DYK for Diaphoretickes

[edit]

On 26 August 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Diaphoretickes, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the name of Diaphoretickes, a group containing a huge diversity of organisms including plants and kelps, is derived from a Greek word meaning diverse? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Diaphoretickes. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Diaphoretickes), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Disambiguation

[edit]

Hi there! I wanted to let you know I recently undid your move and disambiguation for Agarum. List items on disambiguation pages need at least one blue link. At present, the genus Agarum doesn't have an associated blue link, so it's inappropriate for a disambiguation page list item. If you want to create the genus page, feel free to do so, then you can create the disambiguation. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 18:48, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Significa liberdade I was already in the process of creating the genus page, so I will do the move again. But you should probably know that this disambiguation page is not unique; I have come across many genus disambiguation pages that only have one blue link. Sometimes, not even any blue links. — Snoteleks (talk) 18:56, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the disambiguation pages only have one linked page, they should be deleted or redirected per my understanding of MOS:DABNOLINK. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:04, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Significa liberdade I think you're not necessarily wrong on doing this, but MOS:DAB also states "Do not create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or are likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics." Per WP:SPECIES, accepted genera (such as Agarum here) are presumed to be notable, therefore someone is in the future likely to make the red link blue. I still think it's a good thing that you acted on it, since it incentivices editors to turn those red links blue. — Snoteleks (talk) 19:32, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Later in that same section (MOS:DABRED), the guideline states, "Red links should not be the only link in a given entry". As such, you would need to include another link. We also do not have a Wikipedia page for the family, so it wouldn't make sense to include that link either. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:44, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Significa liberdade Ah, now I understand. That makes sense. And thank you for re-creating the DAB. — Snoteleks (talk) 20:03, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No problem! Thanks for creating the genus article! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 20:13, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I need your help

[edit]

Hi! I need your help: In the Asgard archaea page, you see the phylogeny with the Eukaryota, right? For that phylogeny, I tried to show "Ca. Heimdallarchaeia" as paraphyletic (it contains the orders "Ca. Wenzhongarchaeales," "Ca. Hodarchaeales", "Ca. Gerdarchaeales" and "Ca. Heimdallarchaeales" using the |grouplabelN= feature, but it didn't work. When I try it, the "Ca. Heimdallarchaeia" doesn't appear as containing the order "Ca. Hodarchaeales". Can you do it for me? Jako96 (talk) 07:23, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jako96 Yes, I can help. What's the reference for the cladogram exactly? — Snoteleks (talk) 13:07, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! That's the reference about "Ca. Heimdallarchaeia" for the cladogram. Jako96 (talk) 13:12, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 I don't understand, you said Heimdallarchaeia is paraphyletic but in figure 3 it's monophyletic, am I missing something? — Snoteleks (talk) 15:58, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Check extended data fig. 5a. It's at the bottom of the page. Jako96 (talk) 16:10, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 If I understand correctly, you want the bottom part of the left hand cladogram to look like this:
"Ca. Heimdallarchaeia"
Peter coxhead (talk) 16:34, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes! But I'd prefer green. Also, I'd want a wikilink on "Ca. Heimdallarchaeia". Jako96 (talk) 17:29, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Peter coxhead @Snoteleks So, will you do this for me? As I said I couldn't do it, for some reason everytime I try the "Hodarchaeales" gets excluded. Jako96 (talk) 11:38, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sorry for the delay, I have had some troubling weeks. Let me know if the new edit is satisfactory @Jako96. — Snoteleks (talk) 15:03, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I did some changes too. Jako96 (talk) 15:33, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, what I meant in this edit's summary is that in the left phylogeny, if taxa's subgroups are not shown then that means that either they are monotypic or don't have any subgroups. For example "Heimdallarchaeales" order is not monotypic, it contains two families and they should be shown, just like the articles cited for the phylogeny. Jako96 (talk) 15:39, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Podiata

[edit]

I'm pretty sure that Podiata is monophyletic with solid support, and you also used it in your cladogram collection. Do you think we should add this clade to the automated taxobox system? Jako96 (talk) 15:46, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jako96 I think so, yes, especially after the Torruella et al. 2025 paper (doi:10.1016/j.cub.2024.10.075). — Snoteleks (talk) 18:48, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nice! Then, can you support me in this discussion? Jako96 (talk) 19:21, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, does Adl et al. themselves say that they only use taxa with formal description? If so, we can just rank their diatom "-phytina" clades as subphyla. Jako96 (talk) 19:23, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 We should not make such decisions until there's a solid, cohesive ochrophyte classification. Chrysista and Diatomista can be interpreted as subphyla themselves, too. There is just not enough consensus of anything for us to decide on any ranks for ochrophyte clades. — Snoteleks (talk) 21:39, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I just found this: Adl et al. states that their taxonomy follows ICN in their article. See Acknowledgments section. They say "This revision reflects numerous advances in the phylogeny of the diatoms over the last decade. Due to our poor taxon sampling outside of the Mediophyceae and pennate diatoms, and the known and anticipated diversity of all diatoms, many clades appear at a high classification level (and the higher level classification is rather flat). Nomenclature follows the botanical code (ICN). Some of the basal nodes will probably become better resolved in the future, and would permit additional subdivisions. The genera are provided as examples only, and are far from complete lists." That means we should use subphyla and classes for their clades. This would not be OR. I think we should make such a decision because this is the way that Adl et al. proposed these taxa. Jako96 (talk) 20:07, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 None of the eukaryotic codes of nomenclature regulate ranks above family. All the ICN has are provisions, recommendations, etc. and, since Adl et al. does not explicitly use ranks for these (and in fact, Sina Adl himself does not believe ranks should match the suffixes), we cannot in good faith assume taxon rank off of the name suffix. We can however assume they are simply clades. This is also beneficial for another reason: it does not conflict with previous classifications where Diatomista is explicitly described as an infra- or subphylum and Ochrophyta as a phylum. — Snoteleks (talk) 20:19, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for your answer. Also, what do you think about using the class Raphidophyceae instead of the subclass Raphidophycidae? We would just use an unranked Raphopoda instead of subclass. Jako96 (talk) 20:49, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 It is true that now consensus points towards Raphidophyceae being a class independent from actinophryids. Raphopoda comes from an older hypothesis where actinophryids plus Commation (Raphopoda) are the sister group to Raphidophyceae (Raphidophycidae), together forming Raphidomonadea. This hypothesis was only supported by T. Cavalier-Smith and his team, and it's more and more disproven each year. Ideally, Raphidophyceae should be the child of Chrysista in our taxobox system, and both Raphopoda and Raphidomonadea should be stated as obsolete taxa. However, Raphopoda should remain as a subclass, not a clade, since it was never proven to be a clade. — Snoteleks (talk) 21:16, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GA backlog drive

[edit]

Hello Snoteleks! I noticed you've got an impressive 14 good articles, quite a feat. We’re currently in the middle of a review backlog drive, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to help a hand. You’ve already reviewed a few articles (thank you!), and if you’re willing to take on a few more, it would really help keep the process moving, especially given how many people helped review your nominations. Thanks in advance! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 06:49, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Femke I was actually considering doing that, thanks for the reminder. I have been too busy for wikipedia lately but as soon as I get back I will try to do some reviews myself. — Snoteleks (talk) 07:13, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Neocalyptrella

[edit]

How should we classify Neocalyptrella that is in the family Rhizosoleniaceae? It's not mentioned in Adl et al., and Rhizosolenia from the family Rhizosoleniaceae is moved to the new Rhizosoleniophytina in their classification. Jako96 (talk) 09:45, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jako96 A recent analysis from 2021 places Neocalyptrella as incertae sedis within the Mediophyceae class. Unfortunately there is a lot of missing phylogenetic information for diatoms. — Snoteleks (talk) 11:24, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. Adl et al. moved a lot of genera like this from one higher taxon to another. How should all these higher taxa's genera classified? We could just classify the remaining genera within them, but not sure. Jako96 (talk) 12:50, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 It's a disorganized mess, we will have to search on a case by case basis for each genus in the literature. I did some searching and it seems that Rhizosoleniophytina is accepted as monotypic down to the family level: two other sources claim it only has one class Rhizosoleniophyceae, one order Rhizosoleniales, one family Rhizosoleniaceae, which includes several genera ([1], [2]). I'll try to update the Protist classification accordingly. — Snoteleks (talk) 15:05, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nice! Other sources also agree on ranking Adl et al.'s new diatom clades. I found a lot of other sources such as: https://doi.org/10.3390/d16110690, https://micronesica.org/sites/default/files/lobbanwitkowski2023.pdf, https://doi.org/10.3390/d17010034 and https://theses.hal.science/tel-04496021/. I just couldn't find a source that ranks the taxa Leptocylindrophytina, Leptocylindrophyceae and Corethrophyceae. By the way, could you check this source for me if you have access to it? It may be ranking Leptocylindrophyceae and Corethrophyceae according to my Google Scholar results. Jako96 (talk) 21:49, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 I do have access to that ref, I couldn't find any classification, there's only mentions of Leptocylindrophyceae and Corethrophyceae in image captions. I can email it to you if you want — Snoteleks (talk) 09:52, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So they don't mention a rank, okay. Thanks, you don't have to send it to me, then. By the way, I updated Rhizosoleniophytina's taxonomy accordingly for taxonomy templates. Jako96 (talk) 13:03, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 Wonderful. But why is there a speedy deletion tag at Rhizosoleniophytina? — Snoteleks (talk) 13:09, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I didn't create an article for Rhizosoleniophytina, I just added taxonomy templates. However, I did create a redirect at Rhizosoleniophytina that redirected to Rhizosoleniophycidae, but that page's taxonomy was obsolete, so I requested a speedy deletion. Jako96 (talk) 14:24, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You shouldn't have created that redirect again, because the order Rhizosoleniales also contains the family Pyxillaceae. Jako96 (talk) 17:51, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 Seriously? Jeez... I'll do more searching. Thanks for telling me — Snoteleks (talk) 17:54, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, you're welcome. And now, you should request a speedy deletion. Jako96 (talk) 18:33, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I redirected it to Rhizosoleniophycidae because they are synonyms, but I do think that you should still request a speedy deletion. If you don't want that, I can just create a stub article. Jako96 (talk) 19:18, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This article is also by Park et al., the same authors who mentioned Rhizosoleniophytina in their paper. In this paper, they use the subphylum Melosirophytina and add some taxa to it, but they also used a subclass Melosirophycidae that doesn't belong to any class. Should we use it? By the way, they also did this one time in their paper that mentioned Rhizosoleniophytina, but they also used the class Rhizosoleniophyceae in that paper. Jako96 (talk) 20:18, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 Frankly no idea. I can find no paper where there's a Melosirophyceae class, so I think we are going to be left without a class-level taxon for these organisms for now. Adl et al. must have preemptively set a taxon above class, expecting that others will take responsibility for developing the lower classification, but nobody has yet. I hope it's not for very long, because Melosirales is polyphyletic as seen here doi:10.1073/pnas.2500153122, so taxonomists should fix it soon. — Snoteleks (talk) 20:34, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I remember that paper. Then, we should not follow Park et al.'s Melosirophytina paper because Adl et al.'s Melosirophytina is already monophyletic. You preferred Adl et al.'s classification because of cladistics, right? Jako96 (talk) 18:33, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, if we are gonna countinue this way, then we should use it, because Rhizosoleniales is also polyphyletic. Jako96 (talk) 18:49, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They also use the subclass Rhizosoleniophycidae instead of the class Rhizosoleniophyceae in that paper, so we should also do that as that paper is more recent of theirs. So, what do you think? Jako96 (talk) 18:53, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 Yes I agree. We should explain somewhere that there is no class described yet, and that authors use the preexisting subclass instead until a class is described. — Snoteleks (talk) 19:15, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I updated some more templates. Can you check these papers for me to see if there are classifications in them? https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-65712-6_5 and https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-39212-3_2. Jako96 (talk) 19:53, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 Both sources only discuss diatom classification at a very superficial level. The first one (which is the same book you linked earlier) goes on to say just one paragraph about it, saying: Diatom classification is still under discussion. The classification of Round et al. (1990) regarded the diatoms as a phylum (Bacillariophyta) which they split into three classes, Coscinodiscophyceae, Fragilariophyceae, and Bacillariophyceae. These classes are readily identifiable by their cellular and valve organization (Mann et al. 2017). The Fragilariophyceae (araphid pennates) and Bacillariophyceae (raphid pennates) together comprised the pennate diatoms, the Coscinodiscophyceae comprised more or less all the centric diatoms. Several modern textbooks still follow that classification, e.g. Graham et al. (2016). Unfortunately, the system of Round et al. (1990) cannot be kept anymore as the two classes Fragilariophyceae and Coscinodiscophyceae were found paraphyletic in molecular systematics, and, therefore, the three-class system apparently does not capture the essential features of diatom evolution (Mann et al. 2017). Despite subsequent suggestions for diatom classification being based on molecular phylogenetics (e.g. Medlin 2016), no consensus has been reached so far as to what should replace the Round et al. classification and which systematic reconstructions accurately reflect diatom evolution (for review, see Mann et al. 2017). We therefore treat the diatoms here as a single group, Diatomeae, following Adl et al. (2019). It is a major and very diverse species-rich monophyletic lineage of the Heterokontophyta. In molecular phylogenetics, it forms together with the Bolidophyceae, Dictyochophyceae, and Pelagophyceae, the SIII clade (Yang et al. 2012; Figs. 2.8 and 5.2). As based on the Adl et al. classification system of eukaryotes, the Diatomeae is split into 9 lineages (subphyla), and 5 classes of diatoms are recognized (Adl et al. 2019). They never delve deeper, only mention the Adl taxa in photograph captions. — Snoteleks (talk) 21:00, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nice! They do use ranks on Adl et al. taxa. I'm going to rank the rest of Adl et al. taxa now, then. Jako96 (talk) 13:35, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done. By the way, one a completely unrelated note, which bigyran groups should be always displayed you think? Jako96 (talk) 14:21, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 When it comes to protist taxa inside a phylum, only the main ranks (phylum, class, order...) should be-and are automatically- displayed. The "exceptions" should be dealt with in each article's taxobox with the display_parents function, unless there's a really important taxon that's not a main rank (like Diatomeae). — Snoteleks (talk) 15:03, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Don't you think that jakobid suborders should always be displayed, though? They are not a phylum after all. Jako96 (talk) 15:14, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 No, those aren't very relevant except for their immediate child taxa — Snoteleks (talk) 18:06, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. After my edits, a lot of diatom taxa are also always displayed, what do you think of them? I generally just displayed subclasses only. Jako96 (talk) 18:28, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 I think you should only always display classes, not subclasses (except for when there is no class yet). Subphyla are also irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. People don't need to see all those parent taxa if they're looking at a genus or species. — Snoteleks (talk) 18:31, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've made changes so only Ellerbeckiophytina is always displayed, which just contains the genus Ellerbeckia without any class, order or family. Are you sure about the Leptocylindrophytina situation though (which is not always displayed now)? It includes the classes Leptocylindrophyceae and Corethrophyceae, there are no orders and families. And one last thing, are you still sure about using the non-consensus Adl et al. classification? Jako96 (talk) 19:24, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Jako96, there is absolutely no need to use always display for Ellerbeckiophytina. In general, you should be using |display_parents= to display a monotypic subphylum down to the genus level.
And in the particular case of Ellerbeckia, given how it is currently set up, the immediate child of the subphylum IS the genus, which means that you don't even need |display_parents= to show the subphylum (the immediate parent taxon is always automatically displayed).
Always display should be used exceedingly sparingly. Plantdrew (talk) 20:10, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was expecting you here because of your recent edits. I meant that if there was an Ellerbeckia species article just created, I think we would want to display Ellerbeckiophytina, because Ellerbeckia is not incertae sedis but in its own subphylum. Jako96 (talk) 20:15, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I made the edits after seeing your comment here.
If there were articles for Ellerbeckia species, and you wanted to display a subphylum, |display_parents= would work. However, the rule of thumb is still that minor ranks (e.g. subphyla) should only be displayed above one (non-monotypic) major rank. It is OK to to display a subphylum with only a single genus in the article for that genus. If that genus has multiple species, it is not necessary to display the subphylum in the species articles. Plantdrew (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was talking about your edits to Rhizosoleniales, Jakobid, Jakobids, Jakobida and Jakobea, I knew you checked my recent edits. Anyway, I'm fine with the latest situation I guess. Jako96 (talk) 20:52, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96 That is a good point. Unfortunately in absence of a formal class the only parent is the subphylum. — Snoteleks (talk) 22:15, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I'm asking you the usage of the Adl et al. (and other Adl et al. supportive papers) classification again is that I think you prefer that system because of cladistics, but now that we use polyphyletic orders Melosirales and Rhizosoleniales in Adl et al. subphyla, there is no point of using that system just because of cladistics. Jako96 (talk) 21:53, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Foraminifera subgenera

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:Foraminifera subgenera 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! 03:10, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz I'm not sure now. At the moment I must have seen a foraminifer subgenus but right now I can't seem to find it. — Snoteleks (talk) 06:37, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protist genera disambiguation

[edit]

Thank you for thanking me for my edit to Halenia legrandi. Do you have any opinion about disambiguating Foraminifera genera that need disambiguation (or protists more broadly)? Category:Foraminifera genera and its subcategories have (foraminifera), (foram), (genus) and (protist) (with (protist) only used in titles you had created).

Disambiguating ambiguous genus on Wikipedia has been a real mess that I've spent some time trying to standardize over the last several years. The single largest source of ambiguity in genus names is other valid genera named under different nomenclatural codes (or even genera that fall under a single code where no replacement name has been published for the junior homonym). Wikipedia originally largely used (genus) as a disambiguatory term, but it really doesn't work when there are multiple genera (but I do think (genus) can be appropriate in cases such as Rhinoceros/Rhinoceros (genus) and Asparagus/Asparagus (genus) where the article at the undisambiguated title is a well known common name for a taxon at a rank other than genus).

I haven't tried to tackle disambiguating terms for protist genera yet, but I'm thinking about it. For Foraminifera, (foram) doesn't strike me as being immediately recognizable to people who have just enough biology background to have even heard of foraminiferans. There are some protist articles that use a capitalized scientific name of a clade to disambiguate (e.g. Garnia (Apicomplexa)). I don't like that. I'd be OK with (protist) being used pretty broadly to disambiguate, but it would take quite a bit more work to use that than some more specific terms (today I edited dozens of entries in List of prehistoric foraminifera genera to use (foraminifera) rather than (foram) or (genus); there is only one use in that page of (protist), where it appears as an interwiki link to a Spanish article). Plantdrew (talk) 04:04, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Plantdrew I definitely prefer to use the most general term applicable. If there's more than one protist genus with the same name, I would indeed use (foraminifer/a?) (honestly not sure which one is more appropriate in English), (apicomplexan), etc. never with the formal capitalized name. But if only one protist genus shares a name with non-protist genera, I would use (protist). I also think, if possible, a common name should always be preferred, for example (flagellate) instead of (excavate).
Also I expect that, since most cases of homonymy are due to the two independent codes, botanical and zoological, protist-protist homonymy could probably be resolved with (alga) vs. (protozoon?) instead of with specialized taxonomic names.
This is a good question to raise, as consistency would be nice — Snoteleks (talk) 11:23, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will say, before your message I did prefer (foram) due to being shorter, but again, I don't know how layman it is over foraminifer or foraminifera. Perhaps (amoeba) would be better? — Snoteleks (talk) 11:25, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

About Ancyromonadida situation

[edit]

You are saying that Planomonadea containing Ancyromonadida is not WP:OR because Ancyromonadida is a synonym of Planomonadida, which belongs to the monotypic Planomonadea according to the Cavalier-Smith paper. How does this makes sense? Do you think that if the X taxon was placed in the monotypic Y taxon by some author, and, the Z, which is a synonym of X and more popular, should be the taxon that belongs to Y? If you still not agree with me, I'll start a discussion, so I'm asking you first. Jako96 (talk) 21:50, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jako96 There is no Z. If you understand what a synonym is, you will understand that there is only X. Go ahead and start a discussion, but I'm sure you'll find similar replies — Snoteleks (talk) 22:29, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Z is Ancyromonadida, I don't think this is about understanding what a synonym is, really. And, I think that you think we should also "follow" CS for ancyromonads, but I don't think we should do this because we are already not fully (except cladistics when saying fully) following CS.

Hello, Snoteleks. Could you send me this article's PDF via email? I really need it right now. I'm asking this to you because you have subscriptions to some journals I guess. Obviously, feel free to decline my request Jako96 (talk) 21:50, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my institution does not provide me access to that article. — Snoteleks (talk) 21:57, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jako96: and Snoteleks, you should have access to that via The Wikipedia Library. The interface is a little confusing; first you have to select "Login via Wikipedia", then on the next page you need to select the particular publisher for the article/journal you want, then once you are on the publisher's page you can search for the title you want.

Ah, thank you @Plantdrew I always forget that's a possibility. @Jako96 you should find it there, but it's hard to navigate. First you have to be at your 'My Collections' page, scroll down to find 'Nature', click on its collection, and then through the newly opened Nature page search for the specific article. You should be able to access it via this link. — Snoteleks (talk) 22:15, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I also forgot about that. I'm glad that I asked you in the first place, now, we both remembered WP library. Jako96 (talk) 16:10, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
