Moving fish related articles

Hi, can you please add reasoning to the relevant talk pages for moving articles to use the fish's common names, as per WikiProject Fishes guidelines? Kat (talk) 11:43, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thank You for the message! At this time I have no idea what should be necessary to add. The guidelines look very logical. But if I will have any idea, I will add it! Yours --Ykvach (talk) 13:08, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, maybe some reference supporting the common name as being very common or no other ones being used? To be honest, I'm not sure what would qualify either, unless there really are multiple common names being used for one species, but that would work to support not moving the article. I think even a "moved in accordance with WikiProject Fishes guidelines" might be better than nothing. Kat (talk) 13:36, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sometime it is difficult to find the original reference to common name. But, we can use the rule, which is accepted by scientific journals, to use the vernacular names according to FishBase, www.fishbase.org (or any mirror). If the FishBase has no data about the verancular name of the fish, please use the scientific name, or add the reference (because in some cases the FishBase has not the full data about some species!). Would it be OK to add as a rule for Wiki? --Ykvach (talk) 13:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, whatever is currently used in scientific journals works well. Actually, FishBase uses a lot of uncommon names as common names, especially for the aquarium fish (I am a fish keeper and FishBase is my favourite species reference, so I use it often). There was a discussion about this in the WikiPriject Fishes archive. This is one of the reasons I personally support use of scientific names for species pages: common names are different in various parts of the world and change over short periods of time, while scientific names are the same everywhere. Kat (talk) 14:46, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You said below that FishBase uses the common names used in scientific papers, if this is the case, then I have to go back on what I said previously because many of these names are only common for a very small number of people! Kat (talk) 13:15, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, scientific papers uses the names from FishBase. Ykvach (talk) 15:12, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless, to me this means that the common names used in scientific papers are not suitable as they are not actually common, as the names on FishBase (in my experience of tropical aquarium fish) are often not commonly used. Kat (talk) 06:27, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You recently moved Scorpaena papillosa to Red rock cod. There are nearly a dozen other common names for this fish. You also moved Red scorpionfish. This species has a very wide distribution, and so likely has other common names.

I much prefer the scientific name for the reason KittyKat states. If you have numerous sources showing a certain common name is predominantly used, fine. Otherwise, please avoid such moves. I intend on changing the above two back. Thank you for your understanding. Cheers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:30, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo! I have moved these articles about scorpionfishes to vernaculare names according the rules of Wiki. As mentioned: Use the common name for any species that satisfies at least one of the following criteria: 1(i) The species has a single common name that is widely used and never used for any other species. While the species in question may have additional common names, those names are rarely used. Example: Greenland halibut. FishBase uses one vernacular name, which is most commonly used in scientific literature. Actually, in ichthiological scientific publication one of the rule is to use the vernacular and scientific names of fishes according to FishBase. My opionion is in the mentioned cases better to use vernacular names. --Ykvach (talk) 07:42, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I see. According to the rules of Wiki, you shouldn't have moved them in the first place. The reason is that Scorpaena cardinalis and Pseudophycis bachus are also called the red rock cod.[1][2] Plus, Eastern Red Scorpionfish, is another name for Scorpaena cardinalis. Also, Scorpaena notata is also regionally called red scorpionfish. Actually, I would guess that lots of species are called red scorpionfish. So, I really think renaming such articles to red rock cod and Red Scorpionfish will cause confusion. Are you confused now? I am. Scientific names avoid all that. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:47, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Anna! Yes, I agree with you in the case of Scorpaena papillosa. This species has a lot of English names, and the name used in FishBase, red rock cod, also used for the other scorpionfishes. Scorpaena papillosa lives in Australia, I have never seen it, and I cannot discuss about what name is most common for this species. But I disagree about Scorpaena scrofa. This species is common in European waters, and good known as Red scorpionfish. Another name, Large-scaled scorpion fish, I found in Wiki for the first time. Now in FishBase I have found the other several vernacular names, such as Orange scorpionfish, which are probably used for this species somewhere. But I have never met it. Red scorpionfish is really main vernacular name of this species, also used in FAO documentation. Therefore I would like to use it as the article title. In the discussion on the page of WikiProject I used only Scorpaena scrofa. --Ykvach (talk) 14:04, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello my friend. I must say that I don't quite understand why you don't like the scientific names? Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:23, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, You didnot understand me... I have nothing against the scientific names. It must be used in the cases where it is necessary. But common names are more useful for many of people. If the scientific name is adequate, it must be used. Actually, this is agree with the rules of Wiki, to use the comon name for the titles of articles. Also I would like to say, that scientific names are not very "stable". There are a lot of taxonomic revisions with the further name changes, which make confused even scientists. And I am trying to put all known scientific synonyms in the articles about fishes. And sometime it is very complecated. In this view vernacular names are more stable, then scientific. If someone called the species Red scorpionfish, it will be Red scorpionfish everytime, despite it was called Scorpaena barbata, S. barbata, S. lutea, S. natalensis, Scorpaenopsis natalensis, Sebastapistes scorfa. And despite, someone will probable describe it with any new scientific name, it will be Red scorpionfish! Ykvach (talk) 14:46, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry. I'm confused again.

Please give me the link to your quoted guideline: "...1(i) The species has a single common name that is widely used and never used for any other species. While the species in question may have additional common names, those names are rarely used. Example: Greenland halibut...." I can't find it. I can find:

Don't use common names when it isn't clear what the name refers to. The name sardine is used for many different species of small oily fishes; the only appropriate thing to do is to write an article describing the attributes the species have in common under that name.

Please tell me which species red scorpionfish is? I see at least two species called that. Are you saying we should pick one, and make a disambiguation page for the other(s)? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:05, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo! This is a link: guidelines. Someone posted the FishBase link to another species, named Red scorpionfish. Probably, we can make the disambination page, such as in case of Sardine, where to describe all Red scorpionfishes, also all Red rock cod. At this time we could wait for another ideas in WikiProject Fish page. Ykvach (talk) 15:25, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. Thanks for the link. Strange place for guidelines. According to the section "Article titles", it's not really about primary sources saying what name is common. If various sources show the same name for different species, then the page ought not be moved, and a dab page/hatnote should be considered. A google search should determine which are appropriate candidates. I looked at your other page moves, and they seem fine.

By the way, how does http://www.marinespecies.org/ compare to fishbase? Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:04, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the WoRMS... It have much more mistakes, then FishBase (this one also has mistakes). I can say it as ichthyologist and found some mistakes related to my work. Another database related to marine life is SeaLife (about marine invertebrates), which is new, but useful. Ykvach (talk) 17:39, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what you mean? Which is more complete? Which has more mistakes? Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:41, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FishBase is more complete. Ykvach (talk) 05:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hey Ykvach, I'm posting this message on your talk page because I noticed that you've recently created the new article Tuzly's Lagoon National Park--However, I think the article seems to contain a few errors: the article does not contain in-line citations, and so doesn't follow Wikipedia style guidelines. It would be great if you could also clean-up the related article Kumbrabow State Forest.

Kind regards and happy editing! Jipinghe (talk) 04:45, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You for the message! All the information in this article is taken from the Decree of the President of Ukraine No 1, 2010 (see "Source"). Because there ia only one source, I donot think it needs to be in-line cited. In any case, this article needs to be complete. I have forgotten to mention it as Stub... --Ykvach (talk) 06:50, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clownfish

Um... why have you moved Clownfish to Amphiprioninae, and was there a discussion before you made this rather radical move? --Epipelagic (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo! Clownfish is usually used for the genus Amphiprion, but the subfamily consists also the genus Premnas, Maroon clownfish. I laso made a lot of changes in interwikis, because the page Amphiprioninae had a lot of mistakes in interwiki, bacause it was named as Clownfish and this names was linked to the genus in many cases. Ykvach (talk) 17:02, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Epipelagic, I can confirm that "clownfish" is used as a common name for the genus Amphiprion and the genus Premnas with regards to home aquaria. Amphiprioninae also has a better information about clownfish than Amphiprion, which contains only a list of species that is already contained on Amphiprioninae. Ykvach, if you start a discussion on this subject to make sure the move stays, please let me know as I support it. Kat (talk) 09:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo friends! I think, it is nevermind how to call the articles, but we might to make two defferent articles: about Amphiprioninae and Amphiprion as genus. Last one might describe the main characteristics of the genus. I just wanted to make it as stub to describe it later. If you think Clownfish is better for Amphiprioninae, OK, let it be. But in this case I donot know how to call Amphiprion. The genus Premnas consists of only one species, Maroon clownfish, so the name is clear. Please make changes according your ideas, I will be in expedition for several weeks and cannot discuss, sorry. Thank You! --Ykvach (talk) 11:48, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would call each of these by scientific name, then redirect clownfish to Amphiprioninae or create a clownfish disambiguation page and point clownfish to that. Kat (talk) 14:01, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I vote for Disambination page! Thank You, Kat! Ykvach (talk) 14:28, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You should start a discussion on the clownfish talk page :) Kat (talk) 13:35, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Odessa Museum of Regional History

"Odessa Museum of Regional History" is the idiomatic way to say "Museum [in Odessa] of the history of Odessa Region" in English -- the region in question is implied by the location. "Odessa Museum of the Regional History", on the other hand, is not idiomatic English, and, for a native English speaker, raises the question "Odessa Museum of the Regional History of where?" If you are going to translate names, please use the correct local idiomatic form. -- The Anome (talk) 21:59, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You! Probably the correct title might be the Museum of the Regional History of Odessa. What do you think? --Yuriy Kvach (talk) 18:48, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! Yes, that might also be acceptable, but it's not quite as idiomatic as "Odessa Museum of Regional History". The ambiguity in that formulation would be whether "of Odessa" referred to its location or the region the history attaches to: the first version elegantly allows the confusion to be elided in a way that the English reader would understand without needing to think about it: that the museum is in Odessa (from word ordering) and that the region in question was the region containing Odessa. -- The Anome (talk) 01:31, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank You for your consultation! I will leave in the presented form. --Yuriy Kvach (talk) 09:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive moves

Would you please stop moving pages on cities on territories not controlled by Ukraine without discussion. Ukraine does not control them, the new names are not locally recognized, and moves are therefore controvercial. These cities juct can not be moved without discussion.

OK, sorry! Did you organise the discussion anywhere? --Yuriy Kvach (talk) 14:27, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion tagging

Hello, Ykvach,

You've been an editor on Wikipedia for quite a while but I need to remind you that you can't simply put {{db}} on a page and have it deleted. You have to have a valid reason. Please review Criteria for Speedy Deletion for the existing criteria for speedy deletion. Whether you are using CSD, PROD or AFD, you need to indicate why a page should be deleted. If you still have questions, I encourage you to ask at the Teahouse. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Velyka Mykhailivka Raion

A tag has been placed on Category:Velyka Mykhailivka Raion requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!

Renaming question

Hello Ykvach, and I hope you are well 🙂 I was curious about why you decided to rename the page Makarivka, Volnovakha Raion to Makarivka, Volnovakha Raion, Donetsk Oblast? Since there are no other Volnovakha Raions in Ukraine, I was wondering why you would decide to change the page name to a longer title when other Ukrainian villages are similarly disambiguated with just the Raion. Could I possibly change the name back? I think shorter titles just read better whenever possible. You didn't leave a reason for the change and I wanted to know if there was some policy reason I didn't know about. Cheers! Johnson524 02:15, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ukrainian placename changes and pronunciation

Hi, I hope you're doing well! Thank you for performing the necessary page moves for so many of the changed placenames in Ukraine, but can you please be a little more careful with your edits? In edits like this and this, you've repeatedly changed the bolded title without recontextualizing or removing the pronunciation of the old name, which makes articles erroneously present the pronunciation for the old names as if they are the pronunciations of the new names (ex: saying that "Pivdenne" is pronounced /ˈjuʒne/). I've fixed some of these errors when the changes showed up on my watchlist, but many pages are still in an incorrect state. It's not a super big deal - I understand that silly mistakes like this can happen when doing boring mass-edits - but I wanted to let you know. Have a great day! HappyWith (talk) 14:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
