Common names
There's a discussion on MSW3 and common names on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. No need to give my opinion there I think ;-). By the way, I am just uploading my new Mammal Taxonomy file (http://www.geocities.com/mammal_taxonomy/06-3.zip). I'll update the website when that's ready. Ucucha (talk)  14:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I think you should weigh in anyway. Or at least keep your eye on the discussion. Oh dear... and I'd *just* downloaded 05-8.zip! :) - UtherSRG (talk) 14:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That's probably the reason the site was down ;-). I'll keep an eye on it, at least. Ucucha (talk)  14:44, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

The website still points to 05-8, btw. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

And your link to 06-3 above is to an empty zip file. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Are you sure? The "File Manager" says it's actually 2672 KB and I am able to download it. Ucucha (talk)  16:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * http://www.geocities.com/mammal_taxonomy/06-3.zip . Ucucha (talk)  17:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Try it on another computer... I was doing "save location as..." and getting a blank file. Just clicking gives me a redirect to http://us.share.geocities.com/mammal_taxonomy/06-3.zip and that gives a default Yahoo/Geocities "This page is not available." error. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:06, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That's probably because it has been downloaded. The site will be up again in an hour or so (that has to do with the datalimit). Ucucha (talk)  17:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

new lepilemur species
Yup... I know about them: Thanks, though! :) Care to translate your article into the three articles that would be on en:? - UtherSRG (talk) 17:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Tomorrow maybe... Ucucha (talk)  18:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

orangutan
There is some controversy over the spelling indicated in the opening line of this article. Please come to talk:orangutan and weigh in if you please. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Molecular support for Epitheria
I just thought you'd like to see this: Kriegs JO, Churakov G, Kiefmann M, Jordan U, Brosius J, Schmitz J. (2006) Retroposed Elements as Archives for the Evolutionary History of Placental Mammals. PLoS Biol 4(4): e91. --Aranae 20:55, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot, but I had seen it already. Do you know about the new Heteromys, Heteromys nubicolens? Ucucha (talk)  10:07, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Black-tufted Marmoset
Check out Talk:Black-tufted Marmoset and the recent history of the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I just answered about it. Ucucha (talk)  15:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * So I see. Thansk! I knew you'd have a good answer either way. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

White-footed Dunnart
Sir do u have this in dutch too? Please copy it. Enlil Ninlil 02:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * No, I'm sorry. I just wrote the S. crassicaudata article because it has such a long name in Dutch ;-). The Dutch Wikipedia has 80 articles on marsupials. Ucucha (talk)  05:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Tarsius lariang
Do we have a reference for this? (Yay! New species!) - UtherSRG (talk) 19:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Tarsius lariang. It's from Groves. Ucucha (talk)  19:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll translate it. Ucucha (talk)  19:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I just did. Can you correct my English if there are any mistakes? Thanks, Ucucha (talk)  19:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You bet! I'll also update the reference with the DOI, URL and cite journal - UtherSRG (talk) 23:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. Take a look. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Ucucha (talk)  05:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Sofixit
Hi. Just thought you ought to know that the sofixit template is aimed at newcomers who don't know their way around. If you use it on more experienced editors, it just tends to wind them up - best to check before using it. All the best SP-KP 18:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Best just don't make me need using it. Why don't you just improve the article instead of adding pointless templates? Ucucha 19:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm actually quite offended by that comment. I gave you a friendly piece of advice to help you understand that something about one of your recent actions had the potential to upset other editors. I don't think it warranted that response. If you want me to, I'm very happy to explain why I chose to place a cleanup tag on that article rather than fixing it, to help you understand why this is the case, Please remember we're all supposed to get on harmoniously here, and reduce tension rather than create it. SP-KP 19:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I feel my last comment (and maybe also the sofixit one) was indeed far from being nice. Hopefully you'll accept my apologies. It's just I don't like such templates and I was a bit angry or so.


 * Apology accepted - we all feel like that from time to time SP-KP 11:03, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I think the best thing you could have done was just adding a comment on the talk page. I'd have fixed it anyway and I think that would be better than such templates. I believe templates will turn off readers from Wikipedia, because they'll think "Oh no, this article is very bad, there is even a special box to explain that it's so horrible" and they won't use Wikipedia anymore (the situation might be less severe in practice, but this is indeed how things can go). I think it's better to use the talk page than to use such a self-reference template, which is (as my limited experience tells me) often placed on articles that don't seem to be that bad. So, hopefully you'll understand my reaction a bit now. :-) Ucucha 20:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I think you have a fair point about the impact of expansion tags. I will think about whether in future to place them in articles, or on talk pages. SP-KP 11:03, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for accepting :-).
 * OK, thanks :-). Ucucha 11:36, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

New species / Nouvelles espèces
Hi, Ucucha. You have an answer to your message here. - Archipelago 20:12, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I rpelied earlier on my talk, but I've also now created Claire's Mouse Lemur based on your NL article. Please take a look and add/amend as needed. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 13:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

How's your knowledge of the code? Would you mind checking out the debate at Talk:Eastern_Timber_Wolf? --Aranae 16:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

new marsupials
The change to made to List of monotremes and marsupials means that the following links and articles also need to be changed: Dasycercus, Mulgara, Dasycercus cristicauda, Dasyurini, Dasyurinae, Dasyuridae, Dasyuromorphia. In most, it's just as simple as duplicating your change or updating number of species. For Mulgara, the article will need to be editted and moved to the new name, and the incoming links and redirects will need to be updated. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * OK (The article is at ) Ucucha 14:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I updated mulgara so that it is no longer a species article but a genus article, instead of moving it as I suggested above. - 15:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * You edit-conflicted me. ;-) But the article is good now. Remember that there are also four species of Myoictis ;-). Ucucha 15:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
