thread_title:  Add to article 

message: I say we get rid of these tables - they are difficult for inexperienced users to use and so may put people off from making requests. It's easier just to make a red link and add anything else that might be relevant, e.g. common name or sources. Richard001 (talk) 21:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Tables

message: I agree; formatting of the "Species and genera" page is currently screwed up (a single closing curly brace is now displayed on the line after the title--I don't know how to fix it, will leave it to someone else, but this particular matter needs attention).  SIMPLER IS BETTER.  philiptdotcom (talk) 23:41, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Yes" vote & formatting of page needs fixing

message: Seems like there was an extranous "new cell" designation after the last entry in the table.... but someone who knows what they're doing should double-check this.  Thanks!  philiptdotcom (talk) 23:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: I may have fixed the problem

message: It appears to be broken again... The page makes so much more sense now I know it's not supposed to look like that. --Beeurd (talk) 02:34, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Broken again

message: You guys are right.  I feel exactly the same way.  I hate the tables.  How can we make this page easier to use?  I just tried and gave up. Chrisrus (talk) 05:04, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Argghh

message: If it weren't for Chrisrus above me, I probably would have commented the exact same thing. So what can we do? Bc4444 (talk) 13:33, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Agreed.

message: The main page suggested I put the request here. Seems like a subject that would be of general interest--Mongreilf (talk) 15:50, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  Interspecific Adoption is a tiny subsection of the African Wild Dog article by this name, but Interspecies Adoption is a much easier title to understand.  There have been several notable incidents that come to mind: the ducks and songbirds who react to the gaping maws of orinimental carp by feeding them; the famous case of the lioness that famously adopted the gazzelle fawn; and so on.  Is there an article about this topic, and if so what is it called? Chrisrus (talk) 05:24, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm new to Wikipedia editing, but I don't see why we can't have a simple page with only links to other pages.
When one searches "New York Frogs", it comes up with a government website. We all know the quality of government websites. Horrible charts, and no pictures. So, why don't we compile links of all the different frog pages of frogs that live in New York, and put them on one page?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.89.151.188 (talk) 20:54, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  New York Species of Frogs 

message: A lot of genera in the family Cardiidae are missing. Out of the 28 listed, 13 are redlinks. A number of other articles mention the genera and their respective species. For example, on the Baltic Sea article (which is, while we're on the topic, full of redlinks), under the Biology section, it reads, "Since the Baltic Sea is so young there are only a few endemic species, such as the small cockle Parvicardium hauniense..."
Also, the list of genera on the Phengodidae family page shows 35 genera. All but one of those are redlinks.
Can something be done about this (meaning the necessary articles/redirects be created and the redlinks fixed)?
Thanks!

message: Not sure where to request this, so am trying here.  The newly discovered (and quite interesting) species Yawunik kootenayi needs an article.
