I'm glad to announce that The Amphibians and Reptiles Portal ( P:AAR) has been created and is ready for you to use. This portal covers any subjects related to amphibians, reptiles, herpetology, as well as WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles.
Purposes of the portal
Thank you for reading. If you have any questions, please leave them on the portal talk page or my user talk page. -- Melanochromis 09:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Not only is it a good thing to create articles for each genus and ensure all articles between family and genus rank are taxonomically consistent, but it should be encouraged that editors move descriptions of common characteristics to articles for higher taxa. An article on a genus should contain more than just a list of species (with no mention of the taxonomy being used). Typically, general characteristics are repeated over and over again in the species articles, which invites inconsistency. We need to be making much more use of the taxonomic hierarchy. -- Jwinius 12:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
The article of the month, the picture of the month and the "Did you know" section of this portal aren't functioning properly...I'm not sure what the problem is...if I did I'd fix it myself...could someone check this out and then post the fix procedures so I'll know in the future....Thanks ---Fixed by undoing a format change that may have caused the problem....thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.237.40.62 ( talk) 12:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
The scientific names should be pronounced as in Latin not as in English. There is lots of pronounciation helps which give entirely wrong pronounciation. It should be understandable for everybody, so the pronounciation should be the same in every language and the way they should be pronounced is Latin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.150.83.243 ( talk) 19:05, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Latin as pronounced by Kikero and Kaesar? Or Latin as pronounced by Sisero and Seezar? (... Cicero and Caesar being the names in question) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orinoco-w ( talk • contribs) 07:26, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
The TV series was educational - I watched it and thought it was great. The Show was entertaining and that too was great. IMO the show should be moved to it's own page; length of page is becoming awesome and the show can grow larger in time too. The episodes could possibly lengthen too.

Hello,
while checking iw for fr: articles on reptiles, I found that template {{
EMBL genus}} is out of date. It still point to JCVI site, which do not hosts ReptileDatabase anymore.
It is now hosted on Reptarium.cz. You may update your template. If it can helps you, you can check our own template
fr:Modèle:ReptileDB genre (and their brothers for species and family,
fr:Modèle:ReptileDB espèce and
fr:Modèle:ReptileDB famille).

Hi,
I am the curator of the reptile database at http://www.reptile-database.org. While I am not a regular contributor to Wikipedia, I would like to improve linking to and from the two sites. However, adding links to our site gives me warnings about spams. How can I avoid those warnings and add links more systematically? Sorry about my ignorance. Thanks!

Portal:Amphibians and Reptiles → Portal:amphibians and reptiles — De-titlecase. While the WikiProject is titlecase, the portal need not be and should present the subject matter in the same format as if it were an article title; a similar split is found between portal:free software and Wikipedia:WikiProject Free Software. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 09:55, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
About the space thing - I've done it with DISPLAYTITLE, and it works, so now you can see (on the portal page, not the talk page) what it looks like. Revert it if you think it looks worse, but I think we should follow standard English here where we have the technical possibility, particularly since this is largely a reader-facing page.-- Kotniski ( talk) 10:06, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
My question would be is it necessary? Do other portals have their titles formatted like that? What's the reason for the change?-- NYMFan69-86 ( talk) 02:30, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi guys, recently I overhauled the article Spiny-tailed monitor. Because I'm not a native english speaker, I would be very glad if someone checked the article for bad style or missspellings. -- 79.224.232.4 ( talk) 11:59, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you might want to add the Lygosoma veunsaiensis to your "Picture/Article of the Month" and/or some other notary page. It was discovered in 2010, but was only announced to the public this week. Many news organizations are picking up the announcement now. Thanks. JunoBeach ( talk) 23:27, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi I have continued on a discussion started earlier with some findings I have made over the last couple of weeks. It was put on hold by the death of Lonsome George, but in any case I have made some suggestions, got references and discussed it properly now. Would appreciate feedback. Talk:Turtle#Dubious Cheers, Faendalimas talk 14:46, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
I think that the portal name (page title) should be "Portal talk:Amphibians and reptiles". What do you think? Coreyemotela ( talk) 15:34, 7 May 2014 (UTC).
There is a move discussion in progress on Portal talk:Molecular and Cellular Biology which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 13:45, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
