Naturalised

[edit]

Which Australian tree frog bred at least once? There are almost 100 species. I am guessing it is either the Green and Golden Bell Frog (Litoria aurea) or the Australian Green Tree Frog (Litoria caerulea). Thanks. --liquidGhoul 01:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added what I learnt from the Brit. Herpet. Soc., but I have already asked them for a scientific name--GRM 21:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Duplication

[edit]

Why is the Great Crested Newt listed as both naturalised and native?77.98.7.118 (talk) 02:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't, Italian crested newts are a distinct species.142.176.114.76 (talk) 20:21, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Subspecies

[edit]

Could subspecies be verified? I need to know which subspecies are present for a project I'm working on. 142.176.114.76 (talk) 00:20, 10 January 2014 (UTC)Sean McCabe[reply]

Bold edit

Have made a WP:bold edit to the introduction, so that the numbers match the species listed in the article. 155.190.13.13 (talk) 00:43, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Agile frog?

[edit]

Since Jersey does not appear to be part of any definition of Great Britain, should Agile frog be removed?—GRM (talk) 09:03, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grmanners: Looks like the spiny toad should go too. Be bold, or if you prefer I can do it. SchreiberBike | ⌨  15:55, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It would appear we would be in error—see Wikipedia:WikiProject United Kingdom

I'd defer to someone with better knowledge than mine. Based on the Wikipedia articles, it seems that while Jersey is a Crown Dependency, I don't think that makes it part of Great Britain. What WikiProject United Kingdom says is part of its bailiwick (deliberate misuse of colloquial language) does not change geography. I'll bet the fine folks at WikiProject United Kingdom would have an opinion if we can't come to a conclusion. SchreiberBike | ⌨  22:02, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great Britain is the island that contains England, Scotland and Wales, and their off-shore islands (eg Isle of Wight, Anglesy) - it doesn't include the Channel Islands - see the Great Britain article here, especially Great_Britain#Political_definition 155.190.60.34 (talk) 02:34, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
