[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 23:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wildlife Barnstar

There is currently a barnstar proposal at Wikipedia:Barnstar and award proposals/New Proposals#Wildlife Barnstar for a barnstar which would be available for use for this project. Please feel free to visit the page and make any comments you see fit. Badbilltucker 15:27, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Veterinary medicine project

There is now a proposed project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Veterinary Medicine to deal with matters of veterinary medicine, a subject which currently has disproportionately low content in wikipedia. Any wikipedia editors who have an interest in working on content related to the subject are encouraged to indicate as much there. Thank you for your attention.

[edit] Cladistics FAR

Cladistics has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. Sandy (Talk) 23:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Over taxonomie en naamgeving

Het is raadzaam om voor taxonomie en naamgeving gewoon de door Unitas Malacologica gesteunde projecten te volgen. Dit zijn CLEMAM en CLECOM, respectievelijk de mariene en de niet-mariene mollusca bestrijkend. In beide projecten participeren de beste Europese malacologen. Beide projecten zijn op het web met een site aanwezig:

De meeste (natuurlijk helaas niet alle) publicaties volgen deze nomenclatuur en taxonomie. Voor Nederlandse naamgeving (waar ik overigens zelf grote moeite mee heb omdat die voor mollusken heel artificieel is) bestaat er ook een standaard:

  • Bruyne, R.H. de, Bank, R.A., Adema, J.P.H.M. & Perk, F.A. (1994) Nederlandse naamlijst van de weekdieren (Mollusca) van Nederland en België. Feestuitgave ter gelegenheid van het zestigjarig jubileum van de Nederlandse Malacologische Vereniging. Backhuys, Leiden. 149 pp. ISBN 90-733-48-33-1

Het is niet de bedoeling dat Wikipedia er een eigen naamgeving op na houdt. Wikipedia valt net als iedere andere publicatie onder de regels van de ICZN en moet dus gewoon de 'standaard' volgen. Dat geldt voor elke wikipedia, natuurlijk niet alleen de Nederlandstalige. Wikipedia-nl moet dus niet Wikipedia-en volgen, maar beide moeten de standaard volgen dan kan er nooit iets mis gaan.

Los van het bovenstaande ben ik zelf van mening dat de Nederlandstalige wikipedia zich zou moeten onderscheiden door de nadruk te leggen op de Belgisch/Nederlandse traditie. Bv., als er voorbeelden van malacologen genoemd/getoond moeten worden noem/toon dan iemand uit die traditie en niet een amerikaan (hoe goed die ook geweest mag zijn). Ik weet best dat een encyclopedie 'neutraal' moet zijn, maar er zijn niet voor niets wikipedia in verschillende taalgebieden. Hetzelfde geldt voor de opgenomen mollusken. Pagina's met beschrijvingen van soorten uit het Noordzeegebied, België, Nederland zouden prioriteit moeten hebben boven soorten uit andere gebieden. Wat niet wil zeggen dat ze niet opgenomen zouden kunnen worden. Van onze eigen regio weten wij het meest (hoop ik) en de kluif daaraan is al groot genoeg. --82.215.13.100 15:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] anatomy of gastropod

I need help or verify description of image of anatomy at Gastropoda page. --Snek01 20:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

  • I would like to transfer images from Category:Gastropod images to commons and keep there only only non-free images (if any). --Snek01 09:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

  • How to categorize articles in gastropods category? Categories Category:Snails and Category:Slugs are completelly unused. Categories with family name are too much, about few hundreds. Categories with ordo name demand deeper knowledge in gastropoda taxonomy and even it is instable and changing. Categorie marine/land/freshwater gastropods are possiible. But categories with family names are possible too, they can be all for example in Category:Gastropods by families and/or they can be in systematic Category:Gastropods by classification. Any suggestions appreciated. --Snek01 01:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Pesonally I feel that we should start with the two Subclasses under Gastropods: Eogastropoda & Orthogastropoda, then work our way down to Superfamilies. In those special cases where there are a large number of Families maybe they should have a category as well. With the way the new categories list there would not be a need for Category:Gastropods by families as all the categories show up as subcats in the parent category. Just my opinion.

[edit] Neritoidea confusion

  • Family Chilodontidae is listed at the Neritoidea page yet it goes to a fish page. Can someone elaborate? Nashville Monkey 04:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Chilodontidae Wenz, 1938 [non Pisces: Characiformes] {placement fide Golikov & Starobogatov, 1988 ex Trochoidea} belongs to the order Neritoidea. However the same has been given to a small family of ray-finned fishes in the order Characiformes. In my opinion, a disambiguation page is needed. JoJan 08:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re-stubbing

I've gone through the Cat:Mollusc stubs and re-stubbed all 187 Gastropoda entries as {{gastropod-stub}} this will hopefully help keep track of articles needing work and expansion. Just a FYI. Nashville Monkey 04:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Project page revamp

Thought I'd make the intro page a little more ... enticing, in order to maybe help attract participants. If the group doesn't like it it can always be reversed. Let me know what you think about the changes please. Nashville Monkey 02:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Well done. I like it. JoJan 09:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, now I'm really done, did some splitting into areas... Nashville Monkey 03:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Technical Terminology Definitions

What does taxonomically consistent mean? --Dr Finkbottle 20:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

From how I understand it, it's making sure each level of the taxobox agrees with both the higher level box as well as those lower in the listing. Gastropods recently underwent a major reclassification and some pages still reflect the old classification system... Nashville Monkey 03:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
