Copying licensed material requires attribution
Hi. I see in a recent addition to Androsace delphinensis you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 12:16, 28 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, I gave the attribution in the summary. I didn't know it's possible to append other contents inside a ref tag, following the cite template. Thanks so much for your advice. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race(talk・contribs) 12:59, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Recent edits
You recently made several edits to species articles, such as helmeted manakin. However, you didn't copyedit the articles to make them internally consistent, nor did you edit the appropriate genus-level articles or higher level articles, to have external consistency. Please complete this work. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:55, 24 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay, I will finish the previously modified articles.

 * I see that you have recreated this template because it was a placeholder for subpages that had no actual template code in them. I have updated it so that it works in a more sensible way, using a #switch statement instead of subpages. Once the pages using the subpage have been updated, the subpage will no longer be needed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I'll update the pages. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race(talk・contribs) 14:28, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Copyedit notes on Phenotypic disparity:

 * I'm wondering if the lead sentence should be dumbed-down a bit, or at least made a bit more obvious that the topic is biology. Perhaps: "refers to the variation of observable characteristics within biological groups."?
 * have very little species &rarr; have very few species -or- have a very small number of species
 * On the other hand, later-disparity groups may have develop new morphological forms &rarr; developed
 * Taxonomic metrics was an early approach of measuring disparity among groups in the 1980s. &rarr; In the 1980s, taxonomic metrics was an early approach of measuring disparity among groups.
 * The last paragraph reads a bit like a how-to guide which is not ideal encyclopedic tone, but it's common enough in explaining concepts or procedures and is good enough for now.

I mentioned close paraphrasing of the hook fact. I'm going to quote the source then the passage in the article, underlining the similarities.

In terms of species number, birds are more diverse than mammals (some 10,000 vs. ca. 5600 extant species worldwide), but are instead quite more uniform in terms of morphology, reproductive biology and developmental schedules. Even including less conventional kinds such as the flightless penguins and ratites (ostrich and relatives), the range of bird structural types is much narrower than the range of structural types of mammals, which include humans and whales, bats and giraffes, moles and armadillos.

and from the present version of the article:

For example, birds, with more than 10,000 species, have greater species richness than mammals, which have approximately 5,600 species. However, birds are relatively more uniform in morphology, reproductive biology, and developmental biology. Even including some rare groups, such as penguins and ratites (ostriches and their relatives), the range of body plans in birds is much narrower than in mammals, which include apes, whales, bats, giraffes, moles, the platypus, marsupials and armadillos.

So it seems like maybe half of that is straight from the source and structurally it's very similar to the source. I know it can be difficult, especially when you've been working at the text for a while. Let me take a crack at it.

For example, there are nearly twice as many species of birds as there are of mammals, indicating greater species richness, but birds are more consistent in morphology, reproductive biology, and developmental biology. The range of their body plans is relatively narrow, with outliers like penguins and ratites (ostriches, etc.), while mammals include such diverse forms as apes, armadillos, bats, giraffes, marsupials, moles, the platypus and whales.

Maybe that's a bit better? – Reidgreg (talk) 00:45, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
