Howdy

Hey there. Can you help me edit the Largest prehistoric animals page in terms of sourcing? There's a few animals I want you to add.

1. Hippopotamus antiquus (The closest ancestral relative to Hippopotamus gorgops)

2. Livyatan melvillei (The largest macroraptorial sperm whale)

And a bonus one: Thalattoarchon saurophagis (The largest and most basal merriamosaurid ichthyosaur)

I mean no harm, and I'm new here. Lucasblakeman0 (talk) 20:16, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

@Lucasblakeman0: Please read WP:REFB. I reverted your changes because they were unsourced. You can add the material back if you can appropriately cite sources that meet WP:SIRS. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:30, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Okay. I am starting to do that, along with fixing grammar errors, too. Also, when it comes to sourcing for WikiPedia, I'm a novice with it. Lucasblakeman0 (talk) 20:36, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

You'll need to become good at it. We are nothing as editors without references. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:04, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Yeah. Well, I did it right. Go see for yourself. Plus, Thalattoarchon, H. antiquus and Livyatan should stay, too. They're also giants, too. Lucasblakeman0 (talk) 21:26, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Awesome! Good job! I've provided some additional helpful links on your talk page. - UtherSRG (talk) 22:08, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Okay. Also, can we add Cynognathus to the fray? I mean, it is technically the largest member of its clade, the Cynognathia. And also, can Tusoteuthis and Enchoteuthis of the Enchoteuthinae subfamily be added, too? Lucasblakeman0 (talk) 03:02, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the article. You'd best ask on its talk page. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:47, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Okay Lucasblakeman0 (talk) 15:35, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello

Please me by review my Draft:Minister of Forests and Environment (Nepal). 2001:DF7:BE80:1A5D:CDAE:4F73:8E3A:5E3E (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

No. I do not take review requests. Please wait your turn. There are 1900+ drafts needing review. Why do you think yours should jump to the front of the list? - UtherSRG (talk) 15:53, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Category:Batrachoidiformes has been nominated for merging

Draft: Christopher Ononukwe

You have practically and without mercy deleted my work Draft: Christopher Ononukwe despite improvements I have made on it. Please restore and consider for approval. Nwachinazo1 (talk) 23:57, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

You requested restoration. I declined it. You recreated it anyway. I deleted it. Twice. I've now salted the space. Please move on to another subject. - UtherSRG (talk) 23:58, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

I still don't why you are frustrating all my efforts and contributions on Wikipedia after the draft have been improved on. Please restore my draft and guide me on how to improve more on the draft which is reaching a year now. Just for this year, I have added additional verifiable, reliable and third-party independent sources to support notability and work on the perspective to avoid being referred to as a promotion content — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nwachinazo1 (talk • contribs) 00:16, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

No. Please move on to another topic. Do not continue this conversation. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:26, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

@Nwachinazo1: Nothing prevents you from creating a new draft as a subpage of your userspace. If the subject is capable of being improved upon, as you say, then you should be able to create a new draft from scratch from newer and better sources. BD2412 T 00:49, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from Slvlogsofficial (08:47, 27 January 2025)

Hello, I have submitted a review. Could you please check it and see whether it is okay? Thank you so much --Slvlogsofficial (talk) 08:47, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

@Slvlogsofficial: I do not do reviews on request. There are about 1900 other drafts that need reviewing. Why should yours jump to the head of the line? UtherSRG (talk) 12:06, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Important notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 177.76.240.32 (talk) 13:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Paradoxurus

At Paradoxurus, this is not WP:LIMITED. This content has issues of close paraphrasing/copying. For example: "deeply constricted shortly behind the well-developed postorbital processes" is closely paraprhasing the source text "deeply constricted a short distance behind the well-developed postorbital processes". An example of exact copying is "is considerably narrower than the interorbital area and than the muzzle above the canines". Therefore, this content needs to be removed as a copyright violation.

Let's keep this all on the article's talk. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:16, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Local link error

On the edit page for Causus lichtensteinii you added a "local link" for herpetologist David Mallow, which directs to the WP article for retired voice actor Dave Mallow. I don't think that they are the same person. My computer skills are limited, and I don't know how to create a "local link". Could you please correct this situation for me. Perhaps you could do something like you did for David Ludwig (herpetologist). Thank you. Lyttle-Wight (talk) 01:34, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Good catch. I've made the fix now. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:10, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! Lyttle-Wight (talk) 12:40, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

My edit on Cougar

Good morning,

In the Manual of Style, it says there is no consistent style that needs to be maintained for this kind of writing but it should adhere to the style of the article. As the rest of the article is formatted the way I edited, why are parentheses inappropriate? I am not saying you are wrong I am just trying to understand for the future. Thank you. Akyyka (talk) 15:59, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Parenthesis aren't a stylistic choice. For animal taxa, they indicate if that taxa name was how the author used it (no parens) or was moved after the authors naming (with parens). - UtherSRG (talk) 16:22, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
