Thanks and sorry! (The Way of St Andrews)

Hi Interzoo,

Thanks for your help and sorry for not being on the ball. Still getting used to the whole Wikipedia process. Going to email Hugh now to get the photo permission and next time I make any changes will leave a note so you (and any other Editors) can see why changes have been made. All of the most recent edits are Hugh's requests after proofreading and a re-entering a whole section that seemed to go missing. I've also asked him for more detailed references so hopefully that will be updated again soon too!

Thanks again, Nicola 15:34, 10 November 2013‎ User:Nicolahancock (talk) [1]

Howdy Susan! Can I ask you a big favor? I'm working on this article, aiming for a DYK and then possibly GA. The amount of text is considerable, and the prose needs much improvement... Can you help me out? =) Best wishes, -Daniel Cavallari (talk) 17:45, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey Daniel, Yes of course I will go through the prose in the article, no problem. I will make a first-go-through on it either later this afternoon or this evening. Best to you too, Invertzoo (talk) 18:34, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

This evening I started late and only got about halfway through the article on the first go-round. I will work on it again tomorrow morning. :) Invertzoo (talk) 02:45, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

I completed my first go-through. There were one or two places where I did not quite understand what you were saying. I may have to ask you about those later. Also please as you go through the article again after I have worked on it, do check carefully to make sure I did not accidentally change the meaning anywhere. Best, Invertzoo (talk) 14:28, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

~~It would be really nice to have a photo of the outside of the museum or the entrance?~~ Invertzoo (talk) 14:29, 15 November 2013 (UTC) Ha! already done! :) Invertzoo (talk) 15:08, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Susan, you did an amazing job! I always check your corrections in detail so I can learn from them. Everything is OK! The text looks very good a reads very well... I think it's ready for the DYK I have in mind. Thank you very much! I hope it wasn't too much trouble... -Daniel Cavallari (talk) 15:53, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

It is always a great pleasure to work with you or your writing Daniel. The article is now more than ready for a DYK. I will however go through the text again, but you just go ahead and do what you need to do. Just one thing: there was a 194? in the article somewhere because the year got accidentally deleted, but I think you already found that... Also as you saw, I changed "currently" to "2013" so the article will not get out of date quickly. I had to take out many uses of the word "harbors" because that verb is unfortunately used just for negative things, not positive things. Nice job on the article by the way! Excellent job!

Hello

you're welcome. I am kind of into classifying unclassified life organisms. My obssesion began when I found out that my Language (the Arabic Language) has no names for many of the recently discovered or (made famous) animals and plants (using poorly translated Foreign names instead).So I began searching Arabic books (old and new) for names and classifications and when I find one I always try to link it to an existing English article or make a new one in English, because English is the language of Science (and I love it). I'll try to do my best in helping with the Gastropods project even though I don't have that much of resources on the matter.

Thanks for the invitation and for fixing the article.

Best Regards,

Morula ferruginosa

Latest comment: 10 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I noticed the anomaly concerned with Morula ferruginosa that you also noticed. When I wikilinked that it arrived at Morula nodulosa which is clearly incorrect and as you say, is a Caribbean and Atlantic species. WoRMS is no help because it does not mention M ferruginosa even as a synonym of something else. It does however mention Ricinula ferruginosa Reeve, 1846 as a synonym of Morula (Morula) nodulosa (C. B. Adams, 1845). However, I have found a number of sites such as this that do, showing it as a Pacific species. And this site mentions it as ''Morula ferruginosa (Reeve 1846). Its a mystery to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:53, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Cwmhiraeth. Yes, I found the same things that you found; it is quite confusing! If I can find the time I will email a friend of mine who might be able to have a clearer sense of what is going on with this taxon. Invertzoo (talk) 20:32, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

OK. I heard back from my friend Harry Lee, who said this:

"It appears that Ricinula ferruginosa Reeve (1846): sp. 50 http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/41734#page/464/mode/1up

http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/41734#page/466/mode/1up

is NOT that species of authors including Keen, and so maybe Trachypollia nodulosa (C.B. Adams, 1845) is a senior synonym, as some people are saying.

As Myra Keen 1971 doesn't list a synonym for the Panamic taxon, maybe someone needs to coin a replacement name."

As for what we should do about all this, I don't know!

Best, Invertzoo (talk) 19:15, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you

Ophiocomina nigra

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi, I was just editing this species when I saw that the photograph : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocomina_nigra is not that species at all, but Amphipholis squamata. I can change the picture, but is it possible to correct the identification in wikimedia as it is used in several places? BernardP (talk) 20:01, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Bernard. I really don't know a lot about brittle stars, but are you quite sure of the suggested second identification? The images I find online of A. squamata don't look like that image -- the "fringes" on the arms are much shorter, and the stars usually seem to be pale. But the images of O. nigra seem to show stars that are a brownish-black with longer "fringes", a bit more like the image we have.

In any case, the description of the image on the Wikimedia Commons page is very easily changed; I can do that. In this case the actual title of the file does not need to be changed, but when that is the case, it has to be by someone who has more rights on Commons than I have. I am going away in about a week and am a bit busy now preparing for that trip, so maybe you should talk to User:JoJan about this. Invertzoo (talk) 20:56, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
