[edit] IUCN Category

The IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria Version 3.1 document contains a detailed description of what critically endangered means. Could some of this information be pulled into this article? Srippon (talk) 04:10, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect problem

Resolved.

when I type critically endangered it always gets redirected to endangered unless I capitalize both words. Could someone redirect critically endangered to this page for me since I'm a newbie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallosuchus (talk • contribs)

Done. Thanks for pointing that out. —Pengo 04:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spotted Hyena

Spotted Hyena shows up on this list, but in the actual entry for the animal its conservation status is "lower risk". Which one is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.108.191.139 (talk • contribs)

I've removed it from the list and fixed its status on the article page. The only reference given for the conservation status is the IUCN (see the IUCN reference on Spotted Hyena), which last assessed the species 10 years ago as LR/cd (conservation dependent). It's possible it's being considered for a different category now, and there's some discussion on its talk page.—Pengo ^{talk · contribs}

[edit] List?

Perhaps the list contained in this page should be moved to the list of critically endangered species page? I would do it myself but I don't feel knowledgeable enough about the ins and outs of wikipedia to know if this would be following proper format.

The list of critically endangered species page is actually identical to the vulnerable species page. (All of the species on both pages are actually vulnerable, at least the ones I can verify.) List of critically endangered species should probably be deleted, or eles erased and replaced with what is here at least, unless someone h as a more complete list. I've tried looking at the IUCN red list page but I'm tired and can't navigate it well right now. I'll try looking when I have more time, unless someone hopefully figures this out first.

List of critically endangered species is just a copy of this page and doesn't even have as much content, so can basically be redirected. However, this article itself contains virtually no information besides the list. Unless the concept of critical endangered species can be expanded beyond a simple list into at least a few paragraphs of prose we may as well move this article to the other one.

[edit] Chamois

The chamois is listed as Least Concern on its page. Why is it listed here under "critically endangered"?

I've removed it as well as the Sika, as these species are both listed as Least Concern. CecilPL 14:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, but we're still left with the White Rhinoceros, which is only Near Threatned.

[edit] Move to Category?

Would this list be easier to maintain if it were made a Category? Xiner 00:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

It needs to remain list to arrange them into groups and describe the concept. Category:Critically endangered species exists as well though. Richard001 02:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed

I resolved the problem, it was much easier than arguing just to move the smaller page into the larger one, it added a sum total of ten lines and is now fixed. Meissmart 22:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Split?

So, the "Bird" section is incredibly long (150+ species). Would it be worthwhile to split this section off into its own article? -Mukk 23:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Patrick Mellinger

Is this a joke? Is this an unusual name for a genuinely endangered type of animal and not simply the name of some person? I think it is likely a joke, but I'm not sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.198.3 (talk) 22:58, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

It's a joke. I removed it. --Mukk 19:02, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where should I put these?

I am going through the whole list and I was wondering where to put 'Critically endangered, possibly extinct', 'Not Recognized' and 'Data Deficient' species. Also how can I find out information about the species that don't have wikipedia articles? Through the IUCN website? I am Currently at the Birds: Charadriiformes section. CorpseJester (talk) 17:13, 1 January 2008 (UTC) Edit: Would the scientific name of a species be preferred to the standard name (or whatever you call it) on the list? Example: 'Numenius borealis' instead of 'Eskimo Curlew'? CorpseJester (talk) 17:18, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

The IUCN database is the usual source for 'conservation status' in taxoboxes. See Wikipedia:Taxobox usage#Conservation status for details of usage. The naming convention for articles about birds is given at Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds#Bird names and article titles. -- Donald Albury 18:33, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "All American"

User "151.202.98.150" added "All-America" under "See Also". Does this look like vandalism to anyone else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.76.15.150 (talk) 14:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
