There must be a difference on our systems

On my system, I was SHRINKING the lead photo, by a significant amount, at Penis with both edits. Were my edits making it larger on yours? Very odd. Frankly, your reducing it a further 20px wasn't much of a change but I'm fine with it. Must have been a system difference though, since every time you said I was enlarging it, it was shrinking on my copy. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:10, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On my browser (Chrome) it was definitely larger. The 20px reduction put it in the same width of the infobox. What is your system? We could share screenshots and, if there is actually a difference in rendering, ask what is going on technically. cyclopiaspeak! 16:15, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, that's interesting. I'm using Edge Chromium so wouldn't have expected much of a difference. I'll do a test revert so I can capture a screenshot, hang on. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:17, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to revert, just use the history. cyclopiaspeak! 16:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here you can find the difference. cyclopiaspeak! 16:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah thanks! I wasn't actually going to revert; I was just capturing screenshots from the previews. That's handy, thanks. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Available here https://easyupload.io/2vm2ly. I suspect the "original" image (with no width specified, last image) was at a 495px width as that's the preview size. Current version of Edge is 130.0.2849.80 64-bit. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:28, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. On your file, it is clear that your 440px edit is clearly larger, exactly as I saw. cyclopiaspeak! 16:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah no sorry, missed the last page! Ok that's indeed different from my case, and weird. I wonder if it is also because I use another skin (Monobook)? cyclopiaspeak! 16:38, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, that could be...I'm still using Vector Legacy. Maybe that's the difference? Eh, regardless, it's resolved now! Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The skin seems to make no difference. Firefox on my system (Ubuntu Linux) shows the original image in this edit small as well. cyclopiaspeak! 16:42, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then that IS weird. Maybe something particular to Edge Chromium or my specific setup? I checked the image differences on my iPhone (Safari) and the 440px and no-width images appeared the same there also. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:45, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just tried Chrome on my system; 440px and no-width are the same size there too. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's Edge. The images I posted were on my work computer; when I switch to my personal, 440px and no-width appear the same there also. The work laptop is used heavily for graphics editing and publications, so perhaps there's some atypical default setting that's mucking with the browser? I'll have to do more exploration.

FYI

Tardigrade is going through GAN now. I'm responding to the reviewer's comments. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd better add (not sure if you saw the above, maybe not) that the concern is that the text has drifted from the cited sources. Over the years a very large number of sources of variable quality have been added, and many parts of the text have been edited at random so that it is close to impossible to see what text came from which source, if indeed some of it wasn't WP:OR. Anyway, I am now in the process not just of GAN but of fixing the OR/years of editing/wobbly source issue in the middle of the review, so it'd be much appreciated if you could hold off for now. After the review we can of course discuss further improvements. Many thanks! All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:25, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, sorry! cyclopiaspeak! 15:32, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gosh, that was a sharp intervention in the GAN. I've replied there, but in future it'd really be appreciated if you'd have discussions like that on my (or your) talk page as it's less likely to disrupt the GAN. Reviewers are hard to find, the GAN queue is long (often many months), and the last thing one wants is to have to start over. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the concern, but I believe -for transparency and consistency- that discussions about article content belong to the article talk page, and given that your recent substantial edits were related to the GAN process, I felt the discussion belonged there. After all, we have no deadline. Thanks! cyclopiaspeak! 22:00, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed the changes were well justified by the GAN process. You may like to know that I've restored the materials deleted from Tardigrade in the new article Environmental tolerance in tardigrades, where there is scope for more coverage as the area is further researched than is feasible in the parent article. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:21, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thanks a lot :) cyclopiaspeak! 11:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Book on de-extinction and why some do not consider backbreeding true de-extinctions?

Hello, I saw your comment on why the now deleted Necrofauna page should be removed, and I have a few questions about it.

  1. What is the name of your book?
  2. Why is backbreeding not considered a true method of de-extinction in species like aurochs, rastreador Brasileiro, and Floreana giant tortoise by some? The animals produced from these breeding programmes ressemble the original extinct species physically and genetically, have the same capabilities, and play the same ecological and societal roles that the original species did.
  3. Do you consider the tsori, Judean date palm, and Montreal melon to be de-extinctions, or do you consider them Lazarus taxons? None of these species die out for good. unlike other current de-extinction candidates like the thylacine or woolly mammoth, as they were still "alive" in a dormant state as seeds. However, they were incapable of naturally growing without human intervention.

Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 21:42, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Sorry for the late reply!
  1. My book is this one: I see you know Italian, therefore perhaps you can have a look! (unfortunately it has only been translated in German so far)
  2. Backbreeding does not generate a genetically similar breed to the extinct one, only somehow phenotypically similar mocks. The auroch is an example I discuss in the book - the breeds generated by the Heck brothers are not really genetically similar to aurochs (and even their phenotypical resemblance is highly doubtful). See breeding back where there is a discussion. This doesn't mean building ecological substitutes of extinct species is worthless, they might have a positive impact, but it's another matter. Honestly I do not think there is anything near a consensus for backbreeding to be considered de-extinction, but I admit it's a while I do not look at the issue.
  3. That's a very good question! I guess it's matter of semantics. To me they are "de facto" de-extinctions, since while there were alive individuals, technically, they were dormant seeds and no reproductive individual has been alive for centuries. However I understand they are on a twilight zone compared to e.g. the Pyrenean ibex de-extinction attempt or the mammoth de-extinction projects.
cyclopiaspeak! 10:59, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for the reply! I personally consider backbreeding de-extinction, as they ressemble the original species physically and genetically, fulfil the same societal or ecological niche, and have the same capabilities in most cases. For example, the back breed Brazilian dogs have the same high sense of smell that the originals possessed. However, I can understand why other may not consider it true de-extinction when compared to cloning (Pyrenean ibex), genome editing (Woolly mammoth), or assisted reproduction (Northern white rhinoceros).
It is really up to the IUCN, WWF, or local wildlife organisations to determine whether the back breed, or any de-extinct animals are the originals or not though. Rewilding Europe and Tauros plan to have their aurochs evaluated by the IUCN and similar organisations as recognised species sometime this year, it will be their decision to whether they will be considered aurochs or a new species.
I actually started studying German recently for academic purposes. I am a native Castilian Spanish speaker, but I have studied many other languages such as English, French, Mandarin, Arabic (Darija), Italian, and now German. I will definitely read your book once I reach an intermediate understanding of German. :) Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 01:57, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
