moved


 * Rhamphospora nymphaeae; monotypic genus


 * Scandosorbus intermedia, claimed to be a hybrid of Sorbus aucuparia, S. torminalis and another species. POWO has two species in Scandosorbus, none of which are the hybrid parents.


 * Saints on animal and plant life; poor title (recently moved from a worse one), notable topic?


 * Aristolochia cordifolia homonym, fossil has priority (remove IFPNI from Wikidata item? item has no authority)


 * Cleome hassleriana move back? POWO adopting a massively disruptive position here. Dracaena americana'' title is contrary to another disruptive POWO position. I'd expect some conservation proposals to be forthcoming.


 * Civil Conflict; probably notable as dumbest sports rivalry, but sheesh


 * Anisocapparis speciosa; genus a synonym


 * Clematis laurifolia on iNat; no record in IPNI, etc. (GBIF does have it though, but via iNat?) Clematis horripilata here


 * Archivea listed as a synonym at Stanhopeinae. It is accepted but postdates Chase.


 * Tiger anemone; make dab page? Seems to be recentism for the Singapore species.


 * Gallic horse; needs taxobox?


 * Satsumautsunomiyaryu badly needs cleanup. Taxobox, dinosaur category, not even clear what the name is. Also Satsumayokuryu

 * Living species are African, are there fossils from the Americas? Afro-American sideneck turtles

Bee shrimp/Golden bee shrimp; quite a mess with Wikidata items and interwiki links. Which is the species and which are aquarium variants?


 * Black four-eyed opossum; needs article for this species


 * Gray and black four-eyed opossum; a Wikipedia invention; not used in two of the sources in the taxobox (one uses gray four-eyed opposum for the genus). The one source that mentions "gray and black four-eyed opossums" also uses "pouched/pouchless four-eyed opossums" in a discussion about the confusing taxonomic history of two generic names. "Gray and black" is a descriptor uniting two species and shouldn't be used in a singular form. A similar situation would be having "Asian foozle: and "European foozle" in genus A and "American foozle" in genus B. "Asian and European foozle" wouldn't be a common name for genus A and isn't an appropriate article title.


 * Large black flying squirrel; hidden noten since 2010 questioning that the title is a common name for the entire genus


 * Indian king mackerel; made up on Wikipedia, delete?


 * Kinetofragminophora; obsolete


 * Fish disease and parasites. Wow. At that title for 6 years now from Fish diseases and parasites

 * Tomont redirects to Apicomplexan life cycle, with incoming links from Velvet (fish disease) (context is a dinoflagellate) and Cryptocaryon (a ciliate)


 * Halkieriid genera redirecting there


 * Cream-bellied munia; Avibase gives hybrid formula as Chestnut x Five-colored Munia and Lonchura [ferruginosa x quinticolor] . Ferruginosa is not the chestnut munia.

 * Chiloglanis sp. nov. 'Northern Ewaso Nyiro'; IUCN record deleted, no other source (Chanler Falls suckermouth a common name? described as Chiloglanis devosi?)


 * Eulalia aurea (annelid) needs article; Eulalia aurea is probably a primary topic


 * Gastrocotylinae no longer accepted on WoRMS


 * merge Pachgerocereus orcuttii


 * Platyhelminthes stuff: Opecoelidae, elevate Stenakrinae to family. Ancyrocephalidae genus homonyms (2 green links, and Leptocleidus). Empty Category:Turbellaria (and Category:Platyhelminthes), move Tetrabothriidea to Tetrabothriidae. Standardize dab terms; see Special:WhatLinksHere/Macrostomidae and Cyclocotyla (worm) for some redirects

 * Nothobranchius sp. nov. 'Lake Victoria'; IUCN record deleted, but article does have another source that mentions the fish


 * Pachypanchax sp. nov. 'Tsiribihina' and Pantanodon sp. nov. 'Manombo'; taxonbar IUCN link doesn't work, and DOI link in ref doesn't work, but there is an IUCN link that works in the refs title. Any other "dead" IUCN pages accessible?


 * Scientific name rcats pipe scientific name to Biological nomenclature which redirects to Nomenclature codes. scientific name redirects to binomial nomenclature. Rcats aside, scientific name should redirect to something that is not binomial nomenclature.

 * update Flustrina

 * articles for orders of Clam shrimp


 * Plants with possibilities links Camptotheca acumina linked from chemotherapy. Diplanthera ciliata synonym avoided double redirect. Boutonia created for homonym in different family. Should subtribes such as Floydiinae have possibilities?


 * Links to redirects to species; Species (biology), animal species

Dab links to Scale (zoology) (articles exist for fish scale and reptile scale)


 * Muraenichthys iredalei redirect to another species but a synonym of Scolecenchelys iredalei. There are vernacular name redirects to take care of e.g. Iredale's worm eel

 * Helicobacter heilmannii s.s/Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato

Good wording: Setaria verticillata is a species of grass known by the common names....

Tropical hardwoods that shouldn't redirect to one species

 * Chia<- Salvia hispanica
 * Mulberry<- Morus (plant)
 * Carnation<- Dianthus caryophyllus
 * Orchid<- Orchidaceae
 * Buckthorn<- Rhamnus (genus)


 * Macadamia for the nuts? incoming redirects to genus page need some work


 * Rosa Peace Peace rose? Cultivar quotes? But it is not actually Rosa 'Peace'.

Retitle to scientific name?
(two stars=common name may be appropriate, or other issues with a straight move to scientific name).. Pines mostly at coined vernacular names because not well enough known to accumulate real common names
 * Bishop pine; restricted CA endemic, NT conservation status
 * Caribbean pine; Belize, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos (and widespread in Spanish speaking nations on the Caribbean)
 * Chihuahua white pine; presence outside of Mexico tied up with taxonomic status of Pinus reflexa
 * Coulter pine; scattered pops in CA and Baja, NT status, another common name
 * Jack pine; widespread in eastern North America
 * Jeffrey pine; CA, OR, Baja. Doubtful that anybody rely on common names can distinguish this from ponderosa pine (which is a far better candidate for common name title). Other common names
 * Knobcone pine CA, OR, mostly scattered pops, but abundant in Siskiyous
 * Scots pine Only pine native to British Isles. Good candidate for common name title
 * Stone pine Continental Europe, classic source of pine nuts. Multiple common names though, and "stone pine" also appears in common name for P. cembra, P. pumila, P. sibirica, P. cembroides, P. roxburghii, P. koraiensis (and P. albicaulis is "a stone pine"; i.e. subsection cembrae (P. roxburghii and P. cembroides are not cembrae, the other 5 correspond with the taxon).
 * Table mountain pine Appalachian
 * Torrey pine narrow CA endemic, VU status
 * Western white pine, fairly widespread in western North America, and is apparently well enough known to have multiple common names, so yeah...

Other
 * Abacá; not that well known, diacritics, separate article on Manila hemp.
 * Açaí palm are people really typing those diacritics? common name might be appropriate, but not like that. "palm" isn't really necessary and definitely shouldn't be mixed with Portuguese diacritics
 * Aglaomorpha (fern); technical move to (plant) disambiguator; only (fern) dabbed article
 * Alupag (not clear what scientific name is though)
 * American chestnut

 * Cupuaçu
 * Curry tree
 * Damson (maybe...Damson plum?); non admin move possible
 * Date-plum
 * Devil's Club
 * Dragon's mouth

 * Hazel, important temperate tree genera usually at common name, but hazelnut covers most of the importance here.
 * Holly (to Ilex aquifolium)
 * Honey locust
 * Honeysuckle nonadmin possible
 * Hornbeam; non-admin move possible. Most incoming links going for Carpinus betulus.

 * Konjac
 * Lava cactus
 * Lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria or Ficaria verna)

 * Mock strawberry (but recent genus change)
 * Mongongo (fairly well known at this name?)

 * Mung bean

 * Njangsa (multiple common names, none of them English (and duplicate article with monotypic genus Ricinodendron)
 * Pacific Silverweed (wow! can move where ever, but name is all over the place: TPL unresolved for P./A. pacifica, GRIN Potentilla anserina pacifica, PLANTS Argentina egedii egedii, no FNA yet, classic floras(Gle&Cron/Hitc&Cron) as Potentilla pacifica. quite a puzzle.)
 * Paper mulberry

 * Rapeseed (really associated with oil production. are rutabagas and colza not B. napus?)

 * Spanish moss; pretty well known by common name
 * Spearmint
 * St. Augustine Grass
 * Swamp dewberry (not even the most popular common name; bristly dewberry)
 * Sweet pea Is this an endearment, or a name for a plant?
 * Tamarillo (tree tomato? Has rebranding as tamarillo really taken off?)

 * Totora (plant) (subsp. title is kinda ugly though)
 * Trifoliate orange (non admin move to monotypic genus possible)
 * Tupelo (non admin move to Nyssa (plant) possible; base Nyssa not available, but Tupelo itself might be better as a dab (gets incoming links for Tupelo, MS)
 * Valerian (herb) Valerian is ambiguous. Would Valerian (plant) be a better common name title?
 * Virginia strawberry
 * Waling-waling
 * Waratah; common name for just Telopea speciosissima or the entire Telopea genus? (non admin move to Telopea (plant) possible, but genus should be primary topic at base title)
 * Wasabi; split out Eutrema japonica and focus on condiment (which only rarely includes E. japonica as an ingredient).
 * Water caltrop other names, ling nut, etc. (sort out Trapa/Trapa natans)
 * Water dropwort; should be a dab. O. javanica should get a lot of the incoming links (and Google search for "water dropwort -hemlock" has a lot of edible uses)
 * White mustard
 * White sapote Casimiroa edulis has 45k google, White sapote 42k (and it only gets worse on books/scholar)
 * Whitebeam
 * Wild rice (sort out Zizania, Zizania aquatica, Zizania palustris
 * Winged bean (maybe OK, but multiple common names, and hatnote)
 * Winter melon (not too uncommon a vegetable, but multiple names)

 * Wiliwili (seems to be well known by common name...)
 * Witch-hazel; also a common name for Trichocladus species
 * Yacón (diacritic? not an English common name, though yacon might be)
 * Yam (vegetable) current title doesn't adequately disambiguate sweet potato or oca. Dioscorea is split, but how to handle?
 * Yareta no evidence that this is an English common name
 * Yellow-fruit nightshade
 * Yerba mate (previous discussion seemed to have consensus to split species, but not to redirect yerba mate to mate (beverage))


 * Terebinth, longleaf pine, blue agave moved via RM

Other

 * Thousands of redirects from species to genus tagged with generic possibilities. Also, User:Mattximus, creating species to family redirects


 * Bignonia binata; good example of crazy Caftaric redirects


 * Hydrodictyon/Water net; one of few algae at vernacular name

Multiple taxoboxes:
 * Bongo (antelope)
 * Rosy bitterling
 * Rhizoctonia solani
 * Halkieriid


 * Bushbuck discusses two species, one of which has a separate article. No redirect for Tragelaphus sylvaticus


 * Beaded lizard links need disambiguation followed by retarget to Heloderma

Mystery: How did page views go up for both Beta vulgaris/beetroot (beet) and Silybum/Silybum marianum (milk thistle)after common name redirected to more specific (and more commonly called) topic? Check Curcuma aromatica for page views after 18 Sep 2013 redirect creation. Check Vigna aconitifolia after 10/26/2013 move from Moth bean. Check Phytolacca/Phytolacca americana after 1/28/2014 reassignment of redirecting common names to species. Check Sphaeramia orbicularis after 10/15/2014 move and creation of redirects. Plant moves to common name Blue spruce seems to have lower page views since 6/2013 move; how are page views for spearmint and ajwain.

|Vincetoxicum_nigrum What happens to page views after move from synonym to more widely accepted name (move 12/19/19)

Urophycis regia 5210 Google hits, Spotted hake 4210, Spotted codling 1740. Article created 11/18/2014, redirects created 11/19/2014. How will having Wikipedia article influence hits for scientific and vernacular? Check back in a few months.

Heterotoma/Heterotoma (bug); needs better disambiguation

Stoma; needs medical links disambiguated

Thorax; probably more links from arthropods than humans (and chest is also ambiguous)

Merge: Seriola/Amberjack and Peacock bass/Cichla

Sartidia perrieri; take to GA? Probably all that written about a plant known from a single specimen. Also Sorbus × houstoniae. And Armadillidium stolikanum (two specimens)

Gigantea (alga); monotypic, but species Gigantea bulbosa is illegitimate per Algaebase. G. bulbosa isn't the type. Need article for Saccorhiza polyschides to accomodate bulbosa and article at Laminaria digitata with redirect Gigantea digitata to take care of type (then redirect genus to Laminaria)

Harungana;erroneously monotypic

Rollinia deliciosa needs move to Rollinia mucosa?

Housefly; against usual practice for Diptera common names

Rosa wichuraiana, Rosa luciae TPL and BSBI have synonymy going the other way (luciae accepted). USDA PLANTS accepts wichuraiana

Check: Gloxinia and Gloxinia (genus)

Myleus shomburgkii; misspelled, needs technical move; Lana's sawshark needs cut and paste move repair

Nesaea needs to turn into two (or more) stubs. Plant genus, nymph, algae genus....

Egg needs dab repair with Egg (food). Milk really should have cow milk link somewhere (and dab repair).

Skimmed incoming links to Turkey intending the bird through here

Dead man's fingers: common name for 1 plant, 1 animal, 1 fungus and 1 algae. Any category for this?

Dabs to look at:
 * Buckbrush
 * Leatherwood
 * Coneflower
 * Yellow Coneflower Yellow cone flower Yellow coneflower


 * Yellow daisy as a dab?
 * Plumbago (disambiguation); plant at base title?


 * Pondweed-redirect to Potamogeton with hatnote for List of plants known as pondweed?

Quassia links:   Quassia_amara Picrasma_excelsa [] []


 * Purslane redirect to P. oleracea?
 * Dewberry convert to SIA? Redirect to R. caesius?
 * Geranium move to Geranium (genus); Pelargonium is a problem
 * Snapdragon-Antirrhinum or Antirrhinum majus (or dab at base title? Most incoming links are computer hardware)

Mountain cranberry (see old version); MOSDAB ridiculous links Also, see Loosestrife; for more MOSDAB ridiculousness

Misspelling Bealia blocking base title for Bealia (genus). Attalea doesn't really seem to be used for anything but the palm

Seaweed: Gim (food)/Laver (seaweed)/Nori for edible Porphyra

Check incoming links to Tiliaceae Morinaceae, Valerianaceae Myrsinaceae Dipsacaceae Sterculiaceae Bombacaceae Asclepiadaceae Flacourtiaceae Aceraceae, Dicotyledon and APGIIIify (also revisit Burmanniaceae] to resplit Thismiaceae) Also, check [{Tracheophyta]]/Magnoliopsida for non APG

Balete tree/Banyan/Strangler fig: what's the difference?

Interesting: Navicella, Lobularia, Riedelia, Urceola, Ulvella, Stromatella,Romanoa, Coccobotrys, Sachsia, Tridens, Cystodium, Hystrix, Hugueninia (Tropicos say older fungal Cystodium is rejected). Algae/Fungi/Plant homonyms. How many more of these are recognized by Wikipedia? Taxonomic community needs to catch up, this should be a quick publication for somebody. Dianella is two animal genera (and a plant). Hahnia, two animal genera Schlechtendalia, two insect genera. Pogonodon and Pogonodon (gastropod). Animals Ortalis and Ortalis (ulidiid). Tetraptera is an "accepted" "nom. illeg." at Algaebase; alga needs a replacement name. Pyrausta quadrimaculalis (Dognin, 1908); unreplaced junior homonym

|Misguided MOSDAB edit


 * Xanthomixis/Xanthomixis (moth); both animals, bird taxonomy template disambiguated


 * Petrophyton/Petrophyton (alga) keep misspelling as a redirect?


 * Paramecia vs. Paramecium; dab for singular usage of paramecium?

Genus dab page for Passerina?

Special:WhatLinksHere/Oroxylum_indicum; dozens and dozens of foreign language common name redirects


 * Indigo snake (species); not found in North America/English speaking areas; two other indigo snake species are.


 * Archamia (genus) and Archamia


 * [Argonautoidea]]/Argonautoida


 * Volcano mouse keeps attracting content for Mexican volcano mouse.


 * Spur (botany); incomplete disambiguation, not to mention Spur (biology)


 * Struszia mccartneyi; monotypic paleo genus, but probably of most interest for the etymology of the specific epithet


 * Peristome covers mosses, pitcher plants, fungi and gastropods. Needs a split


 * Talk:Namdapha flying squirrel; sarcastic IP comment about vocabulary


 * Ortmannia; plant synonym attracting links for prehistoric sponge


 * Vitis 'Ornamental Grape'; cultivar name surely made up by Wikipedia

Ok, nobody is searching for Batoidea. Ray is ambiguous. Ray (fish) is not a NATURAL link, but may be a natural search term

Scientific/vernacular name issues
Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mammals/Archive_6 Big picture: "Cordulegaster bidentata, also known as sombre goldenring or two-toothed goldenring is a member of the Cordulegastridae family." That lead does nothing for readers. It doesn't matter how the names are presented if the article offers no context. "The common macrotona (Macrotona australis) is found in southern and eastern Australia."

Another big picture "The western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) is a medium-sized icterid bird...". You don't say "icterid" to a general audience. Using the term assumes at the very least that the audience understands the concept of zoological families and knows that "fooid" is a short hand way of referring to one (i.e it's short hand specialist jargon, not a "common name" to be preferred over the scientific name). regex $id for others like this. Birds are just Icterid, Mimid and Calidrid with 119 articles at $idae and 14 more $idae redirect (presumably monotypy).

Arctocephalus forsteri was moved to scientific name in an RM.

The Coiba spinetail, Cranioleuca dissita, is a Furnariid..." Maybe the word "bird" should be in there somewhere?

The southern carmine bee-eater (Merops nubicoides) (formerly carmine bee-eater) occurs across sub-equatorial Africa.

Some of the top scientific names on insects popular pages in March 2016. #16 Coccinellidae; ladybugs (US, not true bugs), ladybirds, (UK, not birds), lady beetles (3 out of 5 entomologists recommend this common name!!!). #12 Aedes aegypti; I've aware of this name, not aware of the common name name. #56 Aedes albopictus, I'm more aware of common name here. #24 Drosophila melanogaster; yeah. #30 Paraponera clavata; sounds familiar to me as scientific name, very good candidate for common name, people are still finding it by scientific name. Reduviidae; I've heard the name, no clue what they are, good common name and people get here anyway apparently. #37 Lepidoptera. That's the top 60 that aren't at common name.

Chatham penguin; 180 from the usual; Wikipedia appears to have invented a binomial for an undescribed species.

Talk:Procyon_(genus)/Archive_1; common raccoon moved to raccoon

Dislisazancik baligi; probably even harder to pronounce than the scientific name

Gerbillus vivax, what the holy hell.

Porcupine; Always Erethizon dorsatum in North American contexts. Better to have a dab page

Etheostoma obama, the spangled darter; if anybody is interested in this, it's because of the scientific name, not the common name

Pulsating xenid; scientific name is more commonly used and title is ambiguous. Can be any number of Xenia/Heteroxenia species. Most common form is "pulsing xenia" which most frequently refers to Xenia elongata.

Blue-headed partridge-dove; so, scientific studies have proved the English name to be incorrect. That is not how this works.

Sooty woodpecker, abandoned by IOC, needs disamiguation now. Wikipedia can't realistically rely on IOC common names that are regularly discarded.

Psychodidae, moth fly, drain fly mess

Myaka mess

Pleistocene New Zealand sea lion 10 Google hits as of 7/10/16, most based on paper. Is this a description or a common name (note to self, check paper)?

Saint Piran's Crab now back at scientific name, but holy hell. Facebook thread that hasn't been updated with a winner is source for a WP:COMMONNAME that gets 61 Google hits (as of 6/12/16). Apparently there's a tweet from the TV show confirming the winner, but I'm having trouble finding it.

Atolla jellyfish; likely anything in the genus Atolla, not a common name specifically for A. wyvilllei

Chamois]; [[Rupricapra split into two species, chamois article needs refactoring

Drongo; if family isn't monotypic, scientific name should be used (with "drongo" rescoped to cover Dicrurus)

See Category:Lampetra; brook lamprey and river lamprey both ambiguous for European and North American species

Shore plover recently unilaterally moved away from IOC name Western pygmy possum recently moved (via RM) away from MSW name

Lagopus not at Ptarmigan; bird common name policy falls apart above species level

Sri Lanka tree crab; no source for vernacular name, 4 google hits as of 6/5/2016

Golden cat SIA converted to DAB with images stripped out (I had nothing to do with image gallery). Does MOS:DAB support images at common names? Not in this edit.

Rose fish; golden redfish is FAO, not clear where current title come from (only in Fishbase as rosefish)

Gravenche; recently extinct European fish. RM to scientific name resulted inmove to another common name. How common is it?

Talk:Mbu_pufferfish; Wikipedians agreeing to make up a new common name

Talk:New Zealand rock wren some scuffle over common names with out invoking IOC for any of them

Wicker ancylid; recognizable?

Gazella erlangeri/Arabian gazelle; synonymy, extinction issues

Chathams galaxias/Chatham mudfish merging common names that seem to stem from whether it's a Galaxias.

Pike eel; commonality of this term seems to be from video games. Common pike conger is FAO name.

Purple tang/Yellowtail tang; should people commonly be aware that these different color descriptors are the same species?

Antilles monkey; extinct tribe (genera at "common" name as well)

Stewart shag. I fixed, but birds wanted to drop this into redirect hell (with navbox links). Fucking ridiculous. If we're going with IOC common name scheme, that needs maintenance. IOC vernacular names don't have stable correspondance to scientific names.

Rough oxeye and smooth oxeye are (citably) the same plant. The official common names provided to lay readers are unintuitively precise.

Crimson pitcherplant, Purple Trumpet-leaf (both cited) and White pitcher plant (not cited) are the same plant. Can common names disambiguate by color? Not here.

western yellowbelly racer; initial page title, now moved. No attempt made to check commoness of name ("western yellow-bellied racer" is more common)

Black-ray goby; made up for Wikipedia? Variations on this form exist (e.g. black-rayed shrimp goby) as do other common names. Where did our title come from?

Moves here an IOC update of common names. Loon and scal(e/y) throat are IOC reversals.

Entelodont FFS. Call em hell pigs or terminator pigs. No reason for anglicizing the scientific name.

Diplodocid, Protoceratopsid; common names for dinosaur families?

Dibatag; more recognizable than "Clarke's gazelle"?

Comment at Talk:Waigeo seaperch; let's do OR to create a third spelling beyond the two listed in Fishbase

As of 12/7/15, searching for "Tagetes minuta" or "huacatay" (along with "wakataya", one of two longstanding redirects) gives a knowledge graph with "Southern Cone Marigold" as the title. Where is Google pulling that from? It was the first listed common name, but it's not very common. Added more redirects, let's see what happens. Well now, for "African marigold" Google serves up a knowledge graph titled "Tagetes patula" with content pulled from Wikipedia's T. erecta. No redirect for the synonymous T. patula and both capitalization of African marigold pointed to T. erecta already. Serious glitch from Google.

Adelaide pygmy blue-tongue skink, not IUCN spelling, not sure this exact title is most common

Oenpelli python, not Reptile Database name, might be most common

Long-tail tentacle goby; 7 hits on Google as of 2/24/2016. Made up for Wikipedia?

Lytta vesicatoria (Spanish fly) Absolutely not.

Seychelles treefrog (IUCN name) has two different species incoming, Sooglossus sechellensis (Sechelles frog per ASW) and Tachycnemis seychellensis (Seychelles island frog, Seychelles tree frog per ASW).

Honey bee is a genus (cf. turkey, pig). People probably want the domesticate, but there doesn't seem to be an article for it (and it's probably shouldn't be treated as a taxon). At least the genus article has relevant info.

Long-tentacled anemone is not long tentacle anemone (the latter a popular aquarium species). Is the minor diff really working here?

blue crayfish; what's in the aquarium trade? is it this species? who knows?

howler monkey; cites MSW for common name, but no common name given. All the species drop "monkey" (e.g. brown howler), which is the part that makes the common name recognizable.

Tasmanian ruffe; ranges from South Africa to halfway across the Pacific. Association with Tasmania is tasmanica epithet.

Gig76 move fails: Kurdistan spotted newt, apparently invented for Wikipedia

Gig76 move fails: Atif's Lycian salamander, Karpathos Lycian salamander invented on Wikipedia (no "Lycian" in attested versions)

Gig76 move fails: Fazil Lycian salamander invented on Wikipedia

Gig76 move fails: Sonan's salamander may have been invented on Wikipedia

Gig76 move fails: Praslin's caecilian; made up for Wikipedia? Didn't exist in article prior to move, and Cooper's Black Caecilian is sourceable.

Gig76 move fails: Kato's salamander not in any reliable sources, seems to have originated on Wikipedia with Mishae. Gigemag move all the Hynobius species, how many of the common names are bogus? (also, see clouded salamander for disambiguation with H. nebulosus)

Gig76 move fails: Helmeted water toad ("Chilean toad" and "wide mouth toad" more common)

Gig76 move fails: Spiny-knee leaf frog only species moved in genus of 5 spp., where it is also the only extinct species known only from collections 70 years before "common" name was coined

Gig76 move fails: Hokkaidō frog; the article on the island is at Hokkaido

Gig76 moved Apristurus fedorovi (2790 Ghits) to the misspelled translation of the scientific name presented on Wikipedia, Federov's catshark (2850 Ghits), Planonasus cut and paste move to properly spelled translation, Fedorov's catshark (90 Ghits), Fishbase doesn't list an English common name, and IUCN calls it "stout catshark" (546 Ghits). Doesn't seem to be any evidence for "Fed(o/e)rov's catshark" originally outside of Wikipedia. Completely fucked now, and 2850 Ghits for the misspelling only reinforces why Wikipedia has no business pushing common names for poorly known species (less than 30 specimens for this one).

Gig76 moved to deceptive chameleon, and added the vernacular to the article. Not clear where this name comes from or if it existed before Wikipedia (EOL mentions it now, but may have scraped that from Wikipedia).

Gig76 moved to Rusty forest tree frog; no evidence for this spacing (vs. "treefrog"), multiple vernacular names at ASW

Gig76 moved to Masked rough-sided frog; no vernaculars at IUCN. ASW lists several, including Mr-sf, but cites a 1992 source for that vernacular. Hylarana laterimaculata re-recognized as species in 2003, and Mr-sf is associated with that species. Not Gig's fault, but not a good choice of common name.

Gig76 moved to Speckled moray eel, also a common name for Gymnothorax obesus

Pvmoutside moves of 20 Sep 2015. Inventing a whole bunch of new common names for Wikipedia for consistency's sake. See Melomys howi, Melomys cervinipes, Melomys cooperae, Melomys caurinus And another batch on 6 December 2015. Is MSW the standard for mammal names, or what? Moves are arguably more recognizable, and appear to be more common than previous titles (though not beating scientific names in Ghits). Also see batch from early 2015 Time to enlist mammals in going with what rodents decided (scientific name)? Some fish in April 2017 (chunk 2 of 2, so see newer revision also)


 * User:Terriffic Dunker Guy; blocked, made some bad moves (two-banded seabream is not common two-banded seabream?) User:GrahamBould also blocked, involved with fish moves; User:Ykvach; RN1970 (redirect creations), User:Gdrbot (redirect creations), User:Eugene van der Pijll (redirect creation) (ending 30 August 2007), User:Wilhelmina_Will (check move log)

Rose sea star SIA now, but was changed to discuss two different species over its history

Tuft-tailed spiny tree rat SIA for apparently MSW names differing in minor detail

Delicate salt flat mouse; not MSW name

Moth fly; common name for some pest species. Entire family? Umm..

Blotched snake eel is not the same as blotched snake-eel (but Blotched Snake-Eel and a whole mess of variant caps/hyphens go to the unhyphenated species. Is this helpful (note that b s-e was created from a redirect to b s e)? Fishbase does have the hyphen different, but really?

Bermuda hawk moved 2/14/15. 872 reported Ghits for "Burmuteo avivorus", 368 for "Bermuda hawk" on 2/14/15. Actual hits (no repeats, go to last page of results) 156 for "Bermuteo avivorus", 106 for "Bermuda hawk"

Spiny tree frog; two species per hatnote

Milton's titi; Milton's titi monkey in original description (and firetail titi monkey before specific epithet was assigned); Wikipedia article on other Callicebus are just titi, so was moved for consistency with Wikipedia (but not sourced to anything).

Spider-tailed horned viper. Where did this name come from? Not in IUCN, Reptile Database, or the 2006 paper describing the species. Wikipedia neologism?

Manchurian Black Water Snake; no source for this common name

Lesser sand eel, Raitt's sand eel; apparently Wikipedia inventions. Fishbase has "sandeel"/"sand-eel" (presumably because it's not really an eel). "Lesser sandeel" used for both these species, but FAO uses that name for the one we have at Raitt's.

New Zealand flathead; invented? just "flathead" on Fishbase, NZ Flathead seems to be Wikipedia mirrors

Zebra oto; "Zebra otocinclus" almost as common and doesn't have 10 years of Wikipedia's influence. Scientific name more popular still. Another titling decision from GrahamBould in 2006 (along with New Zealand flathead; editors titles may be fairly arbitrary).

escuericito recently moved, but how did this end up at a Spanish common name in the first place?

Picturesque dragonet; far more common as "psychedelic mandarin"; how was the current title chosen (Fishbase list the title as Micronesian English)

Spined dwarf mantis; only known from type specimen

Common barbel; recently moved from scientific name; common name is just "barbel" (but ambiguous); scientific name far more common than "common barbel". Fishbase doesn't record anything besides barbel.

Spotted mandarin; plant/animal dab

Traill's flycatcher good bird dab for obsolete common name

Nsenene move to Ruspolia baileyi (redirect intentionally not created at preasent)? Or split out a species article? Split best perhaps; sources that give a scientific name to the food use Ruspolia nitidula, perhaps incorrectly.

Hebrew Character only one Google hit for the moth (when searching without quotes) in the first 50 results (@22). should be a dab page, perhaps. And there are tons of moths with unnatural dab titles because the official common name is something crazy in the form "Article Noun" (e.g., The Brick, The Shark). Do a search for parenthetically dabbed leps.

Chinese Pheasant nice DAB/SIA (with photos!) for two species. Probably wouldn't survive MOSDAB in such an informative state. Clown wrasse has pictures too.

Carpenter ant/[[Camponotus]-article focuses on "carpenter" lifestyle. Not an article on the genus

AEECL's sportive lemur; see talk page comment, apparently no source for this name. A special translation of scientific name for Wikipedia? Two other "common" names listed for a Madagascar species described in 2006. Is there really a reason why this should have an English common name?

Sichuan bush warbler was started at Locustella changi and moved to common name per BIRDS. L. changii was split from Locustella mandelli (russet bush warbler). Presumably RBW should be DABish, but it looks like things are getting ahead of IOC here. See also Benguest bush warbler/Bradypterus seebohmi. And yes, that's a different genus and apparently there's now a Locustellidae even though the text of RBW calls it B. mandelli

Michoacan deer mouse two species with this name on IUCN redlist

Jackal non-taxon mammal article with taxobox

Common Rose redirect, turn to dab with plants mentioned?

Deathstalker scorpion. Multiple common names, article mentions that it is usually referred by the scientific name and that "deathstalker" also applies to other members of the genus. Very high number of page views for a scorpion article, but title happens to be shared with a film franchise and a comics character.

Pudu dab page; genus Pudu is at a common (English?) name with an accent (and covers two species that don't have their own articles)

Eastern spadefoot toad vs Eastern Spadefoot. This needs to get moved bad.

Blue or rippled triggerfish. OMG. Who thought that was a good idea?

Darter (disambiguation). Any reason why the birds should be the primary darter? Banded darter dab page

Scrub oak SIA needs some work

Armadillo; no biggy, but any incoming links from US topics can be dabbed to one species

Texas cichlid; Rio Grande cichlid per AFS/FAO

Cardinal (bird); incoming links crap, bad DAB page. Cardinal is Cardinalis cardinalis

Why isn't metaltail a redirect to Metallura? IOU doesn't regulate genus names? All Metallura are metaltails and vice versa.

Ceylon tiger; moved from Ceylon tiger (butterfly), entirely within the rules, but is recognizability well served?

Süsswassertang common name for undescribed species

Horse-fly where does that hyphen come from?

I created a link for Australian blue-tongued skink, as it was the only link to the species in the genus article, but it's not clear where it comes from (not in IUCN, Reptile Database or Australia Reptile Online Database)

Red imported fire ant; does anybody actually call it this? At least it's not native to any English speaking countries, so "imported" is reasonably accurate. It turns out ESA is now in the game of approving common names. Fire ant notes that not all Solenopsis are fire ants and not all fire ants are Solenopsis but uses the common name anyway.

Bonito vs Bonito (disambiguation); check incoming links to Bonito for Japanese topics (should redirect to Skipjack tuna)

Calabar python; RM failed. Multiple vernacular names, Calabar python isn't the most common (and it may not be a "python"). Retry RM

Devil fish vs. Devilfish

Caspian tubenose goby, Rize goby, Marine tubenose goby; Olaff moved to scientific name noting "no reference given for English name". Did Wikipedia make these up?

Doi Inthanon rock frog; unilaterally moved to common name after RM closed as no-consensus

Catcott, Edington and Chilton Moors; links prior to my edit. Otter, lapwing, snipe might be precise enough in the UK, but if scientific names are listed, you'll find the right article by using them. Marsh thistle is ambiguous in the UK vs. US.

Grayling (species)/Grayling (genus); and Grayling; stupid way to disambiguate assuming fish is the only grayling. But there's a similar genus/species pair of butterfly graylings as well as two more fish and another butterfly. Arctic grayling is a fish and a butterfly.

Formica; surprised the ant genus has the base title. Ought to be a dab (incoming links are certainly a mess)

Common echymipera (and relatives); "common" is actually a decent choice here (it's the most widely distributed and mostly sympatric with all the other echymipera), but "echymipera"? Apparently used to be (MSW???) a spiny bandicoot, but I guess that doesn't correspond to a taxon.

Common opossum; fantastically stupid choice of name. Central/South American species Didelphis marsupialis and still not more commonly used than scientific name. The common opossum in areas where people actually speak English is Virginia opossum. Mammalogists are usage is unambiguous, but there are plenty of hits for the North American species with "common opossum"-marsupialis. Not to mention the whole possum/opossum thing; zoologists may have it straightened out, and it may not be confusing for Aussies, but those titles will continue to attract links for the North America animal. edit: Total clusterf***. North American one was Didelphis marsupialis virginianus fifty years ago. "Common" probably should've followed virginianus in the split. And I was thinking (before I looked into it again) that D. marsupialis was the scientific name of the North American species. To the extent that anybody is searching by scientific name, might be good to hatnote at marsupialis for the North American animal.

Common shrew; European species, but there is a North American "common shrew" as well

Small frog; good luck searching Google for this species by the common name (though Wikipedia does pop up pretty high)

Complaints about choice of common name at : Talk:Small-spotted catshark, Talk:Copper_shark

Argonaut (animal); with Argonauta as the natural dismabiguation; WTF. Unnecessary dabbing to avoid the scientific name

Hilsa/Hilsa (genus)/Ilisha/Ilisha (genus) godawful mess (not solvable with scientitific name, but vernacular doesn't make it easier)

Water vole (North America); MSW has as North American water vole

Waitomo frog, Markham's frog; extinct in New Zealand possible prior to Maori arrival

Ngandong tiger; common name for Pleistocene extinction

Smelt (disambiguation); Smelt (fish) is ambiguous

Botrypus/Sceptridium/Botrychium. Who the hell are we following in recognizing Sceptridium? FNA lumps them all into Botrychium. USDA Plants has one exception in Sceptridium (database error?). TPL is gummed up with bad treatments of Tropicos records with minimal citation (lack of citations, ipso facto, indicates that Sceptridium isn't well recognized). Botrypus is paraphyletic if Sceptridium is recognized (and the phylogenetic study cited at Botrypus virginianus is a)misquoted (cite in wikipedia article confuses strictus and virginanianus) and b)seems to be using Botrypus names for convenience, not recommending their use).

Skunk; synonymous with Mephitidae? Are Asian stink badgers skunks? Also see polecat.

Japanese raccoon dog; SMccandlish merged tanuki here, on the grounds that "ICZN common names are used". MSW doesn't seem to list a common name for this subspecies. Utter rubbish. Tanuki is the common name.

Product/species splits: Mango/Mangifera indica/Mangifera, Guava/Psidium guajava, Mangosteen/Purple mangosteen, Durian/Durio/Durio zibethinus, Soursop/Annona muricata, Kiwifruit/Actinidia, Rudraksha/Elaeocarpus ganitrus, Starfruit/Averrhoa carambola, Passion fruit (fruit)/Passion fruit, Mandarin orange (fruit)/Mandarin orange, Peach (fruit)/Peach, Apricot (fruit)/[[Apricot

Sorting redirect like Actinomeris squarrosa (syn. of Verbesina coreopsis, redirects to Verbesina

Sand goby; see FishBase; US/AFS means one species, UK/FAO is another. Plenty more besides, so why did the UK end up with the vernacular?

Spanish mackerel; was a dab, now covers a tribe of fishes. Ony a few species in one genus are "Spanish mackerels"; maybe better to scope to genus or redab?

Is squirrel=Sciuridae the best sense? What are tree squirrels? and what about Sqiurrel (disambiguation)

D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago pogonomys, only Pogonomys that isn't a tree mouse or prehensile tailed rat. Very poorly known scientifically and vernacular manages to be even less concise than the not exactly short Pogonomys fergussoniensis

Pongid; paraphyletic wrt humans "great apes". Pongidae beats on G-hits. Pongid is a scientific nickname, not a common name.

Micrurus; redirect to coral snake, species taxoboxes are piping to coral snake. Awful

Pigeon; redirects to Columbidae, should be dab? Feral pigeon is a much more likely primary topic than the entire family.


 * Vyrezub; AFS/FAO preferred "kutum" (etmylogically Russian) is ambiguous. "Black sea roach" is definitely English but scarcely used (and there's another roach in the Black Sea). Current title is, according to Fishbase, Czech. WP:COMMONNAME?


 * Viper moray; E. formosa not on fishbase. Fishbase has long fang moray for Enchelynassa canina, but no FAO/AFS common names. Viper moray is AFS/FAO for Enchelycore nigricans.


 * Vobla; Russian name; FAO has as Caspian roach, no other English names on Fishbase or IUCN.

Sparrow; are "true sparrows" Passer or Passeridae? What about all the incoming links from New World places (is it possible some of them mean house sparrow?)

Barn-owl vs. Barn Owl.

Sea eagle 5 of 8 species aren't known as sea eagles. Love the talk page comment "why is there a picture of a bald eagle"? Why indeed, anon IP?

Costero; apparently the International Whaling Comission regulates cetacean common names; article is not at the name proposed to IWVC (and there are other common names)

"Sundaic mountain leopoldamys (Leopoldamys ciliatus) is a species of rodent from the family Muridae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Edwards's long-tailed giant rat"

Bluestripe butterflyfish; who cares what the most commonly used orthography is ("bluestriped"); slap a common name on it, and it's good to go.

American silver perch; made up for Wikipedia? AFS has it as "silver perch", Fishbase doesn't list "American silver perch"

Caatinga Woodpecker "common name" derived from error in interpretating type locality; doesn't occur in caatinga. Good job ornithologists. Bare-eyed thrush, Dusky indigobird; ambiguous common names

Hipposideros rotalis RM to vernacular failed. Yay.

Black titi; monkey, but Cliftonia may have as good a claim to primary topic (more hits for plant on Google Books) California clapper rail move to Ridgway's rail; are common names really more stable than scientific?

Common tree frog, SE Asian species. Surely there are "common" tree frogs in Europe or North America.

Little Bronze-Cuckoo (Gould's sub-species). WTF is this??? WTH is Gould? Start an article on a taxa that is lumped by some authorities; go right ahead. Use COMMONNAME (and really?) to arrive at an insane title that helps nobody; was article creator trolling, or is this really a genuine attempt to conform with their understanding of COMMONNAME?

See reference at Snethlage's antpitta; birds are usually good about restricting vernacular to a species concept (and not a taxon per se), but spotted antpitta now has a s.s. and an s.l.

True toad; oh come on. Family Bufonidae is a scientific concept; toad is a folk taxon.

Trush (dab}/Thrush (bird)/True thrush. Hatnote at thrush (bird) to the dab page for other thrush birds. Jesus. Link Turdidae if that is what is meant. Dab repair links to Thrush (bird).

Red Snapper/Red snapper (fish) Oh dear. Dab link repair needed for the (fish) article (if it doesn't live in the Caribbean, it's not the link target). FDA interesting. (fish) link target is only acceptable as market name for that species. "Common Name: The common name is the English version of the name established and commonly used by ichthyologists and other fishery experts to describe a specific species". Oh, this is really bad. id:Kakap, Kakap merah claim L. campechanus is in Indonesia. vi:Cá hồng says the same for Vietnam and has the distribution map for the European thing at el:Λυθρίνι (and Greek article in interwiki linked from Indonesian). And see Japanese snapper's discussion of izumidai (which currently redirect to L. campechanus). There's a dab at pargo and huachinango redirects; Spanish terms needs their own dabbing.

Rose fish nobody has a space in rosefish like that, and FAO and AFS names are different (and many other common names besides)

Redline pufferfish, apparently made up for Wikipedia. Nobody reliable (Fishbase/IUCN/etc.) list this as a common name. Aquarium enthusiasts call it "Cross River puffer(fish)".

Turkey (bird) dab repair

Pygmy devil ray little mix up between AFS and FAO. AFS the usual sense on Google, but the other p.d.r. was at the vernacular title.

Saiga antelope; saiga redirects there and is the scientific name and a perfectly cromulent common name. Wikipedia made up "saiga antelope", nobody calls it that. MSW3 has 2 species, Wikipedia is following a completely different taxonomic (both extant lineages in a single sp, where MSW3 has a separate sp. for one extant lineage and a extinct one)

Silver perch Fishbase has two species with this as the "preferred common name". Dover sole is AFS/FAO approved for Microstomus pacificus NOT the European species (FDA lists common name per AFS, but acceptable market name is simply "sole" ("common sole" is a market name that dabs the european species). Dwarf barb another with two in Fishbase. Bad "translations": Marginate dascyllus. Bad redirect target (needs redlink written for dab to exist) Chrysiptera unimaculata, One-spot demoiselle. "translation" from Russian: Colchic Khramulya. IUCN has offices in the UK?-well then, "colorless shiner" is clearly what folks in the UK call it . Sharpnose worm eel/Scolecenchelys acutirostris; 7 google hits for "common name". Bonefish versus Bonefishes (& shortjaw bonefish isn't the FAO/most commonly used vernacular name). Flashlight fish; family parked at ambiguous common name. [this diff]; flashlight fish mislabelled (and tripod fish had problems elsewhere). How do "common names help the reader" when the common name links go to the wrong article? Lenok/Brachymystax lenok; is lenok a common name for the genus or the species? Recognizability: bombay duck, dragonet; does the lay person have any reason to suspect these are fishes (I'd guess dragonets as lizards or Pokemon)-common roach, yeah that's recognizable as a fish. Iridescent shark/Patagonian toothfish: umm, swai and Chilean sea bass; Iridescent shark is totally misleading, isn't used by FAO/AFS or even universally among aquarium enthusiasts (but see also basa fish for swai). Chinese high-fin banded shark isn't a shark. "Mosquitofish"; name for genus or one species (no good way to straighten this out though. Glass Catfish; many ambiguous meanings listed at article. Ilish; stupid back and forth moves about Hindi vs. Bengali common name. Golden Dorado; AFS/FAO call it "dorado"; not clear where nonambiguous name comes from. Request move for Dwarf catshark (ambiguous common name with one article already at scientific name)? Talk:Onefin catshark has somebody confuse by common name. Angelshark vs. Angel shark. Black cod:AFS/FAO use for the NZ species eclipsed by actual common use for North Pacific species, misleading to readers

English sole is native to eastern Pacific. Confusing.

Bombay duck bonus; AU seems to want to be able to sell Harpadon translucens under that name. Market names FTW.

Ouachita shiner is AFS/FAO, least commonly used. Than scientific name, than most commonly used is Ouchita mountain shiner via IUCN/USFWS. What would fish guidelines do here.

Vily; IUCN tried to hijack Malagasy common name for many common fishes and present it as an English name for an uncommon species.

Large-headed rice rat/Big-headed rice rat; ambiguity of each vernacular aside, large/big isn't a reasonable distinction in common English usage

Featherfin squeaker; great example of vernacular name failing WP:COMMONNAME (and is the vernacular recognizable? WTF is a squeaker?). Featherfin squeaker 3590 google results, Synodontis eupterus, 40,800, Synodontis euptera (misspelling) 8710, Featherfin catfish 15,100, Featherfin synodontis 3,110, and many more common names. Featherfin squeaker is AFS/FAO approved, but it's not the common name. Only Category:Synodontis at common name, though Upsidedown catfish might be a good common name (currently covers several species)

Flathead galaxias (New Zealand)/Flathead galaxias (Australia). Fishbase doesn't even have a common name for NZ species, not sure where this came from. Multiple common names for the Australian one, none FAO approved, but the Fishbase display name is Murray jollytail.

Karasu sha kuli, İznik shemaya (extinct), İskenderun shah kuli, Manyas shemaya, Georgian shemaya, Dislisazancik baligi. What is recognizable about "shah kuli"/"sha kuli" and "shemaya"? At least the scientific name is recognizable as a scientific name forr an organism. Shemaya sounds like an article of clothing. Per FishBase, Paskóviza is the English name used in the UK, and Beotian riffle dace is the English name used in Greece.

The most common referent of the term Paddlefish is Polyodon spathula, not Polyodontidae. Incoming links to paddlefish borked. Wiki titles for paddlefishes don't follow AFS/FAO, and American paddlefish is mostly popularized by Wiki. Shrimp/prawn another case where referent of the term as commonly used had nothing to do with how Wiki's linking it to taxa.

Flavescent Peacock, Nkhomo-benga Peacock European peacock; not peacocks Esther Grant's zebra, not a zebra

Black buffalo; not a buffalo

American cheetah-WP's been pushing this name forever, and Miracinonyx still beats it in google hits. First page of Google hits for either term includes paleo papers calling it a "false cheetah" or "cheetah-like cat". Is "American cheetah" properly [[Miracinonyx trumani]? Maybe.

Mesoplodont whale; crappy "translation" of Mesoplodon; "beaked whale" is element of common name for all but one species (and beaked whale article is something entirely different). Talk:Goat-antelope vs. Talk:Stag-moose (though s-m wasn't about common name per se). Talk:Sunda flying lemur

Gray dorcopsis, because everybody knows what a dorcopsis is. And that's totally what people in PNG call it when they see this not very common species (English is an official language there, and this is the English name, right?). And a dorcopsis is any animal that was included in dorcopsis (genus) when the "common name" was pulled out of some mammalogists ass. What a fucking mess.

Lycaon pictus; a rare case of a mammal move to scientific name

Little Mariana fruit bat/Guam flying fox: forked content on same species, lasted as separate articles for 8 years. Large-footed bat, not to be confused with Myotis macropus; gee, how could that be confusing (IUCN has Large-footed myotis for M. adversus, but Wikipedia says that's a common name for M. macropus; yep, no confusion here). Northern long-eared bat: common name for two species, but at least one of them isn't a myotis this time around, so Northern long-eared myotis works as a common name (and myotis is totally recognizable to the lay person). Long-legged bat; yet another one disambiguated with a myotis.

Links to Lepidoptera discussions (and some butterfly common name articles) at Talk:Apatura metis

Emperor (dragonfly); I guess you can get around capitalization with parentheses.

Mexican burrowing tree frog: genus Smilisca; some are Mexican tree frogs, some are burrowing tree frogs, and a plurality are cross-banded tree frogs

Siamese algae eater/Siamese flying fox; first page of Google results is basically all about how to figure out which fish is marketed under these names

Single specimen species: Combtooth lanternshark, Irrawaddy river shark, Sailback houndshark, White-clasper catshark, Sharpfin houndshark (2 specimens), Velvet catshark, White-tip catshark, Elongate carpet shark, Bighead catshark (3 specimens), Whitetip weasel shark, South China catshark, Snaggle-toothed_snake-eel, Kai stingaree (2 specimens), Spined dwarf mantis, pocket shark (2 specimens). Large-headed whiting. Togo mouse. Anonidium usambarense. Kinyongia asheorum (4 specimens). Xenochrophis bellulus (3 specimens). Andropogon scabriglumis. Chthonerpeton exile. Herpele multiplicata. Viola wikipedia. Ichthyophis humphreyi. Upper Laos caecilian. Caecilia inca. Gasteracantha gambeyi. Plecotus ariel. Rough whiting. Solanum tepuiense. Ravenia swartziana. Tecomanthe speciosa. Paraliparis membranaceus. Alloperla acadiana. Cyanea heluensis (a single living individual). Oeceoclades seychellarum (extinct; had a photo that was almost certainly bogus and a COPYVIO). Helianthus praetermissus, extinct. Bahiaxenos (family recently described from a single specimen) Nemamyxine elongata (two specimens) Mecodema chaiup, Arapaima mapae, Spongehead catshark (two specimens and a photo), Callechelys galapagensis (4 specimens), Noblella thiuni, Tyrannophryne (2 specimens) Luteuthis shuishi, Heliotropium macrodon (as Parabouchetia brasiliensis)

(Single specimen; single tibia); Astrochelys rogerbouri, not a substub. Had a press release? Madagascar species with a predictable timing of (pre-1500) extinction

Mangalore houndshark-where the hell did this name come from. Described 3 years ago, 128 google hits for "common" name on 3 June for 11 May created article, 7700 for scientific name. Not in fishbase or anywhere else really (2013 book apparently transferred this to Iago and invented a common name).

Turkey (bird) and Pig. Godawful mess. Essentially none of the incoming links intend the article subjects (Meleagris and Sus). Nobody is looking for the genus when they search for the name of a common domesticated species (granted, they may be interested in the wild/feral forms of the species and not soley the domesticate). Another stunning triumph for COMMONNAME. Pig was about the species prior to 15 August 2005.

Mink; just DAB it

Emerald aphyosemion

Prosopis cineraria: good illustration of common name issue; well known plant, many common names in many languages. USDA plants recommends "jand" (which is Punjabi)

[], is this the most misleading piped link ever? Mock Orange (mulberry); now there's a helpful redirect title

On the flip side, Disa uniflora is rather defensive about the common name being the same as the scientific name

Category:Cardinals

New World blackbird existence prevents Icterid from getting something that actually a (not very commonly used) vernacular name.


 * Sardinian dhole or Sardinian fox? Not a dhole. Pleistocene extinction, where is our source for the common name?

Machaeridian; noun form from palaeontological taxon

Peruvian scorpionfish got 33 page views from 5/8/2016 to 8/5/2016. Scorpaena afuerae had 93, in spite of being a redirect during that period.

Grass skippers; plural OK?

Ocellated moray; G. saxicola is honeycomb moray now, Gymnothorax ocellatus is also called ocellated moray.


 * Xingan salamander not in MSW or IUCN. Invented for Wikipedia?

Hawaiian shortspine spurdog; invented for Wikipedia (split from shortspine spurdog, but describers call it Hawaiian spurdog)

Common Suriname toad Gigemag invention; sourceable name is Surinam toad

Spiny pocket mouse; Chaetodipus spinatus or Heteromys; who cares?

Cortez' hidden salamander Baja Verepaz' salamander; made up editor? check congeners

Hokkaidō frog; least common vernacular name with untypable character (Gigemag)

Metallic skink; should be a DAB?

VUB night frog; I don't see this taking off

Bumpy is a species of jellyfish?

Gastrotrich: a bunch of high level taxonomy articles at anglicized scientific name (see also various animal families at -id); not common names; most common name choices in {{tl|Animalia]] reasonable. Mollusca should be probably be at some spelling of common name if common name is the default. Gnathostomulid, Lophophore, Phoronid, (check giant tube worm/Pogonophora), Aschelminth, dubious at "common" name.

Trachypora coral; needs a species


 * Daggett's eagle back at "common" name as of 9/5/2016; what happens to page views?

Dendrelaphis sinharajensis dangers of using vernacular names recommended in original description. "Sinharaja tree snake" recommended. Asian species of Dendrelaphis are "bronzebacks". Australian species are "treesnakes". Don't seem to be any other "tree snakes" in the genus. Should be "Sinharaja bronzeback" for consistency if we're coining new names here. But all Dendrelaphis are at scientific name anyway.

Marmorkrebs, German name for crayfish subspecies


 * Vespa (genus)/Hornet a mess


 * Linsang and Asiatic linsang; did Wikipedia invent Asiatic?


 * Peipsi whitefish; sourced, but not in Fishbase; Wikipedia pushing

Baltic sculpin; no source, invented by Wikipedia?


 * Tailed tailless bat


 * Three-horned rhinoceros beetle; was this a common name for Dynastes neptunus before Wikipedia came along? Cut and paste move to vernacular title


 * Not all Herpestidae are mongooses, but the family is covered in the common name article


 * Toucan-barbet, Toucan barbet, Toucan Barbet, Toucan-barbets; different targets


 * Stilt; lumps two genera


 * Lyretail damselfish; Wikipedia invention? 235 Google results. Demoiselle is the common element in the vernacular names of the species


 * Tropical bottlenose whale; 12 beachings, 65 sightings, which is quite well known for a Ziphiid whale. Is there really a common name?


 * Inotted lizardfish; this has to be a typo in the FAO name, no?


 * Large-tooth sawfish and largetooth sawfish; different species


 * Common butterfly moth; a bit of a surprise


 * Eelpout; ambiguous and Lota lota probably has a stronger primary topic claim.

Sandgroper (insect); not the primary topic, might as well move to scientific name


 * Volcano mouse; ambiguous with Mexican volcano mouse, which appears to be better known


 * Goniatids, informally Goniatites, are ammonoid cephalopods that form the Order Goniatiida


 * Doichang frog; rare Asian species with limited distribution


 * Mozambique forest tree frog; made up for Wikipedia (as was previous title); ASW has "Brown-backed Tree Frog", "Mozambique Tree Frog", "Mossambique Forest Treefrog"


 * Mexican dace; see history, was a dab page. IUCN uses name for multiple species


 * Category:Odobenids


 * Brant (goose); move to what's apparently not the IOC name (brant goose)


 * On other note; Hollywood; should be dab page with metonym for motion picture industry


 * Melodius coqui; spelling

 * Kuhl's maskray; recent move, only 3 Google hits as of 1/20/17, all from Wikipedia. Name completely made up for Wikipedia


 * Banjo ray; use for Trygonorrhinidae unattested outside of Wikipedia. Is a common name for Trygonorrhina dumerilii


 * Selenomonad Anglicized scientific name


 * Small heath (butterfly); no point to parenthetically dabbed common name


 * Monito del monte is that really English? (it is the MSW name)

Grey parrot/African grey parrot; what is the common name for this linguistically notable species? As of 5 August 2017, recently move to eliminate African, but Alex (parrot) is still "African grey".


 * Superagüi lion tamarin recently moved to add diacritic to MSW name (with comment from mover on using IUCN name)

 * Cameroon logsucker; no source for this name


 * Rainbow shark, Red-tailed black shark; not sharks


 * MSW name Bushbuck (=Tragelaphus scriptus senus MSW with equatorial and south African range) redirects to Imbabala, which is a confused mess with Tragelaphus sylvaticus in the taxobox. The northern species (T. scriptus'') is at Kéwel with harnessed bushbuck as the redirect linked from Imbabala.

 * Campo-Ma’an fruit bat; known from three individuals

 * ''Pale giant squirrel; MSW name a redirect to a different vernacular name


 * Mammuthus africanavus/African mammoth; evidence for vernacular name as COMMONNAME?

 * List of Late Quaternary prehistoric bird species; aka list of bird species that have no useful vernacular name

 * Deep-water ateleopid fish; yeah, it's listed as a common name at Fishbase, but it's really a description that applies to the whole family


 * Coosa elktoe extinct, known from a single specimen


 * Carolina elktoe; extinct, single specimen


 * Yawning (fish); described in 1975, also "Listless melamphid fish" at Fishbase. I bet page views will go up with move to scientific name title.

 * Notothenia angustata/Maori chief page views should be interesting (move and dabbed on 8 May 2019)

 * Caracara (subfamily)


 * Heikegani; Japanese name; seems to be most commonly used, but is it recognizable?


 * Blackbelly triplefin refers to be E. fuscovenator and E. hemimelas


 * Yellownape tripplefin; pretty sure this shows how little of a shit IUCN/Fishbase give about common names. Nobody spells it "tripple"

 * Karin Hills frog; genus article, name refers to one species, article was briefly at Karin Hills Frogs
 * Muhlenbergia orophila had an invented vernacular name, "gold-loving muhly"; oro- should be mountain


 * Butterworm; use vernacular name for larval form or adult form?


 * Railroad worm; another larval vernacular name


 * Thingodonta "colloquial" name for extinct marsupial order


 * Peach blossom; not what you think


 * Honey badger (the MSW name), was at ratel from 9 November, 2003 until March 22, 2008. The viral video was in 2011. I'd bet it would've been moved in 2005 if it was at the scientific name. Bad common name stuck around for way to long just because it wasn't the scientific name.

 * Maui ‘alauahio; "There are two subspecies: the Lānaʻi ʻalauahio, P. montana montana, which occurred on Lānaʻi (extinct); and P. montana newtoni which occurs on Maui. The common name refers to both groups." No it doesn't. All the source are about the extant one, not the one that went extinct in 1937. Maui Nui ʻalauahio covers the entire species.

 * Bald-faced hornet is not a hornet (Vespa)


 * Gnathostomulids are jaw worms. Gnathostomulid is not a common name

 * Paradise fish; extensive hatnote


 * Turret sponge/turret (anatomy)@turret (disambiguation)/encrusting turret sponge. Is turret sponge (and anatomy) a term for all Haliclona (subgenus/genus/higher?)?


 * Giant malleefowl; extinct genus


 * Lini's megapode really should have {{tl|R from Wikipedia neologism}}

Bird Names for Birds notes that NASA (IAU?) has decided to deprecate Eskimo Nebula in favor of NGC 2392. Bold move overturned in RM at Talk:Eskimo Nebula

 * Mosquitofish; hatnote for other species

 * Machaeridia vs. Machaeridian; highly unusual title; Machaerid would be more consistent


 * Phylloxera is a good example of an article that deserves different quality ratings in the context of different projects; impact on wine is quite developed, but lacking basic biology content

Talk:Grogu; common name was never used

 * Hump-winged grig; how many people know what a grig is? hump-winged describes the family


 * Ice worm; only a couple of species in the genus live in ice


 * Red rot needs a dab page


 * Lugworm discusses multiple species; should be a redirect to the genus, not something with a speciesbox


 * Common crow, redirect, but...


 * Cardinal beetle states it is a name for three species (the article is NOT about the "common cardinal beetle")

 * Takikawa sea cow, Cuesta sea cow prehistoric


 * Polymixiidae/beardfish; family with one extant genus; genus should have the vernacular title


 * Pinjalo (fish) is in Pinjalo (genus)


 * Gould's mouse; "If taxonomic authorities follow through with the change, the name P. gouldii will be retained as it was described first, but the species' common name will be changed to djoongari or Shark Bay mouse." That's really not how that works, but it is supported by the source (NHM!!)


 * Black seasnail; guess what it is


 * Moorhen flea; parasitizes several species, native to South America. Moorhen is Eurasian; is it really the defining host?


 * Katrana; Malagasy name, not English


 * Mooneye; hijacking the name of a species for a (monogeneric) family. Turkey/pig/cardinal logic from 2008 Wikipedia


 * Nurseryfish; again hijacking species for family


 * Saddleback caterpillar; any others with names for non-adult forms?


 * Careproctus merretti, 791 Google results as of 9.9.21. "Merret's snailfish", 209 results, "snakehead snailfish", 27 results. Vernacular names on Fishbase attributed to English spoken in Russia. Abyssal fish species (not sure if any similar species level articles have vernacular title).


 * Archipiélago de Sabana hutia; Spanish


 * Pollenia, many vernacular names


 * King rat (animal); King Uromys in MSW


 * List of African daisy diseases; African daisy is a SIA

White tern/Common white tern; no longer the only species in the white tern genus


 * Dyeing poison dart frog moved from Dyeing dart frog, neither listed at ASW; many vernacular names, Dyeing poison frog probably most common but still less common than scientific name


 * Lactic acid bacteria covers genera that aren't in Lactobacillales (went through RM)


 * Coffee borer beetle title since 2007; but coffee berry borer far more common (I moved to scientific name which out performs "borer beetle" but not "berry borer"); absolutely no effort is really ever made to determine which of multiple vernacular names is the supposed COMMONNAME


 * Ordinary eel; known from single specimen, poor vernacular name


 * Palaeoloxodon claims all members are Straight-tusked elephants


 * Fallow deer; most incoming links could be refined to species


 * Mesonychid; mesonychian would be more precise


 * [[Levuana moth]; monotypic genus Levuana


 * Muilla lordsburgana, the Lordsburg noino (so named in original description, apparently coining "noino"). clever? yes. can it be explained to a layperson without invoking scientific names? no. and why not "cilrag"?


 * Sunflower/common sunflower; congratulations, Wikipedians have managed to introduce a fuck up of titles for a common species and it's genus (after recently unfucking long-standing fuckups with pig and chimpanzee) (but links to sunflower should be checked for intended Helianthus). And now I'm suspicious of wheat] (wheat flour is a common food ingredient)


 * Lettuce wirelettuce; pretty sure nobody has ever uttered this out loud.


 * Dinagat hairy-tailed rat; no sources using this name, not clear where it came from (iNaturalist does use it though)


 * Brockman's rock mouse; no sources use this name


 * Scarce fritillary; doesn't occur in English speaking countries


 * Gekkota; unilaterally redirected several years after a merge discussion didn't support merging


 * Pine marten; redirects to European species, which most incoming links intend, but attracting links for North American species as well


 * Melampittidae/Melampitta/Melampitta (genus); is "Melampitta" the best title for the family?


 * Jackson lake springsnail; Lake should be capitalized, and P. robusta now includes two more species not found in Jackson Lake


 * Corded purg; IUCN/Polbot misspelling of "pyrg"


 * Fossil springsnail; named for a Fossil Creek, but potentially confusing

Kahuzi swamp shrew; two different species, appears to be a mix up at IUCN

wader/shorebird/wader (American)


 * Lesser iron-gray dwarf lemur; where did this name come from? IUCN has it as "grey", MSW has "small" instead of "lesser" (ITIS does have lesser/gray). Why is large iron-gray dwarf lemur the same species?


 * Tetragnathidae/Long-jawed orb weaver; for fuck's sake. If RECOGNIZABILITY is a factor, "spider" should be in the title


 * Vari's angelshark; described in 2018, moved by Uther


 * Amia (fish) now has two extant species; move to bowfin?


 * Recent move to cold sore, which is a symptom of the condition Herpes labialis (or oral herpes); herpes sore would be ambiguous


 * Muddy arrowtooth eel much less commonly used than scientific name


 * Epauletted parakeets plural


 * Laughingthrushes plural

"Confusingly, only 68 of the 138 include "sparrow" in their name."


 * Queen (butterfly) vs Queen butterfly


 * Cuja bola; just inverting the order of an older scientific name


 * ground squirrel; Xerini also spend a lot of time on the ground


 * Parafilaria bovicola goes to an unnecessarily disambiguated disease


 * Jamaican tangelo; interesting, apparently the PLU name, but probably better known by the trademark Ugli

ʻEua rail is that a diacritic to use for a subfossil species? (no common name given in 2005 description, name invented on Wikipedia in 2012?)


 * White-spotted wedgefish ambiguous


 * Northern goshawk; incoming links a mess after split of Eurasian/American species


 * Sea snake/Hyrophiinae


 * Floodplain mussel; multiple vernacular names not commonly used


 * Mirror turtle ant; described in 2014, does the vernacular name have any traction?

"Flame hogfish"; 8 google results as of 14 Oct 2023. Name in original description is Tahitian striped hogfish (with 3 results)


 * Bandwing Band-winged grasshopper is more recognizable and is pretty highly linked in article bodies


 * Mount Coke false shieldback not seen since its discovery in 1965


 * California carpenter bee; translation of californica, there are other Xylocopa species in California


 * Pine sawfly, ambiguous, see e.g. Gilpinia pallida


 * Larch sawfly, Sirex woodwasp; maybe unambiguous where they are invasive, but ambiguous globally; any Sirex is a sirex woodwasp, and larch sawfly has a congener named laricina


 * Beewolf; has a bunch of other common names. Is this the most common?


 * Siren sphagnicola/seepage siren; newly described species


 * Wader (American)/wading bird vs wader


 * Bromelworts a failed attempt? (mostly known from Muir?) to create an Anglo Saxon vernacular name for a family that has no business with an Anglo Saxon name.


 * Shao's moray (moved), possibly invented on Wikipedia. "Shao's moray eel" in original description. iNat has picked up the version without eel.


 * Volutine stoneyian tabanid fly; based on misspelling of velutina


 * Koster's tryonia; guess what the scientific name is?


 * Coahuilix de hubbs snail; miscapitalized, weird construction (should be de Hubbs coahuilix snail?)


 * Akishima whale; Pleistocene, vernacular name isn't well known, currently movable to binomial


 * Paludiscala de oro snail; stupid name (genus is Paludiscala)

SIA/DAB

Legume automatic taxoboxes I'm not satisfied with

 * Amphimas/Meso-Papilionoideae; follows Cardoso 2013, but anything more recent?
 * Aldina/Andira clade; placement of Aldina supported, but Andira clade is tiny
 * Hedysareae; iNat the only other place that includes the Chesneyean clade
 * Glycyrrhiza/Inverted repeat-lacking clade; Galegeae on iNat/NCBI/GRIN
 * Dermatophyllum/Meso-Papilionoideae; Cardoso 2013 says "might be a sister to the Genistoids s.l. clade", but isn't totally consistent. sister to "s.l." might be a mistake (s.l. can be defined to include)
 * Genistoids; that cladogram versus the one at Faboideae. I thought I'd worked through this to align with Cardoso 2013, but I hadn't remembered coming across so many species/genera sprinkled among the tribes (and Wikipedia doesn't seem to currently be fully consistent with the Genistoids cladogram)
 * Parochetus/Parochetinae; manual taxobox had subtribe. Template:Taxonomy/Parochetus created in 2017 without subtribe. It's monotypic and Trifolieae is really too small to merit any subtribes, but a redirect for the subtribe has existed since 2013. Genus is polytypic now.
