Hi. These pages you're making: Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis etc -- they are redirects that don't go anywhere! Why are you doing this? -- Tarquin 13:59, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Hi. After reading some discussions, I noticed that most wikipedians seem to think it is better to use common English animal names as an article entry rather than the latin names. The reason I make these redirects is because this way the scientific name redirects to the common name in stead of duplicating articles. I am writing these articles right now.

- Maybe it creates less confusion if you create those redirect after you create the main article. Another hint: If you write the ISBN in the correct style the wiki software here will automagically create a link which will guide you to possible book sources. andy 18:03, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Jurriaan, you have made me angry! I thought my Plumed Basilisk pic had been deleted and yet I could see no reason for you doing it! So I spent half an hour putting it back and improving the caption. Now I discover you have simply moved it to a Plumed Basilisk article. (By the way, the article title should surely not be the latin name, it should be Plumed Basilisk). Please always tell the person who put the picture on that it has merely been moved, to save the time I have just wasted. You only have to write in the Summary box of the Edit Page Pic of Basilisk moved to Plumed Basilisk and I would have understood everything.
Best Wishes

- Thanks for your answer on my Talk Page.
- It's clear you've understood that if you make a really major change then it's often a good idea (depending on your own judgement as to whether it's necessary) for the original author (or the provider of a pic in my case) to be given the reasons. This can be done on their Talk page or, more simply, in the Summary box
- In any case, don't forget to put some kind of remark in the Summary box, about what it is you've just done, unless the Edit is very minor in which case just click in the This is a minor Edit box and leave the Summary box blank.
- Did you know about signing your messages here (or anywhere else) with four tildes? That's the wavy line thingy, it will be on your keyboard, probably to the left of the main Enter key, living with the Hash key. Then the time and your username will be automatically added. Try it!
- Cheers from Adrian.

Thanks for the info on animal and plant names. I work a lot with scientific names of birds, and the rules are different. So that KRUGER part looked really out of place. So, thanks again for letting me know. Kingturtle 17:20, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Hi Jurriaan- can you explain what a Takydromus is? I looked at the page and was none the wiser! (ie, could you include some more detail rather than just the classificatuion info) Cheers quercus robur 12:36, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Thanks for all your hard work on the classifications. But could you please give some descriptions on each article so the common user knows what biological entity is being classified? thanks! Kingturtle 19:14, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
