Linking Ungulates

Forgive me, but, I don't think it's necessary to place a template linking to all of the ungulate pages on all of the ungulate pages. At the very least, it doesn't seem appropriate to have links about whales on pages only about giraffes or perissodactyls. Your current template is too large and unwieldy, too. It should be refined.--Mr Fink 03:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it would be better if we worked on an ungulate portal, instead of having all those links cluttering up the pages?--Mr Fink 03:20, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

templates

Just so you know, if something exists as a template you can add it to an article without adding all the code, you an just add {{Template:Birds}} instead. Much simpler. I've been changing the order articles to refelect this. Interesting idea having the orders on the footer, I'd been thinking about this myself, but hadn't done anything about it. Sabine's Sunbird talk 21:54, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And even easier, you can leave off "template:" as so: {{Equidae}} - UtherSRG (talk) 12:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But please don't stick {{Birds}} in the birds template. It just creates a loop. Eeekster (talk) 02:08, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't subst navigation templates. It makes maintaining the template extremely difficult. Zetawoof_(ζ) 04:00, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I've deleted Carnivora Template which I assume you mistakenly created before you created {{Carnivora}}. If the same sort of situation happens again, please let an administrator know so that the page can be deleted or simply add {{db-user}} to the page. Thanks, Pascal.Tesson 04:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Drawings

Hi, you are welcome to use my drawings on your website as long as proper attribution as requested by the license is provided (ex: Artwork by ArthurWeasley from Wikipedia). Cheers. ArthurWeasley 22:09, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! From User:4444hhhh

Smarters

You can upload your own images simply by going through the Wikipedia:Upload page. ArthurWeasley 05:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Thanks agian! From User:4444hhhh[reply]

Yep, just follow the link. Choose between the different possibilities (in the case of your personal drawings, should be under "my own work"). Select the file you want to upload and select the license of your choice. Hope this helps. ArthurWeasley 19:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, your image needs to be digitalized and saved into your computer in order to be uploaded onto a web page. A scanner would be good, may be you can ask people around you to use one. Another alternative is to take a digital picture of your drawing with a digital camera. ArthurWeasley 20:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 20:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Cyber Godzilla.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cyber Godzilla.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Bovid edits

Hi - I noticed your recent edits on various bovid pages.

Just thought I'd mention that it helps if you put some kind of explanation in the "Edit Summary" box. This makes it much easier to tell proper edits from vandalism (which rarely has anything in this box), and it also makes it easier to understand the reason for the edit. For example, when I saw a large unexplained edit in Bovinae (17:10, 6 November 2007), I very nearly reverted it as a malicious deletion. I could only work out what you were doing by spending some time looking at your user contributions.

Another tip is to use the "Show preview" button before deciding on your final edit. This avoids making many small public edits – it also saves space and clutter on other users' watchlists.--Richard New Forest 16:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Book

Yeah, may be but that's a lot of work. If someone's writing the text then I could provide the illustrations. ArthurWeasley 18:30, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coolness!

Thanks for creating Template:Equidae! I am adding a bit to it. There are actually HUNDREDS of horse articles out there in wikiland and the challenge will be keeping it under some kind of control once it gets "discovered." My question is if you have a wikilink to the page that discusses these templates and the guidelines for their use. I'd sort of like to add in some of the major Equestrianism articles, but not sure if that exceeds the scope. Montanabw^(talk) 15:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, I can't find the equivalent of a guideline for "how to use" guide for these animal tmeplates the way I can find them for WP:CITE for example...where did you go to figure out how to do the template in the first place?? And I'd like to read wiki's criteria for what to do and not to do (ideally) with these templates. And did you create it on your own, or were there some other people (who could get upset if I change things) who were in on the process of figuring out what to do, what to insert, etc...? The reason I ask is that I see some big templates like this one or this one and that is easily how big the equidae one could get if we got too crazy, but the whole horse area is so disorganized, so there's an argument that this wouldn't be a bad thing (and the categories are a TOTAL mess!)...oh, and by the way, there is a proposal to create a "Wikiproject Horses" out there, but only four people have signed up, we need more support (there's three horse wikiprojects on narrow areas, but no overall umbrella). Montanabw^(talk) 22:55, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and if you could be so kind, can you toss in a small edit summary like "adding template" when you do so? The horse articles get TONS of vandalism and edits with blank summaries sometimes get tossed by the bots as vandalism...which would be a bummer here. Montanabw^(talk) 23:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assorted answers

I like that you really have a lot of energy, but be careful not to reinvent the wheel. There happen to be several hundred horse articles on wikipedia, as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject horse breeds, Wikipedia:WikiProject horse training, Wikipedia:WikiProject Veterinary medicine (where there are MANY horse disease articles, some written by veterinarians), and Wikipedia:WikiProject Thoroughbred racing. So, the trick is not so much to create content but to organize what's there so that it can be found more easily, which is why I really like your template concept...if we can get that into more articles, it will help people navigate to others.

As for Wikiproject Equines, maybe go over to the page where things are being proposed and find the listing for the wikiproject horse proposal, and leave a message there that you created this. Personally, I have little interest in non-horse equines, but if this is where the energy is, it's worth a start. Also maybe leave a note at Wikipedia:WikiProject Agriculture and let them know what you have done...some egos may be bent out of shape, but none of them got off the dime and did it, so just be polite and respectful and maybe see what happens.

You wrote: <<<Oh, and one more thing is it wrong to call the Przewalski's Horse the Mongolian Tarpan and the Tarpan the Polish Tarpan and the wild horse Tarpan? Because I'm thinking writing a book on equids. --4444hhhh (talk) 00:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)4444hhhh>>>

It would be incorrect terminology to use any of those terms. Tarpans and Przewalski's horses were/are different subspecies, though there are outdated books that probably use those other terms. Read Przewalski's horse and Tarpan, they are reasonably decent articles. You may also want to read Domestication of the horse and wild horse. The only true "wild" horse today is the Przewalski's horse. Everything else is a feral horse. Hope this helps. Montanabw^(talk) 06:13, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

December 2007

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Equidae. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want. Jauerback (talk) 22:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, I reviewed the edit and you were not vandalizing, although the page Wild Asses now correctly redirects to Asinus, so the piped link is not necessary. I also wanted to welcome you again, and say how great it is to see another enthusiastic horse lover! I noticed you created the page Equines, (amazing it was not already created, isn't it?) and redirected it to Equines. While this does seem to be valid, Equine redirects to horse. Now, if we take a look at the rationale for redirects, they are done in way that directs a reader to the most likely result for their search term. Since the vast majority of readers searching for "Equine" (or the plural, "Equines") would be looking for the Horse article, they both should redirect there. At the top of Horse, there is a hatnote leading to the Horse (disambiguation) page, to which I have added a link to the family Equidae, for the few readers who wish to read about the taxonomic classification, instead. To that end, I went ahead and changed the redirect on Equines, to align with Equine, and the more likely search result. I realize that Wikipedia is pretty confusing at first, so feel free to ask me should you have any questions at all, and I'll be more than happy to help, or if I'm unable to, I will be able to point you to somewhere to get assistance. Thanks so much for diving in and helping, and I hope you are enjoying the project! Ariel♥Gold 12:13, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, this template is simply amazingly great work! Excellently done! Ariel♥Gold 12:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After Montanabw pointed out your how your edit was indeed an edit done in good faith, I intended on removing this warning entirely, however since there is already another comment about it, I guess it should stay for context purposes. I did strike it out, though, because I don't want you to feel like that you did anything wrong. I apologize for any misconceptions on my part. Happy editing. Jauerback (talk) 14:23, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On my part, thanks for setting me straight on the gender thing. Usually I can guess gender by writing style (ArielGold is a "she" I'm pretty sure... (grin)) but I do miscalculate sometimes. Either way, keep in mind that those who care about taxonomy and genetics care deeply and so I usually do not mess with taxonomy unless I can cite to peer-reviewed literature. Call me overcautious, but oh how I HATE reverting things other people mess up in the areas where I have expertise...I just try not to do too much damage in areas where I don't know a lot!! Montanabw^(talk) 03:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pets and wild things

You wrote: "I usually consider pets as a supspecies of their wild ancestors."

As a general rule, most domesticated animals do get listed as different subspecies. What is weird in the equine world is that, other than Przewalski's horse and the nonw-extinct Tarpan, there are no "wild" horses; any wild horses are feral horses. If you look at those domestication and evolution articles, you will note that the "four foundations" theory suggests that the wild prototypes of the modern horse (whether one of four) may have been a totally different subspecies that so totally lent itself to domestication that all wild predecessors simply ceased to exist. Stephen Budiasky theorized that domestication may have saved the horse in Eurasia from the extinction it faced in the Americas at the end of the last Ice Age.

The taxonomy of the wild species is hotly debated, as you might note from the page history there and at wild horse. The short version is that some people claim there is such a thing as equus ferus and others consider ferus a subspecies of Equus caballus. I wonder if that's why Onagers and other wild asses are classed with Donkeys as Equus Asinus, I note that the wild ones are given an additional subspecies classification.

Anyway, it's all fascinating and though you'd be interested. User:Dysmorodrepanis seems to know something of how this taxonomy stuff all works, may be able to help figure it all out. Montanabw^(talk) 18:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zebra

Hello, since your a memeber of WikiProject Equines I was wondering if you can help.

I've been expanding and cleaning up the Zebra article. I was wondering if you think the Ecology and Behavior section is representive of all the zebra species' lifestyles. I noted the difference between the Grevy zebra and the other two zebra's behavior but are their differences between the Mountain and Plains zebras that should be noted or put into their repective articles? Also there are some behaviors I attributed to the Plains zebra and I don't know if it would describe the other two as well.

Thank you

Squamates

You asked me to address any problems I have with your recent edits to Squamata here on your talk page. I'm really happy someone has taken an interest in the page, so first I just want to thank you for your contributions. I'm willing to copy edit your contributions, but I think it's really important to include sources. It makes it much easier for me to copy edit text when I can read the text the facts come from, and even if I can't get the source, having a source gives me the confidence that the language is worth refining. - Enuja (talk) 06:05, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whenever adding new information to an article, even if that information is in another article, please cite the source the information comes from. WP:Foot and WP:Cite may be useful to you, and if information is, indeed, from another article, it should be very easy to read and then copy and paste the appropriate wiki formatting to the new article. Instead of finding new sources this time, I just copy edited the sections. If no-one finds sources for the information, I will (eventually) remove it. - Enuja (talk) 20:22, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a suggestion. Would you mind proposing new language for the article on the talk page instead of editing the article directly? Your enthusiasm and willingness to do work to improve the article is improving it greatly, but all pages on Wikipedia are live. That is, anyone reading Squamate gets to read whatever you've put on the page. Unfortunately, much of your grammar, sentence structure and spelling in the article has serious problems. The ideal, of course, is to have elegant prose, but I think we really must require coherent prose, and I'm afraid your additions are often very hard to understand. If you could have friend proof-read your prose before you post it to the article, or if you could read it out loud and refine it several times before you post it, maybe then it would make sense to edit the article directly. If, however, the type of language you've been adding to the article is the best you can do, it really needs to be edited by other people before it should in the article. - Enuja (talk) 15:56, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scale charts

Hi 4444hhhh! I do the scale charts in Photoshop, using a layered graph template I made a while back. For each new chart, I just make a 'stencil' of the subject and drop it into the pre-existing graph, changing the key etc. That's why it may be difficult to do the charts you requested very quickly, as it might be tough to find good source material for the stencils. But I'll see what I can do! Dinoguy2 (talk) 00:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Wws.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wws.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

Speedy deletion of Image:Godzilla History.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Godzilla History.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Godzilla History.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Image source problem with Image:Capezebra.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Capezebra.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:23, 6 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:23, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Birds of prey

Hi. Do you have any new reference that has elevated Accipitridae ? The most recent molecular classifications place them as a family within the Falconiformes. Shyamal (talk) 02:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, It seems like the recent placement of the falcons next to the parrots is the cause of the reorganization. I thought it was only the Cathartidae that were the big problem. It may be good to discuss this on WT:BIRD, because it may mean a whole cluster of articles need to be reorganized so as not to have parts inconsistent. Shyamal (talk) 03:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More changes to bird families

Hi. I thought the way most people felt at [[]] was that we shouldn't make big taxonomic changes without discussing them first, and in general we should wait for the ornithological unions and associations. So I think your changing to the Ciconiiformes were premature.

I don't know whether you know the history. The tradition in systematics is to present one's beliefs as the truth; that doesn't mean other biologists accept the arrangements, much less that the arrangements are right. The journals are littered with outdated classification systems, and Hackett et al. is going to be another one. Undoubtedly some of its suggestions are right, but we don't yet know which ones.

In the past few decades, many placements have been made by the American Ornithologists' Union, for instance, only to be reversed some years later. If even they jump the gun on these things, I think we should not react more quickly than they do.

If there's a consensus on changes, we can probably get a bot to do a lot of them. This includes changing the Falconidae and Ciconiiformes back. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 06:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:TT22.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:TT22.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Page titles

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Cariamae a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Cariamiformes. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Northern kiang

The article Northern kiang has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not an accepted sub species

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. slakr^\ talk / 13:15, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring report closed

Please see the result of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:4444hhhh reported by User:Besieged (Result: No action). Your removal of the article tags does raise concerns. Since you are an experienced editor, you should not be at a loss for what to do in this situation. WP:Dispute resolution gives you some options. You are expected to persuade others and not simply revert. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 15:54, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fringe theories

Hi, Chatterjee's theories are regarded as fringe by most researchers, so do not add them as fact. FunkMonk (talk) 20:32, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please note Chatterjee included only Microraptor, not all of Microraptoria, in this group. Chatterjee did not perform any kind of phylogenetic analysis to support Tetrapterygidae, he placed them together by visual similarity and slotted them not a pre-existing analysis, so it is not a real cladogram. Also, if Chatterjee is right and all four-winged species form a clad,e this would actually REFUTE Bebe's tetrapteryx hypothesis, because if tetrapterygids are a sister clade to birds, they are probably not ancestral to them, but a side branch. The traditional view, with various four winged forms scattered among other groups, would support the idea that flight passed through a four-winged stage, because it implies the ancestral bird must also have had four wings. Lastly, "Tetrapterygidae" is an invalid name for a family because it does not contain a genus named Tetrapteryx, he correct name for this group would be Microraptoridae, which would have precedence anyway.

Hello 4444hhhh, I'm writing to you because yuor nmae is in the list of the "WikiProject Dogs" and you're one of the last still active. There's a discussion you might be interested in, here.

Thank you in advance if you decide to join (there have been just 3 users replying so far, each one independently from the others, so there's no need to read the whole discussion but just my first message and the source included, and possibly reply on the base of that). 151.64.164.50 (talk) 10:49, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Pachypanthera

On 8 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pachypanthera, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the early big cat Pachypanthera may have weighed as much as 142 kilograms (313 lb) and had teeth similar to a hyena's? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pachypanthera. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Pachypanthera), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
