Ancyronyx

Hello. I don't know if you were aware of it, but I had finished writing an article on Ancyronyx on August 22 in my draft space, five days before your article. I didn't know about your version until today when I tried to move mine to mainspace. On reading your version, I deemed it safe to overwrite what you had already written completely, as I have also already discussed the same information (though in more detail). Feel free to look it over and see if I have taken out something which may still be relevant to the article.

As I had planned, I'm nominating the article for DYK. I'll credit you as co-author in light of what you had already previously written. Though I hope it doesn't get disqualified due to now failing to meet the 5x expansion criteria.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 08:11, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good to hear. :) Sorry for all this. This is the first time I've actually had something like this happen. I guess we just read the same science articles at the same time, heh. :P -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 00:30, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mercurana

Hello, a comment about your recent edit to Mercurana. You switched back to the abbreviated authors, saying that "More than two authors is abbreviated with et al. in ICZN". This is not entirely correct—the code only says the abbreviation may be used:

"The surnames (family names) of authors of scientific names should not be abbreviated. However, when a name was published by more than three authors, the surname of the first author (as given in the original publication) may be cited alone in the text and followed by the term "et al." (meaning "and others"); the names of all the authors should be cited in the bibliography."

So this is a matter of choice. I do not see "et al." used so much in Wikipedia articles on frogs though, and prefer to write them all out, but I do not have a strong opinion. Thanks for a nice article! Micromesistius (talk) 06:50, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, it is purely of choice, and I did not say ICZN imposed it. In fact, it is better to abbreviate, whether it is in Wikipedia or technical papers, if the complete authors are mentioned in the text (References, in this case). However, if there is no mention of the other authors other than the first anywhere in the text, it is honourable to credit all of them. Thanks for the attention. Chhandama (talk) 07:27, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you commented that "Zootaxa is not open-access" which is not entirely true either. The journal says: [It] has published more open access taxonomic papers than any other journal. Chhandama (talk) 08:17, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Zootaxa is a "hybrid" journal that offers open access for a fee (like almost all journals nowadays do). For example the Abraham et al. article is not open access. Usually journals that publish open-access papers only are called open-access journals. Micromesistius (talk) 16:00, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's the point I am making on saying not entirely true (I did not say not true). On the other hand, if all authors pay the publication fee, then it would be a fully open access journal, as most open access journals do. Chhandama (talk) 02:46, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Mercurana

Hello! Your submission of Mercurana at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.
