Talk:Stiphidiidae

message: Hi all - I've been starting work on the Cambridgea page and discovered that they're still pretty central to the Stiphidiidae page despite having recently been reassigned to the Desidae in the World Spider Catalogue which I have been informed is the go-to resource(?). I'm new to the wikipedia thing so don't currently have the skills to sort out all the redirects etc. so I just wanted to highlight that this will probably need to be changed. I'm happy to help but would need some guidance.

Talk:Atypoidea

message: So from what I understand, the definition of a burrow is always underground. If a spider is making a home under a piece of bark, that's not a burrow. Types of burrows for more info. Merriam Webster would agree. If they are living under bark, they are merely living under bark. That would be a shelter of some kind, i.e. no burrowing was done. Leitmotiv (talk) 18:30, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree that a burrow has to be constructed, i.e. there has to be the act of "burrowing". However, "burrowed into the wood" gets 28,500 Google hits; other similar terms such as "burrowed into the bark" or "burrowed into the foliage" can also be found. There are also lots of images of "beetle burrows" online, most of which are in wood. "Burrowing beetles" usually means ground burrowing beetles, but, as here, can also mean wood boring beetles. So, no, I don't accept that "underground burrows" involves redundancy; it clarifies. Peter coxhead (talk) 14:36, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: A couple things. Google searches generally aren't indicative of anything and are typically exaggerated by Google itself. Direct sources are really what's important, and I imagine you are correct and we could find some directly referencing wood burrowing or foliage burrowing. The other point which should probably take all the weight here, on whether or not "subterranean" is needed, is context. Is this a wood burrowing spider? Is it a foliage burrowing spider? In both cases, it appears not to be. Generally, a burrow is in the ground, and unless their is some confusion in which the reader could be mislead, than I don't see the need for distinction. 999 times out of 1,000, burrows are in the ground, and this spider is no different. However if it was an exceptional spider, than I could see a need to state it burrows in bark, or burrows in foliage, otherwise it is, generally speaking, redundant. In other words, a reader will understand what a burrow is - the only clarification needed is if it's atypical. And this spider doesn't meet that criteria.

text: Saved me some work! Yes, plus some explanatory text. The "+"s mean that the clade does not consist solely of the usual circumscription of the family. Thus if you look at the cladogram on p. 584 of the published 2017 version (I'd downloaded the online 2016 version in which it's p. 11), "Nesticidae +" includes Synotaxus/Synotaxidae. "Linyphiidae +" includes Weintrauboa yele/Pimoidae. So where the family is still recognized by the World Spider Catalog, the "+"s need expanding with the other family names.

message: The footnote says "including Textricellidae, treated as a separate family by Shear (1986)". This seems to be indicating that Micropholcommatidae includes Textricellidae in all treatments except Shear (1986). As Shear (1986) is the one study treating Textricellidae separately, it is the one treatment where "including Textricellidae" doesn't apply. Either the footnote needs to be on Micropholcommatidae, applying to the whole row and noting the exception, or it should say "excluding Textricellidae", as that is where Shear (1986) is different from the others.   Jts1882 | talk  11:41, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

I reached out to the observatory in the hopes they would give me more citations and upload photos and video for me. They never responded. I see wonderful photographs all over Internet but alas can not use them. One question I could not resolve was, is the telescope called a Challenger telescope (like a type of telescope) or is it simply named Challenger by the owners of the telescope? I've left the article ambiguous, hopefully someone will figure that out. Some articles I came across mentioned other articles like a AAA magazine that did an article on the observatory, but I could not find it online, that might be helpful. I'm sure there are a lot of newspaper articles that exist, but not on the Internet. I think in order to improve this article further the editor will have to get help from the group and get the citations from them, as well as the photos. At least this page is no longer a stub and I learned quite a bit while researching it, including "first light". I grew up in Salinas and half of my adult-life I was able to see the tower on the peak from a window in my home, some days the view was so pretty (not so much during the drought)  I've been to the observatory at least twice when the children were young, now I have a better appreciation of the place and if I get back there will take my own darn photos and upload them to WMC for use on the page. :-) Enjoy!Sgerbic (talk) 23:15, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

message: I’d like to dispute the accuracy of the mention of Naná Vasconcelos playing with Bjork, but I’m not sure how to proceed because I haven’t edited wikipedia before.
The idea seems to stem from a blog post by Ethan Sawyer where he claims that he saw Naná playing with Bjork in a youtube video. I contacted Sawyer and he sent me the links to the videos he wrote about. The links he sent were all from Bjork’s “Post” era in the mid-1990s. In one, where Bjork is on the Jools Holland show, some of the youtube comments also claim that Naná is playing. However, it is clear, as another youtube commenter also mentions, that it is not actually Naná, but rather Trevor Morais, a British drummer who looks a bit like Naná from a distance.
I wrote a biography of Naná (Naná Vasconcelos’s Saudades, Bloomsbury) and never found any other evidence of them collaborating during my 5 years of research. It is documented, however, That Trevor Morais was Bjork’s drummer in the 1990s. Here is his wikipedia page:
