Auckland Museum Wiki-Award

[edit]
The Auckland Museum Wiki-Award
Congratulations Shaun! You've received the The Auckland Museum Wiki-Award as a thank you for creating the article on Subantarctia turbotti. Great job! --Prosperosity (talk) 09:27, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. I'm glad I could help :) AxonsArachnida (talk) 21:30, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Diploplecta australis

[edit]

Hi,
Just though you should know there is already an article over by Drapetisca australis. The article that you created should have been redirected to Drapetisca australis as Drapetisca australis and Diploplecta australis are synonyms. — YoungForever(talk) 02:06, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @YoungForever. Thanks for informing me. Nice spotting as well. I'm a bit unclear how to proceed here. How can the genus name for the preexisting article be changed? It should be Diploplecta australis (as you noticed). AxonsArachnida (talk) 02:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You should have move the page instead of creating a new article. I moved the page for you. — YoungForever(talk) 02:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. Thanks for that. AxonsArachnida (talk) 02:33, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Clubiona contrita

[edit]

Afternoon! I've just added in image from iNaturalist of Clubiona contrita, ID'ed by Steve Kerr with a justification for the ID. I noticed that you uploaded iNaturalist images for a few other spiders but not for C. contrita, so I thought I should double-check. --Prosperosity (talk) 23:55, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Prosperosity. Thanks for that. I'm personally a bit hesitant to trust that image. C. contrita is supposed to be functionally identical to C. cambridgei, which overlaps in distribution. They can only reliably separated by genitalia, so the observation may not actually be C. contrita. I suppose it doesn't make too much difference though since they're identical. AxonsArachnida (talk) 00:04, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair - would you prefer it left up or taken down?
Alternatively, I think this observation has a close-up of genitalia (or possibly a mandible, my arachnid anatomy isn't that great) - I could ask the uploader if she'd be interested in changing the license, if you like? Prosperosity (talk) 00:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's good you pointed out that other observation, I didn't see the extra photos in there confirming the ID. You're correct in saying it's the genitalia in the photo (it's the male palp). I actually know the observer, so I'll ask if she's willing to change the license. AxonsArachnida (talk) 00:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, when I look at the permissions for the observation it says it's CC BY 4.0. Shouldn't that mean it can already be used? Or is there something I'm missing? AxonsArachnida (talk) 00:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That would be amazing, thank you.
That's a little quirk of iNaturalist - for this observation, the data itself is CC-BY, but the images are under a CC-BY-NC license (which you can't use on Commons) - you need to go through the photos and change the license that way. Prosperosity (talk) 00:39, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All sorted! AxonsArachnida (talk) 03:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Similar question for Clubiona peculiaris - are there any potential identification problems with the iNaturalist photos? Prosperosity (talk) 01:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's a bit easier to ID. This one looks like a great example: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/33928896 AxonsArachnida (talk) 01:56, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like someone had already added that image to Commons in 2021! I've added it to the article. Prosperosity (talk) 03:47, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Acroaspis decorosa

[edit]

I've just come across Acroaspis decorosa, which the NZOR describes as indigenous, not endemic, but there's no evidence of the species being anywhere but NZ. Any ideas why they might have put indigenous? --Prosperosity (talk) 20:48, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get back to you on this. Ill need to do a little digging. AxonsArachnida (talk) 23:21, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the delay. So my understanding is that the NZOR status was based on the New Zealand Threat Classification assessment of this species which listed it as "Secure Overseas". The reason for this is that the people who made this assessment saw that in Court and Forster (1988) that is was mentioned to probably be an Australian species. Subsequent publications haven't been able to prove this, so I think endemic as you've suggested would be the correct status to give it at the moment.

Autopatrol granted

[edit]

Hi AxonsArachnida, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 19:33, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
