[edit] Additional species

I hesitate to plug my own site, but most of your additional species are mentioned in my alphabetical index pages. Just go to the proper letter, find the genus you're looking for, and the vast majority of species that have been assigned to it should be there (I don't keep a record of typos, though). J.

[edit] Italics

Nice work on the List of dinosaurs! Please remember to italicise all generic names (e.g. Diplodocus not Diplodocus). Happy editing, Mgiganteus1 15:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I've removed all subjective determinations of nomina dubia, though. The page stated "As this can be an extremely subjective and controversial designation (see Hadrosaurus), this term is not used on this list." If it were to be included, there should ideally have to be a source given for each determination, preferably one authoritative source used throughout.

I missed reading in the article that the designation nomen dubium wouldn't be used in the list, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience. However, the designations were based solely upon what the articles said. If an article reported the genus as nomen dubium, then I indicated it on the list. So my sources were the articles themselves, and so there would be no point sourcing them. However, I agree that the articles should have a source when such a claim is made.

No worries; it wasn't difficult to remove a few words, so need to apologize. Just glad to have you aboard. I agree that each article should cite a source when it claims the genus in question is a nomen dubium. However, List of dinosaurs is a Featured List, representing one of the best articles on Wikipedia. Everything in a Featured List needs to be cited with an external source (Wikipedia itself cannot be used as the source). Since nomina dubia are often subjective based on the opinion of the authors, it's likely two different sources will differ on which genera are considered dubious, which, I believe, is the reason someone or other decided not to use the term in this list. If you really did want to try to add the words nomen dubium to each dubious genus in the list, you could (and I'm not trying to discourage you), but this would take quite a bit of work, since external sources would have to be found, and cited, in order to maintain this article's status as a Featured List.

[edit] Query

I learned in a class that this genus is tetraploid. Should this be noted in the article? Ninjatacoshell 17:20, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, perhaps we should. You certainly know more than me, so:

  1. Do you know how unusual or notable it is?
  2. Do you happen to have a reference?

If so, go ahead I would guess. And welcome. Fred 17:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- MarcoTolo 17:25, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] *

Hello, you had created an article about Sphingobacteria which is given as one of three classes of Bacteroidetes phylum, whereas in Brock biology of Microorganisms 11ed. by Madigan/Martinko, only two classes Bacteroidetes and Flavobacteria are given. I want to create some stubs for this phylum in other language wikipedia and am wondering which classfication is right and up to date? Thank you. --Katoa 17:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Queen of Demons.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Queen of Demons.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Queen of Demons.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Queen of Demons.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 04:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
