Thomas Hardwicke

There is a reference to a F.R.Hardwicke on Uromastyx_hardwickii. Any idea if one of the names are incorrect ? Shyamal 04:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a ton as always. I have fixed it on that page, but it seems to be repeated in other places. I found a couple of sites even converting the Major-General to Hardwicke M. G.! wonder if the FR came from a fragmentation of FRS ? Shyamal 09:04, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

THanks

Thanks for adding author info to Indian Riodinidae. Just for info, I'm in the process of Lepindexing the Indian Lycaenid list so if you come across these articles you may, if you so prefer, like to hold off for a while. I'd much prefer to ask you to help me solve some of the problems I'm facing rather than you take over the grunt-work which I or any other person can do anyway. The Biobarnstar is well-deserved.

C. T. Bingham

You had the article at the same time as user:Notafly ! I merged it into Charles Thomas Bingham. Thanks ! Shyamal 05:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Long talk page

Pied Thrush commemoration

Thanks for that info. I used to think it was a Samuel Neville Ward (ICS, Nilgiris) but given the years, I now have second thoughts. See [1] [2] Shyamal 04:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Sulphur-winged

thanks for the named for - I couldn't track down which Hoffmann it was. jimfbleak

Thanks for Hugh Algernon Weddell corrections

I knew that you were interested in Hugh Algernon Weddell from your list of people to do. I was amazed to see that you found the page within 7 hours of it being created! Anyway, thanks for cleaning it up - I couldn't find some of those French links, even though I tried. --Jonathan O'Donnell 02:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

List of Australian Birds

Thanks for the tidy-up. Amazing how many typos there are there. I had noticed a few, but there may be more still.

Alfred Newton

Since you started this article, you sound like a good person to ask a question to. Newton was a biologist who worked on Spitzbergen for a while. Now, in the east of the island, lies Spitzbergen's highest mountain: Newtontoppen, occasionally known in English as Mount Newton. It seems a no-brainer that these two are connected, but I can't find any reference to it! I don't expect you to be the world expert on the subject just because you started the article, but... any ideas? TheGrappler 17:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, not so much a no-brainer after all. The Norwegian Polar Institute reckons that it was named after Isaac Newton. Shame really, would have been a nice touch to Alfred's article! TheGrappler 18:05, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Rock Ptarmigan/Ptarmigan

Smallweed: I had a chance to change the pic to what I believe to be a Rock Ptarmigan. I also changed article to correspond to to my reference material, although I have a Handbook of Birds of the World, and it does not mention any alternate names for Rock Ptarmigan...... (it does mention Willow Grouse as an alternate for Willow Ptarmigan for instance). I'll leave it and defer to the Europeans. I am also unsure of the colloquial term used in the article. I believe it to be a Canadian colloquial term for all 3 species of Ptarmigan. I'll leave the term in for the Canadians to banter about unless you think I should change or get rid of it. The commons still shows the Willow Grouse/Willow Ptarmigan pic under Rock Ptarmigan heading, any way to redirect the commons pic to the proper species?????????

Thanks for the info regarding commons Smallweed..........

Hi, any idea which Smith?, jimfbleak 16:56, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on Psittacini

Thanks for your help on the Psittacini page! Funny, I'm pretty good with HTML and I have no clue how to do most of the stuff here. A whole new protocol to learn. I was going to upload a couple pics of Jardines, but am lost as to exactly where and how to do it. I can't just use img src tags, huh? I guess I will have to learn how! Here are the files full size thumnail TheBirdMan 09:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Old mistakes?

Hi. Do you remember that when you had just joined the project, in November of 2003, you contributed an article on Joseph Pitton de Tournefort?

The plagiarism-detection bot indicates that the article came from a website about people who were important in the history of Armenia (armenica.org). Is this correct? DS 04:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The same day Smallweed was adding a set of articles from the 1911 Britannica. In this case his text and that at Armenica look like close paraphrases of the 1911 text [3] I'm not quite sure what happened here and I hope Smallweed can shed light. Haukur 11:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Keyserlings

hi,

thanks for correcting the mixup of the two Keyserlings. I'll try to correct the dozens of pages I already linked with Alexander. cheers --Sarefo 21:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Confusion?

The Le Soef who died in 1937 was the director of the perth zoo - my father had things to do with him in 1929. What you have done doesnt make sense. Please explain SatuSuro 13:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Apologies I have ventured into your contributions page and I think I can see what you are up to - crikey what a potential mess - its a bit like the seaforth mckenzies (a damned nightmare here in perth) cheers SatuSuro 13:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually the Perth Zoo link is to the wrong le souef ?SatuSuro 13:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for that - its good to have this sort of thing sorted out! SatuSuro 13:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Frank Ludlow

Hi ! Could you check if I got Alcippe ludlowi and Bhutanitis ludlowi after him right. Thanks. Shyamal 16:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering if u know any ornithologists/ birders or zoologists with the name:

• Sousa

- In 1888, discovered Cinderella Waxbill and gave it a binomial name: Estrilda thomensis - In 1889, discovered Dusky Twinspot and gave it a binomial name: Euschistospiza cinereovinacea

• Antinori - 1864, discovered Black-bellied Firefinch and gave it a binomial name: Lagonosticta rara
• Robert B. Payne - 1998, discovered Rock Firefinch and gave it a binomial name: Lagonosticta sanguinodorsalis

Thanks. Luffy487 06:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey i got a few more ornithologists/ birders or zoologists with the name:

• Lynes - In 1914, discovered Red-billed Quailfinch and gave it a binomial name: Ortygospiza gabonensis.
• Neave - In 1909, discovered Locustfinch and gave it a binomial name: Ortygospiza locustella.

I was wondering if u have any idea who are those guys? Thanks! Luffy487 05:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Trigoniceps occipitalis

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Trigoniceps occipitalis, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. It is a redirect page. I got 5 hits (probably also wrong spellings) for this with an internet search and 68,000 with "Trigonoceps occipitalis". Snowman 10:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

BOU Presidential succession

What do you think of the "succession box" on William Lutley Sclater ? Andy Mabbett 21:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi again

Hi Smallweed. I have two questions to ask you. I was trying to figure out whether this guy named Lillo who discovered Quebracho Crested Tinamou in 1905 and gave it a binomial name Eudromia formosa is he the same guy called Baldomero Lillo?

The next question is do you know who is Ingouf? Ingouf’s Tinamou is named to commemorate him.

Thanks. Luffy487 08:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright man. Thank you for helping me so many times. Haha. Luffy487 05:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for adding statuses (stati? *grins*) Could you make the references "up-to-date" by using inline reference notation, and the {{IUCN2006}} template? (See the last few that you edited before I wrote this for a template.) Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 17:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
