Tropical plants
Hello, How are you? I need your help. I thank you your help in the articles and I hope you help me again in future. I ask you: Can you find more people willing writing in tropical trees, genera and families? I ask you if you could enlarge some articles making better known this group of trees in Wikipedia, adding links to genera and families and writing information and asking people if they are interested in writing about topics as tropical trees articles, tropical forest articles or botanical or biodiversity articles. Do you know Wikipedia forums that could be interested about these type of articles? They are welcome too. I thank you very much.

I am from Spain and my mother language is not English language. Many country side areas, and Natural areas and Living beings are in Countries where population cannot collaborate with Wikipedia, but their Natural World and its highly economically valuable species are very important too in the human knowledge and developtment of the mankind. People should have information because these matters are important, not just a curiosity only. This unknow world is from Poles to ecuator, in unoccupied oceanic areas closely to Europe, in Deserts as Sahara, or whatever. But to me the main aim is to gather the abundant information disperse about living communities and living beings that have existed for millions of years because they are disappearing and in 20 years they will are not longer exist.

 * Hi, thank you very much by to be interested in Tropical flora. I hope in future you will write about this matter so unknow. You are right, the threats to biodiversity in China are formidable, and other Asian countries too!! I was looking for photos of genera and there are not photos neither. Best regards.

Greetings, To address your questions, I have had bad experiences with the automatic taxbox not letting me include information that is easily included in a regular taxbos. Unless it has changed, at one point automatic taxboxes where intended for use with palaeontology-related articles and not recommended for other taxa. This might have been the reason that they would not accept some fields. As regards the taxonomic issues with Monotrete, FishBase is usually the accepted authority regarding species lists and I have taken to using the FishBase lists even when there is uncertainty (as in COF and IUCN) rather than trying to include all possible lists, particularly in shorter articles. If you feel that the information on the taxonomic issues is sufficiently important, feel free to put it back in. Maybe with the changes recently in the classification of these fishes it would be a germane topic. That is the great thing about Wikipedia. Also, if you ever create a new article, go ahead and create the talk page to go with it. Best wishes Divingpetrel (talk) 23:37, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Lycodon Odishi
Hullo, I hope you don't mind my messaging you about this. But this appears to be your area of interest and expertise :) I came across this article in the papers today about a new species of snake named Lycodon odishi. Is this worth an article even though there's no mention in databases like reptarium.cz? Is the "Russian Journal of Herpetology" reputable? --Cpt.a.haddock (talk) 06:46, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * "Russian Journal of Herpetology" is fully reputable, although not quite "leading" as the article suggests. Lycodon odishi is probably just too recent to have been listed in reptarium.cz, which is updated every four months. Micromesistius (talk) 08:59, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Is this then worth an article now (perhaps with a caveat)? Does WP have procedures/guidelines/prerequisites for this? --Cpt.a.haddock (talk) 09:47, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * There is no clear guideline for reptiles. I would only create the article if I could get hold of the Mallik et al. article (probably one of the authors would be happy to send the pdf), or when the species is listed in reptarium.cz. Micromesistius (talk) 12:07, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello again, Your edit of Raorchestes kaikatti mentions Raorchestes marki by mistake. I don't have access to the linked paper to fix this. Please check.

Concerning Extinct Species in Leiopelmatidae
Hi, thanks for the great work in Leiopelmatidae! I wanted to ask you, should we delete the mention of Notobatrachus I've hidden, or do you know of some sources that corroborate its placement within Leiopelmatidae, and not Ascaphidae?--Mr Fink (talk) 15:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks like there is no simple answer. Lisanfos places it in Leiopelmatidae but fossilworks does not assign it to any family. It seems that there no strong consensus either that Leiopelmatidae and Ascaphidae should be treated as separate families. Maybe it is best to mention that some sources place it in Leiopelmatidae?

Hello! Could you please have a look at these animal distribution maps I've created and tell me if they are of acceptable quality or if it would be better if I left the task for someone experienced to work on?

Hi Micromesistius, I just read some of your amphibia articles and was surprised to see that someone who had created as many articles as you wasn't an wp:Autoreviewer. So I've taken the liberty of fixing that. Take care and happy editing  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  11:51, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Africa Destubathon
Hi, thanks for your work so far! Can you do me a favour though and always add every entry you do to the main list here as well as the entries page, regardless if yet approved or not as that's the master list of all articles being done. It's just veyr time consuming for me to be judging the articles, trying to contribute myself and chasing up what people have done and filling it out for people each time. So if you can take care of that this would be a great help, there's some part filled out ones underneath so you just need to add country, article name and then you username. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:33, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016
 Wikipedia Asian Month  Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Changing citations
Regarding your edit/revert on Paddlefish, please see WP:CITEVAR wherein it states: Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, to make it match other articles, or without first seeking consensus for the change. The arbitration committee ruled in 2006:

Wikipedia does not mandate styles in many different areas; these include (but are not limited to) American vs. British spelling, date formats, and citation style. Where Wikipedia does not mandate a specific style, editors should not attempt to convert Wikipedia to their own preferred style, nor should they edit articles for the sole purpose of converting them to their preferred style, or removing examples of, or references to, styles which they dislike. While updates and improvements don't always require consensus, collaboration is preferred over WP:BRD. As a courtesy, please consider suggesting changes on the TP of articles that have been promoted to WP:GA or WP:FA. Also see MOS:CT regarding title case vs sentence case.

Author question(s)
Hi, I'm doing some citation updating/maintenance and noticed that some time ago you changed  to   at Amji's salamander. IUCN's assessor list, however, gives, but they are known to be inconsistent with their author presentation. And, to my untrained eye & ear, Gu does sound like more of a last name than Huiqing, so I just wanted to confirm with you before I convert the citation over to Cite journal. Thanks. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 00:57, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, Gu is certainly the surname (1+2 syllable names are easy, the 1-syllable part is the surname. 1+1 syllable names can be tricky). IUCN seems to write most Chinese names in the Chinese style, i.e. the surname first, something that Polbot did not consider when auto-creating the articles. Cheers, Micromesistius (talk) 07:54, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense. Could you provide any other examples? I may have inadvertently botched some up, but I'm trying to be careful. What about Yuan Zhigang? (Annam tree frog)  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:48, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The same, Yuan is the surname. For mainland Chinese, IUCN appears to have been consistent in writing the surname first. I cannot recall any examples of mainlanders with Anglicized names (like Michael Wai Neng Lau, from Hong Kong). With any Chinese name with 1+2 or 2+1 syllable pattern, it is safe to assume that the 1-syllable part is the surname. Cheers, Micromesistius (talk) 13:21, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * (I'll limit these to no more than 1 per day...) What about ? I've seen this at the end of many author strings, and following several different bionomial (human) names. On WP I've never seen it mixed in with another name; it's always a separate author, and I have been treating it as such.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  15:21, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem whatsoever, and many thanks for your great efforts with IUCN citations, very helpful! Here I do not know for sure but I believe it is an Indonesian name. They sometimes have only one name. Cheers, Micromesistius (talk) 15:56, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * What about ? (1+1 syllable; Central Asiatic frog) Also, I've noticed that   is sometimes given by the IUCN with 1 "L" in Carvalho, and sometimes with 2. I haven't found out which one is correct yet, though.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:34, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Xie is the surname (in this case, one has either to know it from other sources, or try to deduce from the context). Carvalho-e-Silva/Carvallho-e-Silva: In all publications that I have in my database from him, the spelling is "Carvalho-e-Silva". Cheers, Micromesistius (talk) 13:00, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you know if  should be displayed as , or  , or perhaps just  ? (Bare-eared squirrel monkey; 41538)   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  22:34, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * It looks like to me that there is no fully standard way of dealing with "de" in Portuguese names. Perhaps the best way is to try to follow the style they have used in their own publications? For example in my literature database I have "Fábio P. de Sá" who always treats "de Sá" as his surname, but it seems that most other people leave "de" out when their name is not written in full. Micromesistius (talk) 07:02, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Probably just a typo, but what do you think about Oommen V. Oommen? ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 00:09, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Help! Two WP articles for one species!
Hi, Micromesistius! Thanks for all your work on amphibians & reptiles. I just discovered that there are two WP articles for one species of amphisbaenian: Amphisbaena microcephala and Smallhead worm lizard. I don't have the skills to combine the two. Would you be interested in doing so? Lyttle-Wight (talk) 09:42, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Lyttle-Wight! Thanks also for you for your painstaking efforts to improve reptile articles! In this case, I suggest moving Amphisbaena microcephala to Leposternon microcephalum, and redirecting "Smallhead worm lizard" to the latter. Not much content is lost when replacing "Smallhead worm lizard" with a redirect. Do you agree with this solution? If yes, I can do it. Cheers, Micromesistius (talk) 10:37, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Please do it. I always prefer scientific names anyway. Incidentally, the only scientists I know who use "common names" are ornithologists. Thanks. Lyttle-Wight (talk) 11:35, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Done – with help from an editor with sufficient move rights. I fully agree on the use of scientific names. Cheers, Micromesistius (talk) 16:55, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

October 2019 Tree of Life Newsletter



 * October 2019&mdash;Issue 007


 * Tree of Life


 * Welcome to the Tree of Life newsletter!

{| role="presentation" class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%; background:#b6ecd0;" By request from another editor, this month I wrote an overview of ways that content is featured on Wikipedia. Below I have outlined some of the processes for getting content featured:
 * Alphabet Soup: Explaining DYK, GA, FA, and More

Did You Know (DYK)
What is it: A way for articles to appear on the main page of Wikipedia. A short hook in the format of "Did you know...that ___" presents unusual and interesting facts to the reader, hopefully making the reader want to click through to the article

How it works: The DYK process has fairly low barriers for participation. The eligibility criteria are few and relatively easy to meet. Some important guidelines: The process for creating the nomination is somewhat tedious. Instructions can be found here (official instructions) and here ("quick and nice" guide to DYK). Experience is the best teacher here, so don't be afraid to try and fail a few times. The last few DYK nominations I've done, however, have been with the help of SD0001's DYK-helper script, which makes the process a bit more streamlined (you create the template from a popup box on the article; created template is automatically transcluded to nominations page and article talk page)
 * To be eligible, article is either new (newly created or moved to mainspace), a 5x expansion, or passed a GA review. Its creation, expansion, or promotion to GA must have been in the past 7 days.
 * Article must be long enough, with more than 1,500 characters of prose (this doesn't include embedded lists)
 * I find Shubinator's DYKcheck script useful in determining whether an article is eligible for nomination.

Once your nomination is created and transcluded, it will need to be reviewed. The reviewer will check that the article meets the eligibility criteria, that the hook is short enough, cited, and interesting, and that other requirements are met, such as for images. If you've been credited with more than 5 DYKs, the reviewer will also check that you've reviewed someone else's nomination for each article that you nominate. This is called QPQ (quid pro quo). You can check how many credited DYKs you've had here to see if QPQ is required for you to nominate an article for DYK.

Good Article (GA)
What it is: A peer review process to determine that an article meets a set of criteria. This adds a symbol to the top of the article. About 1 in 200 articles on Wikipedia is a GA.

How it works: You follow the instructions to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Anyone can nominate an article&mdash;you don't have to be a major contributor, though it is considered polite to inform the major contributors that you are nominating the article. The article is added to a queue to await a review. In the ToL, it seems that reviews happen pretty quickly, thanks to our dedicated members. Once the review begins, the reviewer will offer suggestions to help the article meet the 6 GA criteria. Upon addressing all concerns, the reviewer will pass the article, and voilà! Good Article!

Advice to a first-time nominator: Look at other Good Articles in related areas before nominating. If you're unsure about nominating, consider posting to the talk page of your project to see what other editors think. You can also have a more experienced editor co-nominate the article with you.

Featured Article (FA)
What it is: An exhaustive peer review to determine that an articles meets the criteria. This adds a to the top of the article. About 1 in 1,000 articles on Wikipedia is a FA.

How it works: You follow the instructions to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Nominated articles are usually GAs already. Uninvolved editors can nominate, though the article's regular editors should be consulted first. Several editors will come by offering feedback, eventually supporting or opposing promotion to FA. A coordinator will determine if there is consensus to promote the article to FA. For an editor's first FA, spot checks to verify that the sources support the text are conducted.

Advice to a first-time nominator: The Featured Article Candidate (FAC) process is a bit intimidating, but several steps can make your first one easier (speaking as someone who has exactly one). If you also did the GA nomination of the article, you can ask the reviewer for "extra" feedback beyond the GA criteria. You can also formally request a peer review and/or a copy edit from the Guild of Copy Editors to check for content and mechanics. First-time nominators are encouraged to seek the help of a mentor for a higher likelihood of passing their first FAC.

Good and Featured Topics (GT and FT)
What it is: It took me a while to realize we even had GT and FT on Wikipedia, as they are not very common relative to GA and FA. Both GT and FT are collections of related articles of high quality (all articles at GA or FA, all lists at Featured List). GT/FT have to be at least 3 articles with no obvious gaps in coverage of the topic, along with other criteria. For GT, all articles have to be GA quality and all lists must be FL. For FT, at least half the articles must be FA or FL, with the remaining articles at GA.

How it works: Follow the nomination procedures for creating a new topic or adding an article to an existing topic. Other editors weigh in to support or oppose the proposal. Coordinators determine if there is consensus to promote to GT/FT.

Advice to a first-time nominator: There are very few GT/FT in Tree of Life (5 GT and 11 FT). Most of the legwork appears to be improving a cohesive set of articles to GA/FA.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Hypodactylus


A tag has been placed on Category:Hypodactylus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon
Hi. The The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs! I don't know if you work on nature stubs found in the British Isles but as you were so productive in the African Destubathon I thought I should alert you!♦  Dr. Blofeld  12:24, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Combine Saiphos and Saiphos equalis WP articles ?
Hi, Micromesistius. Today I started cleaning up the WP article for the monotypic skink genus Saiphos. While trying to link it with French WP, I discovered that there is another separate English WP article for Saiphos equalis, the sole species in the genus. Shouldn't there be only one WP article for a monotypic taxon? I don't have the computer skills to combine them. (I can't even cut & paste.) Would you like to tackle this problem? Lyttle-Wight (talk) 15:36, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * You are right. I guess it is best to copy the content you added to the species article, then request its move to under the genus name. I can take care of this. Micromesistius (talk) 18:50, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Taxon authorities
Thank you for improving wikilinks from Pristidactylus and elsewhere. and I have been finding and fixing similar cases, but I'm not a taxonomist and it's great to see a subject expert sorting out the links accurately. Our current hit list is at User:Certes/Surname links. Certes (talk) 13:44, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Seconded. In our big exercise last year, the two of us fixed about 1500 links to surname pages for taxon authorities; but more keep being added. Narky Blert (talk) 13:55, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Adding taxa named by categories
Hi I don't know how to use hotcat, could you please add the "taxa named by Jörn Köhler" category to Boophis fayi and Boophis entingae? Thanks. starsandwhales (talk) 04:30, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Help, please. One lizard with two WP articles.
Hello, again! And I'm requesting your help again. I just finished expanding and cleaning up the WP article for Kaestlea beddomii (Boulenger, 1887) (Squamata: Scincidae). Then I found a duplicate article for Scincella beddomei (Boulenger, 1887), which is a synonym. To resolve this redundancy, I suggest that the Scincella beddomei page be deleted, and the Kaestlea beddomii page be retained. However, since I don't have the skills (or authority ?) to do it myself, could you please do it for me? Thanks in advance for your help. Lyttle-Wight (talk) 14:41, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * OK – I just turned Scincella beddomei into a redirect. Micromesistius (talk) 20:14, 4 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanx for fixing that. Lyttle-Wight (talk) 00:29, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

CoL-Taiwan
The taxonbar option for yes to get the identifier value from Wikidata should be working now. Let me know if there is a problem. I can't remember why I didn't update at the time. I probably forgot, but there might have been something else I wanted to check. —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 12:51, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Replacement names
The species Persicaria maculosa was first described as Polygonum persicaria L. When Gray moved it to the genus Persicaria, it couldn't be called Persicaria persicaria (L.) Gray because the ICNafp doesn't allow duplicated genus and species names. So Persicaria maculosa Gray is a nomen novum or replacement name, but this doesn't alter the relationship to Polygonum persicaria L. or date on which the species was first described. See the IPNI entry. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:26, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Invite to Join Wikipedia Asian Month 2023
You are receiving this message because you participated in the Wikipedia Asian Month 2022 as an organizer or editor. Dear all,

The Wikipedia Asian Month 2023[1] is coming ! The campaign start within a flexible 30 days from November to December. Following with the changes of the rules made by last year, the wish to have more people get to know Asia and Asian related topic is the same! ''' Click "Here" to Organize/Join a WAM Event. '''

1. Propose "Focus Theme" related to Asia !

If you are based somewhere in Asia, or have specific passion on an Asian topic, please propose your "Focus Theme" by October 25th. The WAM international team will select 5 themes. Please propose your focus theme through this link[2].

2. Enhancing existing articles can also count as part of campaign contribution.

Any edits, including creating new articles or adding new content to existing articles, over 3000 bytes in total would be able to get a reward. Last year, due to this change of rules, the Programs & Events Dashboard was suggested. However, according to community survey of 2022, Fountain Tool is still the best platform for tracking edit and points. You don’t need to create any Dashboard. For the tracking of editing existing article, the international team is currently designing a form. Will soon publish to the main page of WAM 2023.

3. More flexible campaign time

The contribution duration would remain 30days, but we extended the overall campaign timeline to 2 months. All organizers can decide when to start their WAM as long as the whole duration is within November 1st to December 31th. It means that you can participate in WAM based on the needs of your local community.

Timetable


 * October 1st, 2023 : Publish International Campaign Page of the Year
 * October 5th to 25th, 2023 : Call for focus themes of WAM 2023.
 * Before 29 October, 2023: Complete Registration [3] of Each language Wikipedia.
 * November 1st, UTC 00:00 to December 31th, UTC 00:00, 2023: Running the Campaign. (Find your local campaign for the actual event date.)
 * January 1st to March 15th, 2024: Auditing of each language Wikipedia.
 * March 30th, 2024: Deadline of reporting statistics and eligible editors to the International Team
 * April 1st to May 15th, 2024: The international team distributes Barnstars and Certificates to eligible editors of each event.

For your information, the main page of Wikipedia Asian Month is currently undertaking a reconstruction for archiving purpose. For the 2023 event please bookmarked this page. We hope you will enjoy Wikipedia Asian Month! If you have any inquiry, feel free to contact us by info@asianmonth.wiki [4]. We look forward to your participation.
