Disambiguation link notification for January 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Archosauriformes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anhanguera. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Probable error in turtle Cladistics.
I wanted to say that I believe you made an error in reverting the Cladistics model on the sauropteragii page, as far as I’m aware turtles are most likely the sister group of archosaurs rather than of sauria as the original model and your revert posited.

Here are some sources I think back up my claim:

 * In fact, I am a staunch supporter of the Archelosauria hypothesis. However, a cladogram should not be a compilation of data from different sources (WP:OR). The cladogram presented in the article is based on the morphological phylogenetic analysis of Neenan et al. (2013), which supports the dubious hypothesis that Archosauromorpha and Lepidosauromorpha are sister taxa. I think that in order to add a separate cladogram to the article according to Lee (2013), where Sauropterygia was found by a paraphyletic group within Pantestudines.

Tagging pages for deletion
Hello, HFoxii,

I hope you are well and having a good weekend.

I would like to encourage you to use Twinkle when you are tagging pages for all types of deletion, CSD, PROD, AFD/CFD/RFD/etc. It is very easy to use and has some handy features like maintaining deletion logs for the editor who is using it. You can also use it to tag articles for problems that you see, to post warnings to editors who need some instruction about issues like copyright or to report problematic editors to noticeboards. But what it is mainly used for, by page patrollers and administrators, is to tag pages for deletion.

For example, if you set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator", when you tag a page like Category:Polyplectronini for CSD C1 deletion, Twinkle will post a notice on the talk page of the category creator informing them of the deletion tagging. This can be important in cases like, say, a category has been emptied out of process where the edits should be reverted and the category preserved. Or, in the case of PRODs, the article or file creator can address the issues pointed out in the deletion tag and remove the PROD tag and the article is both improved and not deleted. So, I believe that notification to content creators is an important step in all deletion processes and Twinkle will take care of this for you once you set up your Twinkle Preferences (which is just a matter of checking boxes). It also means that you don't have to memorize a lot of templates and I think it is very useful to all our active editors to try out. If you have questions about it, just go to WT:TWINKLE which has a very lively talk page.

Thanks for all of your contributions to the project! Liz Read! Talk! 22:33, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

A comment on "et al."
Hello, I noticed you recently italicized the instances of "et al." on Titanomachya. I know this is commonplace on Wikipedia, but according to proposed guidelines and the Manual of Style for abbreviations, "et al." should not be italicized. The reasoning is simple; "et al." is an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et alii". While the phrase itself should be italicized, the abbreviation should not be (see also "et cetera"→"etc." and "exempli gratia"→"e.g."). While I don't think it is necessary to proceed through every page and remove all instances of italicized "et al.", I have taken an approach of removing it when I notice it while editing and avoiding it when writing new pages.

Just wanted to let you know for future reference. Happy editing, -SlvrHwk (talk) 17:58, 15 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @SlvrHwk Thank you for correcting me. It indeed would be unnecessary to remove italicized "et al." in every article manually, but maybe we can use a bot for this? Sittaco (talk) 05:15, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
