Hi, I'm Milton, and I'm a Wikimedia contributor. I am a University of Delaware undergraduate studying Biology. Besides Wikipedia, I also contribute to Wikibooks and Wikispecies. My main interests are in Chinese martial arts, fishkeeping and fish in general, and anime and manga. Most of my contributions are fish-related, made possible by the amazing power known as Google Scholar as well as the library. My contribution focus is in topics related to catfish; since I spend so much time with that, I call such work WikiProject Catfish. Despite not being an actual WikiProject, I think it has a nice ring to it. I may also flesh out other fish articles with the newer, 4th edition of Nelson (2006), Fishes of the World, as FishBase and most Wikipedia articles currently reference the outdated 3rd edition.

[edit] Articles awaiting scientific data These articles either lack scientific data, have conflicting information between sources, or have sources that I do not have access to. Amarginops sp? Gnathobagrus depressus genus? Rheoglanis dendrophorus genus? Amblydoras hancockii COTM 2003 (species inquirenda) Ariopsis/Hexanematichthys/Sciades (synonymous? species?) Bagroides (monotypic?) Bathyclarias/Dinotopterus (species?) Brustiarius/Netuma (which genus is proximus?) Delturinae/Delturus (lack access to the relevant paper describing Delturinae) Centromochlus/Tatia (perugiae?)

[edit] Better articles

A number of families have all or almost all of their genera with articles. However, most of these articles need to be expanded. Most also lack images. Akysidae Amblycipitidae Amphiliidae Anchariidae Aspredinidae Astroblepidae Austroglanididae Bagridae Callichthyidae Cetopsidae Chacidae Cranoglanididae Doradidae Diplomystidae Erethistidae Hypsidoridae Ictaluridae Lacantuniidae Loricariidae Malapteruridae Mochokidae Nematogenyiidae Pangasiidae Pimelodidae Plotosidae Pseudopimelodidae Scoloplacidae Sisoridae Trichomycteridae Also, certain articles are "better" and should be developed. An attempt is or will be made with all of these articles to make them good articles. Loricariidae Trichomycteridae Acrochordonichthys Ancistrus Brachyplatystoma Breitensteinia Horabagrus Hypancistrus Hypostomus Panaque Pseudoplatystoma Sorubim Bronze corydoras Hoplosternum littorale Chiapas catfish Mekong giant catfish Eel-tailed catfish
