Are you able to provide the same for Cypress Creek (Pagan River Tributary). I started both stubs/article, your editing already took Jones Creek article to leaps and bounds. Thanks. FrederickX (talk) 19:17, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply] Sure, I could definitely do that! Element10101 T ~ C 19:20, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply] Done. Element10101 T ~ C 19:30, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply] Awesome. Thanks Element10101. Much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrederickX (talk • contribs) Taxon parameter in taxoboxes Hi, please include |taxon= in taxoboxes. For example, I've added it to Ambercyclus. The taxobox largely works by picking up the page title, but the taxon parameter is needed for full functionality. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:42, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply] What do you mean by full functionality? Element10101 T ~ C 14:32, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply] For example, automatically italicizing the page title and taxobox header if they match the taxon name. Peter coxhead (talk) 05:46, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply] Ok. Thanks! Element10101 T ~ C 15:06, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

June 2025: Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Churches in Fauquier County, Virginia, grandparent_synonyms, Pending changes reviewer granted, June 2025

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Churches in Fauquier County, Virginia A tag has been placed on Category:Churches in Fauquier County, Virginia indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^Read! Talk! 19:36, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply] It can be deleted; there's no need for it right now since new info shows that the former sole page of the category was incorrectly placed there. Element10101 AIW WPI TOLT ~ C 19:40, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply] grandparent_synonyms I saw the note you left Idioporus (I moved it to the genus title following WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA) about trying to include a synonym for the family. There really isn't any standardized way to present synonyms at different ranks with a monotypic taxon (there definitely aren't any special taxobox parameters for synonyms at different ranks). You can find some examples of how other editors have dealt with genus and species synonyms in a monotypic genus with this search (note that the search is explicitly searching for "synonyms = Genus"; there are many more articles with genus+species synonyms that might present them in ways that the search won't pick up (e.g., using a template such as {{collapsible list}}). In the case of Idioporus, I think it is sufficient to just mention Idioporini the body of the article; trying to explain that Idioporini is a differently ranked synonym of Idioporidae in the synonyms parameter of the taxobox is just going to be awkward. Also, your use of "display_parents=2" wasn't doing anything. 2 ranks up was family, which always displays anyway, and any use of |grandparent_authority= automatically makes whatever is 2 ranks up display even if it wouldn't normally. I set display_parents to 5 in order to display all the ranks between family and order. Plantdrew (talk) 23:48, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply] Ok, thank you! I originally created the article for Idioporidae, but realized it was monotypic, so changed the page title to Idioporus affinis without fixing the {{{display_parents}}} parameter.

July 2025: A beer for you!, Page moves, Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Taxa named by Anthony J. Cobos, Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Taxa named by Matthew L. Murdoch, Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Taxa named by Hayden R. Davis

A beer for you! Your contribution is much appreciated. Nice work on all the articles. Pasados (talk) 16:45, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply] Page moves WP:COMMONNAME does not mean "move an article about an organism to a title that is not its scientific name", and it absolutely doesn't mean "move an article about an organism to ANY title that is not its scientific name". COMMONNAME says Wikipedia "generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources)". For most organisms, there isn't any English common name/vernacular name. Most organisms that have a vernacular name have more than one (with some of those being coined by biologists by translating a scientific name into English, but never used by the general public). There are a very small number of organisms that have a single vernacular name that is well recognized by the general public. Counts of search engine reported results (a WP:GOOGLETEST) are pretty flawed, but in my experience, they overreport counts for vernacular names more than they do for scientific names. Vernacular names mentioned in Wikipedia articles about organisms may not include all of the vernacular names, nor indicate which are most commonly used. Based on an inherently flawed GOOGLETEST, Silurus meridionalis is probably better known as Chinese large-mouth catfish than Yangtze catfish, the title you had moved it to, but is not generally known by any vernacular name over the scientific name. And Podarcis virescens would probably be better known as green Iberian wall lizard than Geniez's wall lizard (a straight translation of the scientific name that is less descriptive of its range and color). Please stop moving articles on organisms from their scientific names. If you think COMMONNAME favors vernacular name title for organisms (please look at WP:PRECISION and WP:CONSISTENT), do some research to determine what vernacular name might be the COMMONNAME.

Template:Skinks

Do you intend to use this template on articles? I am considering nominating for deletion since it is unused and why is the sandbox containing the proper navbox layout instead of the main page? WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:37, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was developing it in the sandbox, but while I was developing it, I became inactive on Wikipedia for quite a few weeks, and thus why I have not edited it since. If you want to delete it, I can move the sandbox version into my userspacec. element 21:02, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would encourage you to do that to move it into your userspace and then you can tag it for speedy deletion. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:53, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll do that. element 15:54, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
