Hi there - I noticed you misspelled "European" as "Europen" in a number of articles you created recently. Might be worth checking the spelling if you're using a template or script. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Simuliid
I saw your new artcle, Polypedilum. Is there a problem (bot?), as it refers to Lauterborniella in the lead in and taxobox? I didn't want to make a change before you had the chance to review. Cheers, Heds (talk) 03:54, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Just stopping by to complement you on all the insect articles you are creating. I'm working on moths myself, but saw a lot of your articles when randombly browsing around. I found a usefull site for pictures some time ago, which might be usefull for you too (but then again, you might already be aware of it). http://www.forestryimages.org/browse/order.cfm?id=58&goButton=+go+ Cheers and keep up the great work!

Hi there. I see your new articles about insects come up a lot in New Page Patrol. Consider applying for the autoreviewer permission. This will make pages you create show up as already patrolled, meaning that they won't come up in the NPP logs, saving us at NPP a little effort. I'll gladly nominate you myself, if you'd prefer. — ækTalk 10:23, 3 December 2009 (UTC) PS -- thanks for all the work you're doing to expand the articles on insect taxa!

You were recommended to me for possible help on the article scaptia lata. In particular, I am not 100% sure I have identified the species in the photo correctly. I created the article for the photo. You may also wish to create a user page for your account that gives a little background information about yourself. Having a blank user page is a little confusing for other users. Jason Quinn (talk) 14:42, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 21:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure we've discussed this before, but I would remind you that there is a strong consensus, demonstrated on more than one occasion, that minor ranks should not be included in taxoboxes unless they're directly relevant. That means you should not include suborders on articles dealing with a species or genus, for instance. The taxobox is meant to be a summary, not an exhaustive list, so all that is required, typically, are the seven major ranks (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species). I know that it can be difficult to know which ranks the general reader will consider important if you are a specialist in a given group (since all the taxa seem important to you), but I can assure you that for flies, nothing is needed between Order and Family, and in most cases, nothing is needed between Family and Genus. --Stemonitis (talk) 06:00, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi there, I saw what you did to the birth date format in Junrey Balawing's article. There is an on going discussion request in this regard, as I am implying the first given example here.

What reason do you have for your recent mass undoing of my edits? Your articles are so short that they add nothing that was not already apparent from the list on the genus page. They are ill-formatted, containing far too much taxonomic detail in the taxobox (as we have discussed before). They are also generally very poorly sourced. Inclusion of the species name in certain listings is no good evidence that a species is currently recognised as valid. For all these reasons, it is better to merge all the worthless substubs on Herina species to the genus' article. You must have known, both from our previous interactions and from common sense, that that kind of action would not be greeted with joy. It took me a fair amount of time and effort to clean up after you; making me do the same thing again is particularly unwelcome. --Stemonitis (talk) 06:26, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi I see several of your Ulidiidae pages are duplicates.An instance is Herina palustris (Meigen, 1826) which also appears as Ortalis palustris Meigen, 1826 (on it's own page) though the synonymy is given in the Herina palustris taxobox. Maybe you could check these.I am not sure that redirect is the best course for such synonyms. Perhaps deletion of the invalid combinations would be better. The info content is, at least here, minimal.Can you add more? Notafly (talk) 07:05, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I am a new editor in the fly section. Can you see if I should use a common name in the article above? I think its widespread! Can you also see which one is correct Uramya pristis or Tachina basalis. The thing is is that Tachina basalis is not listed in Tachina genus!

Hi, Simuliid. I have recently been removing empty |month=
parameters from cite templates since that parameter is now deprecated. The last remaining articles my searches find consist largely of fly genus or species articles that you started (there were about 80 in total). Many of these follow a similar format and use the same references (two in particular). Rather than just removing the deprecated parameter, I'm considering upgrading the references too. I wish to change:
to
and
to
These changes would modernize and correct these two references while adding more information. I am worried about the |page=
parameter however. This parameter (or |pages=
) are meant to specify the cited material as precisely as possible. It is not for the total number of pages. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you used the total number of pages in each source when you made these pages and not the page (or pages) that specifically support the statement being footnoted. This means we need to correct that. I started this by trying to verify the statement sourced with D'Assis Fonseca 1968 in the Villeneuvia article but I was unable to verify that sentence using the PDF of D'Assis Fonseca 1968 I found online; however, the PDF I found was a few pages incomplete. In general I am worried that this reference may have been used only as a very vague reference in all these fly articles. Footnoted statements should be very clearly supported by the source. In fact, when possible, it's best to use the |quote=
parameter to say exactly what statement in the source supports the statement in the Wikipedia article.
Could you clarify how these sources were used and, in particular, how the |page=
parameter was? Also, if you notice any problems in the upgraded cite templates above, please tell me. You can find many of these articles by using "insource:/\|\s*month\s*=\s*\|/ -incategory:Pages_containing_cite_templates_with_deprecated_parameters" as a search. Cheers, Jason Quinn (talk) 19:47, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
Jason Quinn (talk) 19:47, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
|accessdate=
parameter should only be used if there is an associated |url=
parameter and |pages=
should not be used for the total number of pages and you should not add "pp" or anything like that because the template adds "p." or "pp." automatically. If don't know if you've turned them on or not, but many cite template errors are not visible by default. I think they should all be turned on by default but it's done for reader orientated purposes. For active editors like yourself, however, it's a good idea to turn them on so you can detect potential problems. You can follow the instructions at Help:CS1 errors#Controlling error message display to turn them on. Anyway, I'd like to help improve these fly articles with you. Let me know what you think about the above. Cheers, Jason Quinn (talk) 13:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)|month=
, yes I no longer use that, and suspect any articles you needed to correct I eddied some time ago? Re the |page=
and |pages=
parameters. I am very aware of the differences, and misuse is a clear error on my part. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will try to be more careful with its use in future. I almost exclusively (intended) to use the |pages=
parameter, and where I have used the ((para|page} parameter, it is almost always in error, the only exception will be some references to Chandler's Checklists of Insects of the British Isles: Diptera, where someone else had been using the ((para|page} parameter correctly and I merely copied there usage. So in the Fonseca examples for gave, this should be cerrected to |pages=
. As for the "p." or "pp." and the point about the |accessdate=
associated with |url=
, I was not aware. Thanks for pointing these out, I will bear these in mind in future. Please keep up the good work.Simuliid talk 13:28, 2 January 2015 (UTC)Hi, Simuliid. Thanks for the reply. Yes, many of this articles were created a while ago (like back in 2009'ish). You can find the same list I am seeing by searching for "insource:/\|\s*month\s*=\s*\|/ -incategory:Pages_containing_cite_templates_with_deprecated_parameters" in the search box (should find about 62 items total with many of them fly articles). You say you "almost exclusively" intend to use the |pages=
parameter. If you mean general, I'm confused by that. Or do you mean solely for the two references above? For instance, could you explain what is on page 118 of the D'Assis Fonseca book? It appears to be part of the index and I am worried it is the total number of pages in the book, which is not what |pages=
is for. I would like to make sure the references are near perfect before going and changing about 70'ish or more in total. Cheers, Jason Quinn (talk) 11:28, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Simuliid- unless I am very much mistaken, there is no guideline preventing direct page citations as I used them in the above article, but there is a guideline against changing citation style without consensus.

Hello Simuliid!
I've read you are an expert in entomology, so I was wondering if you can help me find out whether the name of Wikipedia article "Mordella brusteli" is correct? In Joe Hallan's Biology Catalog in the family Mordellidae I have not found the species "Mordella brusteli" but "Mediimorda brusteli" instead. A lot of the species in this family are called "Mordella ...". Some of them, however, according to Biology Catalog are called "Mediimorda ...", although they are in the same family. If the Biology Catalog is correct, there is a wrongly named article in the Spanish- and English-language Wikipedias: "Mordella brusteli", which should be named "Mediimorda brusteli". However, I am NOT an expert, so I'd like to know what you think. Thanks a lot! --Anna Mayerhof (talk) 14:22, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

For linking from species to their binomial authorities. This is important and valuable work.
However: adding a bluelink is almost always not WP:MINOR, as you have marked many of your edits. I only mark as WP:MINOR edits which neither add nor change information and which are totally uncontroversial. I never mark a new bluelink as WP:MINOR; even if I'm merely putting [[]] around existing text. "Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if the edit concerns a single word, and it is improper to mark such an edit as minor". IMO that warning extends to fixing bad links to DAB or surname pages. Narky Blert (talk) 00:08, 1 March 2018 (UTC) |
Hi there,
I notice that when you recently edited the page Hydrobia glyca you made this change, which undid this edit done by User:William Avery Bot shortly beforehand.
I recently opened a discussion about automating the transfer of mollusc articles from "Animals described in ..." to "Molluscs described in..." categories at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Gastropods#Populating_the_"Molluscs_described_in_YYYY"_categories. The three editors who commented all seem quite keen on having a separate set of categories for gastropods (which hadn't previously crossed by mind), so I'm in the process of implementing that, and the edit you reversed was part of a trial of the bot task. Anyway, I thought you might have an opinion on the matter and, if so, make it known at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Gastropods#Populating_the_"Molluscs_described_in_YYYY"_categories or at WP:BRFA#William_Avery_Bot. Any input would be most welcome, and I certainly would not want to in any way alienate an editor as productive and knowledgeable as yourself. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chymomyza, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Grimaldi (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.)

The situation as it was ALWAYS stays as it is, so don't go for 3RR. The discussion was opened at Template Talk.
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. KittenKlub (talk) 16:02, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello Simuliid,
You are welcome to continue adding "Carl Linnaeus" to the links to L., but it is unnecessary since there is a redirect. There are more important things to fix in the Wikipedia articles about plants described by Linnaeus. For example, Liparis loeselii (L.) Rich. is only a stub. Your help in expanding it would be greatly appreciated. (You may have noticed that all the other author names in the Liparis article, rely on redirects.) If you do find an author abbreviation lacking a redirect, please create the redirect. Gderrin (talk) 01:03, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

When you created a redirect from Stenotaenia to Senotainia, you neglected to check if the name was in use for any plant (or myriapod) taxon, which in fact, it is. A quick method of checking is to click on 'What links here' to see if there are any incoming links that are not congruent with your intended redirect. Also you did not include a sorting template, such as ((R from alternative scientific name|insect)). Abductive (reasoning) 05:32, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Among several other countries, it has been doing Barbados. It appears to be very similar to how Capewearer did that before. Do you find any similarity or relationship between the two accounts?

Hi. For the most part, as a long-time editor of insect articles, I find your edits to be very helpful and constructive, but you are going against policy by generalizing existing categories instead of keeping them as precise as possible. Asiloidea is much more precise than Brachycera, and all the genera in Asiloidea should be in the appropriate category, not labeled as Brachyceran genera. I don't think you would agree that the best category for all of these would be as "insect genera". While they are insect genera, that's not the most precise available category. "Category:Asiloidea genera" is the most precise existing category, and that's where they belong. I spent a lot of time today fixing those entries, and you've blanket reverted them and that's rather impolite and - as I said - against best practice. I would be appreciative if you would please revert them all back to Asiloidea genera, rather than engaging in an edit war. Thanks. Dyanega (talk) 20:09, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
I went ahead and raised this topic, as politely and objectively as I could, over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life, which is where most of the discussions take place regarding policies that apply to taxonomic articles in Wikipedia. Briefly, the consensus there seems to be more specific categorization is better, under MOST circumstances. You can go there and see some of the comments yourself, but I can also quote some that seemed especially significant: "WP:CATSPECIFIC and WP:CATDD explicitly state that articles should go in the most specific category to which they are relevant. Templates like ((diffuse)) and ((catimprove)) also encourage being specific. If the more specific category exists, then the articles should not be moved to its parent. It can be disputed whether the more specific category should exist. For that, see Wikipedia:Overcategorization. If the editor you mention thinks the more specific taxonomy-related categories shouldn't exist because of one of the reasons listed there, then they should nominate that category for discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion rather than moving articles into a parent category. (The criterion most likely to be relevant would be WP:SMALLCAT, but that doesn't provide an arbitrary size quota and the description of "small" is "a few members
"; hundreds of pages isn't "a few". Even if it were a few, it also explicitly states "this criterion does not preclude all small categories
"" "For plants, WP:WikiProject Plants/Categorization#Taxonomic categories says "categorize an article at the highest taxonomic rank which yields a 'sensible' set of category sizes (say 10-100 entries)". It seems to me to be good advice for all groups." "I think I've come across guidance somewhere that suggested splitting categories when there is a logical way to do so and displaying the members takes multiple pages (i.e., 200+ members). I haven't seen guidance suggesting that 500 members is a minimum."
The points that everyone there seem to be making are (1) that there is no arbitrary favored size, and to the extent there is, it is a lot smaller than what you suggested. As such, the "Asiloidea genera" category really is perfectly acceptable if it contains between 100-200 entries, as it is likely to do after Asilidae and Bombyliidae are removed. Just Mydidae is 65 genera, and Therevidae and Acroceridae are also fairly large. (2) Where guidelines DO exist, they all state that if one is CHOOSING between different existing categories that are hierarchical, then the narrower category is preferred. Both of these points are as close to actual policy as there is, and both suggest that the genera of Mydidae should be listed as Asiloidea genera rather than Brachycera genera, because Asiloidea genera is the most specific existing category into which they can be placed, and there are dozens of included genera so the category is an ideal size. All of the genera in Asilidae should be listed as "Asilidae genera", and all of the bombyliid genera should be in "Bombyliidae genera". That gives the best balance of category sizes and inclusiveness. Thanks. Dyanega (talk) 22:21, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi. You are apparently unaware of something EXTREMELY important. The Nomina Insecta Nearctica, by Poole & Gentili, ARBITRARILY synonymized every subspecies of every insect in North America simply for editorial convenience. They actively disclaimed their "synonymies" in the introduction to the work, and none of the new "synonymies" that appeared in that work were actual formal synonymies recognized by subsequent taxonomists. That work absolutely cannot be used as a reliable source for ANY taxonomic or nomenclatural information, accordingly. It is jam-packed with typos and other assorted errors, the errata filling several pages of text. Please, PLEASE do not refer to that work as a source, ever.

About Microsoma vicinum - that eminent entomologist, Professor Google, tells us that "Microsoma vicinum" has only two "G-hits", those being Microsoma and Microsoma vicinum.

Hi. You seem to be unaware that the Nomina Insecta Nearctica (by Poole & Gentili) says, in its introduction, that it refuses to recognize subspecies. They revised nothing, provided no formal taxonomic statements, they simply and arbitrarily deleted every subspecies of every insect in North America. For the present treatment of the genus, please read the linked revision by Van Dam (2010), in which acton has three subspecies. I assure you, with all earnestness, that Rhaphiomidas acton has three subspecies, recognized by all workers on the genus. Poole & Gentili is NOT a reliable source for any taxonomic information, as it is not - and was never intended to be - a taxonomic treatment. It is a list, and very badly-compiled one at that. I would very much appreciate it if, instead of engaing in an edit war, you would read the Van Dam revision, and restore the version of the R. acton article that correctly indicates there are three subspecies.
