Rusalkii (talk) 01:37, 27 December 2021 (UTC)Hey Lumpsunker, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for all the fish articles! However, it a bunch of them are referenced only to fishbase.se, which looks like a user-generated source. As a general rule, those aren't the best citations for Wikipedia articles. Are there better sources for you to cite? Rusalkii (talk) 05:47, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
I did notice that. I've been working on trying to find more information on some of the species although a lot of them are very obscure and primarily referenced in old print publications that I do not have access to. Fishbase is often the only source I can find on some of these obscure fish (other than websites that essentially just confirm the fish exists), but even then it typically has only minimal information which is why anyone with access to additional documents should definitely add their findings to the appropriate page.

Rusalkii (talk) 20:09, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Hi Lumpsucker, thank you for creating the above article. Could you please check reference 2 as it appears to point to the wrong species Microancathus fedorovi JW 1961 Talk 23:23, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
No, this is deliberate. The article mentions how FishBase does not recognize the species and instead places the only recognized member of its genus in a different one. Lumpsucker (talk) 00:17, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey! I've noticed all of your articles about fish on the new pages feed, and I'd like to thank you! They're pretty much all very good and it's quite a refresher compared to others. Happy editing! Asparagusus (interaction) 17:40, 27 August 2022 (UTC) |
Hi,
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. You currently appear to be engaged in the mass creation of articles on catfish. Such mass creation can be disruptive, and if you wish to continue creating large quantities of short, similar articles on this topic (or any topic) you should first see if there is a consensus to do so, either at WP:VPR or WP:BOTN; it is possible that the community would prefer this content be provided in a different manner than in a series of small, standalone articles.
Thank you, BilledMammal (talk) 03:27, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi, as you're creating your articles, would you be good enough to include a short description each time, per WP:SHORTDESC? Descriptions should be short (preferably no more than 40 characters), and should avoid using technical terms such as family names. Something simple like "Species of fish" would be OK, but adding a little more detail such as "Species of catfish" would be better. Regards, MichaelMaggs (talk) 09:08, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Is File:DSCN6719 (6260222699).jpg a picture of Amazonsprattus? I was hoping to get a description on the Commons page. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:33, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
Yes, I believe that it is. I may be wrong but it seems to be based on what I could find. Lumpsucker (talk) 22:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
