accident

I accidentally deleted this page. Sorry. I will fix it. Sorry. Please do not report me. Sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Pharmacist (talk • contribs) 07:04, 16 October 2006

Lol, it is fine. I have fixed everything you did (left some comments on your talk page). We understand mistakes here, no need to worry. --liquidGhoul 07:45, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redundance?

This page seems to focus primarily on the Southern Dibbler, which has its own page. It also needs to be organised, and it might be easier to delete or make a disambiguation page, as all of the information found here could easily be placed on the species pages. What do others think?

Disambig?

This article appears to be about two species of marsupial, in different genera no less, that share a common name. I think it should be a disambiguation page. Hesperian 12:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nah. There are other biology articles like this one that span genera. Jackal comes to mind. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:14, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Except i'm wrong and all jackals are in Canis. Still, I'm confident there are others like this one. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kangaroo paw spans multiple genera... but I'd like to see that become a disambig too. Hesperian 01:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please change wrong nomenclature - the southern dibbler is actually the dibbler.

Moved from talk:Southern Dibbler

I have previously posted Dibbler information stating this is incorrect nomenclature (see historical data where you can see several published research papers from Australia) and was given the same answer (i.e. "we use Mammal Species of the World and therefore our information is correct").

Its very shortsighted that Wiki uses an American published book to name mammals around the world, however I am telling you categorically that your information is wrong. Please do not be ignorant and claim that because you find it in a book it is correct. We all know that many books contain errors. It is time to fix this error and diseminate correct rather than false information.

I deal directly with the Western Australia scientists who are in the field as well as the Dibbler Recovery Team. I recently discussed this with Dr Tony Friend who is in charge of the Dibbler Recovery Plan, and he agreed with me. I can assure you categorically that no one calls them southern dibblers.

And further to your reference on the so called august Mammal Species of the World I strongly suggest you look at the latest version where the American publishers have corrected their mistake and now call this animal by the name that the scientists and academics in Western Australia all call it - "The Dibbler".

Note on move

I moved and merged the content from the article Southern Dibbler, I was swayed by the reference and changes to that article. The name is traditional, at least in one region, and conforms with a trend to restore these names to indigenous mammals. Best of all, the assertion and rationale are made in a reliable source. cygnis insignis 20:18, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done cygnis insignis! Nicely edited too - I like it. Finally some one with some sense appears on the scene. It has amazed me that Wiki insisted on imparting incorrect information simply because it is in a book (called an august publication by one fellow who clearly must belong to the flat earth society) - rather than looking further and finding the truth...

Although I'm wondering about your name and whether you are a) from WA b) a supporter of that awful eastern coast team "The Swans"? Mick wackers (talk) 01:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
