Welcome to Wikispecies!

Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

• Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
• Templates are there to help you to follow our syntax and formatting standards.
• Have a look at Done and to do.

If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome! Lycaon 20:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Adding subgenera and other levels

Hi there,

A couple of things.

One: We have a different template for subgenera for plants. It is Template:Subgplant.

Two: If you are going to add levels, you need to fill them in. E.g. in Deschampsia you should create the page for the subgenus and the species would appear there.

Thanks. --Open2universe | Talk 14:31, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Subgenera

Why don't you make subgenera? It is easy to make them C. subg. Acanthaceae –. Then the species C. A. subsp. burchellii –. If you fill them with authors then it is Chaetacantus (Acanthaceae) and Chaetacantus (Acanthacea) burchellii. If there are questions you can ask me.

Regards,

Chaetacanthus

By Chaetacanthus (Acanthaceae). Normaly means (Acanthaceae) a subgenus from Chaetacanthus. But maybe here it have an other function?

Regards,

PeterR 08:25, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Chaetacanthus

You did it correct. But if you make a Taxonavigation then the second word have to end with
, because otherwise the third word comes not under the second.

{{Subfamilia}} Tribus: Tribus
Genera: Genus1 – Genus2

Regards,

Species

Why don't you fill the species?

Plant species data

Hello,
I've noticed you're creating many plant pages. While it is very nice, why don't you use a more proper source like this one? Just type in the genus name and select "search", and you shall get a very nice list including proper references. You'll get a line like:

Loranthaceae Arthraxon amplexifolium Tiegh. -- Bull. Soc. Bot. France 42: 353. 1895 (IK)

This line includes the original publication where the author defined the particular species, including numbers of issue and page (the publication name is abbreviated). from this data you can construct the following scientific references:

== Name ==
''Arthraxon amplexifolium'' [[Tiegh.]]

== References ==
* {{aut|Phillippe Édouard Léon van Tieghem}}, 1895: ''Bull. Soc. Bot. France'' '''42''': 353.
* {{aut|The International Plant Names Index}} [http://www.ipni.org/ipni/idPlantNameSearch.do?id=547951-1&back_page=%2Fipni%2FeditAdvPlantNameSearch.do%3Ffind_infragenus%3D%26find_isAPNIRecord%3Dtrue%26find_geoUnit%3D%26find_includePublicationAuthors%3Dtrue%26find_addedSince%3D%26find_family%3D%26find_genus%3DArthraxon%26find_sortByFamily%3Dtrue%26find_isGCIRecord%3Dtrue%26find_infrafamily%3D%26find_rankToReturn%3Dall%26find_publicationTitle%3D%26find_authorAbbrev%3D%26find_infraspecies%3D%26find_includeBasionymAuthors%3Dtrue%26find_modifiedSince%3D%26find_isIKRecord%3Dtrue%26find_species%3D%26output_format%3Dnormal Arthraxon amplexifolium].
 

It's a little bit more work, but the result looks much more professional!

In addition to what you have (correctly) written, do this:

1. Press on "Schwantes" at the Carruanthus page at ipni.org. You get: "Schwantes, Martin Heinrich Gustav"
2. Press on the "J.Bot" you get: "Journal of Botany, British and Foreign. London"
3. Now you can compose the following reference for the Carruanthus:

* {{aut|Schwantes, Martin Heinrich Gustav}}, 1928: ''Journal of Botany, British and Foreign. London'', '''66''': 325

I hope you understand me now...

Mariusm 12:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, for Chasmatophyllum you made a very good reference, just instead of the "" on the publication name, write a double ' (put the text in italics form). Keep on with your good work!

Familia Themidaceae

The familia Themidaceae isn't generally recognized. Look here for the official classification of Angiosperms. This familia doesn't appear there. (It is a segregation from the familia Asparagaceae). Mariusm 06:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Two doubts -- Reply

Hello,

1. The lily family Liliaceae used to be historically a paraphyletic group that included a great number of genera now transfered to other familiae. The modern taxonomy separated Liliaceae into the present groups, so the correct familia for Amaryllis is Amaryllidaceae and not Liliaceae! We sould rely on Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's APG II classification system, which assigns Amaryllis to Amaryllidaceae.
2. The disambiguation page Amaryllis is confusing as it is. The line Amaryllis (Liliopsida : Liliaceae) should better be deleted.
3. You may include a note in the discussion page of Amaryllis saying: "Formerly included in the Liliaceae familia"

About Abaphus

Hello,

The genera names Abapus and Abaphus are obsolete!
Abapus is a synonym of Gethyllis L.
Abaphus is an invalid replacement name for Abapus.

For a list of valid names and synonyms of the Amaryllidaceae please look here

Mariusm 10:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

The problem with the site http://data.gbif.org is they list also all the synonyms! It it a good source for references, but a confusing one for a list of genera or species. For the Amaryllidaceae the best site I think is http://www.amaryllidaceae.org . (In french). Just click on a genus and in the section "Espèces" you'll see all the species and authors for the genus.

Mariusm 16:14, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Do not use http://www.ipni.org/ for species and genera lists !!!!!

Hello,

I Looked again at http://www.ipni.org/ and noticed that they list there all the synonyms. You can see it is a synonym in the section Original Data: Notes: = ... . So please don't use http://www.ipni.org/ as a source for species and genera names! Use it only for references !

For example: They list the species Amaryllis africana, but it is just a synonym of Lycoris aurea. They write Notes: = Lycoris aurea. So please be very careful!!!

Mariusm 06:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

No, please don't do it this way! You have to write the genera synonyms not at the familia page, but at the respective genus page.

For exaple: Acrocorion is a synonym of Galanthus, so in the Galanthus page write the synonym of Acrocorion, and don't forget to make a REDIRECT in the Acrocorion page to the Galanthus page like this: #REDIRECT [[Galanthus]]

RE:About Amaryllis and Crinum aquaticum

It's interesting that there indeed was a big dispute among botanists between the names Hippeastrum equestre and Amaryllis belladonna (look here for the history of it. Now tha accepted name is Amaryllis belladonna. The site http://www.ipni.org/ isn't allways reliable about which is the real synonym, so don't rely on it blindly.

About Crinum aquaticum it indeed has two confusing records at http://www.ipni.org/ but "Crinum aquaticum Herb." has no reference, so I suppose the correct redirect would be to Crinum campanulatum...

The disambiguation pages are not intended for synonyms, so this isn't the right solution! Just choose one of them (the one with the most recent date).

Botany isn't an easy science ... Mariusm 14:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Amaryllis should be only 2 species: Amaryllis belladonna and Amaryllis paradisicola. All the rest are synonyms, and must be deleted from the Amaryllis page. Mariusm 05:21, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

RE:Cytisus scoparius x dallimorei

• The correct taxonomic name must be Cytisus x dallimorei with the author being Rolfe and not Cytisus scoparius x dallimorei, so please change accordingly the page name & hybrid name.
• At the genus page you have to write:
  • Species: Cytisus - multiflorus - striatus ....
  • Hybrids: Cytisus x dallimorei - Cytisus x praecox - Cytisus x kewensis .....
• No need for species name in the hybrid page.
• The correct name is "Hybrid" and not "Hibryd".
• Write the cultivers as: Cultivers: Lena - Lilac Time - Minstead (Munstead) - William Dallimore

RE:Boophone

The familia Alliaceae can be treated in two ways, both legal: sensu lato, where in includes the genera in Agapanthaceae and Amaryllidaceae and sensu stricto. Both ways are OK, but the taxonomists' majority prefer the sensu stricto. Because genetically these familiae are sufficiently different to keep them apart, I suggest Amaryllidaceae would be the better choise. Mariusm 15:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Narcissus

Estimado Digigalos. Mi nombre es Alfredo Barra y llevo unos cuantos años trabajando en la taxonomía del género Narcissus. Estoy sorprendido por los cambios nomenclaturales que has hecho en alguna de las fotos que he subido a Commons. También por el tratamiento que das a las especies. No entiendo lo de N. hispanicus; las pesquisas que yo hice me llevaron a la conclusión de que la planta de Gouan era la forma concolor de N. bicolor. Si has hecho alguna averiguación que lo contradiga, me gustaría conocerla. Bueno, nada más de momento. No sé si te llegará mi mensaje, porque te mandé otro hace una hora y un administrador me lo borró, no sé porqué. Un saludo. --Cillas 09:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Hola Digigalos. A propósito de N. x litigiosus, he revisado la publicación original y no hay razones para pensar que sea una especie híbrida, al menos Amo no la describe como tal. El INPI lo cita así, pero ya les he mandado un correo para que lo rectifiquen; ellos mismos afirman que no han visto el protólogo. Lo que no consigo es quitar el símbolo x en el nombre de la página. ¿Te importaría hacerlo tú si sabes cómo? Gracias y un saludo.--Cillas 09:06, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Request for comment

There is presently a [discussion on the use of daggers to denote extinct taxa. This will affect a large portion of the pages in wikispecies as the project grows so if possible please read the contributions so far and comment. Thanks --Kevmin 06:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Tribus

Just for the record, please use the spelling tribus in your templates, not tribu. Tribus is the nominative singular form. [for taxonavigation] Epibase 12:02, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Digigalos. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Digigalos~specieswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
