Hi. Thanks for creating the page Cryptodifflugia leachi. I have edited this page to use a ((Speciesbox)) in accordance with Wikipedia:Automated_taxobox_system/taxonomy_templates. If you have a read it says it is not normally necessary to create taxonomy templates for species or lower ranks
and gives an explanation of the common cases for taxonomy template creation. The list of taxonomy templates that exist for species is here, which is essentially a list of special cases. Unnecessary taxonomy templates go here to await deletion. Thanks. YorkshireExpat (talk) 19:51, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
An article you recently created, Rhopalophora (beetle), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

It's difficult to know exactly what to do about Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta. I agree that it should ideally not be set to be the same as Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophytina. But the problem is that there are articles with taxoboxes that use Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta that therefore show the hierarchy Phylum Gyrista – Subphylum Ochrophytina, so that if a simple change is made as you did, all their taxoboxes will change, which may not be what is intended. Also we can't end up with the hierarchy Phylum Gyrista – Phylum Ochrophyta. I created Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta/Phylum to deal with cases where the hierarchy should run Heterokonta – Phylum Ochrophyta.
Ideally, every article that uses Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta or Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophytina needs to be reviewed to see what is intended. If it's Phylum Ochrophyta, then ensure that it uses Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta/Phylum; if it's Subphylum Ochrophytina, then insure that it uses Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophytina. When they are all sorted, then Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta/Phylum can be moved to Template:Taxonomy/Ochrophyta and left as a 'redirect' (using |same_as=
). Peter coxhead (talk) 09:56, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
|parent=Ochrophyta
, referenced to WoRMS, which has Phylum Ochrophyta. If you believe that this is the wrong hierarchy, then change Template:Taxonomy/Pelagophyceae to have |parent=Ochrophytina
, with a reference.Ok, let's take a simple example. Family Xidae has a taxonomy template at "Template:Taxonomy/Xidae" with |rank=familia
. It gets reduced to the subfamily Xinae. So you first create a NEW taxonomy template at "Template:Taxonomy/Xinae" with |rank=subfamilia
. Then you find all the taxonomy templates that have |parent=Xidae
and change them to have |parent=Xinae
. NO taxonomy templates are moved. When there are no uses of "Template:Taxonomy/Xidae" and if you are sure it won't ever be used again, then you blank it, replacing all the content by "Category:Unnecessary taxonomy templates". (An admin occasionally deletes the contents of this category.)
|same_as=
is meant for very special cases where the same taxon is used in different ways in different hierarchies. The taxonomy template with |same_as=
will have the same link as the one pointed to, but some other difference, and a qualified name. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:07, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Snoteleks,
Please do not remove all of the contents of a category so it is tagged for speedy deletion, CSD C1, as an empty category. This is called "emptying categories out of process" and can be seen as disruptive editing and your edits reverted.
If you believe a category should be deleted, merged or renamed, please nominate it at Categories for Discussion. These deletion discussions are even more important with categories than articles because categories are interconnected and exist in a categorical hierarchy. Changes or deletion of a category could affect similar categories that might also warrant deletion or renaming. The editors who are regulars at CFD have an almost encyclopedic memory of how different groups of categories are structured so they are an invaluable resource if you are interested in recategorization a field. Please take the time to make use of CFD in the future. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 03:44, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Um, sorry to have to mention this but I've come across a couple of articles lately where you've left cladograms totally unformatted, i.e. the cladotext is just one indigestible lump. This does make editing and maintenance very difficult; I've formatted some of the trees for you, but it would be much appreciated if you could indent them with linebreaks to make them readily maintainable. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:58, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Did you intend to an outcome where domain Eukaryota is displayed for all animal and fungus taxa when you made that edit request to the taxonomy template? If that was not your intention, I guess that at least Breviatea and Apusomonadida should be linked into the taxonomy template Template:Taxonomy/Amorphea/showdomain (and any other opisthokonts that aren't strictly fungi/animals), and the main Amorphea taxonomy template shouldn't have been edited in the first place. If you did intend to show the domain for animals and fungi, that should be discussed more broadly (Template:Taxonomy/Eukaryota/displayed is pointless if there is a consensus to always display a domain for plants, animals and fungi). Plantdrew (talk) 03:24, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
EDIT TO ADD: I had forgotten that Template:Taxonomy/Amorphea/showdomain was something I created. I have no objections to renaming that template in some way or deprecating it in favor of another solution, but displaying Eukaryota in taxoboxes for animals and fungi hasn't been standard practice on Wikipedia and should be discussed at WP:TOL if it is intended to be standard practice going forward.

New contest!

This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting a new monthly rolling contest, inspired by the contest run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars! |

Hi, Snoteleks. I was wondering if you have considered applying for WP:AUTOPATROLLED rights. Generally speaking you need at least 25 articles created in order to gain this privilege, and you seem to be quite a prolific editor with plenty of experience and quite a few articles created. It would not help you much per se except to save you the notification that your article has been reviewed and to automatically release your new articles for search engine indexing, but it would also help the new page review backlog. I'm almost certain you would be granted it given your editing history, and to my understanding the privilege stays with you indefinitely. It's of course up to you; it's still always good to have another pair of eyes on a new article. All the best, TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 23:01, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Snoteleks. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Anarchyte (talk) 12:07, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Snoteleks, 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! Anarchyte (talk) 12:08, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

The first edition of our new monthly contest had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs for Holozoa and Hypericum perforatum. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month was Simongraham, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved.

I noticed you tried to take Kingdom of misfits to Redirects for Discussion. Initiating some of the formal discussion processes on Wikipedia (such as RfD) often entails making edits to multiple pages and substituting different templates.

On 27 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hyalospheniidae, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that many hyalospheniid amoebae (example pictured) construct shells by stealing mineralized particles from the shells of their prey? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hyalospheniidae. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hyalospheniidae), 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.

New newsletter!

Now, this newsletter is technically not new, but I have only recently become aware of its existence and am only a month late, so it still counts. Wikiproject Fungi's Lichen task force has a new newsletter that is very nicely formatted and also features much better writing than this newsletter. Anyone interested in receiving the newsletter can add their name here. |

Quetzal1964 was second with 74 points from 37 articles. The annual contest was a close race between simongraham and Quetzal1964; simongraham won first place with 256 points from 64 articles, and Quetzal1964 was second with 250 points from 146 articles. Snoteleks was third with 79 points from 33 articles. Congratulations to everyone who won this year and my gratitude to everyone else who helped raise the quality of articles in our little corner of Wikipedia this year.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Telonemia you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Esculenta -- Esculenta (talk) 18:04, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
The article Telonemia you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Telonemia for comments about the article, and Talk:Telonemia/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Hi Snoteleks, just touching base from Australia. I noticed your extensive re-working of Taxonomy of Protista per the Adl et al., 2019 treatment for which you deserve appreciation for the effort involved (which is largely thankless as I know...). I have made a comment or 2 on the "talk" page for that article regarding possibly including more on the alternative kingdom level treatment of protists as implemented at CoL, GBIF, etc. which you may to comment on further; I can always add something to the article to cover this aspect if you wish, or of course feel free to do so as well. Best regards - Tony Rees, IRMNG (my production for the past 18 years, hopefully to give away at some point!!) Tony 1212 (talk) 00:32, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Snoteleks (real name if you wish??), I did a very brief pass through your impressive "Adl et al. plus later work" section, at this stage just looking for things that I did not have in my own holdings (currently doing a bit of an update for the period 2015-2022 in the main, making updates, additions as needed; I have many of the required new names from ION and AlgaeBase, but not all are yet added in). During this process I notices a few issues where I have 1 thing that I believe is correct, you have another, which I set down below for your perusal and possible incorporation if you agree! Probably not a complete list since I only looked at portions of your work that pertain to 2013 and later, but some things of interest here, hopefully! Best - Tony
"Hemimastigophora Foissner et al. 1988 Spironemidae Doflein 1916. Hemimastix, Spironema, Stereonema. Spironematellidae Shshkin 2022. Spironematella.[90]"
However note: - Spironematellidae is a replacement name for Spironemidae (and probably should have authorship Silva, 1970, who created it under the botanical Code ("Spironematellceae"); I believe the authorship still stands if the name is used as a zoological taxon); Spironemidae is invalid (based on a preoccupied genus name) - Spironema in Hemimastigophora (author is Klebs, 1892) is a preoccupied name in botany (Spironema Rafinesque, 1838 in Lauraceae and Spironema Lindley, 1840 in Commelinaceae) and in zoology (Spironema Meek, 1864, a fossil mollusc); replacement name is Spironematella
Thus both Hemimastix and Stereonema should be placed in Spironematellidae, also (if you do this) Spironema included as a syn. of Spironematella, and Spironemidae as a syn. of Spironematellidae.
Agogonidae Galindo, Prokina, Torruella, López-García & Moreira 2022. Agogonia.[95]
- year is 2023 according to published work at https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/15/4/evad058/7111303 (authors erroneously use 2022 in text, for new taxa)
?Triassothamnus† in Thalassothamnidae: this genus now in own family Triassothamnidae in Entactinaria, refer Takahashi et al., 2022 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.revmic.2022.100610
Colpodellida Cavalier-Smith 1993, emend. Adl et al. 2005, 2019 - maybe add note that in AlgaeBase (botanical treatment) this order is currently treated as the botanical order Colpodellales within its own phylum Chromeridophyta, class Colpodellophyceae and subclass Colpodellophycidae. Includes Chromerida (for the photosynthetic species only), the latter used as order sin Ruggiero et al., 2015 and some more recent works.
Colpodellaceae Adl et al., 2019 - authority should possibly be Simpson & Patterson, 1996 (original publication in zoology, as Colpodellidae; authorship transfers unchanged when botanical names are used in zoology)
"Aquavolonida Bass & Berney 2018. Aquavolon, Lapot gusevi.[67]" - Lapot is a genus, does not need specific name attached.
"Pluriformea[d] Hehenberger et al. 2017 Corallochytrium limacisporium Raghu-Kumar 1987 Syssomonas multiformis[d] Tikhonenkov, Hehenberger, Mylnikov & Keeling 2017" - similarly, don't need species epithts, just genera
"Stramenopiles incertae sedis: Environmental clades MAST-21, MAST-25 Massana et al. 2014 Platysulcus tardus Shiratori, Nakayama & Ishida 2015 Kaonashia insperata Weston, Eglit & Simpson 2023[35]" - don't need to cite species; Platysulcus is in Platysulcidae; Kaonashia is in Kaonashiidae
Oblongichytrida Bennett et al. 2017. Oblongichytrium. - suggest putting Oblongichytrida in quotes, as per original work, since there it is a provisional grouping, not formally defined
Flamellidae Cavalier-Smith 2016 - according to my records, Cavalier-Smith was incorrect in listing this as fam. nov.; it was already named, by Lahr & Katz in Lahr et al., 2011 (Lahr, D. J. G.; Grant, J.; Nguyen, T.; Lin, J. H.; Katz, L. A. (2011). Comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of Amoebozoa based on concatenated analyses of SSU-rDNA and actin genes. PLoS ONE. 6(7): e22780., available online at https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0022780)
Gymnodiniales F. Stein 1878 - lacking families Torodiniales Boutrup, Moestrup & Daugbjerg 2016 - same Gonyaulacales Taylor 1980 - same Peridiniales Haeckel 1894 - same Dinophysales Kofoid 1926 - same Prorocentrales Lemmermann 1910 - same -you can maybe get these from IRMNG, e.g. for Gonyaulacales see https://www.irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=10358 (includes some genera not allocated to family), plus https://www.irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=115060 - however maybe print (non database) sources might be better - but I can see it would be a big effort!!
Gilchristidae Ito, Ishihara & Imai 2014. Gilchristia. - Gilchristidae Ito, Ishihara & Imai 2014 should read Gilchristinidae Ito, Ishihara & Imai 2014 (previously Gilchristidae). Gilchristia should read Gilchristina (=nom. nov. for Gilchristia, preoccupied) - Digilchristia is a second genus in Gilchristinidae, per original description, also http://oakorn.ru/articles/Rhinozeta.pdf Tony 1212 (talk) 19:24, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Snoteleks! I noticed you have some more articles at GAN, which is great. It would also be great if you are able to do some reviews as well, since you have a lot of experience with taxa articles now. I'd be happy to review Chrompodellid or Parvilucifera if you are able to review another Biology/Medicine GAN as well. I can also help you through the review or provide a second set of eyes if you'd like, the first review is definitely the hardest. Just let me know! Fritzmann (message me) 15:04, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I think the edits you made like this one are wrong. Category:Trebouxiophyceae genera is a subcategory of Category:Chlorophyta genera, so you have put the article into both a caegory and its parent category.
