@Pvmoutside: I just made an edit here, my head was swimming with names until I could see the taxonomy. Do you think this is an improvement, that it clarifies to readers what happened and where might they want to click? cygnis insignis 15:59, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

generally, I stay away from subspecies links since there is plenty to do on the species side....Pvmoutside (talk) 16:46, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

True, but there is likely to be a lot of shuffling around in the next few years, the latest circumscription of this population being a good example. I linked to this in a new article about someone who made an early collection of the species, so luckily I know where and what he gathered. cygnis insignis 17:33, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and if the links are likely to stay red, I will redirect them (might have to think twice about that). cygnis insignis 17:37, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
