I note that you have fixed some of the weird categorisation changes made by the now blocked User:Couiros22. There are a great number of similar categorisation changes this editor has made regarding fish species and, I understand, in many other areas of biota articles. The discussions at AN/I and the blocking admin's talk page are relevant. If you have any expertise in the categorisation of fish and would like to help out with the resolving the mess, I'll let you know once we get the process sorted out and underway. I'll keep your talk page on my watchlist for the time being for your reply. - Nick Thorne talk 10:46, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

If you find that Wikipedia is using some outdated taxonomy that requires a page move to bring up-to-date, and you are certain it would be uncontroversial and are unable to make the move yourself, you should make a technical move request ( WP:RM/TR) If you think it might be controversial, and you bring it somewhere such as WikiProject Beetles, and don't receive any objecting comments you should also just make a technical move request. It is very unlikely that any editors with any taxonomic competency will see/comment on a standard requested move that didn't already comment on it if it was previously discussed in an appropriate taxonomy related WikiProject.

Hi. Somewhere, someone has something seriously incorrect regarding this name. According to The Nomenclator Zoologicus [1], this name was not made available by Dejean (ostensibly attributing it to Chevrolat), but was validated by Clark. Only if Chevrolat's name was not made available by Dejean could Clark's name be available. Scherz & Wagner do not even cite Chevrolat's name, and that would be consistent with the NZ entry. Yet, you appear to have inserted the following into Wikispecies: "Ochralea Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836: 375 Type species: Adorium flavum Olivier, 1807, by monotypy." - and this does not appear to be correct. One obvious problem is that in Dejean's listing, there were two originally included species of Ochralea [2], so it cannot have flavum as type by monotypy; ICZN Article 68.3 specifies "When an author establishes a new nominal genus-group taxon for a single species". It seems to be playing a bit loosely with the Code to claim that subsequent recognition that "Ochralea melanophthalma Dejean" is not an available name means the type has to be flavum; Article 69.4 says that eliminating all originally included species except one does not fix the remaining species as the type. The second obvious problem is that the entry in Wikispecies for Ochralea Clark says it's a junior homonym, and also gives an entirely different type species, which means that Clark's name and Chevrolat's name refer to different taxa - i.e., that Clark's name was not a validation of Chevrolat's name. Wikipedia treats Clark's name as available, and Wikispecies says it is not. You can't have it both ways. If Chevrolat's name is available, then it cannot have a type by monotypy (from my reading of the Code), Clark's name is permanently unavailable (so Scherz & Wagner screwed up completely), and the entries in the Nomenclator Zoologicus and Wikipedia are both incorrect. If Chevrolat's name is unavailable, then Clark's name is not a homonym, and the entries in Wikispecies are incorrect. One way or another, this needs to be rectified so all sources are in agreement. For now, I am assuming that Dejean did not make Chevrolat's name available, but suppose it could easily be the other way around; it would not be the first time someone tried to resurrect a name that was unavailable. Regardless, this is a mess. Dyanega ( talk) 22:20, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I looked at the citation you provided, and it says it was published in 1849, not 1842. The text also says Asphaera was established by Chevrolat, and adopted by Dejean. This 1849 dictionary is certainly not the original publication of the genus name, doesn't give a year for Chevrolat's original publication, and I don't know why the little "(D & C)" at the end would be taken as authoritative regarding authorship, let alone year, unless I'm missing something. What's needed is the original publication. Dyanega ( talk) 00:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
That's very confusing, and - as you note - not much of an actual description, and gives no included species. The table does seem pretty definitive regarding the date, at least, even if the authorship is slightly questionable. I can imagine that this dictionary must then contain the first Code-compliant descriptions for a LOT of taxa, if this entry is an example. Without that breakdown on the dates of publication, it would be pretty hopeless to work out the details, and as it is, I suspect that a lot of surprise reversals of priority are going to show up. Dyanega ( talk) 15:58, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Your change of JC Fabricius from category Entomologists to Danish Entomologists. "Danish Entomologistis is obviously fair, but I can't see why this removes him from "Entomologists". Danish Entomologists is clearly a subclass of Entomologists. Surely he should be included in BOTH categories. Foiled circuitous wanderer ( talk) 10:09, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
Agree, this family is a mess. The late F.C. Thomsom was working on a world catalogue, to be published in Myia. Word has is he favoured Ocnaea? Hopefully someone will pick it up where he left off? I was using Manual of Central American Diptera, Volume 1 Simuliid talk 18:42, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
As you surmised, that one paper both misidentified and misspelled the wasp name. There is no way to know what genus or species it refers to, so all citations and links have been removed. Shizocera now redirects to Sterictiphora, but this should not be taken to imply that the Vietnamese wasp is in Sterictiphora. Dyanega ( talk) 16:54, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
On an unrelated topic which you may certainly have come across: while acquiring a PDF of this work today, I just noticed that about half of the genus names in it that I have databased say the date is 1825 (as BHL does), and about half say 1828. Unless this volume itself was issued in parts, I don't see how this could be the case. If it WAS issued in parts, then where is the cutoff between the 1825 part and the 1828 part? Maybe you have this information handy? If not, I'll try a few other contacts and post if I can get a clear answer. Thanks. Dyanega ( talk) 22:28, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Just an FYI: a quick glance at the many species names included in this genus suggests that there might actually be quite a few that are mis-gendered, mostly names that are nouns that have been erroneously treated as adjectives. In other words, "annulitarsa" might have been the proverbial tip of the iceberg. I also see a "tritarsa" and "brevitarsa" listed, and those would also need checking to make sure the OD didn't spell them as "-tarsus". If you ever need assistance with gender agreement issues, I'd be happy to help out. Thanks. Dyanega ( talk) 17:57, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I responded to your note in Wikispecies, but have one follow-up: you say that Anaetia Dejean is NOT a nomen nudum. If that's the case, does it have a type species? I assume it would be praeusta? While Dejean's name might never be treated as valid (others seem to be thinking about a petition to suppress Kirby's name in favor of Stephens', which would have priority), it would be good to be certain about it.

If you find that Wikipedia is using some outdated taxonomy that requires a page move to bring up-to-date, and you are certain it would be uncontroversial and are unable to make the move yourself, you should make a technical move request ( WP:RM/TR) If you think it might be controversial, and you bring it somewhere such as WikiProject Beetles, and don't receive any objecting comments you should also just make a technical move request. It is very unlikely that any editors with any taxonomic competency will see/comment on a standard requested move that didn't already comment on it if it was previously discussed in an appropriate taxonomy related WikiProject.

I see your note on the biography page and wonder if you have seen my article about this gentleman in my book "Royal Mistresses and Bastards, Fact and Fiction, 1714-1936" (2007), the result of a considerable amount of research at that time. You are welcome to take what you can from it. AnthonyCamp ( talk) 09:45, 3 January 2021 (UTC).
I have gone ahead and granted you page mover privileges. Hope you find it useful. Keep up the good work, stay well. Shyamal ( talk) 09:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Somewhere, someone has something seriously incorrect regarding this name. According to The Nomenclator Zoologicus [1], this name was not made available by Dejean (ostensibly attributing it to Chevrolat), but was validated by Clark. Only if Chevrolat's name was not made available by Dejean could Clark's name be available. Scherz & Wagner do not even cite Chevrolat's name, and that would be consistent with the NZ entry. Yet, you appear to have inserted the following into Wikispecies: "Ochralea Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836: 375 Type species: Adorium flavum Olivier, 1807, by monotypy." - and this does not appear to be correct. One obvious problem is that in Dejean's listing, there were two originally included species of Ochralea [2], so it cannot have flavum as type by monotypy; ICZN Article 68.3 specifies "When an author establishes a new nominal genus-group taxon for a single species". It seems to be playing a bit loosely with the Code to claim that subsequent recognition that "Ochralea melanophthalma Dejean" is not an available name means the type has to be flavum; Article 69.4 says that eliminating all originally included species except one does not fix the remaining species as the type. The second obvious problem is that the entry in Wikispecies for Ochralea Clark says it's a junior homonym, and also gives an entirely different type species, which means that Clark's name and Chevrolat's name refer to different taxa - i.e., that Clark's name was not a validation of Chevrolat's name. Wikipedia treats Clark's name as available, and Wikispecies says it is not. You can't have it both ways. If Chevrolat's name is available, then it cannot have a type by monotypy (from my reading of the Code), Clark's name is permanently unavailable (so Scherz & Wagner screwed up completely), and the entries in the Nomenclator Zoologicus and Wikipedia are both incorrect. If Chevrolat's name is unavailable, then Clark's name is not a homonym, and the entries in Wikispecies are incorrect. One way or another, this needs to be rectified so all sources are in agreement. For now, I am assuming that Dejean did not make Chevrolat's name available, but suppose it could easily be the other way around; it would not be the first time someone tried to resurrect a name that was unavailable. Regardless, this is a mess. Dyanega ( talk) 22:20, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I looked at the citation you provided, and it says it was published in 1849, not 1842. The text also says Asphaera was established by Chevrolat, and adopted by Dejean. This 1849 dictionary is certainly not the original publication of the genus name, doesn't give a year for Chevrolat's original publication, and I don't know why the little "(D & C)" at the end would be taken as authoritative regarding authorship, let alone year, unless I'm missing something. What's needed is the original publication. Dyanega ( talk) 00:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
That's very confusing, and - as you note - not much of an actual description, and gives no included species. The table does seem pretty definitive regarding the date, at least, even if the authorship is slightly questionable. I can imagine that this dictionary must then contain the first Code-compliant descriptions for a LOT of taxa, if this entry is an example. Without that breakdown on the dates of publication, it would be pretty hopeless to work out the details, and as it is, I suspect that a lot of surprise reversals of priority are going to show up.

Your change of JC Fabricius from category Entomologists to Danish Entomologists. "Danish Entomologistis is obviously fair, but I can't see why this removes him from "Entomologists". Danish Entomologists is clearly a subclass of Entomologists. Surely he should be included in BOTH categories. Foiled circuitous wanderer ( talk) 10:09, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
Agree, this family is a mess. The late F.C. Thomsom was working on a world catalogue, to be published in Myia. Word has is he favoured Ocnaea? Hopefully someone will pick it up where he left off? I was using Manual of Central American Diptera, Volume 1 Simuliid talk 18:42, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
As you surmised, that one paper both misidentified and misspelled the wasp name. There is no way to know what genus or species it refers to, so all citations and links have been removed. Shizocera now redirects to Sterictiphora, but this should not be taken to imply that the Vietnamese wasp is in Sterictiphora. Dyanega ( talk) 16:54, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
On an unrelated topic which you may certainly have come across: while acquiring a PDF of this work today, I just noticed that about half of the genus names in it that I have databased say the date is 1825 (as BHL does), and about half say 1828. Unless this volume itself was issued in parts, I don't see how this could be the case. If it WAS issued in parts, then where is the cutoff between the 1825 part and the 1828 part? Maybe you have this information handy? If not, I'll try a few other contacts and post if I can get a clear answer. Thanks. Dyanega ( talk) 22:28, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure most recent authors treat Taldycupedidae as a distinct family, so it may be worth splitting the page and creating a separate Taldycupedidae article. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 03:17, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Just an FYI: a quick glance at the many species names included in this genus suggests that there might actually be quite a few that are mis-gendered, mostly names that are nouns that have been erroneously treated as adjectives. In other words, "annulitarsa" might have been the proverbial tip of the iceberg. I also see a "tritarsa" and "brevitarsa" listed, and those would also need checking to make sure the OD didn't spell them as "-tarsus". If you ever need assistance with gender agreement issues, I'd be happy to help out. Thanks. Dyanega ( talk) 17:57, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I responded to your note in Wikispecies, but have one follow-up: you say that Anaetia Dejean is NOT a nomen nudum. If that's the case, does it have a type species? I assume it would be praeusta? While Dejean's name might never be treated as valid (others seem to be thinking about a petition to suppress Kirby's name in favor of Stephens', which would have priority), it would be good to be certain about it.

In Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 January 12#Category:Montenegrin Malacologists, you never opened a new CfD, and the closure was unnecessary in the first place because it is acceptable for the outcome of an XfD to be different than proposed. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 12:22, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
