User talk:Megaraptor

Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

• Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
• Templates are there to help you to follow our syntax and formatting standards.
• Have a look at Done and to do.

If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome!

I see you have already started contributing. Wonderful. Just a note to let you know that the article name for species is the full name: genus and species. E.g. your article C. bauri should really be Coelophysis bauri. Otherwise the number of conflicting names would be incredibly high. (And we already have issues with the same genus name in plants and animals.) It is easy to rename an article. Simply use the move button and move it to the new name. Thanks.Open2universe 23:12, 29 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, a similar remark as above: If you made a mistake in a name, e.g., do not blank a page, just move it to the correct name (use move button). If something has really gone wrong, add the {{delete}} template on the page. An admin will then delete that page.
You may also want to have a look at other page or the changes to your contributions as to how to formatt your content. Taxon names should be in latin, species can be formatted using templates or available spreadsheets, etc. thanks -- Lycaon 09:35, 2 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
