Portal talk:Amphibians and reptiles

message: I'm glad to announce that The Amphibians and Reptiles Portal (P:AAR) has been created and is ready for you to use. This portal covers any subjects related to amphibians, reptiles, herpetology, as well as WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles. 
Purposes of the portal
* to act as the "main page" for editors interested in amphibians and reptiles. The portal page should contain all the common and useful links to relevant articles, lists, categories, as well as the project tasklist. As this portal is your tool, please feel free to organize, modify, or expand the Topics, Categories, Lists, and Tasklist sections of the portal as you see fit. 
* to recognize works of AAR editors via the "Selected Article of the Month" and "Selected Picture of the Month." You can participate in this process by nominating and voting for articles and pictures that you think deserve to be presented for each month. Selected articles and pictures receive a recognition messagebox on talk pages. 
* to lead potential AAR editors to WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles as well as to educate general readers. Feel free to add more items for the "Did you know..." section.
Thank you for reading. If you have any questions, please leave them on the portal talk page or my user talk page. --Melanochromis 09:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Not only is it a good thing to create articles for each genus and ensure all articles between family and genus rank are taxonomically consistent, but it should be encouraged that editors move descriptions of common characteristics to articles for higher taxa. An article on a genus should contain more than just a list of species (with no mention of the taxonomy being used). Typically, general characteristics are repeated over and over again in the species articles, which invites inconsistency. We need to be making much more use of the taxonomic hierarchy. --Jwinius 12:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The article of the month, the picture of the month and the "Did you know" section of this portal aren't functioning properly...I'm not sure what the problem is...if I did I'd fix it myself...could someone check this out and then post the fix procedures so I'll know in the future....Thanks
---Fixed by undoing a format change that may have caused the problem....thanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.237.40.62 (talk) 12:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The TV series was educational - I watched it and thought it was great. The Show was entertaining and that too was great. IMO the show should be moved to it's own page; length of page is becoming awesome and the show can grow larger in time too. The episodes could possibly lengthen too.  Piandao  19:42, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello,
while checking iw for fr: articles on reptiles, I found that template  is out of date. It still point to JCVI site, which do not hosts ReptileDatabase anymore.
It is now hosted on Reptarium.cz. You may update your template. If it can helps you, you can check our own template :fr:Modèle:ReptileDB genre (and their brothers for species and family, :fr:Modèle:ReptileDB espèce and :fr:Modèle:ReptileDB famille).

thread_title:  Problem in EMBL template 

message: Hi,
I am the curator of the reptile database at http://www.reptile-database.org. While I am not a regular contributor to Wikipedia, I would like to improve linking to and from the two sites. However, adding links to our site gives me warnings about spams. How can I avoid those warnings and add links more systematically? Sorry about my ignorance. Thanks!

message: Hi guys, recently I overhauled the article Spiny-tailed monitor. Because I'm not a native english speaker, I would be very glad if someone checked the article for bad style or missspellings. --79.224.232.4 (talk) 11:59, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi, you might want to add the Lygosoma veunsaiensis to your "Picture/Article of the Month" and/or some other notary page.  It was discovered in 2010, but was only announced to the public this week.  Many news organizations are picking up the announcement now.  Thanks. JunoBeach (talk) 23:27, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi I have continued on a discussion started earlier with some findings I have made over the last couple of weeks. It was put on hold by the death of Lonsome George, but in any case I have made some suggestions, got references and discussed it properly now. Would appreciate feedback.

message: Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject.      — The Transhumanist    03:21, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
