Science lovers wanted! | |

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 20:02, 16 April 2012 (UTC) |

Hi. As an ICZN Commissioner and WP editor, I am interested to know what actual evidence you have to indicate that Wells' publication (that included the description of Wollumbinia) violates ICZN Articles 8 and 9. Neither article prohibits private printing and distribution of a work; so long as there was a print run (multiple, simultaneously-produced identical hard copies) and these were made publicly available, then the work is Code-compliant. I find it hard to believe there is tangible proof sufficient to reject this publication, or anything else Wells has privately printed, regardless of his work's merits or lack thereof. Even if his taxa are rubbish from a taxonomic standpoint, it does not mean his names can be ignored. While I personally agree with you that the Code would benefit from a requirement for peer review (you can confirm my public support for exactly such a provision by doing searches of various internet archives), it has not, does not, and presumably will not for the foreseeable future. That's a pity, I'd say, but neither you nor I alone can change that. More to the point, it is patently against Wikipedia policy to use Wikipedia articles as your proxy academic battleground, and your editing of articles concerning names which you have authored is clearly a violation of WP's conflict of interest policy and others like WP:OWN. For example, while you may be justified in pointing out the existence of a controversy by citing other authors besides yourself who have followed your lead (e.g., authors who have recognized Myuchelys over Wollumbinia), you can't simply state that Wells violated the Code if there has been no evidence offered in print. Without such evidence, or without an ICZN ruling suppressing Wells' names, all you are doing is making a personal claim that Myuchelys is the oldest available name for this group of species. As far as I can see, it is not, and just putting it in print does not make it so, nor justify placing your name in Wikipedia as if it were. Whatever differences of opinion there may be between yourself and Stephen Thorpe, as I reviewed the last two years of history for edits of the Myuchelys page, his have been in keeping with both Wikipedia policy (with which I can assure you I am well-versed, after well over 5,000 edits) and the ICZN (which, as an acting Commissioner, I am also well-versed with), while yours have not. With all due respect, Wikipedia is the wrong place for you to take your stand. As objectionable as the acts of taxonomic vandals may be, the rules - both of the Code and Wikipedia - are what they are, and both center on objectivity, and, as such, do not support your actions in either context. If you truly want the ICZN rules to change, then I do genuinely encourage you to mobilize as large a mass of practicing taxonomists from as many disciplines as you can muster, and push for reform (for which I would happily vote in favor), and quickly, before the next edition is set in stone; but please keep it off Wikipedia in the meantime.

Someone tried to submit an article on Aerius limius, also known as Flying Mud Shark to AFC. Can you check it out and be sure my decline was correct? I would assume if it existed, the information would exist somewhere on the internet, and I didn't see it. See Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Aerius limius.

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Turtles for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. –Mabeenot (talk) 05:57, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
