message: Batrachia redirects to anura, but it isn't mentioned in the article. Is this another name for the order? -- Kjkolb 05:46, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Whoudn't it be more informative, and more in line with naming conventions, to name this article List of Anura?--nixie 23:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Whatever goes with concesus. I created this article when I had only just started editing Wikipedia, and was unsure as to the conventions (and hadn't discovered WP:TOL to ask). --liquidGhoul 04:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I don't think List of Anura is informative enough, how about List of Anuran families? --liquidGhoul 09:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Sounds good.--nixie 05:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Article name

message: Should the common name for the myobatrachidae family be changed to Australian ground frogs rater than Australian toadlets or froglets. Toadlets and Froglets refer to small frogs, frogs in Mixophyes, Heleioporus and Limnodynastes wouldn't be considered small.--Tnarg 12345 06:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I agree. I have made the change. I think Australian ground frogs is used more often as well. --liquidGhoul 08:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Myobatrachidae

message: Should the common name for the Hylidae family be change to to include something about the genus Cyclorana, or are they still considered "Tree Frogs"? Froggydarb 05:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Tree frog is still the common name for them. This is where common names are very weak, in that they cannot possibly account for all species. There are tonnes of non-arboreal tree frogs in the world, but it is very common for all Hylids to be called tree frogs. Common names are more about the history of the classification then they are about the actual animals. --liquidGhoul 09:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

message: This is a list of extant Anuran families - are there any extinct ones? -- ALoan (Talk) 14:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I really have no idea. There is an extinct species which is a "proto-frog", but is placed in the superorder of Salientia, and not included as an Anuran, so would not qualify this list. Frogs are not well represented in the fossil record, and those that are found, are usually grouped into an existing family, or, according to this site, some genera are not included within any families. --liquidGhoul 14:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Great - thanks.  Is that worth saying? -- ALoan (Talk) 15:09, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably. --liquidGhoul 00:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just found an extinct family, and have a feeling there are a few more. This one is Palaeobatrachidae (doesn't have an article, but the genus Palaeobatrachus does). --liquidGhoul 03:11, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is also Protobatrachidae (for example, the genus Triadobatrachus) -- ALoan (Talk) 10:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like it will take some research before I can add anything to the list. I will look into it next week. Thanks for the family. --liquidGhoul 10:45, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Could you add the number of species for each family. This information is useful and enriches the list. CG 14:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll see what I can do, but it is not an easy task so it may take a while. Thanks for the input. --liquidGhoul 14:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Number of species 

message: Not only is this a featured article, but it's also the only list of families referred to in the Frog article. That's why I find it all the more surprising that it lacks any kind of geographical information. The only way to make any comparisons in this regard is to open up the individual articles for each family. A solution might be to replace the column for "Example Species" with "Geographic range" and then to move the names of the example species to small captions below the images. Or, you might even want to remove the images entirely. --Jwinius (talk) 10:43, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
