Image permission problem with Image:Pink-katydid.jpg

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Pink-katydid.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media 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 GFDL 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-en@wikimedia.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 image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.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 image'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. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Please stop

Please stop uploading images from Google Images or other web sources and claiming they fall under the GFDL. Unless the creator of the image has given his/her permission for a release under a compatible license, he/she still retains the copyright to the image, and thus we cannot host the image on Wikipedia. Several of your recent uploads have had the same issue. In the future, please make sure to upload work that is either 100% your own creation, or work which you have permission to post. Thank you.

Spinosaurus reconstruction

Hello, Buggoy52.40;

I used the <!-- --> elements to hide the Spinosaurus reconstruction for the time being. There are some issues with it, such as the thin upper arm bones, the size of the ilium and the shape of the pubis, how the lower jaw articulates with the skull, the vertebral spines not matching the outline of the body, and so on. Compare with this illustration of the known material of several spinosaurids. While I personally don't think that there is enough known of Spinosaurus to warrant making a skeletal reconstruction that is not mostly based on scaled-up Baryonyx and Suchomimus, I suggest that you take this image to Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/Image review for a second opinion. Thank you for your time! J. Spencer (talk) 18:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

your name in IPA

Hey,

One hint about the IPA. The stress marks work like they do in Webster's dictionary, before the syllable, not afterwards like in American Heritage. So Bugboy would be [ˈbʌɡbɔɪ]. (Also, using the correct mark for stress, like here, rather than an apostrophe may strike people as better esthetically.) kwami (talk) 21:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed for ref for move

Hi Mr 52.40
I recently started two insect pages here and here, but used their binomial names instead of their common names, which it appears is the consensus for naming ento articles. When I move the pages, I want to cite some [[WP:Policy]] for this. I've searched all over the place, but can't find anything. Could you possibly help me with this?
Thank you!--Shirt58 (talk) 12:24, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sometime during my pupation, I realised that you actually have to be able to do basic math to be a life scientist... numerous exoskeleton moults later, and despite being completely bored by ichthyology, I've somehow ended up a land-based sp of superorder Selachimorpha, but that's another story.

Harvest mite

Wondering if you would be interested in helping out with the Harvest mite article. It currently references several different species and needs some work to take it up to encyclopedia standard!--Gak (talk) 13:03, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the main problem is a lack of references. I think the main problem is that it mixes up lots of different species into the same article. I am an infectious diseases specialist, and I arrived at the article from work I am doing on the Scrub typhus article, but arthropods is outside my area of expertise. Thanks in advance! Gak (talk) 15:14, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for all your work so far! I think the main error is the assertion that mites of the genus Trombicula are vectors of scrub typhus (Orientia tsutsugamushi): It is only mites of the genus Leptotrombidium that transmit scrub typhus. I think that looking at the direction of the current article, it is really talking about Trombicula only, and Leptotrombidium really needs its own article. What do you think? --Gak (talk) 10:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you'll find a reference stating that scrub typhus is NOT transmitted by mites of genus Trombicula. I'm not being flippant: it's like you won't find an article stating that malaria is NOT transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. Negative information just doesn't get published. All I can tell you is that you won't find an article on Trombicula + Orientia tsutsugamushi' (old name Rickettsia tsutsugamushi). Gak (talk) 16:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bugboy,

I too am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and would like to extend my greetings to you. Tell me, how many other Witnesses frequent Wikipedia (that you know of)? It seems to me like a whole lot. ZackTuren (talk) 04:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Signed your autograph book. Not sure if that's what you're supposed to do on those pages, however. I'm a complete WikiN00b. Speaking of which, I was wondering if (considering your amazing UserPage) if you could help me set one up. ZackTuren (talk) 16:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I've been on Wikipedia longer, however I never took the time to really go in-depth and dive into it. Haha, most of the editing stuff used on Wiki has gone completely over my head. But anyways, I mainly just want a simple setup on my page, much like TenPoundHammer's page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TenPoundHammer
You sir, are a god. Thanks! I'll fiddle around with it a bit (not right now, it's a bit late here xD), but thank you very much. I need to get Wikipedia for Dummies. Also, I seem to be having a problem getting my userboxes on the right side of the screen, as opposed to just being... jumbled.

Mighty mites

This is the first time someone's consulted me on this topic. I have to say I'm very pleased to be able to render assistance! Anyway, while I don't have the full article, IngentaConnect has an article titled The Life Cycle of the Scrub Typhus Chigger Mite, Trombicula akamushi, which would seem to dispute that genus Trombicula doesn't carry scrub typhus. But the title alone isn't very illuminating. This page also seems to indicate T. akamushi is a vector for scrub typhus, but I can't attest to the page's reliability necessarily. T. deliense does as well, but apparently was renamed into genus Leptotrombidium, as this Center for Disease Control page indicates. However, the page does explicitly state that Orientia tsutsugamushi, the cause of scrub typhus, is carried by trombiculid mites. This abstract on Tsutsugamushi Disease (Scrub or Mite-Borne Typhus) in the Philippine Islands also names deliensis (referring to it as a Trombicula) and T. akamushi as being found on rats bearing Rickettsia orientalis. This would seem to indicate, unless there is newer data than what I've found that contradicts it, that members of genus Trombicula can indeed carry O. tsutsugamushi and thus transmit scrub typhus. You might submit this to the folks you were conversing with and see if perhaps their data is newer or explicitly contradicts this. Please get back to me with any further questions! - Vianello (talk) 22:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination

Hello, again, I want to nominate the article I created, Trombiculidae but I do not know how, or if it completely meets the criteria for GA status(it is currently of B status). Buɡboy52.4 (talk) 16:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Reply on my talk page so I know when you reply, thanks in advance, again.

The "how" part is easy; there are full instructions at WP:GAN and WP:GNGA. The article will, however, need a degree of improvement before it's ready, I feel. I don't think the criteria have changed much since the last time I steered something through the GA process. The important point is to re-read through everything carefully, from the point of view of a new reader (which is always hard, if you've written the article yourself). There are a number of points I can see which will need redressing:
  1. The taxobox seems to indicate that the article is about a genus, rather than the family.
  2. The article effectively has two lead sections, one at the beginning, and a second one at the start of "Chiggers".
  3. The list of genera is too prominent, especially given the number of red links. It should be moved to the taxobox or split into columns or at the very least moved further down the article. Taxonomy and nomenclature are not usually the prime concern of the readers of an encyclopaedia.
  4. Many statements, including many important facts, are not obviously referenced. You will need to make sure that every major point has an in-line citation, which can include citing the same source(s) several times, but each fact should ideally have an indication of where it comes from.
  5. Finally, it's as well to make sure that the formatting matches the Manual of Style. If it deviates from that at all, you can guarantee that someone will pick up on it sooner or later. In a similar vein, check that all genera and species are in italics, and that no higher ranks are.
This may seem like a big list, and I expect other unexpected problems will crop up, but don't be disheartened. It's quite satisfying seeing your work recognised as being of high quality, and the whole encyclopaedia benefits from having well-formed and informative articles. If you ever want me to give the article the once over, just let me know. --Stemonitis (talk) 22:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Gothic

There's some good links in the External links section of the Gothic language article, including this one which has a bunch of lessons, and the University of Texas has some rather intimidating linguistic summaries of the language here. Other than that, it's just like any other language, pick up a book on it or get lessons, not much more to do (the Internet doesn't work and you know it :) ). I personally have no knowledge of it, bar a very rudimentary understanding of the writing system. If you could help over at the Gothic Wikipedia, that'd be great, they need all the help they can get. So, ganbare! (Wrong language, I know. But you get the picture.) +Hexagon1 (t) 04:54, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I can't just pull that kind of information out of my arse, so I'd personally suggest you ask around at the Gothic Wikipedia, if there isn't a consensus on how to implement scientific naming already, I am confident they would appreciate the discussion. You have to realise that kind of information may be hard to find on the Internet, and you may have to follow the lead of the Latin Wikipedia in coining some neologisms as a community. +Hexagon1 (t) 02:19, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure you should be making any neologisms up yourself, or maybe, if you do, make sure to note that on the talk or something. One of the admins – got:User:Jacques Pirat – appears to have some substantial edits, as do got:User:Yadönapya and got:User:Manie.

Sorry it took me a little bit!

I have taken the liberty of adding the the Wikiproject animals banner to the talk pages of all the pages you just created. If you want me to do this for any future articles you create, just send me a list of them. LetsdrinkTea 23:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copy the value in the edittoken field (in this case it would be 3cf93e27e31d2bffa2afce0be386fcba+\ ) This changes each time you log in so remember to update it LetsdrinkTea 02:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also, if you want to make it edit pages faster, find the line that says if (x<targets.length) { setTimeout("hit()", 5000); }

and edit the number to the number of milliseconds to wait before each successive edit. To make it edit once every 1 second, you would say if (x<targets.length) { setTimeout("hit()", 1000); } However, you might trigger an abuse filter if you go too fast LetsdrinkTea 01:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sigara species

Hello Bugboy, just to let you know, the Sigara species you created all state that they belong to the "Mantodea" order, which is not correct it seems, because the taxobox states something else. Furthermore, there is a "see also" section which refers to a list with mantis species, which seems to not belong on these pages. Just thought I would let you know.

Latin pron.

Hey Bugboy,

I don't know from your question (which I answered on my page) whether you just had a problem with Trombiculidae, because the dictionaries contradicted each other, or if it was a more general question of Latin pronunciation. If the latter, you'll find everything you want to know (and then some) at Traditional English pronunciation of Latin. A lot of biologists will disagree with that description, however, since different schools have their own conventions for pronouncing Latin. But if you supply the reader with the original Latin, including macrons on long vowels, then people who don't like the traditional English literary conventions can go from there, since the essential point is where to place the stress, and that depends on Latin vowel length. Or you can figure out where the stress goes yourself, and just say, stressed as Trombicúlidae or some such. kwami (talk) 00:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see from your user page that you have a basic level of Latin, so hopefully you have access to a halfway decent dictionary. kwami (talk) 01:01, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

How do you make pages so fast?? Leaf shaped ant (talk) 16:55, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where do you get a Javascript from? Leaf shaped ant (talk) 16:59, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Its excellent actually having another content builder on board. Maybe soon you'll oust me into third position with number of edits? I've created around 50,000 articles, at your rate you should pass this if you keep it up! Ther eis a huge amount missing, just look at all the nature articles and content missing from other wikis! Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:02, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OMG you just broke the record for number of pages created in a minute. You create an astounding 55 pages in one minute. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:04, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've never seen so many pages created so quickly. It would be of great benefit if you could help get articles on species and genera onto here en masse. Thats the best way to get things up and running provided there is a reference. Problem is though oftne if you create more than 10 articles a minute you may need permission and approval. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow really? There are thousands of articles missing from various species databases. Best way to get them onto here is my automated tools using a script as you are. Scout around various articles on plants and insects, theres usually many red links. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:10, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ask User:Proteins who I believe is interested in running a species bot whether he can point you to some missing article lists or nature databases. Your script would be very useful for starting them. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:15, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that would be great. You can also ask any of the active project members of the various biology projects if they have banks of missing lists and a source. For instance Wikipedia:WikiProject Lepidoptera etc. There are many databases like this from which missing lists can also be obtained. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:25, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Check out out User:Skysmith/Missing topics about Animals and have a browse through all the hundreds of missing lists we have under all the sub pages of Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles on a massive range of topics, whatever takes your fancy. I'd imagine you'll find an enormous number of lists that can be started using the same source. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:40, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've passed your message onto User talk:Skysmith too as he works in the missing articles project. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:46, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Taxobox formatting

Hi there. You have recently created an impressive number of new species pages, such as Macroglossum vidua, presumably using a script. They all look mostly fine to me, but I noticed that the taxobox formatting seems a bit off compared to the usual practice, as documented at WP:TX. For taxoboxes summarizing individual species, the "species = " parameter normally only contains the abbreviated genus and specific epithet (M. vidua), while the full binomial name (Macroglossum vidua) goes in the "binomial = " parameter. Additionally, though the visual appearance is the same, you probably should use ''' to put text in bold, rather than a wikilink to the article itself. It would be great of you could tweak the script before creating the next batch of articles, or possibly even redo some of those you did earlier and that haven't been edited in the meantime. Thanks, Hqb (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really? It shouldn't be that big a change, and it seems like a shame to create large numbers of knowingly misformatted pages. Hqb (talk) 18:03, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I did say "misformatted", not "misinforming". Sure, it's not directly wrong, but we do have a Manual of Style and various project-specific style guidelines, precisely so that articles are not only factually correct, but also appear as uniform and consistent as reasonably possible. Note that, in any case, you should probably not be doing any large-scale automated page creation without obtaining explicit prior approval, per WP:Bot policy. Hqb (talk) 18:20, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bot edits

Hi -- the speed of your edits indicates that you're making them using a bot, but there's no indication that you've requested or received permission to work that way. Are you aware of Wikipedia:Bot_policy? I don't see anything harmful about the edits, but experience says that great care must be taken with these things. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 18:21, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. I'm not an expert on this stuff, but I do know that if you use software agents to edit articles you absolutely must read and follow the instructions I pointed at (WP:Bot policy). There have been countless cases of people with excellent intentions causing disasters by using malfunctioning bots. And by the way, you may wish to chip in at WP:ANI#Flooding edits, which brought this to my attention. (I'm not an admin, just to be completely clear.) Regards, Looie496 (talk) 18:34, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The main problem is that the articles have to be patrolled by editors. If you were listed on the white list of editors then the JV Bot would automatically mark them as patrolled. You shouldn't have any problems but as you can see people get alarmed when you create articles at a fast rate. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC) Personally the faster the better in my own view but you will need permission to do so and get your articles marked as auto patrolled. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:41, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ask User:Jayvdb and tell him what you are doing and intend to do and ask if you can go on the white list of auto-patrolled editors. He is also a member of the missing articles project and you also might want to ask him about missing lists of species you can work through too. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Your script looks like it would be very useful. If you have a faster/bot-rate script that you'd like to run, I would suggest applying for approval through Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval. In the mean time, there's one more fix needed to the pages you created: the species name should be in abbreviated form (H. sapiens) as per WP:TX. I'll start at the most recent and work backward. If you want to help, maybe start at the oldest and work forward. Thanks for the new articles. Sancho 18:48, 12 April 2009 (UTC) Yeah contact both of them, eventually you should get approval for both. If you have prior approval from BAG and your articles are flagged as patrolled then you should be able to create a high rate of articles per minute. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:50, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, wow, wow, I am being told to do a lot of things, but before I could do them, i go to go to my meeting, and I'll be back like in 2 hours, KK? Buɡboy52.4 (talk) 18:56, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ask User:MBisanz to help you set something up. Dr. Blofeld White cat 22:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Making a bot

Yes, you will need to register a new about, something like BugBot would probably work well. The fill out parts I - IV of Wikipedia:BRFA and someone will review your bot and decide whether or not to approve. It looks like you've already run the task, so it should be easy to approve it as well functioning. MBisanz talk 23:02, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it looks like that account is already registered, maybe something like User:BugBot52.40? MBisanz talk 23:21, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you are clicking to confirm each edit, it is manual, if it auto-clicks each edit, it is automated. MBisanz talk 23:32, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that would be automated. MBisanz talk 23:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is a flag that designates an edit as being made by an automated function so that people who review edits can skip reviewing it. MBisanz talk 23:40, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Someone will review your request at WP:BRFA and decide whether or not to grant it. MBisanz talk 23:43, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You need to follow the instructions on WP:BRFA, it should not be listed on my talk page. MBisanz talk 00:04, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it looks ok. MBisanz talk 00:06, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ask MBisanz. My feeling is that it will need community approval even if not technically a bot. Dr. Blofeld White cat 08:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC) User talk:Proteins has replied. Dr. Blofeld White cat 22:38, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Hello

Hi Nicholas! How can I help you? JavaScript is a very light procedural and object oriented programming language with a very simple syntax similar to C++ mixed with Java or vice versa. As you know, it is the default scripting language for the Internet, because its engine can be embedded in web browsers (Client-side), in a web server (Server-side), and, practically, elsewhere. You don't need to be a programmer to use JavaScript. Check out the following doc at the mozzilla developer center:

Your series of articles

Hi Bugboy - I'm afraid that your "prototype" in your series of articles has a typo: "fuit flies" vs. "fruit flies". Jamie☆S93 01:51, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I hope you get it sorted out. :) Jamie☆S93 01:56, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks alright (it's just editing your own articles, and the changes look to be valid), although the script created quite a few pages in the process, too, such as this: with the edit summary "typo". Jamie☆S93 02:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, okay. If you could figure out its pattern maybe, that'd be good. I can always lend a hand if you end up just doing some of the work manually. :) Best, Jamie☆S93 02:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For all the Bug Pages you made! Yourname (talk) 02:12, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Several of your April 24 new pages

Hi Bugboy52.40. A friendly note to let you know that several of your new pages include an unlabeled external reference that's not directly relevant. Have a look at [1] in Cephalophysa, for example. This resolves to http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt, which is a search page. (I wonder whether you intend for this link to resolve to the result of a search for the term that's the article's title.) Anyway, I just wanted to bring this to your attention. This problem applies to all of the pages I checked, which makes me think it's pervasive among your new pages today.

A secondary comment, if you don't mind: these external references would be a little more useful if, in addition to the link, you included in the single-brackets the nature of the reference. Having a reference list entry reading [1] (arrow) with no text requires that I mouse-over the link, look at the URL, and guess to what it's intended to refer. Anyway, thought you'd like to know.

Latin names

The reason for the page (wiktionary:User:Pengo/Latin) is that I get frustrated with not knowing what any of the scientific names of species mean. So I got all the names of all the species (or at least the ones that IUCN red list lists), and ranked the species part of names in order of how common they were. The idea was that others could then see what words they could create dictionary entries for first to make the most impact. Unfortunately it never really took off, and even common ones like "rufescens" still have no translation. —Pengo 02:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC) [And I still don't know what rufescens means.][reply]

Sorry I haven't the foggiest clue about the etymology of Trombiculidae. —Pengo 01:31, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Userpages

I removed that comment from your userpage because, well, it seemed to me that it reflected a fundamental philosophical misconception. And I was being bold.

Incidentally, this is what you wanted to see, yes? DS (talk) 02:56, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Easier question first: there's no connection between (my editing your userpage) and (my adding you to the whitelist), but I saw that you were interested in being on the whitelist and I thought you'd be pleased to know about it. Secondly... I'm not totally sure I remember, honestly; I think it's because it seemed reminiscent of vitalism. Life and nonlife both obey the laws of physics, there's no 'defying gravity' or anything like that. We make a tidy little living in the backwaters of universal-scale entropic decay, but Keynes is still right: in the long run, we're all dead. DS (talk) 14:26, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well. I've looked again, and... well, your original statement about "proactive" was sort of abstruse. My best guess as to what you meant was something about how is it that life can move, can do things rather than just be... but the thing is, we KNOW how these things are possible. It's because we get energy from one external source or another, almost all of which are ultimately derived from the Sun; the question of how precisely this works is a deep one, yes, but it's essentially "the difference between life and nonlife" all over again - and less clearly phrased. The Sun's energy is produced from what is, ultimately, entropic decay; there's always energy lost. Our lives, our civilization, species, our entire biosphere... all powered by the scraps of energy that escape the sun as it entropically fuses. In the long run, the sun will go out and the radioactive deposits that heat the earth's core will decay into inertness... but then, as John Maynard Keynes said about whether anything is sustainable in the long run: "in the long run, we are all dead". D'you have a better idea now? DS (talk) 14:57, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We appreciate the gesture but edit count is not seen as important by many on here. One editor for instance could make 100,000 edits with just minor fixes and reverts using AWB and not really add any content while another with 30,000 edits could be one of our best FA producers for example.

Re: Signature

Well, when watching your guest book, there´s a link that says: "I want new messages", and it leads to this page: User:Bugboy52.40/Autograph Book (already with the edition mode), and there is just the signature of another dude (who probably was in the same situation as me), and nobody else, I sign there anyway, but my signature didn´t appear with the others, so I then used the other link next to the "i want messages" one that says: "sign below", but it just leads to a page that says: "No such section" [1]. In there there is some kind of redirection to an autograph page, but it´s the first one I reached before, the one with just one guy and me (only two signatures that doesn´t appear anywhere). So that´s why it took me like 3 minutes....By the way, what is "guady"? - ☩Damërung ☩. -- {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)

Insects

I think the original reviewer is off their mark concerning cite web being necessary for GA. I just rechecked the wikipedia GA standards, and that's FA criteria, not GA. Either way, all your references need to be cited in a similar manner, and right now you've cited inline references in at least 3 different ways. Bare references (only hyperlinks with no explanation as to who the article, publisher, etcetera are) are supposed to be avoided. I added a couple lines from the prevailing winds article, also currently under GA review, which related to insects/arthropods. At the very least, I'd suggest using that style of referencing, which is similar in style to that which already exists in some of the insect article's references. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you're intending on taking this article to FA soon anyway, then cite web would make sense. For a format that is supposed to be more user-friendly with its inputs, it takes up a lot of code so I completely avoid cite web, except when submitting an article for FA, which I've only done twice so far.

I started to help, but then found a serious error with reference 56. Check all your references and make sure no more wikipedia articles, or mirrored wikipedia articles on other websites, are used as references within this article.

Re: Further reading

I think we have a misunderstanding. I'm adding the references I'm going to use in the article to the further reading section as a placeholder. As I expand the article, I move the reference inline. I do this with every article I write, and there is nothing wrong with doing it this way. From what I can tell, you figured this out and used the references inline. So, that's a good thing.

It looks like most of the current text was copied from [2]. I will try to rewrite what I can, but we need to write it in our own words and cite the sources correctly. Copying text wholesale is discouraged. The further reading section allows you to quickly find the sources, and if you have access to them, use them. If you need me to send you any, let me know.

GAN

I wasn't saying that the article needed to be fixed overnight, if you can do it in a few days, that's fine. It's just that I think to reformat most of the refs, replace the many that are not to reliable sources, and find refs for the bits that don't have a ref (eg first two paras of "larva") may take more time than is reasonable. If it can't be done within a few days, then the article was too far from GA on the refs alone. Good luck jimfbleak (talk)

Insect GAN crisis

Whoa, whoa, calm down. Take a deep breath... now let it out sloooooooowly. Think about kittens. I've seen editors go mad with panic over these situations and don't let that happen to you.

The situation a la refs is as follows:

  • 1. All the refs for the article Insect have been finished and formatted correctly.
  • 2. User:Thegreatdr discovered that ref #56 in the article Insect was a mirror of Wikipedia and therefore unacceptable.
    I removed the offending ref. If it turns out another reference is a mirror of Wikipedia, the article could be failed the nomination.

We need to make sure that none of the other cited websites are mirrors like ref 56. The way to do this is to take each ref, decide what subject it primarily deals with (for example: insect flight) and compare the ref with that subject's article on Wikipedia. If the two are similar, we delete the ref. a little insignificant 01:54, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bonellia

Did you know Bonellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 is now Linnaemya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (subgenus Linnaemya, to be precise), as it is a junior homonym of Bonellia Rolando, [1822] (e.g. Bonellia viridis).

To see whether a genus name is preoccupied, Nomenclator Zoologicus. In this case, I would cite it as: * {{aut|uBio}} (2005): ''Digital Nomenclator Zoologicus'', version 0.86 '''1''': 450. [http://www.ubio.org/NZ/PDF/Vol1/pg0450.pdf PDF fulltext] You will get the volume and : page numbers as well as the links to the PDF on the results page, after you search for a genus name. Nomenclator is almost completely reliable up to 2005 (less than one name in 100 has wrong information, as far as I have used it).

I also advise you very strongly against using ITIS as taxonomic mainstay. Much of it is an unreviewed heap of decade-old data, and the parts that are up to date are hardly ever complete (much is North American taxa only). Systematics is also unreliable, typically half a century old.

nomen.at is also not reliable, and Encyclopedia of Life is still too bad for en:Wikipedia (they simply kludged together ITIS and some other unreliable sources). There are a few good databases around, but mainly for vertebrates; I know none for Diptera. :(((

But there is hope; what you want is something like this, specifically this (be patient, their connection seems bad). ToLweb I found also a quite reliable source, there is little content on Tachinidae but the literature referenced may be accessible to you.

I usually use ITIS as a source of last resort, and remove it entirely as soon as I have something better (which is basically anything). ITIS shoud NEVER EVER be inserted en masse by a bot. I am serious about that. People who know nothing of the article's topic will use it as point of reference, and as it looks so "authoritative" they'll believe it's the real deal. It is not; it is the Weekly World News of taxonomy.

But don't let this drag you down - it took me much years to learn what database is good and what's crap. Thanks for your work anyway! Having taxon articles instead of redlinks is always good ;-)

monobook.js

Hey. The monobook.js file is a Javascript page that is attached to your user account (yours would be at User:Bugboy52.40/monobook.js). Javascript code that you put here will be executed whenever you view a page. Javascript is a client-side scripting language that lets web pages do interactive things.

If you don't know how to use Javascript, that's fine - most people don't. Instead, you can add other people's scripts and tools to your page, and gain whatever functionality the tool offers. You can find more information about user scripts at Wikipedia:User scripts. Hope that helps! If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page.

You would have probably found, though, that you didn't see much difference - a number of my scripts are for administrators only and have no effect for non-sysops.

Tachinidae

It might be possible to create such pages in your sandbox first, perhaps in batches, and delete those that are not good (or flag those that are good), and then mv them to the article space.

Somebody did the articles of List of noctuid genera and List of lycaenid genera and List of geometrid genera as unreviewed bot-runs long ago. But IONO whether it was a good thing; the list was fuill of now-invalid names.

It is probably better compile a reliable list, then run the bot over this. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 22:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tachinidae

Hi. I don't think there is any hope of a website that simply gives a list of tachinids; that's not the sort of thing people could do casually in their spare time, and with the existence of the BDWD, it would be redundant. The problem with using the BDWD to generate a list is that it has ALL tachinid genera names in history (including fossils), not just those that are presently recognized and living taxa. The Nomenclator there, as of today, seems to be down - but if there is a filter for searching that allows you to eliminate outdated names and fossils, then you might be able to generate a list once the Nomenclator is up and running again. Hope this helps, Dyanega (talk) 15:42, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The BDWD Nomenclator is the database of all existing fly names, at [5]. There are 21,241 entries for Tachinidae. I seriously doubt you have time to look at all 21,241 names to check which ones are outdated, but that is on fact your only option should you wish to pursue the project: there is no short cut to obtaining a list of tachinid names using this master list of fly names, since there is no filter to remove outdated ones, and those should NOT be given in any list you might compile for Wikipedia. ITIS, as far as I'm aware, lists only North American tachinids. The "nomen.at" site displays only 200 genera between the letters G and M in the alphabet; in order to see other names, you have to know them already and type them into the search. There are some projects that are just too big for one person to tackle - if it could have been done, it would have been done already by someone else. Dyanega ([
