Your DYK nominations
Hello! You nominated a whole pile of DYKs on May 11. Five of them are still sitting there, more than a month later, waiting for action on your part. I really think this is an abuse of the process; if you aren't going to support your DYK nominations, you probably shouldn't make them in the first place. For the one I almost-approved, I am going to withdraw my almost-approval if you don't respond within another week or so. Sorry, but IMO it is really disrespectful toward other editors to ignore them like this. --MelanieN (talk) 16:56, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Orthoptera: source required for Permian claim
Hi, I see you've edited dates based on a "recent source" in various Orthoptera articles (Ensifera, grasshopper, Tettigoniidae, Mole cricket ... etc.), but you haven't added this source to the articles concerned: that's putting the cart before the horse. If you want the Permian date claim to stand, a sentence cited to the new source is required in each and every article. If you are in the habit of changing categories and dates without sources, please note that it would be best to change that habit now. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:33, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Recent recategorizations
Are you aware that you're introducing errors into quite a few articles in the form of recategorizing prehistoric animals as going extinct in a time period contrary to what the article says? Like, the Amynodontidae Aturia and Hemicyonidae as going extinct in the Pliocene even though their respective articles state they perished during the Miocene?--Mr Fink (talk) 17:22, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

A note on ambiguous surnames
Hey Abyssal. I've noticed some common mistakes on a couple Timeline of X research articles, and I'm not sure if they were introduced by you or another editor, but just wanted to bring them up since you see to be a major contributor. Many persons are simply referred to by last name, and simply linked to that name (e.g. Lambe and Brown in Timeline of ankylosaur research). Ideally, the full name of a person should be mentioned at least once, and linking solely to surnames, ambiguous or not, should be avoided: even though for instance Lydekker currently redirects to Richard Lydekker, it's best to link directly to Richard Lydekker to avoid future confusion should Lydekker be converted into a dab, article, etc. All the best, --Animalparty!

Broken cites in 1912 in paleontology?
Hi, Abyssal - just FYI that 1912 in paleontology has some broken cites (you added them in these revisions). I tried to find similar cites in the years before/after but had no luck - hopefully you can fix. Thanks! —Luis (talk) 15:24, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
