Please review the ''Trigonopterus'' articles you created in mid-February of this year. Several I looked at are missing <nowiki><ref> and </ref></nowiki> tags for one of the references, and because they've no taxoboxes, the titles aren't italicised, e.g. [[:Trigonopterus toraja]], [[:Trigonopterus tomohonensis]], and [[:Trigonopterus squalidulus]]. As all of the articles had the same number of characters when created, it seems likely that they have the same problems.

You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Begonia articles
All the Begonia stubs have the text "is a species of is a species of". Could you please fix that? I'd really ask you to pay a little more attention to the quality if these stubs. There isn't that much text to check for obvious errors, after all :/ --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:55, 3 August 2020 (UTC) I"l gonna go fix them right now. Starzoner (talk) 16:00, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
ok what sources should I use? what are the best ones to add? Starzoner (talk) 22:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Also, two of them (Begonia thyrsoidea, Begonia thomsonii) have no refs at all, and incomplete cats. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:10, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
A bit more care
Please try to remove stray text, such as Schefflera Starzoner/ from articles as you move them into mainspace. Abductive (reasoning) 01:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Abductive, got it thanks. Starzoner (talk) 19:59, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- More seriously, don't create articles like Schefflera yunnanensis sourced only to IPNI, which is a database of taxon names not taxa. Plants of the World Online, linked from the taxonbar, says Schefflera yunnanensis is a synonym of Schefflera leucantha.
- Also, plant stubs should have a stub template and a talk page with a WP:PLANTS assessment. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:03, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Euphorbia yinshanica has no references. GBIF gives it as a synonym for Euphorbia kansuensis. Oronsay (talk) 00:22, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- As does Plants of the World Online, used as a reference in other Euphorbia species articles moved from User:Starzoner to mainspace. Peter coxhead (talk) 05:59, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- Euphorbia yinshanica has no references. GBIF gives it as a synonym for Euphorbia kansuensis. Oronsay (talk) 00:22, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Peter coxhead, what is a good source you recommend? Starzoner (talk) 12:38, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- For plants other than ferns, Plants of the World Online is usually one of the best to establish whether the species is accepted rather than a synonym, and as you are using IPNI, it has the advantage of sharing the ID. If it's in one of the families it covers, the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (WCSP) uses the same underlying database as POWO, so is equally good. They are normally updated regularly, although not at present because of Covid-19.
- You might be interested in looking at the wikitext of a stub I created recently, to see the normal layout, in terms of blank lines, etc: Arenaria balearica. Peter coxhead (talk) 14:40, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Also, we don't generally have articles on taxa below species level unless they are highly notable, so such items as User:Starzoner/Euphorbia_wellbyi_var._glabra are not worth moving to mainspace. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:37, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Calliopejen1 (talk) 04:12, 7 August 2020 (UTC)Nomination of Allegra Edwards for deletion
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Allegra Edwards is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegra Edwards until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. scope_creepTalk 22:46, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
Error messages in new articles
In the reference sections of Begonia affinis and Begonia torricellensis, there are bright red notes that say Check |doi= value. Those are error messages letting you know that there's something wrong with the DOIs in those references.
Please fix errors like these before moving articles from userspace to mainspace. They show up in tracking categories for maintenance (see Category:CS1 errors: DOI), and it looks as if you've left a mess and expect someone else to clean it up for you. I'm sure you didn't mean to do that. Thank you. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 23:43, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Endemic
Please note that "endemic" means that an organism is native to a SINGLE place. Often that place is a political unit; such as a country or subnational division. But it could be a geographical place such as a mountain range or an island (which in turn may be divided among different political; e.g. Borneo, which is split between three countries), or an ecologically defined place (e.g. the Kalahari Desert). A species that occurs in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa can not be said to be endemic to all three of those countries (this was the distribution given in one of your articles I just edited); a species that occurs in those countries might be endemic to the Kalahari Desert, but I wouldn't assume that to be true without a source stating that.
Endemism also usually is mentioned with regards to relatively small places. A species which occurs from Iran eastward to Japan wouldn't usually be described as endemic to Asia. While Botswana+Namibia+South Africa could be described as "southern Africa", if you said it was endemic to southern Africa, it wouldn't be clear whether or not it occurs in Lesotho or Mozambique. It would be better just to say that it is "native to Botswana, Namibia and South Africa".
Finally, POWO distributions may be incomplete; species may be known to occur in countries that aren't shown on the POWO map. All around it is usually better to say "native" than "endemic".Plantdrew (talk) 23:47, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Missing ref tags & taxoboxes/italic titles
Please review the Trigonopterus articles you created in mid-February of this year. Several I looked at are missing <ref> and </ref> tags for one of the references, and because they've no taxoboxes, the titles aren't italicised, e.g. Trigonopterus toraja, Trigonopterus tomohonensis, and Trigonopterus squalidulus. As all of the articles had the same number of characters when created, it seems likely that they have the same problems. Thanks, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 03:57, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
