Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

subfamily
Subfamilies should only be added to taxoboxes when the subject of the articles is genus level. - UtherSRG (talk) 04:14, 21 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes. In general, we only include the major taxa (regnum, phylum, classis, ordo, familia, genus, species) and minor taxa immediately above the taxon described in an article (for example, subfamily and tribe in Cryptonanus). Other ranks are unnecessary and only clutter up the taxobox. Ucucha 12:09, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Message for snowleopard97
Hello Snowleopard! You seem knowlegeable about the subject of zoology. I am also working animal related articles of Wikipedia. I have had some debate with some other editors (administrator?) about using subfamilies. It seems that some have taken it upon themselves to delete information on subfamilies which are useful to readers. Have you had any frustrations with this? I checked the Wikipedia Taxon page ( Wikipedia:Taxobox_usage ) and found this: "Taxoboxes should include all major ranks above the taxon described in the article, PLUS minor ranks that are important to understanding the classification of the taxon described in the article, or which are discussed in the article. Other minor ranks should be omitted." Was some council of the scholars held deciding more? What are your thoughts on this?

Bruinfan12 (talk) 02:40, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi bruinfan12, there are so many different groups, sites, and books so that it is kind of hard to decide which one is true. Many well known groups like National Geographic don't seem to say. I think maybe putting on the page that there are many differing opinions most saying there are 25-32 subspecies but "the canonical Mammal Species of the World (3rd edition) recognizes six subspecies, five of which are solely found in Latin America:[1]" They don't even recognize the Florida Panther as a separate subspecies and every other source I know, does. --Snowleopard100 (talk) 17:40, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Taxobox

 * I think it would be OK to embolden the genus, if it was a monogypic genus. Snowman (talk) 12:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Archive
You can archive comments on your talk page, to keep it tidy. It is OK to delete what gets put on your talk page; however, some users prefer to use a archive so that a record of edits can be seen. Snowman (talk) 12:50, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Take care
Please be careful when editing pages (such as Hyas (genus)). Other people may have edited the page between your edits. --Stemonitis (talk) 13:56, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes thank you. How did you know so soon? And will this page that I researched be useful?  I still couln't determine the subfamily.
 * cheers,Bruinfan12 (talk) 13:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * If you're asking how I found the correct family (or rather, up to date; Hyas was in Majidae in former times), it's because I keep copies of the papers I use a lot (including Ng et al., 2009 and De Grave et al., 2009) with me, on a memory stick. Not all families are divided into subfamilies, so there may be nothing to discover there. Oregoniidae is pretty small (4 genera; 20 species, including fossils), but will be significant because it includes Chionoecetes (an article which needs expanding, and which is probably out of date). Your article is certainly useful; don't be disheartened. --Stemonitis (talk) 14:04, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the encouragement. Should I add the subfamily in the taxbox?


 * Oregoniidae does not appear to have been divided into subfamilies, so there's nothing to add. I think the taxobox is probably complete now; there are no synonyms listed for Hyas, and the full species list is in the text already. --Stemonitis (talk) 14:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Mitchell's Water Monitor
Howdy.

When I saw Mitchell's Water Monitor in new pages, at first I thought that it might be a hoax! We have such a lot of stupid articles created. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't, and that there are plenty of reliable sources out there; that's why I quickly added a bit, so that it wouldn't be tagged by others.

As a tip; in future, you might consider working on new articles in a user-space draft, and then moving them over to the live area when they are ready - that avoids problems with people spotting a new, unreferenced page and marking it for deletion, etc.

There is also another benefit; if you can make an article larger than 1500B - that is, about 3 paragraphs - then you can submit it as a "Did you know..." entry, and if approved, it will appear on the main page of Wikipedia, and be seen by thousands. But, to qualify, you have to submit it within 5 days of creating the live article. In the case of this specific one, that's probably quite easy. But in general, it is easier to achieve if you make a draft first.

Anyway - glad to see that you are developing it. There is plenty in this book, which could be used.

Oh - and you might notice I used a 'named reference', which allows you to use the same reference many times without the repetition. Please, see this edit. For more help on that, see user:chzz/help/ref.

Finding reptile species to write about
One way to do this is to look for redlinks. If you start at the Reptile article and click on one of the "included groups" in the infobox or on the taxonomy chart you will get to the next taxonomic group down. Keep repeating this all the way down to species. Any group or species that is redlinked is ripe for you to write about.  Sp in ni ng  Spark  16:35, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikilinking
Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
 * dates
 * years
 * commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
 * common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This even applies for infoboxes, too.

Thanks and my best wishes.

Plicatulidae and Anomoiidea
Hey there, Bruinfan12! I noticed that you edited the article on the Plicatulidae awhile back and gave it the superfamily name "Anomoiidea". To the best of my own research, that name does not exist as a taxonomic term. Can I ask where you found it? Or did you just copy it from the page on the Pteriomorphia? (which I have now corrected). Am just curious. Please let me know. Thanks! -- KDS 4444 Talk  07:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi there! I found your name among Active members of WikiProject_Thailand.

If you speak Thai (I only superficially understand it due to my basic understanding of Lao), any source you could provide would also really help and maybe induce some people to modify their deletionist editing bias.

Hello Bruinfan12,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 1999–2000 Temple Owls men's basketball team for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Charles Hugh Smith is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!
