I notice that you've proposed changing the notation on several pages. You might want to try WikiProject Physics for a centralized discussion. I also encourage you to join the project (WP:WikiProject Physics/Participants) if you aren't already part of it.Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 10:58, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anomalocarids & Co

I've tried to make the taxoboxes of these genera consistent. I did this in a conservative way, which I hope has most common support. An advanced way would perhaps remove the arthropods as direct subgroup of panarthropoda and place them close to schinderhannes (Devon), even closer than to anomalocaris (Cambrium). But may be this view gets more support with the time and taxoboxes should be reviewed then. --Ernsts (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opabinia

Thanks for your interest in the Opabinia article. However there are a couple of problems with your additions to the taxobox:

• The levels above "Kingdom: Animalia" are not supported by the cited sources.
• I'm not sure that adding "Sub-regnum: Opisthokonta" and "Domain: Eucaryota" is helpful to readers, and I'd only use those items at Animalia. While it appears the current consensus that animals (and fungi) actually are opisthokonts rather than a sister-group, so "Opisthokonta" as usually defined is paraphyletic, I would not care to bet on whether this will still be consensus in a few years' time, so I'd limit the number of articles that would need to be updated if there's a change. From a presentational point of view taxboxes are not a good medium for showing the whole of one branch of an evolutionary family tree, as cladograms can have an unlimited number of levels - try doing it for humans :-) --Philcha (talk) 09:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS if you think there's good reason to change taxoboxes for all these early critters, please discuss it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geology/Cambrian explosion - unlike some Wikiprojects, the Cambrian Explosion Taskforce is pretty active. --Philcha (talk) 09:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your sandbox

Hi, I assumed that User:Ernst/Sandbox was created in error and deleted it. Looks like you've noticed the error yourself and continued your work at User:Ernsts/sandbox. Let me know if there are any other issues! Also-- the page you're working on is currently showing up in the Category:Articles employing both superphylum and unranked_phylum. Currently, there is no support for taxoboxes that use both of those parameters. However, as early as tomorrow I hope I'll be able to make the necessary change to support both. Just beware that the unranked phylum (after today) will be displayed beneath the superphylum, as opposed to above it, where it currently is.

Disambiguation link notification for March 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Teyujagua, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Guarani. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Casper the octopus

There's an article about the character at Casper the Friendly Ghost, which is where this kind of "species named after cartoon" stuff should go. But the source you link to just says "This resulted in a ghostlike appearance, leading to a comment on social media that it should be called Casper, like the friendly cartoon ghost." - if the species ends up being written up as Somethingus casperii in reference to the cartoon character, then that could certainly be worth mentioning, but one person making one joke on social media is too early, and doesn't seem worth mentioning in the Casper article.

I'm afraid I don't know much about inclusion criteria for full articles about unnamed species. --McGeddon (talk) 14:41, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi McGeddon, Thanks for your comment. In fact we don't know what the species name once will be. Anyway there's a difference between a species name and an individual name (which may be a typus individual for a species). For example, Lucy is an individual name for the typus individual of the specific species Australopithecus afarensis, and cosse-eyed Heidi (May 2008 – 28 September 2011), Heidi Photo Gallery, was an individual of the species Viriginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), but - beware of - not the typus individual ;-). Casper the octopus may presumably become the typus individual for its species, no matter what the species name once will be - if there is sufficiant material about Casper for that purpose. So how do you think about adding casper to Casper the Friendly Ghost? :-) Ernsts (talk) 15:23, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Like I say above, "a comment on social media that it should be called Casper" seems nowhere near enough to mention the story in the Casper article. --McGeddon (talk) 15:54, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems I was misleaded by a German article in [1] telling that 'the scientists' had given the name (Casper), which now appears to be a mis-interpretation of the english original. So I agree with you. Ernsts (talk) 00:13, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

puzzling edit

I am puzzled by something you did in this edit. Was there a reason for writing

<math>Y] =</math> <math>\bigcup\limits_{D \subseteq{X}} [f:X \to Y]</math>

instead of the following?

<math>Y] = \bigcup\limits_{D \subseteq{X}} [f:X \to Y]</math>

I changed to to this:

: <math>Y] = \bigcup_{D \subseteq{X}} [f:X \to Y]</math>

without the \limits, since this was in a displayed context rather than inline, so \limits has no effect. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:29, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michael, I think it was in order to allow line wrapping there (in principle as there is no image on the right). Anyway your change looks fine. Thanks for notifying! :-) --Ernsts (talk) 22:03, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Symbiodinium, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Coccoid.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 05:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is by intention. Citation: The present disambiguation page holds the title of a primary topic, and an article needs to be written about it. It is believed to qualify as a broad-concept article. It may be written directly at this page or drafted elsewhere and then moved over here. Related titles should be described in Coccoid, while unrelated titles should be moved to Coccoid (disambiguation).--Ernsts (talk) 06:47, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! On behalf of WiTricity and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I've submitted a request at German Wikipedia to update the article's text re: funding.

Sci.News moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sci.News, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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.Onel5969 ^TT me 13:24, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
