Hi, many thanks for your edits to Onega! Just a request; when you add information to articles about the Vendian biota, could you try not to remove information that's already there? I understand if you aren't comfortable integrating your additions to the existing text, but if you could add content at the end of the article, it'll be incorporated quickly enough; this is better than potentially losing information, as almost happened at Onega.

Is Pseudovendia also a member of Vendiidae?-- Mr Fink ( talk) 03:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry for the delay for this reply.
It is senseless to discuss the Pseudovendia charnwoodensis because this fossil represented by only one VERY bad preserved specimen and so it can be anything.
It is necessary some quantity of specimens to understand nature of Vendian fossil organism.
And not all frond-like organism are rangeomorph. Charniodiscus, Khatyspytia, Vaizitsinia, Pambikalbae it is not rangeomorph. Aleksey (

Hi, thanks for uploading the new Yorgia images! The trace fossil is particularly spectacular. All the best, Martin ( Smith609 – Talk) 01:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I actually prefer that name too :-)
Thanks for adding the Dzik (1994) citation. However it's not correctly formatted. The easiest solution is to use a citation template, andthere's a tool that makes it a very simple task well over 90% of the time. If you got to your "preferences" page, in the tab "Gadgets" there is a checkbox "refTools, adds a "cite" button to the editing toolbar for quick and easy addition of commonly used citation templates". Click this then click "Save". This places in the edit box a button that shows a form where you paste in the title, author(s), etc. Then place the cursor in the right place in the edit box' text, click "Add citation" and it does just that, including all the wiki-markup.

Hi, Aleksey, thanks for adding the Dzik 1994 ref to support the point about morphological variety. However that paper was already used below. I've followed the usual method on en.wp:
You seem to be using your Talk page to keep notes. I suggest it's better to use sub-pages of your user page for this, so that your Talk page is only for discussions. I use sub-pages a lot, see my sandbox, which is really more like a construction site.

Sorry, I seem to be pestering you a lot this morning. I suggest you create a sub-page to work on the timeline, so that its intermediate states are not visible in articles - then copy the sub-page version into the real one when everything's working OK. If you're concerned about someone else changing the real template while you're working on the sub-page version, put an {{ underconstruction}} template on the real one. -- Philcha ( talk) 07:19, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Aleksey. You've been inaactive on en.WP for a while so I guess you're at work now.

I've nothing against the Russians! You'll notice that the comment on horizontal trace fossils is in fact cited to Fedonkin. I removed the paragraph as, as it stood, it seemed to contradict itself and was difficult to follow. I didn't have time to check the sources and re-write it at the time; I've gone back to them now and re-inserted a reference to Skolithos. Martin ( Smith609 – Talk) 16:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Alexey! I suggest the detailed material you added to Mollusca about Helcionellids would be better at Helcionellids - Mollusca is already a long article, and cannot have room for details about all taxa. If the same material was at Helcionellids instead, you could expand there and then perhaps summarise the most important items at other articles, e.g. Cambrian explosion. -- Philcha ( talk) 14:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Noting your recent redirect of
Pomoria to
Tribrachidium and your cited statement on the former's talk page that "The only known specimen of Pomoria is currently recognized as a poorly preserved Tribrachidium"
, could I ask you to take a look at
Pomoria (disambiguation) which you created 4 years ago, and also at
Pomoria rhomboidalis which you also created? I don't feel I have the experience or understanding in this obscure group to separate out synonyms, taphomorphs and form genera.
On the latter point, I noticed a modern source referring to Aspidella as a form genus ( ref), but there is no mention of this interpretation in the article yet, nor of the taphomorph, Wigwamiella, at all. I wondered if this was something you might consider reviewing and resolving? I feel my role is better spent fire-fighting to keep more confusion out of the Ediacara fossils from amateur sleuths reading old books than resolving existing confusion and updating interpretations.
Note that I have removed the 'under construction' template you added to Trilobozoa as the page hadn't been edited for a couple of days. I have serious doubts about the relevance on that page of using fanciful, amateur artwork ( like this one) as a main picture to illustrate groups, the interpretation of which has evidently changed significantly over the last four decades. I am aware that particular colourful image, or cropped parts of it, have been inserted into numerous articles in various language Wikipedias, yet there are no links to any scientific sources on commons to show how these pictures are derived. It could theoretically serve a purpose to illustrate how palaeontological understanding has changed over the years, especially as some of the so-called species in it (like Wigwamiella) are now seen a taphomorphs of probable form genera, and are evidently not discrete organisms in their own right, as suggested in the fancy drawing.

I've been trying to put this table into the Palaeopascichnid article for a while now, but every time I do so it just goes underneath the citations. What should I do about this? And also, I copy-edited the table from the List of Ediacaran genera so I can more easily do it.
Name | Authors | Year | Taxonomy | Validity | Short description | Country |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Curviacus | Bing Shen | 2017 | Benthic modular organism with crescent-shaped chambers. | China | ||
Orbisiana | Sokolov | 1976 | Believed to be a close relative of Palaeopascichnus and is similar to a string of beads. | Russia | ||
Palaeopascichnus | Palij | 1976 | Although once thought to be a trace fossil, it's now considered a body fossil. | Ukraine | ||
Yelovichnus | Fedonkin | 1985 | Junior synonym of Palaeopascichnus, although chambers are different. | Russia |
this is the table in question Rugoconites Tenuirugosus ( talk) 13:57, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

after the table. In my opinion, it can do without a table, it will be enough to give a general brief description of palaeopascichnids, a generalized history of views on their nature, to mention the differences between major genera from each other. Almost all palaeopascichnids were once considered traces (meandered traces, chains of fecal pellets), including the sandy form of preservation of Orbisiana. So it will be compact, without unnecessary repetition and more beautiful than a bulky table. Aleksey (

Hi, Aleksey. You've been inaactive on en.WP for a while so I guess you're at work now. I've copied the SSF timeline to User:Alnagov/SSF timeline so you can work on it there, and will undo your changes to the main version at {{ Small shelly fauna graphical timeline}} and then put an {{ underconstruction}} template on it. -- Philcha ( talk) 08:40, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
I see you're back - excellent! Is there anything you can cite for the earliest Halkieriid fossils? -- Philcha ( talk) 16:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
I've nothing against the Russians! You'll notice that the comment on horizontal trace fossils is in fact cited to Fedonkin. I removed the paragraph as, as it stood, it seemed to contradict itself and was difficult to follow. I didn't have time to check the sources and re-write it at the time; I've gone back to them now and re-inserted a reference to Skolithos. Martin ( Smith609 – Talk) 16:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Alexey! I suggest the detailed material you added to Mollusca about Helcionellids would be better at Helcionellids - Mollusca is already a long article, and cannot have room for details about all taxa. If the same material was at Helcionellids instead, you could expand there and then perhaps summarise the most important items at other articles, e.g. Cambrian explosion. -- Philcha ( talk) 14:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello! I copy-edited the section Cambrian_explosion#Ediacaran.E2.80.93Early_Cambrian_skeletalization to add some wikilinks and touch up the grammar. Please would you review it to check I've understood your meaning (I didn't want to change the meaning at all). Also, I could not guess what "even-aged" means. Could you try another phrase please? Thanks very much -- Stfg ( talk) 16:54, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Aleksey. Do you think it would be fun to suggest that Temereva or another expert you know should use "How can such a small phylum cause so much confusion?" Then you could use it as a headline (e.g. blockquote) in Phoronid#Taxonomy - with a first-class citation. WP is too solemn and and needs some humour! -- Philcha ( talk) 12:20, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Have you ever heard of a Cambrian poriferan genus called Korovinella (syn=Kazachstanicyathus)? I've been looking for information about it, and have gotten conflicting results, namely that some sources refer to it as a (kazachstanicyathid) archaeocyathan, while others refer to it as a stromatoporoidean, even though it's from the Lower Cambrian, and literally all sources state that the earliest stromatoporoideans are Ordovician.-- Mr Fink ( talk) 22:09, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Noting your recent redirect of
Pomoria to
Tribrachidium and your cited statement on the former's talk page that "The only known specimen of Pomoria is currently recognized as a poorly preserved Tribrachidium"
, could I ask you to take a look at
Pomoria (disambiguation) which you created 4 years ago, and also at
Pomoria rhomboidalis which you also created? I don't feel I have the experience or understanding in this obscure group to separate out synonyms, taphomorphs and form genera.
On the latter point, I noticed a modern source referring to Aspidella as a form genus ( ref), but there is no mention of this interpretation in the article yet, nor of the taphomorph, Wigwamiella, at all. I wondered if this was something you might consider reviewing and resolving? I feel my role is better spent fire-fighting to keep more confusion out of the Ediacara fossils from amateur sleuths reading old books than resolving existing confusion and updating interpretations.
Note that I have removed the 'under construction' template you added to Trilobozoa as the page hadn't been edited for a couple of days. I have serious doubts about the relevance on that page of using fanciful, amateur artwork ( like this one) as a main picture to illustrate groups, the interpretation of which has evidently changed significantly over the last four decades. I am aware that particular colourful image, or cropped parts of it, have been inserted into numerous articles in various language Wikipedias, yet there are no links to any scientific sources on commons to show how these pictures are derived. It could theoretically serve a purpose to illustrate how palaeontological understanding has changed over the years, especially as some of the so-called species in it (like Wigwamiella) are now seen a taphomorphs of probable form genera, and are evidently not discrete organisms in their own right, as suggested in the fancy drawing.

I've been trying to put this table into the Palaeopascichnid article for a while now, but every time I do so it just goes underneath the citations. What should I do about this? And also, I copy-edited the table from the List of Ediacaran genera so I can more easily do it.
Name | Authors | Year | Taxonomy | Validity | Short description | Country |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Curviacus | Bing Shen | 2017 | Benthic modular organism with crescent-shaped chambers. | China | ||
Orbisiana | Sokolov | 1976 | Believed to be a close relative of Palaeopascichnus and is similar to a string of beads. | Russia | ||
Palaeopascichnus | Palij | 1976 | Although once thought to be a trace fossil, it's now considered a body fossil. | Ukraine | ||
Yelovichnus | Fedonkin | 1985 | Junior synonym of Palaeopascichnus, although chambers are different. | Russia |
this is the table in question Rugoconites Tenuirugosus ( talk) 13:57, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
|}
after the table. In my opinion, it can do without a table, it will be enough to give a general brief description of palaeopascichnids, a generalized history of views on their nature, to mention the differences between major genera from each other. Almost all palaeopascichnids were once considered traces (meandered traces, chains of fecal pellets), including the sandy form of preservation of Orbisiana. So it will be compact, without unnecessary repetition and more beautiful than a bulky table. Aleksey (

I've been reading The Dawn of Animal Life: A Biohistorical study recently and I've noticed that Glaessner uses the term "Medusoids" to refer to the now outdated idea of disc-shaped forms (such as Cyclomedusa) as being Jellyfish. This may be where @ Prescov found his idea to make an article on a term describing fossils of dubious nature and affinity and then claim that it possess a taxonomic rank.

Hi Alnagov, sorry about the dispute we had a few years ago about the segment/isomer articulation in Dickinsona, I regret the way I behaved in that interaction. I've gone and reworked the Dickinsonia article, based on the recent description given in "Body plan of Dickinsonia, the oldest mobile animals" [5].
