Disambiguation link notification for September 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tambatitanis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Basal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Pages for new dinosaurs

~~Can you create new pages from Mnyamawamtuka and Sektensaurus? I tried to make one of Pareisactus, but it wasn't very good, so that's why I'm asking you to do it.~~

DYK for Bajadasaurus

On 4 March 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bajadasaurus, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Bajadasaurus had elongated neural spines on its neck, thought to have been used to deter predators? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bajadasaurus. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Bajadasaurus), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2020

Hi I think your reasons for removing the plot synopsis for the Lego Star Wars video games were unjustified for some of them. I will revert them, and I ask for you to instead make a request to remove the summaries first before you remove them again. I understand your point, but at the time, it was way too much content to remove without a consensus. If there was a consensus to remove the plots, please remove the plots again, and respond to me with a link. OcelotCreeper (talk) 19:44, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I make this request? My logic was that they all appeared to have been added by a single person each, and in such a small amount of time, so it seemed suspicious. It was perhaps with good intentions, but clearly inappropriate and inconsistent with other articles. This isn't a Lego Star Wars wiki. Perhaps abridged versions could be kept, but they were all perfectly competent enough articles before they were added, so I felt it most sensible to just remove it all because it was so clearly excessive. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 22:21, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zigongosaurus1138: Yeah I recommend we first try and see if we could remove as much stuff as possible. If we can't, we should delete the plots. Getting a consensus for this stuff usually takes a week so we have time to try and trim things down. OcelotCreeper (talk) 23:20, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@OcelotCreeper: Zigongosaurus1138 used a thorough edit summary in those deletions (Removed extraneous plot synopsis that was added recently. If you want to include some of this information, it must be heavily condensed. This synopsis is disproportionately large compared to the rest of the article. This is not a Lego Star Wars wiki, and so this much detail is inappropriate and inconsistent with typical video game articles on Wikipedia. Not to mention none of it is referenced!) and all of which are valid reasons to delete the sections (MOS:PLOT, WP:SUMMARY/WP:DETAIL, and WP:TOOMUCH also come to mind). There is no need for an information/warning icon in this instance. However, you are absolutely within your rights to revert the deletion per WP:BRD.

Zigongosaurus1138: I would recommend keeping the discussion in one place, such as the frequently used Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games, but not at multiple places as the conversations should be kept to one place so that a proper WP:CONSENSUS can be made. You may place notices of a WP:RfC on other possibly involved projects directing the discussion though. Hope that all helps, Yosemiter (talk) 23:14, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zigongosaurus1138: I just thought of something. Maybe instead of a summary of the plot for Video game-Complete Saga, the articles will say that the plots are based off of the films and then list the biggest differences from the films and the games (for example, the attempt to assassinate Padme in Episode 2 and Anakin destroying the Trade Federation ship in Episode 1 do not appear in the game).

June 2020

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from draft:Navajoceratops into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. The draft appears to have been copy-pasted into article space. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:58, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I didn't actually see that there was a pre-existing draft article. The article is a small stub based on information from a single recently published source, and these kinds of dinosaur articles have a well-established general formatting style, so there will inevitably be coincidental similarities. But thank you for the heads up. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 17:27, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think of these?

I don't see anything objectionable. Why isn't the Lusovenator one up and running yet? Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 14:22, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno. Atlantis536 (talk) 13:39, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See the talk page

Informally named means an informal name, not a proposed formal name that has yet to be published., Wikipedia is not for breaking news, so this is not a thing we should be including yet, and would not belong on that page anyway. Guy (help! - typo?) 11:43, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From the article list of informally named dinosaurs:

"Nomen manuscriptum, Latin for "manuscript name": A name that appears in manuscript but was not formally published. A nomen manuscriptum is equivalent to a nomen nudum for everything except the method of publication, and description."

The name has been coined in a manuscript that has not been published. It meets the definition of nomen manuscriptum according to the one given in this article.

Also from the same article:

"Nicknames or descriptive names given to specimens or taxa by researchers or the press"

Even if the name doesn't meet the criteria for nomen manuscriptum, it certainly fits the criteria here. The two articles I cited demonstrate that both researchers from the University of Portsmouth and the press have used this name.

Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 11:49, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Zigongosaurus1138, it is not an "informally named dinosaur". It is a proposed newly discovered dinosaur that is described in an as yet unpublished paper. This is not a "nickname or descriptive name given by researchers", it's a proposed formal name. it does not belong on that list, please remove it immediately. Per WP:BRD, the onus is on you to gain consensus for inclusion. Guy (help! - typo?) 13:21, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are incorrect, as it is a name that has not been formally coined. If it is not formal then, logically, it must be informal. This is not a controversial change to make. There is also little point trying to gain a consensus as the time that takes would likely be longer than the amount of time until this taxon is formally published anyway and it obviously needs removing from the list. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 14:03, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A consensus in favour of keeping it in the list has now become apparent. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 09:56, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I saw your latest Edit Summary. If you are sure, then this is what you seek: Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry/Notes for the accuser - happy hunting! William Harristalk 22:10, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I made enough noise that others noticed and the individual has been dealt with. I tried to find info on how to deal with sockpuppets but it was all quite difficult to understand as an editor not savvy on the technicalities on Wikipedia. This looks very helpful for future reference. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 22:20, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for cleaning all that up! When I looked through the IPs' edit histories just now, it was good to see someone had got there first. On the topic of the same editor's work, please join this discussion at WikiProject Tree of Life about whether any of it should be kept.

IP edits

Hey, I noticed you've also been dealing with IP user 77.99.156.192. His/her edits seem to have "ended" on November 10 last year. However, I've encountered a new IP (82.41.151.124) when editing several pterosaur pages. This IP's edit history starts the day after 77.99.156.192's edits, it also seems that this IP is the same person as 77.99.156.192, just by looking at their talk page, they have a massive amount of AfC submissions, just like 77.99.156.192. As you already know, they've been adding a lot of unhelpful edits, and they're doing it in a very fast pace. So what I'm saying is that perhaps I could help you track their edits or something like that? JurassicClassic767 (talk | contribs) 09:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
