Can you please stop introducing phrasings and sentences that change the content of articles without giving any details why those changes should be made? Thank you. Samsara 09:49, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

I am very sorry for any inconvenience. I will try to make relevant and correct changes to articles from next time. I will also remember to add details. Achat1234 (talk) 10:03, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Monodelphis saci
Hi Achat1234,

I will improve Monodelphis saci and tell you what I did. You can follow my action in the "View history" tab & understand what I did and why. In addition, after my edit, I will be giving you detailed notes below every time I do so.


 * The article talk page was a red link. This implies that nobody had created it yet. So I created it (Check out this link). But with what? An important function of a talk page is to hold the WikiProject template. There are a large number of WikiProjects which look after the articles within their scope. Since M. saci is a mammal, the correct WikiProject is WikiProject Mammals. So I added the template of that WikiProject to the talk page. The wikitext which I added is given below :-

Do visit WikiProject Mammals and look around. Since you created a mammal article and have editted various mammal articles, you can add your name to this WikiProject at this place.

You will notice an entry "Monotremes=yes". Since M. saci is a marsupial this means that the article also falls under the jurisdiction of a daughter WikiProject called WikiProject Monotremes and Marsupials. Hence the entry adds that attribute to the template. Since M. saci is an unimportant article, from the view of importance to the WikiProject, the value"importance=low" also has been added. Even amongst the marsupials, it is a relatively unimportant, so "MonotremeImp=low".

Finally the article is a stub, so the class of the article is "class=stub". Technically it will qualify as a "start class" article. But let it remain a stub for awhile. Once we improve it properly, then we will remove the stub status.

If you want to know what differentiates a "stub" from a "start", see this link.

That's all for now, best wishes AshLin (talk) 09:57, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

This is how I did it...
 * Hi, today I made an edit here. In this edit, I added mention of a common name in the opening sentence which is being used for this species i.e. "gnome opossum". But such a fact needs to be supported by a citation. The citation I used is the NatGeo news article by Carrie Arnold. However this has already appeared in the article, so do I copy it fully verbatim and paste it in the new place or is there a way to reuse it? Fortunately, Wikipedia references provide a way to use a reference more than once.

Here is the reference wikitext as you provided it.

Now what I did was amended the beginning slightly to add the phrase name="NatGeoFeb2017" in the beginning.

So now the reference is amended to...

Then I moved the reference to the first place it needs to be in the article.

At the places where the reference needs to be reused, all that needs to be done is place this code snippet instead of the full reference.

So at the place where you had used the reference initially, I replaced the shortened wikitext just like I mentioned above and saved it.

Now, when you look at the "References" section, the Carrie Arnold reference shows two blue hyperlinked alphabets, "a" and "b". These are both hyperlinked. If you press "a", you go to the first place the reference is used, and if you press "b", you go to the next place the reference is used.

So this is how you re-use a reference or citation. If you have any queries, let me know.

Editing suggestion
While thanking you for your many constructive contributions, I would also like to suggest you refrain from aggressively editing things you don't fully understand. This pertains to the above-referenced article and what I observed earlier with American Lion. Regards, WolfmanSF (talk) 06:17, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * In concurrence with WolfmanSF, it is the same with Dog - please don't give your own interpretation of what you think several studies should have said, rather than what they did say. William Harris •   (talk) •  09:14, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

November 2017
Hello, I'm William Harris. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dog, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Any changes you make need to WP:CITE expert WP:RELIABLE sources which other editors can WP:VERIFY. Make these the three rules which you live by on Wikipedia and nobody can dispute your edits. William Harris •  (talk) •  20:30, 25 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Regarding userboxes, you can make your selection from here: Userboxes/Gallery William Harris •   (talk) •  06:47, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the tips. I will follow them from now on. Achat1234 (talk) 07:00, 26 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Excellent! Marc Bekoff is a well-respected reference. A quick word of advice - don't go anywhere near the wolf-like canid pages just yet - apart from the dog, which is fairly harmless - until you have a bit more experience applying these. The Wikipedia wolf-pack bites - I still have the scars from my first visits there! :-) William Harris •   (talk) •  07:26, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Better safe than sorry. Can I add the said references to the article on the origin of domestic dogs? Achat1234 (talk) 07:45, 26 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes you may. I will not bite, but I may restructure. William Harris •   (talk) •  08:30, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

No problem. I added the references but did not restructure anything. Achat1234 (talk) 08:34, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Halszkaraptor
Hi, regarding this edit I made. I'd like to check to see if you understand my edit summary: "'new ref article states 'Spinosaurus and its kin', i.e. 'more-than-one'; 'more-than-one' + Halszkaraptor = 'more-than-two'; see also List of semiaquatic tetrapods'" The sources you cited do state and/or link to articles stating that Spinosaurus was the first to be considered semiaquatic and also note that the more recently discovered Halszkaraptor is currently considered as such as well; however, neither of the sources state that those are currently the only ones now considered such. Please try to avoid coloring stuff with your own extrapolations when attempting to summarize sources. This is basically the same concern raised earlier above by User:William Harris, please don't give your own interpretation of what you think several studies should have said, rather than what they did say. Achat1999, going forward please work to be more careful in faithfully and accurately reflecting sources when you contribute article text.

Thanks for your time and attention, ––A Fellow Editor– 18:51, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I understand. I will be more careful. Thank you for explaining it in detail. Achat1999 (talk) 04:19, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Jurassic Park dinosaurs
You are doing a good job on listing the creatures on the List of cloned animals in Jurassic Park page including your part on the hybrid Indominus Rex whose DNA was later used for the Indoraptor. Since the Indominus Rex was introduced, some Jurassic World games featured other hybrids like the Stegoceratops. I was wondering how you would list them on the page that I mentioned in the event that the other editors don't want them listed on their game pages. Either way, they should be mentioned somewhere on this website. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:47, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for pointing out that my edits to the article List of cloned animals in Jurassic Park were constructive and that you want to expand the article. I usually edit articles about nature and both extant (living) and extinct animals, thus my recent edits to articles relating to the Jurassic Park movies were the first time I made significant edits to something not directly related to nature and animals. I did not add new genetically engineered dinosaur entries to the article in question because there are not many articles from trustable sources which to cite information about them. Even then most of the information will be about the main animals used to create a particular genetically engineered dinosaur. I could add information to the Indominus rex entry because there are various articles from trustable sources that discuss its abilities, origins and genome. I will try to search for such articles though. Achat1999 (talk) 06:39, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * For some of those hybrids, perhaps there might be some proof in the video game guides for Jurassic World: The Game and Jurassic World: Alive. At least the former has also included prehistoric sea creatures and Cenozoic creatures that don't have hybrid forms. --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

It seems there is already an entry about the Stegoceratops in the article. I have not played Jurassic World: The Game so I do not know about the genetically engineered dinosaurs that are featured in it. Are there more genetically engineered dinosaurs in the game? Achat1999 (talk) 09:14, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes there are. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:25, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

I read about the genetically engineered dinosaurs in Jurassic World: The Game on the Jurassic Park fandom wiki. It seems there are a lot of genetically engineered dinosaurs. The information about them is summarized on the Jurassic Park wiki. That can be used to help list the genetically engineered dinosaurs in the WP article List of cloned dinosaurs in Jurassic Park but the article only seems to be about the cloned animals in the Jurassic Park novels and films. So should a new article be created for the said purpose? Achat1999 (talk) 18:51, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I already sorted the hybrids. The ones from Chaos Effect are listed under the franchise page since someone didn't want them and the dinosaurs that only appeared in the toyline listed on the page we are talking about. --Rtkat3 (talk) 19:25, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Which Wikipedia article lists the dinosaurs in the games based on the Jurassic Park franchise? I will then edit the concerned article accordingly. Achat1999 (talk) 03:22, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * For the games that list the hybrids that first appear there, Jurassic World: The Game redirects to Jurassic Park Builder. Plus, there is no page for Jurassic World: Alive yet if you'd like to make one. As for Lego Jurassic World: The Indominus Escape (which also doesn't have it's own page), the dinosaur hybrids from the games that appear there besides Indominus Rex and Stegoceratops are Ankylodocus (an Ankylosaurus/Diplodocus hybrid), Carnoraptor (a Carnotaurus/Pyroraptor hybrid), and Spinorator (a Spinosaurus/Utahraptor hybrid). --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:46, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I see. I am not really good at summarizing information about fiction but I can add info about scientific stuff without difficulty. So I can add information about genetically engineered dinosaurs once the said articles have been created. Achat1999 (talk) 06:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Jurassic World: The Game used to have it's own page until it was redirected by AJFU while Jurassic World Alive was created as a redirect to List of Jurassic Park video games by Fmorrison. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:05, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Reverted edits in lead of List of cloned animals in the Jurassic Park series
I wanted to be specific as to why I reverted some of your edits in the lead of this article, but didn't want to write a drawn-out edit summary. If you disagree, then please feel free to revert and then kindly explain your details (not trying to be bossy...just so that I understand your points). Thank you! — Miss Sarita 11:16, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Dinosaurs breaking lose in a theme park because they were brought back from extinction is definitely "disastrous". However, dinosaurs breaking lose in a theme park, eating and killing humans, causing millions (if not billions) of dollars in damages due to abandoned research and the evacuation of an entire island, and being brought to San Diego and subsequently breaking lose (just in the first two films)...I would say that's catastrophic. :-D
 * The ethics of the science concerning the cloning of animals, let alone extinct animals, is absolutely involved, so thank you for linking to Ethics of cloning. But I believe the morality surrounding the general welfare of the animals (that humans were responsible for cloning and creating) has been mentioned in several films and was the focus of the fifth. I think it's worth mentioning.
 * Spinosaurus has been in one out of five films, so I wouldn't necessarily put it on par with T. rex and Velociraptors who have had critical roles in at least four out of five films. Don't worry...I plan to dedicate a written section to the Spinosaurus (as well as many others) and would really like your feedback and input when I get to that point. :-)

I see. You are not being bossy. I really appreciate the tips and explanation as to why you reverted some of my edits. I also plan to update the Spinosaurus section but have not gotten through with it yet. Achat1999 (talk) 11:23, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
