Nothobranchius
In 2005, you have made this edit in which you changed branchion, to branchia for gill. In ancient Greek βράγχιον is the singular and the plural βράγχια is used for the gills of fishes. Do you have a specific source for the name Nothobranchius that supports your edit? Thanks in advance, with kind regards, Wimpus (talk) 21:14, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Yes, I used the FishBase page for the type species of Nothobranchius, i.e. Nothobranchius orthonotus. The details might still need some work (ancient Greek really isn't my forte...) but if you like you can use the following two reference templates as a starting point:
 * which will render as:
 * Quote: "Nothobranchius: Greek, nothos = false + Greek, brangchia = gill."

 * Dear Tommy Kronkvist, thank you for extensive answer. I have checked the Fishbase and saw the same etymology. I an not quite sure whether it is correct. They have translitterated βράγχια as brangchia. Greek βράγχια is normally translitterated as branchia (also indicated by Wikipedia, see the translitteration table (γ -> g, n before γ, κ, ξ, χ)), but bragchia is also seen (see book of Richard Owen). The authors of Fishbase seem to have mixed up these two modi of translitteration and translitterated γ as ng (brangchia). In this book chapter, that was used in the lemma Dendrobranchiata, the authors explain Dendrobranchiata by translating “branchia” as gills (plural) not as gill (singular) (p. 103): ”The name Dendrobranchiata (from the Greek “dendron”, tree, and “branchia”, gills), coined by Bate (1888), refers to the highly branching “tree-like” nature of the gills.” And in the book of Richard Owen, you can seen multiple times βράγχια translated with gills. I am not that quite familiar with the gender bending of βράγχια, but could it that the authors of Fishbase, similarly made an error in their translation of βράγχια, or that they forget to mention that in modern scientific jargon, it is also treated as a singular?

Speedy deletion template on Avdenture island 2
I wanted to let you know that I removed the speedy deletion template that you added on Avdenture island 2, since it didn't appear to meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. A redirect that's not linked from anywhere might still be useful for searching, and it doesn't fall into criteria R3 (recently created redirect with implausible typo) since it was created more than 10 years ago. However, you could consider nominating it for deletion at Redirects for discussion instead. Thanks, – Sonicwave talk  23:00, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for the update. –Tommy Kronkvist, 23:12, 20 August 2019 (UTC).
