Talk:Porcupine ray

message: Raja africana is noted as a synonym at Porcupine ray.  It is a regional sub-variant, without defined boundary or morphology from other porcupine rays.  If there is any differentiating information (none in the current version) then it should be introduced at the parent article. SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:02, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Two minutes between proposed merge and actual merge doesn't leave much room for discussion. Anyhow, I've reinstated the page, as it seems the merge was based on a misunderstanding. It is an entirely separate species, but the problem is the nomenclature, as two separate authorities have used the name Raja africana: First in 1801 where Bloch & Schneider used it to describe a population later considered a synonym of the porcupine ray. Almost two centuries later, Capapé, evidently unaware that someone already had used this name many years earlier, described a new species of skate as Raja africana. Two entirely separate species (not even in the same family), but only one name. Capapé's name is a homonym, but FishBase (the WP:FISH de facto species authority) still use it, although with reservations because of the problems with its nomenclature. Catalog of Fishes, Last et al. in Rays of the World (2016), Weigmann in Annotated checklist of the living sharks, batoids and chimaeras (Chondrichthyes) of the world, with a focus on biogeographical diversity (2016) and most other recent authorities have taken the same approach. A secondary problem is the validity of Capapé's species, but a future review is necessary to resolve that matter. I've added a small note to the wiki article explaining the problems.

Talk:Race Traitor (publication)

message: My edit on this article was reverted by . Let me therefore give some more background. We normally reserve the expression "academic journal" for a peer-reviewed academic publication. Of course, there are "journals" like the Wall Street Journal that even have the word in their title. Still, nobody would call the WSJ anything else than a newspaper. The same is going on here: those sources that I can access call this a "journal", but nobody is claiming that this was peer-reviewed and nobody will call this an "academic journal". We use the term "magazine" for any periodical that is not a newsletter, newspaper, or academic journal. --Randykitty (talk) 22:36, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You have ignored the reason given for the reversion, which is that the sources provided call it a journal.  As Reliable Sources go, so goes Wikipedia.  Certainly, we generally think of "journal" as referring to an academic peer-reviewed journal, but that is not the only type of journal that exists (and, no, I'm not referring to the WSJ or the Ladies Home Journal) - there are non-academic journals (which is what I believe Race Traitor was) and also non-peer-reviewed academic journals and even predatory journals.  Nowhere on Wikipedia -- as far as I am aware -- is it required that "journal" must refer to a peer-reviewed academic journal. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:47, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: And, BTW, neither the sources nor our article describe it as an "academic journal", just a journal. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:51, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Adriatic sturgeon

message: The headline to this on the main page makes it seem as if someone caught the fish and scientists verified it. Not the case at all. A fisherman caught and released the fish, posted photographs, and, later, a biologist commented about what it might mean. This information should be presented as it is. The Red List page sufficiently discusses that cobice sturgeon being caught today are probably released fish, not the offspring of either the native population or newly released fish spawning without making this sentence appear to be tied to something other than a posting anyone can make.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:380:545A:DB9C:FD90:6AEF:F418:6EEE (talk) 20:01, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Mmg records Inc

message: To Lognuts,
Why would the success of a label be defined of how a label distributes its music. Everyone in our business knows mechanical distribution is an ancient story to be in a few years. Please check up on the sites I've added and how many hits they get. With due respect, we don't think you did your research on your statement.
We also do mechanical distribution in Japan starting September.
In short, do not delete a neutral informative article about a small label that is formed and operated mostly by people working for major labels right now, this moment. We choose to form this label and the future out of wanting to survive. Digital distribution is the future. Why, how and when did this ever become a reason for deletion on Wikipedia.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by  Oncewereviking (talk • contribs).

Talk:Linda and Terry Fuller Track

message: I moved this article to Fuller Track because the John Walker Soccer Complex opened. Also, I cannot find what exactly this is called. Here's just a few of the conflicting names for the track:
*Terry & Linda Fuller Track and Field Stadium: , 
*Terry & Linda Fuller Track at The R.P. Fuller Athletic Complex: , 
*Linda & Terry Fuller Track: 
I think this source is just outdated:
*Robert P. Fuller Track: 
They all have Fuller Track somewhere in the name so until we can find a definitive name, I'm not going to bother fixing the existing links. After this article is moved again, then we can worry about double redirects. NThomas (talk) 19:39, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the buildings, etc., compose the R. P. Fuller Athletic Complex and the track itself bears the name Terry & Linda Fuller Track. I think the article should be R. P. Fuller Athletic Complex, and Fuller Track and Terry & Linda Fuller Track should redirect to it. For example, the court at Gallagher-Iba Arena is named Eddie Sutton Court. The article itself is named for the arena and there is no standalone article on the court. →Wordbuilder (talk) 20:07, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That makes perfect sense. I'll add a note in the body similar to what Gallagher-Iba Arena has about Eddie sutton Court.
