I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! —Alalch E. 10:06, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please categorize the redirects you create. You can do it manually or with Capricorn, a user script made for this purpose. Sincerely —Alalch E. 10:08, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Lutra lutra lutra is not an alternative scientific name relative to Eurasian otter, it is simply a scientific name (sans alternative). Lutra lutra lutra is an alternative scientific name to Lutra lutra, but Lutra lutra is not the target, as the article is named "Eurasian otter", so the Lutra lutra lutra is a redirect from the scientific name to the vernacular name, just like Lutra lutra is. —Alalch E. 10:28, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Black-billed magpie revert

Hi Grey Clownfish, welcome to Wikipedia! I wanted to give some extra context on my revert of your edit.

The primary issue with the edit is that only the lead was updated, but the corresponding section in the article was left as is. MOS:INTRO, the lead is just a summary of what's in the article and should match what has been stated and cited in the article.

For your edit, if you have a source corroborating the name differences, then absolutely update the article, but make sure that the Taxonomy section is update and cited first, then update the lead to match.

As a side note, since the claim is that they were all originally called black-billed Magpies you'll want to make sure you word that carefully to avoid too much confusion to readers about which species changed names.

Neoaves

Hi. I had never read before that Neoaves were called "typical birds". Do you have any reference where they are called that? Thanks in advance. --Ornithodiez (talk) 01:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They have that name in the IOC World Bird List. Grey Clownfish (talk) 03:03, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not blank, it is a soft redirect to the Wiktionary entry. By the way, I tried to propose it at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects, but the preview showed it as auto-declined as apparently wiktionary:childlover doesn't exist. Grey Clownfish (talk) 02:30, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated for deletion

Your contributed article, Psittacopedidae

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Psittacopedidae. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Psittacopes. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Psittacopes. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. TheYearbookTeacher (talk) 08:58, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

bird stubs

Sorry about those reverts. I'd seen what looked like a bulk mistake so reverted in bulk. Now that my attention here, I'll be soon making new stubs so that these get some better love, similar to what I did over in crab stubs. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:38, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anhingidae

I see no particular reason to make the changes you are making considering the material is covered in the Anhinga article. Please gain consensus for the changes you are making before going ahead and doing them. All I see is that you're adding a maintenance burden. Thanks YorkshireExpat (talk) 17:08, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. Please see WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:50, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
