Pagemover

[edit]

Hey Quetzal, I see you requesting monotypic genus swaps at WP:RM/TR a lot. Over 300 times, to be precise. You might want to consider requesting the page mover permission at WP:PERM so you can do these yourself. Best, Toadspike [Talk] 21:31, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page mover granted

[edit]

Hello, Quetzal1964. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 15:26, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Quetzal1964,

Now that you have PageMover, please could you move Bengala bard to the right spelling, without leaving a redirect?

Thanks, well spotted! Quetzal1964 (talk) 12:26, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Author

[edit]

Hey Quetzal, The article you made, Scomberoidinae has the wrong author, Gill is not the real author, rather it is Jordan & Gilbert 1883 as per Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes. Reference https://www.calacademy.org/scientists/catalog-of-fishes-classification/ Codonified (talk) 01:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Codonified And?
Yes it looks like that. I am not going to be precious about you correcting it. This article was created over 4 years ago, so I cannot recall the reason, if any, that this error occurred. Quetzal1964 (talk) 10:24, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

or any other errors you find by me, I am sure there are a few! Quetzal1964 (talk) 12:31, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Bro its not that, I came to you because I wanted some more sources other than eschemeyers, you see my friend, I really have a hard time finding references, thats why I came to you so that you could help me. :) Codonified (talk) 09:48, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Codonified Okay, Eschmeyer's (ECoF) is the source the Wikipedia:FISHES project follows for taxonomy at and below the level of order (although that is recent, not the case when I made the error described above). The names ECoF give for authors is based on Family-group names of Recent fishes by Van der Laan, Eschmeyer & Fricke (VDLEF)
http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:03E154FD-F167-4667-842B-5F515A58C8DE which you can access from the ECoF website (https://www.calacademy.org/scientists/catalog-of-fishes-family-group-names). When I erroneously attributed the name you mention to Gill, this paper was the source I probably misread. FishBase bases its taxonomy on ECoF and WoRMS seems to base its on FishBase. I went back to the original papare cited by VDLEF, here https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/944650. However, according to VDLEF then name Jordan & Gilbert gave it was Scombroidinae and Gill corrected the spelling to Scomberoidinae. I think I mistakenly thought Gill's correction should see him attributed with the naming of this taxon.Quetzal1964 (talk) 10:20, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Help please

[edit]

Hello Quetzal, could you please help me out by adding the synonyms of Beauveria bassiana, you see, I have a hard time following up what the reference(external link) is saying. Codonified (talk) 20:04, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Codonified I am more familiar with Zoological naming rather than Botanical (Mycology follows Botanical). However, the oldest name is Botrytis bassiana Bals.-Criv. from 1835. Giuseppe Gabriel Balsamo-Crivelli is the species authority. Unlike Zoology, the naming system used for plants and fungi add the name of the author of the new name after that of the original author, so Spicaria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. which means that Jean Paul Vuillemin placed this species in the genus Spicaria. So Balsamo-Crivelli is the author of the first name, the basionym, and Vuillemin moved this species into a different genus. In Zoological names this would not be used, the European greenfinch was named Loxia chloris by Linnaeus but is now in the genus Chloris, so it is now wriiten as Chloris chloris (Linnaeus, 1758) but if it was a fungus or plant the name would be, as far as I understand it, Chloris chloris (Linn.) Cuv. Where a new basionym is used, such as Sporotrichum densum Link, this means that Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link proposed this name, thinking he was describing a new species, Alfred Mathieu Giard then proposed that this species be moved to the genus Isaria, with the name written as Isaria densa (Link) Giard.
Species fungorum list this as "Isaria densa (Link) Giard, C. r. hebd. Séanc. Acad. Sci., Paris 113: 270 (1891)" This tells you that Giard published his new name in Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences in 1891.
Hope this helps. Quetzal1964 (talk) 20:53, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much, but honestly I think had botanical naming followed the same rules as zoological naming, it would be more simple to understand, but that's just my opinion.
Anyways, well wishes and good day to you.😀 Codonified (talk) 21:11, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The European Destubathon

[edit]

You are invited to participate in The European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♩ Dr. Blofeld 17:22, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
