This article is wrongly named as it is not about the journal but solely about the "Wells and Wellington affair" (W&W). Basically all text is about the last few issues in which the W&W articles appeared. There is also discussion of works by W&W that appeared in completely different publications. This should either be renamed "Wells and Wellington affair", or perhaps merged to Richard W. Wells, where there currently is scant discussion of this affair, but which seems to belong there (Wells apparently being the more important actor).
I have not put a "merge to" or other template on this article as it will apparently be an FA in a few days. It would be good if the above changes could be enacted before that time. --Randykitty (talk) 16:05, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
The article is now at Wells and Wellington Affair, but the first sentence uses lower case on affair: The "Wells and Wellington affair" is a name ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Will the redirect, 'document to affair', be deleted eventually? ~ cygnis insignis 15:34, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
In the photo of Myuchelys purvisi, recognition and usage of the name purvisi as the valid senior syn stems from Iverson et al 2001, but it is probably best to use Thomson and Georges 2009 the description of Myuchelys as this paper formally assigned the species to Myuchelys including this one with the Wells and Wellington name.

How did a first-year undergraduate student become the editor of a newly established scientific journal? Was/is it usual practice in the relevant area? --Paul_012 (talk) 18:09, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
As this is an FA, I’m more curious than anything. The opening sentence uses “...is a name given to...”. I can’t see any discussion of WP:REFERS in the FA, so wondering why this is considered ok? DeCausa (talk) 18:53, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
I'm not sure how much overlap there is, but the WikiSpecies article on Wells mentions another source:[1] (the article is also available here). --Pokechu22 (talk) 00:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
