Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Crab, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Menippe. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Smile emoji Hi Cougroyalty! Thank you for your edits to Alligator. It looks like you've copied or moved text from Alligatoridae into that page, and while you are welcome to do so, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 02:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I forgot to mention where I copied it from that time. I'll make sure to add a link to the copied page in the edit summary in the future. Thanks. Cougroyalty (talk) 04:07, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

About croc phylogenetics

The morphological data set used by Lee and Yates has a very high error rate. More recent studies have been published using more reliable data, and they should be used wherever possible. If one of those trees came from a different source, it wasn't evident. Email me if you want to discuss this further. (As whatever deity or deities may or may not be my witness, I'm not trying to be a jerk here. You've done a ton of work, and it's mostly very, very good.). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cabrochu (talkcontribs) 01:10, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cabrochu: Yeah, the second cladogram on the Alligatoridae page was referencing 2013 Hastings et al. and Brochu 2011. It was a more detailed cladogram of just Alligatoridae. I can probably find a more recent cladogram for that one. I'm thinking the 2020 Cossette & Brochu study (free access). But for a good Crocodylia cladogram to replace the one from the 2018 Lee & Yates study, perhaps I could go with the 2021 Rio & Mannion study. Also, I noticed you removed the cladogram on Grypsuchinae, so maybe I could use Rio & Mannion there as well. What are your thoughts on the new data set in the 2021 Rio & Mannion study?
