Ferndale Park

It may be true that there are many "Ferndale Park"s worldwide, but there is a single one listed on Wikipedia and there is no need to disambiguate in such cases, so the article can stay at Ferndale Park until there is another. Even if the article was moved, there would still be a link from Ferndale Park to Ferndale Park, New South Wales, so there is little point in moving it. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:29, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

There is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferndale_Park_Trail, another Ferndale Park in Melbourne. People in Chatswood might look up this article when researching the Chatswood West walking trail. People in Melbourne might read the Chatswood article and vice versa. It is ambiguous. Please fix up this situation Filikovalo (talk) 23:18, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Ferndale Park Trail is about a bicycle trail within a park. It's fairly obvious from the content that it's not in Chatswood West so there is no ambiguiity. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:07, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Nice spider article

Good to see your article at Philoponella congregabilis; we need more spider editors. Keep up the good work! If I can advise or help in any way, leave me a message on my talk page. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:34, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your remarks. Sorry I misidentified the spider image previously attached. I've seen community nests of Philoponella congregabilis nearby, but mistook the spider for the similar Zosis geniculatus. I'm currently searching for an opportunity to photograph Philoponella congregabilis. No success as yet. They are mostly brownish in colour, not grey. There's plenty of spiders here nearby which need articles. I'll get proper ID from the Australian Museum next time. Filikovalo (talk) 01:55, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, spider identification is often difficult, and I'm doubtful of quite a few images in Commons. In most cases you need to look at a dead specimen with a binocular microscope. I have to say that even then I can't always match what I see with the diagrams in books! So if you can upload reliably identified spider images, it would very useful to the project.

Stink bug australia listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Stink bug australia. Since you had some involvement with the Stink bug australia redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. PamD 09:20, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

There are many types of insects in the world known as "stink bugs". The common name "bronze orange bug" is not common at all, and in my experienced never used by Australian gardeners. The purpose of this redirect is for Australian users to find information regarding this insect. Without it (and the scientific name), there is little or no way for an Australian enquirer to find the page. They would need to go to a web browser search for "Australia" and "stink bug", then find the scientific name, and then put that into Wikipedia. In other words, without this redirect, the potential readers may never find this page. There's too many different non Australian references in Wikipedia for "stink bug" for the average user to find the correct page. If a Wikipedia editor is aware of a better way for an enquirer to find Musgraveia sulciventris, then please employ it on Wikipedia. Remember, that the average user would not know the scientific name and would not be aware of the term "bronze orange bug" Filikovalo (talk) 01:38, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Eucalyptus brunnea

Hello Filikovalo,

Thanks for your work. The edits you have written to the species Hibiscus macilwraithensis, Dillwynia elegans, Hibiscus tozerensis, Gossia floribunda and Stenocarpus davallioides, are great articles and all are listed as accepted names by the Australian Plant Census ("APC"). (Only Gossia floribunda is accepted at the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families("WCSP") because that list only includes "selected" families.) However, I do not agree with your last edit to Eucalyptus deanei.

The only hope we have of working out which Australian species are "accepted species" is those two lists, APC and WCSP. Eucalyptus brunnea is not listed in either of them. I appreciate that you have contacts at the National Herbarium of New South Wales, but the website "plantNet" has not been updated for many years. It is one of those "outdated references on the internet" to which you refer. The botanists you refer to may say "Wikipedia is "very poor" in not recognising this species" but we have to rely on a published authority and the authority is the WCSP or the APC.

It is true that The Plant List includes Eucalyptus brunnea as an accepted species but clicking on the link (record 72573) returns Eucalyptus brunnea as a synonym of Eucalyptus deanei, the same result as for the APC.

In your edit to the Eucalyptus deanei article you have included the phrases "many leading sources" and "other scientists" without identifying any of them. In your references, you listed:

• Dean Nicolle, but without any published reference to your claim that he supports E. brunnea as a separate species;
• Ken Hill at the RBGS, who retired 14 years ago;
• "Joel Cohen, Gavin Phillips and others at the New South Wales Herbarium", but that is not a reliable source because their opinion is not published (see WP:CS);
• a reference to the Australian Plant Name Index ("APNI") but it lists "all names, whether current names, synonyms or invalid names" and at present, E. brunnea is a synonym.

If there is something I have missed and you have reliable, published references for your claim, please let me know. (Here is fine.) Gderrin (talk) 10:52, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Since you have contributed to other articles without responding to this, I hope you will not object to my removing your reference to "many leading sources" and "other scientists". Gderrin (talk) 07:37, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Halfordia kendack

Hello Filikovalo,

I noticed your edit to Halfordia kendack (thanks!), so thinking that page is probably on your watchlist I'm advising as follows. Halfordia kendack is the only species in the genus Halfordia according to the Australian Plant Census and Plants of the World Online (although there are problems with the latter, since it lists the distribution as New Caledonia, not Australia!). My intention is to swap the pages Halfordia and Halfordia kendack, then create a redirect from the latter to the former so that there is only one page about Halfordia, that describes the one species (as required here). It's a tricky process. Just asking for your patience until it's complete. Gderrin (talk) 03:59, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

References

OK, I started that article under a different name. I'd be wary of your sources. I go by the National Herbarium of New South Wales. They are the authority on this species. Unwise Wikipedia editors have made errors with NSW plant species. Such as Eucalyptus brunnea, which is an accepted and correct species. Editors use references are out of date and incorrect.
