Hello! I'm Snugglyaggron, or just Snugs for short, he/they pronouns. I'm enthusiastic about fish, mostly. You'll probably see me dredging up obscure fish species that need articles. I'm particularly partial to the West Indian Ocean coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), but the coelacanth page is doing perfectly alright on its own. Currently, I'm focused on a bunch of neotropical characiformes. (Check "Projects" below for details.)

Go check out my buddy Lumpsucker, too! He's also making pages for species that don't have them, but with even less information than the ones I'm working with. That takes some dedication.

(For anyone from an external source looking to verify my identity, I also go by N.F. in professional settings.)

Projects

edit

Current

edit
  • Species of Asytanax (In progress; 26 complete)
    • There are 124 recognized species in this genus, and maybe 5 of them have pages. This is the kind of project that gets me salivating.

Planned

edit

Fishes

edit
  • Chalceidae, Chalceus, and correlated species pages (Add information and citations)
    • I created and overhauled most of these, but I did that before I really found an editing style that works for me. These ones are a little shaky.
  • Colletti tetra, Moenkhausia collettii (Create)
    • Encountered in my pursuit of other small fishes.
  • Red-spotted tetra, Copeina guttata (Overhaul)
    • Encountered in my pursuit of other small fishes.
  • Ulrey's tetra, Hemigrammus ulreyi (Overhaul)
    • Encountered in my pursuit of other small fishes.
  • Ring-tailed cardinalfish, Ostorhinchus aureus (Add information)
    • Has 21 citations, which is likely more than enough to expand several of these headers.
  • Neotropical fish (Overhaul)
    • We know a lot about the Neotropical region and the fish that live there. Why is this page only two paragraphs long?
  • Paedocypris progenetica (Add information and citations)
    • One of the most MAXIMUM little fellas out there. Everyone needs to know more about this one.
  • Pyramid butterflyfish (Hemitaurichthys polylepis)
    • The pyramid butterflyfish is relatively well-known, all things considered. This page could use an upgrade.
  • Coelacanth (Add information and citations)
    • This page is already really solid on its own, but I recently finished reading a book I'd like to cite. ("Living Fossil: the Story of the Coelacanth" by Keith S. Thomson, if you're curious. It's from 1991, so it's a little outdated, but the majority of the information is still good.)
  • Indonesian coelacanth (Latimeria menadoensis) (Add information and citations)
    • The only other living species of coelacanth! My favorite is still L. chalumnae, but this fella needs some more support.

Plants

edit
  • Lost sunflower, Helianthus praetermissus (Overhaul)
    • This one is also called the New Mexico Sunflower, and I know some botany folks from New Mexico that I'm quite fond of, so I'm interested in fleshing this one out for personal reasons. I don't usually do plants, but I want this page to be bigger.
  • Beach bird's eye, Alectryon coriaceus (Overhaul)
    • It seems like there's more info available about this thing than is on its page. Can't remember how I came across this one, and I'm not usually a plants guy, but it wouldn't hurt to mix up my repertoire.

Creepy-crawlies

edit
  • Cave insect (Add citations)
    • It's good that there's a sturdy-looking page for a fascinating set of animals, but there are basically zero inline citations on this thing.
  • Parasitic flatworms (flukes), Monogenea (Add citations)
    • We know a lot about flukes, actually. Why does this page only have 7 citations?
  • Pheidole (Add information and citations)
    • It seems like we know a lot more about this genus than is given on its page.
  • Lake Pedder earthworm (Hypolimnus pedderensis) (Add information and citations)
    • It never really occurred to me that an earthworm could go extinct, especially an oversized one, and yet here we are. I find myself enthralled by it.
  • Lumbricus badensis (Overhaul)
    • Another huge earthworm species. Sir, why are you so large?

Other Animals

edit
  • Macropus titan (Add information and citations)
    • BIG DUDE. Also, the debate regarding its validity as a species is fascinating to me.
  • Southern masked weaver (Ploceus velatus) (Add information and citations)
    • Cute and fascinating species. Its page is currently alright, but lacking in some basic aspects, including citations.
  • Dorcopsis (Overhaul)
    • Definitely some of the shaped animals ever. I think people should learn more about them.

Places

edit
  • Caura River (Venezuela) (Add information and citations)
    • I've come across some hunks of info about the Caura while researching fish, so I have some stuff in my back pocket.
  • The Gully (Atlantic) (Overhaul)
    • I love weirdo underwater formations. Why in the hell doesn't this one have more info?

People & Medicine

edit
  • Michael Woodmansee (Copyedit and add citations)
    • I don't usually do people, but the journalistic framing and unnecessary dramatization in some sections gets to me. The case itself is horrible enough without exaggeration, so we should let the facts speak for themselves. Also, the citations suck.
  • Sequestrum (Overhaul)
    • Now, I'm not a medical kind of guy, but I don't think bone is supposed to do that. Despite being unpleasant to think about, it is fascinating. Might add information regarding specific diseases that cause sequestra, like phossy jaw (which is a remarkable disease, in the negative sense).

Previous

edit
  • Chalceidae (Created)
  • Chalceus (Overhauled)
  • All species of Chalceus (5 Created)
    • Started my current editing "career" (if you could call it that) with the pinktail chalceus (C. macrolepidotus) because it was in a video game I like (Endless Ocean: Blue World), and I noticed it didn't have a page.
  • Iguanodectidae and Iguanodectinae (Created)
    • I was looking over the page for Characidae and noticed that this family and subfamily were mentioned, but didn't have pages. Most of the other characins and former characins did, so I took matters into my own hands. (Including the genera therein.)
  • Bryconops (Overhauled)
  • All species of Bryconops (27 Created)
  • Iguanodectes (Expanded)
  • All species of Iguanodectes (8 Created)
  • Piabucus (Overhauled)
  • All species of Piabucus (3 Created)
  • Ergasilus curticrus (Created)
    • Found this one during creation of Bryconops giacopinii. It seems weird that practically none of the hundreds of species of ergasilids have individual pages.
  • Robust ghost pipefish, Solenostomus cyanopterus (Overhauled)
    • I'm a huge fan of weird-shaped fish, so I was very glad to expand a lot of this fella's page. Tackled it one afternoon while taking a break from species of Astyanax.
  • Saint Helena hoopoe, Upupa antaios (Overhauled)
    • Came across this extinct fella while reading through the page about toxic birds, which led me to hoopoes and then this species in particular. The page was short, but had some solid citations, so I took those and ran with 'em. (And added more.)
