Acacia

[edit]

Hi there! Quick question from someone who is not into trees, plants, shrubs and everything that has to do with it: the article acacia states there are 163 species in the genus acacia, but there are 613 articles in the Category:Acacia right now. How? Kind regards, Coldbolt (talk) 22:06, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I don't know and have no real expertise in the area. I've been filling in redlinks on the list but don't any real expertise in the area. The refs all say Acacia but since even the page for Acacia sensu lato (containing all of the 960 Australian species} is still referred to in the taxobox as Acacia, so I think it is OK. Will seek advice. Hughesdarren (talk) 09:56, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Plantdrew: Can you explain this one? Hughesdarren (talk) 09:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Short non-technical answer. Acacia and Acacia sensu lato (and some related articles, including Racosperma) have had some misinformation since 5 November 2015. The person who made the misinforming edits does otherwise good work on South African organisms. I'm rather conflict averse and haven't wanted to get in a fight with them to fix the articles. I brought it up at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Plants/Archive66#Acacia, but it seems that nobody else wanted to get in a fight about it. The Acacia article ought to reflect the view that there are 900+ Acacia species, almost all of which are native to Australia.
Longer technical answer. It has been apparent for some time that Acacia should be split into multiple genera. A genus name is anchored to a type species; in the event that a genus is split, the species most closely related to the type species keep the genus name and the less closely related species get placed into new genera. The type species of Acacia was originally an African species. Based on the usual rules, splitting Acacia would result in 163 mostly African species retaining the name Acacia and 1100+ species shuffled off into 4 other genera (including 900+ Australian species which were proposed to go to the genus Racosperma). To reduce the number of species which would have to be renamed, a proposal was made to change the type species from an African species to one of the Australian species; this kind of proposal is unusual, but by no means unprecedented. The proposal passed at a meeting in Vienna in 2005. Australian species would stay in Acacia, but African species would have to be renamed (to Vachellia). African botanists were not happy about this. Some of them decided to take the highly unusual step of forcing a second vote on the proposal at the next meeting. The next meeting happened in 2011, in Melbourne, and the proposal passed again. I empathize to some extent with the Africans; the Melbourne meeting can hardly be called a fair vote; many more Australian botanists attended and voted than would have in another location (such as Vienna). But there probably shouldn't have been a second vote in the first place, and there was nothing sinister about having the vote in Melbourne; the meeting had long been scheduled to be held there.
At this point, Wikipedia is presenting a mish-mash of competing views on Acacia and the other genera that have been split out from it, largely due to a South African editor who refuses to acknowledge that this has been voted on twice, with their faction failing to win both time. They are apparently not alone; there may be an unprecedented third vote on the issue at the upcoming meeting in China (presumably the Australian faction won't be over-represented there).
Hughesdarren, you're fine making articles on Australian Acacia species; Acacia being largely Australian is the current botanical consensus. If you come across any Racosperma synonyms for Acacia species, it wouldn't hurt to make redirects. Fixing up the Acacia, Racosperma and Vachellia articles might be contentious. Plantdrew (talk) 15:51, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Update: Racosperma was just moved to Acacia, and the previously article at Acacia was moved to Acacia (Vachellia). There's some badly needed clean up needed that I'll try to do some work on over the next few days, but the article at Acacia is now about the most recent concept of the genus.

Ways to improve Grevillea tenuiloba

[edit]

Hi, I'm LatymerKing. Hughesdarren, thanks for creating Grevillea tenuiloba!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. it just needs a few more references, and a little bit more detail, and then you're set!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. LatymerKing (talk) 10:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Napier

[edit]

Hi, Your edits of Napier include continually removing a reference, if you have updated information you can add it with an accompanying appropriate reference, see the section of verifibility above. Regards. Hughesdarren (talk) 09:07, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Firstly let me apologise for my newness and inexperience on editing an article. But, as it was clearly wrong, I thought, for the sake of accuracy, I should fix it. Thank you for now agreeing to some of my updates, which I know to be correct as I am the previous owner of Napier Downs and am referred to in the article. I still have a few issues. One the location as 130km from Derby is correct, but it is NOT also 130km North of Fitzroy Crossing. If you look at a map, you will see this is impossible. There is no reference verifying this, so I assume that someone has just had a guess. It is actually approx. 150km North West of Fitzroy Crossing, which is what I tried to amend. The area of the lease is approx. 380,000 ha. I am not sure where you got the area that you have stated. The article that you refer to says it is It covers more than 400,000ha and carries about 20,000 head of red brahman cattle. That, in fact is not accurate, but it will do. The sale price was not disclosed and merely speculated by the article in Beef Central that you refer to. I wonder if anyone verifies the articles that are used as a ref. I know in the case of Beef Central it was not verified and they simply wrote the article with speculative information. The sale was actually completed in September 2015. The line... In 1910 Napier Downs occupied an area of 90,000 acres (364 km2) and was still owned by M. C. Davies... is also incorrect. I attempted to amend this but you have not allowed this. If you read the article that is referred to in the reference, it clearly says 900,000 acres and not 90,000. According to the pastoral lease, a copy of which I hold, it states that on 30th June 1969 the area of Napier Downs was 1,000,000 acres. I am happy to provide any further information and assist in the accuracy of this article. Leut1 (talk) 03:17, 4 September 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leut1 (talkcontribs)

Thanks for replying - I have fixed what I can but the rest of the information that has a reference will stay. Wikipedia requires verifiability (see pillars above). I'm not too sure if you realise but 1 million acres is the same size as 4047km2 or 404700ha .... so the lease can't be both 380000ha and 1 million acres.... so I'll go with what the ref and the lease says on that one. No editors check references, unless two separate sources contradict each other or the sources themselves are inherently unreliable (like a blog, an advertisement abd perhaps Beef Central). Thanks for your offer of more information but unless accompanied by a reliable source it would be unlikely to be edited in. By the way, ff you do spot errors made like to 900,000 acre one then by all means do fix it but make a note in the comment that this is what the reference says. Regards Hughesdarren (talk) 03:59, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the amendments. Just to answer your comment about the lease size. The lease area has changed over the years by way of resumptions and boundary changes, whilst it was 1,000,000 acres in 1969 it has changed many times since. The current lease area is closer to 380,000 ha. It is actually 386,679. It is unlikely that you will find this confirmed in any news article.

No worries - I figured that would be the case - I'll make a note on the article talk page, and maybe it will be confirmed in the future. Regards Hughesdarren (talk) 04:46, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks, would you also like to amend the article on Kerry Stokes with this updated information on Napier Downs.. price and herd size? Thanks. Leut1 (talk) 04:56, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, you can do it or I will if you like, if you do make any changes sure you leave a comment in the edit summary box (just above where you click the save changes buttone). Other editors (and myself) are always deeply suspicious of a blank edit summary. It will pop up on my watchlist when you make any changes. Cheers and regards.

Automatic taxoboxes?

[edit]

Hughesdarren/Archive 6
Scientific classification Edit this classification
Kingdom: Plantae
Clade: Tracheophytes
Clade: Angiosperms
Clade: Eudicots
Order: Proteales
Family: Proteaceae
Genus: Conospermum
Species:
C. brownii
Binomial name
Conospermum brownii

I was wondering whether you'd ever considered using automatic taxoboxes instead of manual taxoboxes when creating new articles? I think your approach to article creation (working methodically through a genus to create articles for all Western Australian species) is very well suited to using automatic taxoboxes. It's a little bit more work to prepare a genus to use automatic taxoboxes, but once the genus is ready to go, it's very easy to create taxoboxes for new species. I took the liberty of setting up the back end templates for Conospermum. The code below is all that is needed to produce the taxobox at right (in edit view, the actual code is what appears above this paragraph).

{{speciesbox
|genus = Conospermum
|species = brownii
|authority = [[Meisn.]]
}}

If you're not interested in automatic taxoboxes, that's fine. If you are interested I'd be happy to explain them further or help getting templates set up. I'm mainly interested in them for their potential in keeping taxonomy up to date. There are about 60,000 articles on plant taxa, and at most a few dozen editors actively working on them. Moving a genus to a different family might require edits to 100 articles. Taxonomic changes at higher ranks might effect thousands of articles. With manual taxoboxes, each taxobox must be edited individually. With automatic taxoboxes, a single edit to a template changes all the subordinate taxa. Plantdrew (talk) 02:19, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, what a great idea! I had no clue a taxobox could be set up this way! I'll have a go using the Conospermum one for the remaining species then try my hand when I move to another genera. Thanks for the tip and I'll let you know when I need any help. Hughesdarren (talk) 04:34, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Glad you like it. There's documentation at Wikipedia:Automated taxobox system. If you use a speciesbox where the genus isn't in the system yet, you'll get an error message on saving/previewing that should make it pretty obvious how to set up a new genus. Ping me if you need help, but I'm going to be away from the internet next weekend. Plantdrew (talk) 02:56, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had modified the content but couldn't avoid using the same technical language. Since you've now hidden my contribution I can't do a comparison. Could you paste the offending text here on my talk page so I can compare the original to what I had written? Hughesdarren (talk) 23:14, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I did not see your message until now; it's not practical for me to watch-list everybody's talk page. No, I cannot post copyright material here on your talk page. I can send you the deleted material by email if you like. Alternatively, you can go to this report and click on the link "Report 29406429" to view the overlap. There's no reason why phrases such as "extends from north of Geraldton" cannot be re-written in your own words. There's no need to omit or change the technical terminology but you must change the sentence structure and the order in which the material is presented. Do you really need to compare it with other members of the reniform-seeded group? Perhaps that part could be omitted. There's some reading material on how to write copyright compliant prose at Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing and/or have a look at the material at Purdue or study this module aimed at WikiEd students.
Also - the bot has just now reported another copyright violation, on Maxwell Ralph Jacobs.

Sorry, I'm not deliberately violating copyright and I'm not cutting and pasting text. I've saved my current version on Jacobs and will compare with your version to see the comparison. I'll take the time to read the documents that you've linked. Additionally I'm not an expert in botany so the language is difficult to rephrase at times without losing meaning.

Ranks in taxonomy templates

[edit]

Hi, just a note to say that ranks in taxonomy templates must be the Latin version; it may appear to work if you use the English word, but some features don't. If you look at this version of the template you created, you'll see that the word "Tribe" is on a red background: this is meant to be a hint that something might be wrong! There's a list of Latin ranks and English equivalents at Wikipedia:Automated taxobox system/taxonomy templates#rank which you might want to bookmark if you plan to create many taxonomy templates.

Rules of nomenclature

[edit]

Hello: thanks for all the pages you are creating in the genus Eleocharis. However, remember that only the genus and species (and subspecies) go in italics. The family and all other taxons do not.

Hi Hughesdarren,
Just a quick "thanks" for your encouragement over the past cpl of weeks as I've been working towards getting a features image-gallery onto every known species of Eucalypt. Well that's the aim, but of course there's no chance I'll ever get there haha! I am on a mission however to at least try to do every species I can come across from now on :)
I see you've been swapping-in the speciesbox template everywhere I look - that's a neat little feature that looks great for consistency & time-saving (Thumbs-up). Cheers ❮❮ GEEKSTREET Talk Lane ❯❯ 03:14, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FYI - a lot of the acacias (and others) dont have biota and wa tags on the talk page - I have on my user page an idea of the enormousness of the issue...

viz:

as at July 2018 - 16,246 (16,241) total articles in Biota
as at July 2018 - 13,340 (13,338) total articles with no attributed importance
as at July 2018 - less than 20% adequately assessed
as at end July 2018 - low importance assessed of 2,121.

so any help is always appreciated - boring I know... but JarrahTree 00:54, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

re: Acacia speciesboxes

[edit]

Replying on your talk page so you have the relevant links at hand. I just stumbled across the Acacia with a manual taxobox that you'd missed, but I did do a search for Eucalyptus species with manual taxoboxes you'd missed. The tool I used to find them is PetScan. Here is a link to search for the remaining Acacias with manual taxoboxes. Note that I've entered values across different tabs to construct the search ("Taxobox" under the Templates&links tab, "Acacia" under the Categories tab). PetScan does go down pretty frequently, but usually comes back up in less than a hour; if it's not working for you, just try again a little later. Plantdrew (talk) 20:14, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, works a treat and all of the Acacias are now done. I might go and have a cup of tea to celebrate. Thanks heaps for the links. Regards. Hughesdarren (talk) 01:47, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

so many plant items have had the absent biota-importance=low - it is such a relief to see you fixing that, thank you JarrahTree 09:34, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Everytime I change a taxobox to a species box I'm checking the talk page now, I can't believe how all the state tags from the WP:Australia template are missing too. Hughesdarren (talk) 09:47, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi boys! You can probably blame at leat some of the omissions on me. Bit busy writing articles and adding photos to worry to much about tags on talk pages. Sorry! Will try to do better in future. Gderrin (talk) 00:37, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
no big deal - all the consistent very hard work is always appreciated - at least the main tags are there - there are heaps of older ones by others with no oz tags or biota tags at all - all in a good day of wishing everyone well for the effort... JarrahTree 00:47, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work on the Hakea articles, especially tracking down all the images and all the improvements. Heaps are now up from little stubs to start class or better.

Muirs Highway/Muir Highway?

[edit]

Hello Hughesdarren,

Many plant pages I've edited would have red links if not for your work on places/rivers/towns/roads in W.A. Thank you.

I am curious about Muirs Highway. Google Maps, my (life saving!) Hema "Road & 4WD Track Atlas" give its name as Muir (without the "s") Highway and the road sign at the roundabout at Mount Barker give "Muir Highway". Your "Muirs Highway" article has a road sign with the "s". Is there more to this story? A recent name change perhaps? Maybe both names are correct and we need a dab? Gderrin (talk) 21:55, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, going a quick google search gives over 5 million hits for Muir Highway and 59,000 for Muirs Highway. Google maps has it as Muir Highway too. Funny, as everyone where I live calls it Muirs Highway.... The two references in the article where the links work, one says Muir and the other says Muirs. Main roads website consistently says Muir Highway. Can't find any evidence saying the name has changed. Maybe the name is incorrect and the page should be moved? Should we put it up for discussion on the WA page? @JarrahTree: what do you think? Hughesdarren (talk) 22:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh I knew the muir family will haunt me for the rest of my days... (it is a long and complex story)

"Orchids of Western Australia by Andrew Brown, Pat Dundas, Kingsley Dixon, and Steven Hopper. 2008. 421 pp. ISBN-10: 0980296455X. $80.00 (hbk). University of Western Australia Press, Crawley, Western Australia, Australia.(Book review)", Systematic Botany, 34 (3), American Society of Plant Taxonomists: 611, 2009-07-01, ISSN 0363-6445 the library description for the book has a diuris on singular muir,

then the plural at

http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/134001/20170707-0132/www.expressway.online/gallery/roads/wa/numbered/stateroutes/sr102/index.html

I would never put it up at the page we would never hear the end of it... it appears to be interchangeable - the very important thing is to make sure it is not identified as muir highway without a state context there are muir highways elsewhere on this poor planet. JarrahTree 23:06, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work guys. I suppose if geographical names still had apostrophes, it could also be Muir's Highway or Muirs' Highway! Ah well...maybe a short note about "Muir Highway" on Muirs Highway and a dab. page? To add to the confusion, "Muir Highway" is used on Mount Barker, Western Australia. Gderrin (talk) 23:26, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
dont take my advice for final - there is all likelihood that the wa page could elicit further gems...I personally suspect influence of finding there are other muir hghways on the planet they chose a plural... If the geographic names committee person was easily available today, I might try them out... JarrahTree 23:38, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

possible help

[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byblis_gigantea is supposedly in the endangered list and is a vacuous stub - any thoughts from you or Geoff best way to go with endangered/empty stub items? JarrahTree 04:21, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what JarrahTree means but it would be good to have a start class article on this interesting carnivorous plant. There is a paper on the genus, including a description of Byblis gigantea here. Gderrin (talk) 04:58, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I just made a start on Byblis gigantea, I can help out with endangered stubs and ones that are empty if they are in WA and have other refs besides FloraBase. Would prefer to stick to the larger genuses (Acacia, Corymbia, Eucalypt, Hakea, Banksia, Grevillea, Kunzea, Agonis, Taxandria, Allocasuarina...) though. Hughesdarren (talk) 05:06, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My main thing is where there is literally no text on items that have been claimed to be deserving endangered species levels - (as I am putting their biota -importance to mid - as they are indeed likely to become extinct or are threatened) - they for me are more important than the items that are least concern... but thank you both for your responses - I appreciate your interests and efforts very much. JarrahTree 05:58, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for expanding the byblis - appreciated. JarrahTree 07:09, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, I'm not sure how the DEC P1 --> P4 levels of endangerment compare to an IUCN listing... Should we maybe stick to IUCN listings and DEC Rare listings? Hughesdarren (talk) 07:19, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
maybe defer to whatever seems to be the easiest to clarify... the graphical representation in info boxes seems to be the easiest to see - whether there is a list elsewhere to compare with - https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/plants-and-animals/threatened-species-and-communities/threatened-plants seems a start - and the iucn criteria and the acronyms are all there JarrahTree 07:46, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
At least we can be sure with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Least_concern_flora_of_Australia is definitely 'low' on everything! JarrahTree 08:04, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry - I just registered your question re the P1- etc - difficult https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/images/documents/plants-animals/threatened-species/Listings/conservation_code_definitions.pdf it doesnt tie in to current categories for australian biota... hmmm - not sure what road to be taken on that - as P1 poorly known simply means inadequate info and also small populations...

Hello Hughesdarren,

Thanks for your work on E. cernua (and everything else!). A couple of weeks ago I was searching for an orchid along the railway heritage track near Kundip and came across this small tree with a very helpful sign telling me what the tree was. (If only identifying orchids was so easy!) Otherwise, I'm leaving eucalypts alone. But I thought you might like to know Brooker and Hopper's original paper is available online here. Gderrin (talk) 11:13, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

yup indeed
reference 2 says between 30.5°S to 32.5°S and 115.5°E to 118°E. for the yandanooka to cape riche zone but is wider....
yandanooka is at 29°19′S 115°34′E
Cape Riche, Western Australia is at 34.36 118.45£
Lake Muir 34°26′49″S 116°44′54″ECoordinates: 34°26′49″S 116°44′54″

so lake muir is in the zone from my reckoning. JarrahTree 13:43, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

notable rock and mounds

[edit]

I gave a bunch of geographic locations as red links in an article, western rosella#Distribution and habitat, and wonder if stubs, redirects or pretend it is 'someone else's problem' provides a solution to match the otherwise blue links [targets to articles that you probably created]. And how are you? Tell me after you answer my query. cygnis insignis 13:35, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you have been busy, the rosella article is fantastic! I'll take a look at some of the redlinks over the week (although I have a couple of days away again) and see if they can be made blue. I'm well, thanks for asking, how are you going? Cheers Hughesdarren (talk) 22:21, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Jeez, some pretty sketchy info on some of those places - had a go at Gnarlbine Rock, do you want to add anything about habitat etc.. Hughesdarren (talk) 01:38, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers, I will have a look. And that's the thing, the notability may rest on nothing more than a dead parrot and some coordinates, which are given in the bird atlas if that helps. Anyway, if anything cannot be redirected I will happily ignore them, I'm just generally in the dark on approaches to geographic features and locations. The birds of SWA articles needed some love, as I found one, although I tend to overdo it and smother them. I helped with our red-cap parrot, now a feature, that is probably a better read. The most enjoyable part is connecting up the work done by others on state articles. cygnis insignis 02:48, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. the article is great cygnis insignis 02:56, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Stubs for these things will be helpful as their locations emerge in any literature, but what you have been doing is creating interesting and distracting articles. I'll have a go at adding some notes from a book I am rereading today, Life on the rocks, which I highly recommend for an overview on the ecology and an amazing book. I found Granite outcrops of Western Australia for general discussion, and some species found on these might get a mention, but is there is any one of those that you favour for attention. By that I mean deep diving indices for notes on a particular location, worthwhile but more time consuming. I know some species of plant are only known to occur at one or two of the features, or were first collected at one of them, but individuals surveys of biota would also confer notability. Any thoughts on this topic are welcome, cheers again for sharing my interest in this. cygnis insignis 06:52, 4 December 2018 (UTC)n[reply]
There are some amazing maps that I may have access (not sure at this stage) to that actually identify and link with Lists_of_rocks_in_Western_Australia - the full range of named and identified rocks for the whole of the south west.... the complexity is that there is the european botanic and flora interpretation of them, and the much more obvious aboriginal perception of them as essential locations for water and food. It would be good to have a sense of how many of the items in the list actually have valid refs (or not) JarrahTree 06:59, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Anything you guys can add would be welcome, particularly flora and fauna information. The Aboriginal story is always sorely under represented and difficult to find. I'll try and cross a couple more off the Granite outcrops of Western Australia list in the next few days. (Broken by yet another trip to Perth) Cheers. Hughesdarren (talk) 09:15, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've got something to add on that topic to one named as Queen Victoria Rock, but wonder whether that is the listed here and at DPAW named Victoria Rock. The location and description sound about right, but there are so many things named for her I don't feel it is conclusive. I hope this is clear, even the mere mention of the greatest monarch in history has me feeling overwhelmed. cygnis insignis 10:48, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I can find one that is about 50km West of Kambalda [1], is this the one you're looking at? Not much else on it though... Hughesdarren (talk) 10:56, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"near the Coolgardie goldfields" but there is a unnamed species of Baeckea and it turns up as a landmark for locations of specimens, eg. "106 km south of Queen Victoria Rock on the road to Hyden, Western Australia". There is a nickel project with that name, that is the buzz on business intelligence wires, whether that means it is on it or near it I cannot ascertain. cygnis insignis 11:09, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I only just got my new page reviewer status back, will do a it of a tidy on it over the next little while so you may want to check it out in a couple of days. Merry Xmas and happy editing.
