Hi Animalparty,
I am planning to propose the suite of Gray's Anatomy gallery articles for deletion, like this one was: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of images in Gray's Anatomy: XII. Surface anatomy and Surface Markings. You stated here:
Organizing the content at Commons, Wikibooks and/or Wikiversity is more appropriate
I was wondering... should I port these to Wikibooks or is the fact that the images are already in the Commons category commons:Category:Gray's Anatomy plates sufficient in your mind? Cheers, -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 07:27, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi AnimalParty, thanks for your input about the Gay Comix article. Clearly I'm new at this. Could you explain more about what it appropriate and what is not? I added a table of contents for the issue I had in my hands (held by the Smithsonian Museum of American History). I thought the artists who contributed to this publication seemed likely to be of interest to someone.
I'm not really sure how to "verify" the contents if all I have to go on is the primary source material. This is a pretty undocumented part of history, which is why I thought it might be important to document it. Actually, I did find ONE of the artists in the Comic Book Database, mentioning his work in Gay Comix. (T.O. Sylvester).
I suppose I could have uploaded a picture of the first panel of each comic strip, showing the person's name and title of the strip. Would that have been acceptable verification?
Thanks for any insight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gybowman ( talk • contribs) 13:55, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I saw you had recently edited Anthony's poison arrow frog aka Epipedobates anthonyi (Noble, 1921). I hope you can point the below confusion in the direction of someone who can resolve which tasty frog is which.
A recent featured picture was for Phantasmal poison frog aka Dendrobates tricolor (Boulenger, 1899). Wandering around from there I came across article Epibatidine which happily said that "is secreted by the frog species Epipedobates anthonyi (also known as Epipedobates tricolor)." That article's See Also linked to Phantasmidine which happily said "from the Ecuadorian poisonous frog Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipeptobates Anthonyi)..." and ref's external article Phantasmidine: an Epibatidine Congener from the Ecuadorian Poison Frog Epipedobates anthonyi which says both "isolated and characterized from the frog Epipedobates anthonyi (formerly Epipedobates tricolor, Boulenger, 1899)." and "named this compound phantasmidine after the trivial name for Epipedobates anthonyi, the “phantasmal poison frog”". Yet another ref [1] says for tricolor "Especies similares: Epipedobates anthonyi,..."
So if I have this right:
At this point I just look at the pictures and think these are not the same.
Epibatidine is...
Hmm, my latest theory is... tricolor and anthonyi are different, no article should say 'also' or 'formerly', and Epibatidine should only mention tricolor. Can you think of anybody who's an expert on these pretty frogs? Shenme ( talk) 03:37, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

That's...odd. I could have sworn when I looked at the article this morning there was a reference to multiple books - like about twenty published. I don't know where I got that, but that was my rationale for the categories in question.
To your point: I don't tend to add the "writer" categories to just any scientist who has published a couple of books. I look for evidence of more - ten or twenty. That, to me, indicates someone who spent substantial time as a writer, even within a rather narrow field. Which is my usual justification. I can't figure out how I went off the rails this morning, but am inclined to put it down to being bleary-eyed and having just gotten out of bed. Sorry about that. And my usual caveat: if you disagree, please feel free to revert. I hardly think most of my categorizations are set in stone. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

I agree with your review of this specific page. However, I've edited over 300 virus genus, family, and subfamily pages (added almost 200 red-linked pages). One of my main goals was to preserve a similar format across all virus taxon pages. In genera with several hundred species, the collapsed taxonomy makes a lot of sense. In families with many genera, the table view helps pull out differences among these genera. I don't think it hurts to have a quick-view format (rather than prose), especially for visitors who just want to know if a certain virus is enveloped, or if a family is lysogenic.

I have decided to promote the articles Weaver ant and its two extant species to FA status to form an FA topic in the future, but what concerns me is the possible opposition due to the 13 extinct species. If I recall, there is almost zero sources (other than the source that describes the species) that would guarantee it as a start-class article and not enough text for all of them to be standalone articles, so I feel all of them should be redirected to the main genus article and discussed there instead. I am sure you would have a very similar opinion on this, as we have discussed this in the past with other extinct taxa. However, I feel like I should get the opinions of some editors such as yourself first anyway. Burklemore1 ( talk) 04:30, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

In the Rollo Beck article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollo_Beck under ===Galápagos Islands, Ecuador=== there is the phrase "ornithological expedition to the Galápagos Islands of the coast of Ecuador". I think perhaps "of" should be changed to "off" but even that change I find unsatisfactory. I think the phrase should be fixed but I not sure what is best. Can you advise?
You tagged it as a "redirect with possibilities". I undid it but was subsequently undone by @ DN-boards1:. My question is this: can we ever have an article about an "American ivory-billed woodpecker" when there is no such thing? It's the nominate race, so it's just the "ivory-billed woodpecker". Right?

Thank you for patrolling List of mandolinists (sorted). You asked if there wasn't a reason that it can't be merged with the already existing list and the answer is no. I think it probably needs to be merged. When I began this list, its material came from the French Wikipedia. I didn't feel for dealing with two lists of names at the time, especially with all of the work that needs to be done putting references on names. The other issue is that the first list has/had (I need to check again) a lot of good players who don't meet the criteria I set up this list with. The list is pointless to me if anyone can learn the instrument and get on the list; that's what the mandolin category is for. I envision a list of names that bring credit to the instrument by improving its lot.
So, yes I think the lists need to be merged. I am not sure what to do at this point other than plug away. The original list is relatively static, so I am not sure if others are editing or not.

Thanks for the comments. I am trying to find a simple way to make as many pages in Wikipedia as there are species described in the big paper by Kritsky et al. All species are described and illustrated [9], and all is open access. This page is simply the third in a long series to come. Please look also at Pseudorhabdosynochus americanus and Pseudorhabdosynochus yucatanensis. I have tried to use a mixture of general comments (written in common language) and details (copied and pasted from the original text). If this does not work, please explain.

I am not at all sure that what you have done is sensible. The taxonomy in this phylum is nightmarishly complex with different multiple differing opinions on the taxonomy. A recent proposal has been made to revise the gregarine taxonomy entirely has been made - see Gregarinasina. This is not the only proposal fr this taxon's revision. Whether or not a taxon remains monotypic or even continues in existence is an open question givn the amount of work being done on classification with the genomes. Given this state of flux it is IMHO a lot easier to leave the page alone in case the taxon has multiple other subtaxa added to it. What might be sensible for other more stable taxa may prove very messy for this one. There are not to many other editors working on this phylum. Virion123 ( talk) 11:52, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I appreciate the advice and the help. However having previously had difficulties with copyright and licenses on the Wikipedia I'm now so risk adverse that I'm ensuring I comply completely with any copyright licenses and follow the advice given to ensure compliance unless advised legally otherwise. I've researched the ideal attribution and am following exactly the advice given by the Creative Commons website, the organisation that created the original licenses. As I understand it, this is the ideal attribution and is correct. I recognise that it may not be elegant but I'm confident I'm legally complying with both copyright and the CC BY 4.0 license by attributing the images this way. I'm following this advice in the caption and have improved my citation techniques in line with advice from other Wikipedia editors. Obviously I'd be prepared to adapt my attribution techniques if given legal advice of the same by either Wikipedia or Creative Commons lawyers but until then will be following the exact advice given by the Creative Commons website as regards ideal attribution. As explained, I've been bitten by copyright infringement previously on Wikipedia and refuse to put myself into that situation again. I'd also like to point out the other reason why I attribute images as I do. Please read my message on Talk:Hyphalus wisei. Thank you again for your help and advice. I do appreciate it.

Hello Animalparty, first of all happy new year! I was a little unsure about Hetrick's current status if he's alive or not, because as of 1953 he was retired, so that would make him really old right now, so as for now I think the living people tag is not certain. Thanks!
Hello, @ Animalparty:. I am asking for your help, because you originally identified the conflict of interest here, where Wikisaichan was editing Sairu. If you choose not to get involved with that issue any more, please just let me know and I will find other ways to pursue it.
Since your note, Wikisaichan has stopped editing but suddenly an IP editor (118.1.138.55) has taken over; I suspect it is the same person. He/she is making worse and worse edits, and refusing to engage on the talk page. Proper grammar and spelling are removed in favour of strange sentence fragments, maintenance tags are removed, dozens of references to FaceBook, blogs and unverifiable YouTube videos are added - one single statement has 25 references (all useless).
I am not used to dealing with such a recalcitrant editor, and I was hoping you could provide some suggestions. I can't warn the IP using the usual tools. I am not convinced that the article is beyond saving, so I am reluctant to go to AfD. I have almost no hair left to pull out.

I haven't commented at the link you put at

Ralph Vary Chamberlin is clearly a very good article, and I'm not sure what you could do to improve it, although I noticed that the alt
tags don't really follow
WP:ALT and for featured articles they should. It would be nice to know exactly why he was banned from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, although Mayr is known for his combativeness – his attacks on cladistics and its followers are not especially temperate. Knowing that zoologists have been known to choose names to settle scores, I couldn't help noticing that Chamberlineptus contains "ineptus". :-)

Hi, I noticed you removed a category at Aphonopelma hentzi. Until recently, I mostly edited plant articles, and the norm at WP:PLANTS is to categorize scientific names into the appropriate taxonomic categories (as just one example, see [11]). This makes it easier for anyone who uses the category system to traverse the taxonomic hierarchy. There's also the issue of where to put [[Category:Animals described in 1852]] for this species. "Texas brown tarantula" was not published in 1852; the specific name "hentzii" [with this spelling] was what was published (at that time in the genus Mygale) and what is attributed to Girard, 1852.
Is there any Wikipedia guidance on categorizing such redirects for animals? Peter coxhead ( talk) 17:33, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
when just 1 of 34 articles in Category:Aphonopelma is at the vernacular name it seems useful to me to add the single scientific name redirect to get a comprehensive list of Aphonopelma species with articles.

Hi Animalparty, I just completed an article for Kalligrammatidae and was wondering if you have access to more high definition images from Mesozoic lacewings from China provide phylogenetic insight into evolution of the Kalligrammatidae (Neuroptera)., Yang et al, 2014? I noticed you uploaded two of them to commons and would like to add more for the genera when they are created. Let me know! Thanks. -- Kev min § 20:14, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Animalparty,
I am planning to propose the suite of Gray's Anatomy gallery articles for deletion, like this one was: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of images in Gray's Anatomy: XII. Surface anatomy and Surface Markings. You stated here:
Organizing the content at Commons, Wikibooks and/or Wikiversity is more appropriate
I was wondering... should I port these to Wikibooks or is the fact that the images are already in the Commons category commons:Category:Gray's Anatomy plates sufficient in your mind? Cheers, -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 07:27, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi AnimalParty, thanks for your input about the Gay Comix article. Clearly I'm new at this. Could you explain more about what it appropriate and what is not? I added a table of contents for the issue I had in my hands (held by the Smithsonian Museum of American History). I thought the artists who contributed to this publication seemed likely to be of interest to someone.
I'm not really sure how to "verify" the contents if all I have to go on is the primary source material. This is a pretty undocumented part of history, which is why I thought it might be important to document it. Actually, I did find ONE of the artists in the Comic Book Database, mentioning his work in Gay Comix. (T.O. Sylvester).
I suppose I could have uploaded a picture of the first panel of each comic strip, showing the person's name and title of the strip. Would that have been acceptable verification?
Thanks for any insight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gybowman ( talk • contribs) 13:55, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I saw you had recently edited Anthony's poison arrow frog aka Epipedobates anthonyi (Noble, 1921). I hope you can point the below confusion in the direction of someone who can resolve which tasty frog is which.
A recent featured picture was for Phantasmal poison frog aka Dendrobates tricolor (Boulenger, 1899). Wandering around from there I came across article Epibatidine which happily said that "is secreted by the frog species Epipedobates anthonyi (also known as Epipedobates tricolor)." That article's See Also linked to Phantasmidine which happily said "from the Ecuadorian poisonous frog Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipeptobates Anthonyi)..." and ref's external article Phantasmidine: an Epibatidine Congener from the Ecuadorian Poison Frog Epipedobates anthonyi which says both "isolated and characterized from the frog Epipedobates anthonyi (formerly Epipedobates tricolor, Boulenger, 1899)." and "named this compound phantasmidine after the trivial name for Epipedobates anthonyi, the “phantasmal poison frog”". Yet another ref [1] says for tricolor "Especies similares: Epipedobates anthonyi,..."
So if I have this right:
At this point I just look at the pictures and think these are not the same.
Epibatidine is...
Hmm, my latest theory is... tricolor and anthonyi are different, no article should say 'also' or 'formerly', and Epibatidine should only mention tricolor. Can you think of anybody who's an expert on these pretty frogs? Shenme ( talk) 03:37, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

That's...odd. I could have sworn when I looked at the article this morning there was a reference to multiple books - like about twenty published. I don't know where I got that, but that was my rationale for the categories in question.
To your point: I don't tend to add the "writer" categories to just any scientist who has published a couple of books. I look for evidence of more - ten or twenty. That, to me, indicates someone who spent substantial time as a writer, even within a rather narrow field. Which is my usual justification. I can't figure out how I went off the rails this morning, but am inclined to put it down to being bleary-eyed and having just gotten out of bed. Sorry about that. And my usual caveat: if you disagree, please feel free to revert. I hardly think most of my categorizations are set in stone. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

I agree with your review of this specific page. However, I've edited over 300 virus genus, family, and subfamily pages (added almost 200 red-linked pages). One of my main goals was to preserve a similar format across all virus taxon pages. In genera with several hundred species, the collapsed taxonomy makes a lot of sense. In families with many genera, the table view helps pull out differences among these genera. I don't think it hurts to have a quick-view format (rather than prose), especially for visitors who just want to know if a certain virus is enveloped, or if a family is lysogenic.

I have decided to promote the articles Weaver ant and its two extant species to FA status to form an FA topic in the future, but what concerns me is the possible opposition due to the 13 extinct species. If I recall, there is almost zero sources (other than the source that describes the species) that would guarantee it as a start-class article and not enough text for all of them to be standalone articles, so I feel all of them should be redirected to the main genus article and discussed there instead. I am sure you would have a very similar opinion on this, as we have discussed this in the past with other extinct taxa. However, I feel like I should get the opinions of some editors such as yourself first anyway. Burklemore1 ( talk) 04:30, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

In the Rollo Beck article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollo_Beck under ===Galápagos Islands, Ecuador=== there is the phrase "ornithological expedition to the Galápagos Islands of the coast of Ecuador". I think perhaps "of" should be changed to "off" but even that change I find unsatisfactory. I think the phrase should be fixed but I not sure what is best. Can you advise?
You tagged it as a "redirect with possibilities". I undid it but was subsequently undone by @ DN-boards1:.

Thank you for patrolling List of mandolinists (sorted). You asked if there wasn't a reason that it can't be merged with the already existing list and the answer is no. I think it probably needs to be merged. When I began this list, its material came from the French Wikipedia. I didn't feel for dealing with two lists of names at the time, especially with all of the work that needs to be done putting references on names. The other issue is that the first list has/had (I need to check again) a lot of good players who don't meet the criteria I set up this list with. The list is pointless to me if anyone can learn the instrument and get on the list; that's what the mandolin category is for. I envision a list of names that bring credit to the instrument by improving its lot.
So, yes I think the lists need to be merged. I am not sure what to do at this point other than plug away. The original list is relatively static, so I am not sure if others are editing or not.

Thanks for the comments. I am trying to find a simple way to make as many pages in Wikipedia as there are species described in the big paper by Kritsky et al. All species are described and illustrated [9], and all is open access. This page is simply the third in a long series to come. Please look also at Pseudorhabdosynochus americanus and Pseudorhabdosynochus yucatanensis. I have tried to use a mixture of general comments (written in common language) and details (copied and pasted from the original text). If this does not work, please explain.

I am not at all sure that what you have done is sensible. The taxonomy in this phylum is nightmarishly complex with different multiple differing opinions on the taxonomy. A recent proposal has been made to revise the gregarine taxonomy entirely has been made - see Gregarinasina. This is not the only proposal fr this taxon's revision. Whether or not a taxon remains monotypic or even continues in existence is an open question givn the amount of work being done on classification with the genomes. Given this state of flux it is IMHO a lot easier to leave the page alone in case the taxon has multiple other subtaxa added to it. What might be sensible for other more stable taxa may prove very messy for this one. There are not to many other editors working on this phylum. Virion123 ( talk) 11:52, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I appreciate the advice and the help. However having previously had difficulties with copyright and licenses on the Wikipedia I'm now so risk adverse that I'm ensuring I comply completely with any copyright licenses and follow the advice given to ensure compliance unless advised legally otherwise. I've researched the ideal attribution and am following exactly the advice given by the Creative Commons website, the organisation that created the original licenses. As I understand it, this is the ideal attribution and is correct. I recognise that it may not be elegant but I'm confident I'm legally complying with both copyright and the CC BY 4.0 license by attributing the images this way. I'm following this advice in the caption and have improved my citation techniques in line with advice from other Wikipedia editors. Obviously I'd be prepared to adapt my attribution techniques if given legal advice of the same by either Wikipedia or Creative Commons lawyers but until then will be following the exact advice given by the Creative Commons website as regards ideal attribution. As explained, I've been bitten by copyright infringement previously on Wikipedia and refuse to put myself into that situation again. I'd also like to point out the other reason why I attribute images as I do. Please read my message on Talk:Hyphalus wisei. Thank you again for your help and advice. I do appreciate it.

Hello Animalparty, first of all happy new year! I was a little unsure about Hetrick's current status if he's alive or not, because as of 1953 he was retired, so that would make him really old right now, so as for now I think the living people tag is not certain. Thanks!
Hello, @ Animalparty:. I am asking for your help, because you originally identified the conflict of interest here, where Wikisaichan was editing Sairu. If you choose not to get involved with that issue any more, please just let me know and I will find other ways to pursue it.
Since your note, Wikisaichan has stopped editing but suddenly an IP editor (118.1.138.55) has taken over; I suspect it is the same person. He/she is making worse and worse edits, and refusing to engage on the talk page. Proper grammar and spelling are removed in favour of strange sentence fragments, maintenance tags are removed, dozens of references to FaceBook, blogs and unverifiable YouTube videos are added - one single statement has 25 references (all useless).
I am not used to dealing with such a recalcitrant editor, and I was hoping you could provide some suggestions. I can't warn the IP using the usual tools. I am not convinced that the article is beyond saving, so I am reluctant to go to AfD. I have almost no hair left to pull out.

I haven't commented at the link you put at

Ralph Vary Chamberlin is clearly a very good article, and I'm not sure what you could do to improve it, although I noticed that the alt
tags don't really follow
WP:ALT and for featured articles they should. It would be nice to know exactly why he was banned from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, although Mayr is known for his combativeness – his attacks on cladistics and its followers are not especially temperate. Knowing that zoologists have been known to choose names to settle scores, I couldn't help noticing that Chamberlineptus contains "ineptus". :-)

This makes it easier for anyone who uses the category system to traverse the taxonomic hierarchy. There's also the issue of where to put [[Category:Animals described in 1852]] for this species. "Texas brown tarantula" was not published in 1852; the specific name "hentzii" [with this spelling] was what was published (at that time in the genus Mygale) and what is attributed to Girard, 1852.
Is there any Wikipedia guidance on categorizing such redirects for animals? Peter coxhead ( talk) 17:33, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
when just 1 of 34 articles in Category:Aphonopelma is at the vernacular name it seems useful to me to add the single scientific name redirect to get a comprehensive list of Aphonopelma species with articles. So I think the redirect should be categorized. Peter coxhead ( talk) 08:37, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Animalparty, I just completed an article for Kalligrammatidae and was wondering if you have access to more high definition images from Mesozoic lacewings from China provide phylogenetic insight into evolution of the Kalligrammatidae (Neuroptera)., Yang et al, 2014? I noticed you uploaded two of them to commons and would like to add more for the genera when they are created. Let me know! Thanks. -- Kev min § 20:14, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
