Talk:Lists of IUCN Red List critically endangered species

message: The IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria Version 3.1 document contains a detailed description of what critically endangered means.  Could some of this information be pulled into this article? Srippon (talk) 04:10, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: IUCN Category

message: when I type critically endangered it always gets redirected to endangered
unless I capitalize both words. Could someone redirect critically endangered to this page for me since I'm a newbie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallosuchus (talk • contribs) 
:Done. Thanks for pointing that out. —Pengo 04:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirect problem

message: Perhaps the list contained in this page should be moved to the list of critically endangered species page? I would do it myself but I don't feel knowledgeable enough about the ins and outs of wikipedia to know if this would be following proper format.
:The list of critically endangered species page is actually identical to the vulnerable species page.  (All of the species on both pages are actually vulnerable, at least the ones I can verify.)  List of critically endangered species should probably be deleted, or eles erased and replaced with what is here at least, unless someone h as a more complete list.  I've tried looking at the IUCN red list page but I'm tired and can't navigate it well right now.  I'll try looking when I have more time, unless someone hopefully figures this out first.

replies: text: List of critically endangered species is just a copy of this page and doesn't even have as much content, so can basically be redirected. However, this article itself contains virtually no information besides the list. Unless the concept of critical endangered species can be expanded beyond a simple list into at least a few paragraphs of prose we may as well move this article to the other one.

thread_title:  List? 

message: The chamois is listed as Least Concern on its page.  Why is it listed here under "critically endangered"?
:I've removed it as well as the Sika, as these species are both listed as Least Concern. CecilPL 14:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Would this list be easier to maintain if it were made a Category? Xiner 00:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It needs to remain list to arrange them into groups and describe the concept. :Category:Critically endangered species exists as well though. Richard001 02:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to Category? 

message: I resolved the problem, it was much easier than arguing just to move the smaller page into the larger one, it added a sum total of ten lines and is now fixed.  Meissmart 22:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: So, the "Bird" section is incredibly long (150+ species). Would it be worthwhile to split this section off into its own article? -Mukk 23:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The 26 January 2010, I have extracted a list of all critically endangered species marked by the IUCN Red List (see the following link  : http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/search/link/4b5f32c8-f7c53e43), but now the article is extremly long and very hard to edit. It should be split, but I don't know what would be the best solution. Please bring one. - Galmicmi (talk) 17:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Is this a joke?  Is this an unusual name for a genuinely endangered type of animal and not simply the name of some person?  I think it is likely a joke, but I'm not sure.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.198.3 (talk) 22:58, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I am going through the whole list and I was wondering where to put 'Critically endangered, possibly extinct', 'Not Recognized' and 'Data Deficient' species. Also how can I find out information about the species that don't have wikipedia articles? Through the IUCN website?

replies: text: The IUCN database is the usual source for 'conservation status' in taxoboxes. See Wikipedia:Taxobox usage#Conservation status for details of usage. The naming convention for articles about birds is given at Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds#Bird names and article titles. -- Donald Albury 18:33, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Where should I put these?

message: User "151.202.98.150" added "All-America" under "See Also". Does this look like vandalism to anyone else?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.76.15.150 (talk) 14:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: There does not seem to be any pattern to the order of the headings. Any thoughts on whther they should be ordered, and if so, what order? -- Donald Albury 10:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Hey, 
The Walia Ibex is down on this page, but on its own page it is "only" down as endangered... Anyone know what it is?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mart the Moor (talk • contribs) 19:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I think it would be nice if species with common names had them in parentheses after the binomial nomenclature.  If no one objects I might start working on it.  Gyrovagus (talk) 04:28, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the information is on the IUCN website, but I think It shouldn't be done for many reasons:
*A species can have one ore more common names while there is always only one binomial name. With the common name, you never know which one is the good one.With the binomial name, you are always sure.
*It would increase the size of the list which is already big.
*If you know the binomial name, you just click on it.If you know one of the common name, you can look for it with the google search tool included with wikipedia. 
**If the article has already been created, it's probable you will find the correspondence with the binomial name on the article.
**If the article has not already been created, someone who creates it will certainly remember to add in it the binomial name.
*This article is just a list which list threatened species, i think it's main goal is to help wikipedians to creates articles on threatened species which are not yet created and to have a global view on threatened species.It shoouldn't contain any more content.

replies: text: These "articles" are absolutely useless to encyclopedia readers without at least a common name in English. Right now it's just a raw data dump (and possibly a copyright violation) that biologists and editors can find elsewhere, in better formats, if desired. I think these should be either deleted or turned into articles about the lists. 68.190.151.103 (talk) 19:50, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
