Fish gill
Hi Jeanloujustine. Thanks for your contribution to Fish gill. However, your addition did not cite any sources. Verifiability is Wikipedia policy, so please see if you can provide at least one reliable source. Otherwise your addition has little encyclopaedic value, and is liable to be removed. Thanks. --Epipelagic (talk) 20:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Alain Chabaud


The article Alain Chabaud has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Copy paste of essay which is the only source. Tone is entirely inappropriate - article would need to be re-written from scratch.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Я ehevkor ✉  11:16, 30 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The page was written from an obituary - obituaries rarely use a neutral tone, especially when they are about scientists who have had a great reputation and have influenced a generation of researchers. And you cannot expect to have many obituaries written about a single scientist, so the "single source" criterion is clearly biased. The mention "This article appears to be written like an advertisement" is certainly inappropriate - the man is dead.
 * I easily found a dozen mentions of works by Professor Chabaud in Wikipedia (English) - doesn't that count? And I linked a dozen pages to this page.
 * Anyway, I will be delighted if someone rewrites the page from its source.

Change for page
Hi User:Jeanloujustine, just wondered can you make an edit to Maiorana page please? That the name is Norman French in origin, on page 326 of this source Della Calabria illustrata the book states that the fleur-de-lis in the coat of arms of the family also indicates a Norman origin. I just don't do edits on that scale, because more than likely no one will edit the page for many months, leaving my mistakes (that become Wikipedia's mistakes) on show. You'd just have to blank the page then change categories to Norman and "Maiorana is an Italian surname" to "Maiorana is a Norman French surname" (Good examples of Norman names are Banister (surname) and Molyneux). Hope you can help, thanks.--Theo Mandela (talk) 22:13, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Drafts
I see you've create a string of incomplete articles and used an edit summary describing them as drafts. If you want to create a draft, you can preface the title of an article with "Draft:" when creating it, and it will be created in the draft space where you can work on it until you are ready to move it to mainspace. This is preferable to creating multiple incomplete articles in mainspace and finishing them after. Natureium (talk) 22:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Multiple accounts
Hi I have seen some rather odd editing patterns that may give the impression that you are using mutliple accounts or are editing in collaboration with another editor. User:Bouguerche has only edited pages that you have also edited. The edits do not seem to be problematic but if you are using MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS there has to be a very good reason for this. Dom from Paris (talk) 11:42, 3 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I have a single account but I am training a new contributor. Please do not move my edits to draft space too fast - one hour seems acceptable!11:51, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * OK that's not a problem for the other contributor, but you must not create unsourced articles. If you have the source for the information that you are including in the article then add it when you publish the article if you do not have the source then wait until you do before publishing. This is a recurrant problem with your creations and I am not the only new pages reviewer to have draftified your articles. An inuse tag is not an protection against move to draft space if there are no sources whatsoever. This way of editing creats extra work for other editors which could be avoided.

Ways to improve Microcotyle poronoti
Thanks for creating Microcotyle poronoti.

A New Page Patroller Insertcleverphrasehere just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

"Note that articles require MULTIPLE sources. One isn't enough because then we don't have info that is verifiable to multiple sources. When creating these stubs, make sure you include at minimum two references. Thank you."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

 * It seems to me that some patrollers underestimate the value of the Taxonbar. This species has a taxonbar with 6 numbered references (in addition to Wikidata itself) meaning that the species is registered in at least 6 international databases.
 * Also, for some species, there will be one and only one bibliographic reference, if the species has not been found again after its first description. That happens with A LOT of species. 16:25, 4 December 2018 (UTC) jeanloujustine
 * I would tend to agree with Jeanloujustine. I know it is just an essay but WP:SPECIESOUTCOMES suggests that so long as they have a Valid name (zoology) and one reference that describes them they are inherantly notable. I draftified those that had no sources at all. It might be worth trying to get this into a notability guideline somewhere to avoid unneccessary debate. cheers. Dom from Paris (talk) 16:42, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * , Ok. I'll make sure to check the Taxonbar in future. As a generalist reviewer, it is sometimes hard to keep up on all the different ways that refs are sometimes included. At least one inline ref is still necessary IMO though. Thanks. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  17:28, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jeanloujustine, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AJeanloujustine added] the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles.

Zoological authorship
Hi Jean-Lou, in response to this change ("No "in" here which would have a completely different meaning according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature."), I am looking for some guidance on zoological authorship. As far as I was aware, authorship is not affected by recombinations or rank changes, except for the addition of parentheses for changed combinations. While I know it is part of the botanical code to include authors for new combinations, it seems rare, on Wikipedia at least, to include the recombination authors for animal taxa. It is not against ICZN to use them, but it also does not appear to be mandated either. Can you help me understand what the difference between these taxon names would be / how they would be completely different?
 * 1) Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936) Caballero & Bravo-Hollis, 1972
 * 2) Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936) or
 * 3) Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936) in Caballero & Bravo-Hollis, 1972

Thanks for your patience! I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly. —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 20:56, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * >>> This is a system of conventions, which are very simple.

The system of the ICZN uses a simple convention: parentheses or no parentheses. In Wikipedia or any publication, we can add references, but these references are simply a complement and should not interfere with the simple system.

The use of "small" marks for the names of the authors is not compulsory at all, but give a "professional" aspect.

Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936) Caballero & Bravo-Hollis, 1972 

This is correctly written. The species has been described by Woolcock in 1936 but it was, at this time, described in a different genus (note that this system does not say which one), and Caballero & Bravo-Hollis, later (here 1972) transferred this species to the genus Paramicrocotyle. Note also that they might be right or wrong - this is simply a convention to explain what they thought about the nomenclature of this animal.

Anyway, this shows all the available information, in a compact form.

It is possible to add the reference to Woolcock and the reference to Caballero & Bravo-Hollis here, but the ICZN code does not deal with this - it is simply a matter of publication style (some journals would add it, some would prefere it later in the text). In Wikipedia, it is a good idea to add it here.

So, my preferred way of writing all this in a very compact form in Wikipedia would be:

Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936) Caballero & Bravo-Hollis, 1972 

(the references are added after the "small" mark)

Note that Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936)  is the same as above, and is not wrong, but here we do not know who transferred the species to this genus Paramicrocotyle - we have only half of the information.

Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936) 

Very weird, because this means that the species was described by Woolcock in a different genus and then we have a reference to Caballero & Bravo-Hollis. An example where the Wikipedia reference adds confusion, no information.

Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936) in Caballero & Bravo-Hollis, 1972 

"in" has a very special (and rare) usage; "Dupont in Cuvier" means that in a book authored by Cuvier, there was a chapter, or a page, which was in fact authored by Dupont (and there is probably some discussion about this somewhere). This is generally only for old books. For this particular case, that would mean that in a book by Caballero & Bravo-Hollis (published in 1972) there was a part published by Woolcock in 1936 - so this is simply absurd.

I hope this is clear... Botany is similar, but not exactly the same, so my comments should not be used for botanical nomenclature, which I do not know.

 * Many thanks for taking the time to respond so thoroughly. The "in" makes sense to me now. I will say that I don't find this example confusing or weird at all: Paramicrocotyle victoriae (Woolcock, 1936)  and would probably prefer it myself, for brevity/compactness, in taxoboxes. The parentheses already indicate it's not the original combination, so it's expected (by me, at least), that the ref would be for where that particular new name first originated. I see your point though, too. —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 23:04, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Reverted formatting changes
I would like to note that if you managed to perpetuate this kind of formatting in more than 50 articles, then that makes more than 50 articles that require layout and formatting cleanup. Sections like "Diagnosis" don't belong into species articles at all; that's a part of the standard section "Description" (which should not be called "Morphology"). It is unnecessary and undesirable to lead in any statement with phrasing like "According to Zhang, Yang & Xia..." - that's what the reference at the end of the sentence is for, and name-dropping is as surplus to requirement in taxonomic articles as it is in ones on pop culture. "Etymology" belongs at the top of the article, not below the description. And so on an so forth. Apart from that, you also reverted a number of unrelated and independently desirable changes like wikilinks to common names.

I am going to reinstitute these changes and would ask you not to revert them again without good reason. "All my other articles look like this" isn't one. We are trying to achieve a consistent structure for species articles, and wanting to preserve little walled gardens of skewed layout is not a reasonable motivation for ignoring that. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:21, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Re the short description, not sure if we even have standards for that yet, and "worms" is presumably as good as "fish parasite", so I've retained that. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:26, 21 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Having slept on it, I realize that this came over as needlessly combative; sorry, long day. I certainly don't want to put down your excellent contributions. But please let's at least talk over bringing the overall structure of these articles in line with general practice. It's an ongoing process, and guarding incidentals of "your" stuff / ownership actions don't help. Cheers! -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:29, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

review
hi, I just reviewed and approved the article, to be approved it needs to have all references, please add text and reference when you are ready, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:54, 26 January 2019 (UTC)


 * You are frightening a beginner here (User:Bouguerche) [this is not me and we are in two different continents]... in fact you deleted a paragraph exactly TWO minutes after it was created. Please allow at least a few minutes to look at references, add them, double -check. Jeanloujustine (talk) 10:59, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
