Autopatrolled?

Hi Ipscaij, I noticed that you create large batches of articles at once. Have you considered becoming an autopatroled? user? I think you'd qualify. Just an idea- Ryan shell (talk) 11:27, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Ipscaij, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Elli (talk | contribs) 22:01, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

WikiProject

Hi Ipscaij, when you make your articles, can you add the WikiProject of associated countries/continents? Folks in those WikiProjects might be interested/have more to add. Thanks, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 02:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

@Classicwiki I see. Will try to do so from now on! Ipscaij (talk) 02:36, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! If you do not already use it, RATER is a great tool for adding WikiProjects to talk pages. Happy editing! --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 02:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

When there is a manageable number of countries, it is better to put the WikiProject of those specific countries (if they exist) rather than continental projects. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

For categories, might be best to go with Beetles of Continent and Fauna of Country. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:40, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

{{taxonbar}}

This template requires one of two things to work, though we prefer if both are used:

1. at least one from parameter with a valid QID
2. Wikidata entry that has a link back to the en-wiki article.

- UtherSRG (talk) 10:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I have been meaning to add QIDs to those observations later on as they didn't have Wikidata pages (which I started doing later with newer articles today).

Do you know any tools to assist the process? I don't find wikidata so straightforward unfortunately, with adding new entries and then filling in each field Ipscaij (talk) 10:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not the best, tool-wise. There's a tool to duplicate an entry so that you can just change the needed fields, but that's nearly as much work as creating a fresh new entry. I tend to have a whole row of tabs open to various databases while I create an entry. I've been thinking of writing a web page that will search dozens of databases and return all of the valid finds to make it easier... - UtherSRG (talk) 10:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Also I do not know why but some pages don't display Taxonbar template properly (it isn't visible), probably linked to newly created Wikidata entries. This article currently, as an example - Anthrenus narani. QID is linked, Wikidata item exists and I don't know if I did something wrong. Hmm, maybe because it is missing additional properties linking to GBIF, iNaturalist for example..? Ipscaij (talk) 10:25, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

It shows for me. But yes, it needs at least one "taxon ID" entry, such as GBIF, iNat, etc, before it will show up. But also yes, it takes a minute or so sometimes for the data to trickle through, especially if the "don't show" processing was already triggered on the article before the IDs were added to the Wikidata entry. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Seems like that's because I added one of those IDs, so that was indeed the issue. Anyway, thank you for leaving the messages Ipscaij (talk) 10:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

YW! And I should have waited... I hadn't realized you were in the middle of making the edits... I just saw the first one (in the complex) and assumed the rest were also from hours ago. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Anthrenus liliputianus

You created this page. Is this a typo of Anthrenus liliputanus? 122.56.85.105 (talk) 23:04, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

The name is taken from there: https://dermestidae.wz.cz/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Subfamily-Megatominae.pdf#page=23

Additionally same name is displayed here: http://www.dermestidae.com/Abbildungen.html (Ctrl+F to find)

I haven't looked deep into it but it shows as if Anthrenus liliputanus is a synonym for Anthrenus liliputianus.

Anthrenus liliputianus Mulsant & Rey, 1868

Anthrenus liliputanus: Dalla Torre, 1911

perhaps it's a misspelling (or alternative spelling?) in literature that appears later in time Ipscaij (talk) 11:17, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

It is "Anthrenus liliputianus" in the original description. I have updated the page with the paper - Anthrenus_liliputianus#cite_note-Mulsant_&_Rey_1868-1 Ipscaij (talk) 11:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
