Please provide your sources.

Hello,
Just a small remark about your revert.
It is quite sad that you provide a source only in the revert.
On wikicommons, sourcing is more important than the accuracy of the classification.

• science works like this: proving is more important than holding the truth.
• Wikicommons is collaboration based. If I come after you, I need to know which sources your are following. That way I will be able to follow the same source.
• there is no universal truth: some biologist are in conflict and do not agree on the classification. In this case we need to choose one and explain the 2 possibilities
• A few times a biologist came here trying to enforce his new classification. I had to fight 3 cases already.

Please, don't change anything without telling which source you follow.
Best regards Liné1 (talk) 15:51, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

I did modify Planaterga to explain the 2 possible classifications. I did not use english phrases (which would be scientifically better) but {{Conflict}} (which allows automatic translation)

Regards Liné1 (talk) 16:13, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes, it's indeed sad. I'm going to ignore the last two points you've named because they're not the case. Prosomapoda is a little used but phylogenetically important clade. As I said in the editing summary and as the source says there, Prosomapoda is the sister taxon of Xiphosura (not even Xiphosurida), but it is NOT within it. That does not make sense, I do not understand what happened on that website. There is nothing more to say because it is a very obscure clade. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 22:27, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Please respect the sources

Hello,
about your revert:
When wikicommons sites an external source, it must be done with the respect of what the source says (this is pure science!).
Here Arthropoda Species File says †Chasmataspida and †Eurypteridea, NOT †Chasmataspidida and †Eurypterida.
Perhaps you think that ArthropodaSF is incorrect, but in no case can you change what they say.
PS: wikipedia is very criticized for its lake of sourcing. We have to source and respect what the source say.
Regards Liné1 (talk) 16:00, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

That type of web pages that try to collect MILLIONS of taxons and keep them updated always end up doing the opposite. Let's see both names:

• Chasmataspida is very commonly used, but the most recent document uses "Chasmataspidida". 2018 documents use both, but there are more using "Chasmataspidida" than "Chasmataspida" (3 [the only mention in the third is in a citation] vs 5). The truth is that I'm not sure which is correct but judging from the Wikipedia page, the paper cited above and that Chasmataspidida has more results than Chasmataspida in Google Scholar, I would say that Chasmataspidida is the correct one.
• About Eurypterida, this is clearer. "Eurypteridea" only has 4 mentions throughout history, while Eurypterida has 1,360.

I do not even know how to cite references without those templates that only correspond to outdated websites, so teach me how to do it and this disagreement will end.

And to finish, I do not understand your need to edit 5 times my discussion page or leave two messages. This topic could be discussed in a single message. Greetings. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 22:27, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi! It has come to my attention that you have removed a warning which says that a file doesn't have enough information about the source or license conditions. Nevertheless, it seems to me that this information is still missing and I have restored the tag. You may either add the required information or, if you think that required information is already given, put the image up for a deletion request so that it won't automatically be deleted. Thank you.

About LipovanFlag.jpg and some other images from the same user or from me.

Hello Superdromaeosaurus ! About [1] and the whole series, I can assure you that around 90% will be erased without sorting you suggested (Don't feel responsible for this: it would inevitably have happened sooner or later). It's not just about negligences on our part (you will find us here [2] but we are real scientists, archaeologists, biologists, geographers, historians, paleontologists). Unfortunately there is more:

• Cepleanu was brought up in communist times when there was no private domain or copyright, and when an artist paid by the state provided his photo, drawing, map or scheme, it automatically went into the public domain;
• He is delighted to live in a freer society than before, but does not admit that the current rules are applied retroactively to the works produced at that time (especially when it is by him);
• He claimed this openly in front of the administrators, and therefore became disagreeable to them;
• Him and us, we added missing details and modified a lot of Commons documents, but many administrators and some authors consider these documents as works of art, therefore not editable;
• Some authors refuse to have their work modified and ask us to create another variation of their work, but if we do, the Commons administrators may think we are plagiarizing these authors.

Now, today, we have just met between us by visioconference. The common of our team decision is made. We take note of the fact that we are no longer suitable for the collaborative work of Commons and Wikipedia. We mourn the documents by which we thought to enrich this encyclopedia, since they are not in legal order. We all wish to withdraw from it, and therefore ask the administrators to close our accounts [3], noi, [4], end the first one of us Ion Cepleanu (We were taken for each other's sockpuppets anyway). We wish you good continuation without us, in this cause generally useful, even if it is difficult to grant the contributors. Bye ! --Julieta39 (talk) 13:38, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

That's quite sad. After having seen your contributions, I see that you have helped Commons a lot. I really appreciate the effort you have put into illustrating many Romania-related stuff. I wonder if it would be possible for you (in plural) to make one last effort to save many of the images of Spiridon Ion Cepleanu. I have been removing the no source tag in many images where I have found the original one and I know that there are many others that can be saved as well. For example, I remember having seen the original map of File:MittelEuropa1919.JPG before, but I haven't been able of finding it, but the original author might know how to find it. Is there any chance of this happening? It would be a shame that around 100 files simply got deleted. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 14:29, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Super Dromeosaurus ! It's my turn to be indicted for "wrong licensing" by our colleague Sealle and it's not about a hundred images but over 250 in all, he really made a big effort especially on us. Ideally we should send 250 OTRS but Cepleanu is old and sick, and I'm working. I did what I could to explain. In a hand, the basic problem is that Sealle, and not only him, considers ANY image to be an unmodifiable work of art: so any image derived, corrected, enriched or modified is, for himand some others, a violation of copyright.
In the other hand, having noted many omissions concerning the history of the Balkans, Romania and Moldova, we filled this void, but we thus went against the dominant historiographical tradition, notably Soviet and Russian, and it would therefore be logical for an administrator, familiar with this tradition, to consider these additions or modifications as inappropriate. If so, this is an "edit warring" among many others.
It is very probably that the whole series of 250 images to be simply deleted by another administrator "per nomination". Our small group of scientists and historians have done what they can, our best for Wikipedia, and now we wish our accounts closed. As said a few centuries ago: "do what must and come what may".
Thank you very much for your encouragement, we appreciate your attitude. --Julieta39 (talk) 11:07, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Well, okay then... I understand that you can't do much. Thanks again for the pictures and may Cepleanu get healthy! Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 01:53, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Morocco Spain Locator.png

Hi, I just wanted to let you know with regards to the new version you uploaded for this file, Western Sahara is not visible, if not barely visible despite being described as "disputed", I suggest reverting to this version which is essentially the same map but the striping for WS is slightly more visible. If someone came and added WS as solid colour, undisputed part of Morocco, it would be reverted almost immediately (which actually happened for this file). For the same reason, this controversial and totally un-neutral map should be reverted to the previous version showing WS as striped. Thanks. -- 100.14.89.197 21:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I think you exaggerate a bit, the current version still shows Western Sahara as disputed, but you can upload it if you want, I don't have problem with it. I honestly don't remember if IP accounts can upload files or not so you can leave me another message if you want me to do it. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 14:31, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

IP's can't upload/revert files, that's why I left you a message asking you to do so. I also addressed a similar issue for this file which also should be reverted except Western Sahara was completely removed this time except being barely visible (as well as switch the colours for some reason). Either way, its a violation of OVERWRITE and NPOV so it should be reverted. Thanks. --100.14.89.197 16:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Done. It will take a while for the new version to show up. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 17:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

The version one you have reverted to is not the long standing one and the "new" IP knows this all too well (check the file's history and the numerous sockpuppets that have been desperate to change until an admin intervened). I therefore reverted to the admin's version. M.Bitton (talk) 17:32, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I don't agree with this. I've already stated on a summary that the green and orange version is the most used one by far on these bilateral maps. The yellow and green one also has a lower resolution and it's inaccurate (South Sudan). I've reverted it to the version before this discussion started. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 17:36, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure what it is that you don't agree with, but like I said, this particular file has been the subject of POV pushing for a while, so either we keep your version, revert to the original one or alternatively, we could also choose the second oldest one (which I doubt the new "IP" will be happy with). M.Bitton (talk) 17:40, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Looks like M.Bitton reverted it again violating the very thing he cited (COM:OVERWRITE), I'm not quite sure what his personal quarrel is with me and now followed me here and involved himself in the matter. Super Dromaeosaurus, I suggest reverting it back again because this seems to be disruptive and he wants nothing to do with COM:OVERWRITE, only to isolate Morocco from the disputed W. Sahara (see his comment here). This long standing version seems most approriate -- 100.14.89.197 17:44, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I meant that I don't agree with using the yellow and green one. I guess that we could use that second oldest one although I still see the version I reverted it to better but I am not going to fight over choosing between these two. The second oldest one is probably the one that will please this IP the most as they seem to be trying not to show Morocco controlling any part of Western Sahara. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 17:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

100.14.89.197, I don't wish to be part of this fight that has been happening over the file. I don't see why would that version be better than the current one. Just keep it as how it is. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 17:48, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Quite the opposite in fact, It would not please the IP as initially I started this discussion because W. Sahara wasn't visible enough/barely visible, not because I think Western Sahara should be completely isolated from Morocco. And I never intended in this being some sort of "fight" or conflict (until M.Bitton came along and involved himself). -- 100.14.89.197 17:49, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I really don't know what M.Bitton's problem is with this file, it is very similar to the original he insists on (both showing W.S. clearly visibly striped) but using better colour scheme (that you mentioned), zoomed in and cropped Sudan/South Sudan, all while keeping the striped. As the version he wants shows the wrong borders with regards to the Sudans. I really think it should be reverted again and ignore the POV pusher who got involved and claimed COM:OVERWRITE (contradiction). --100.14.89.197 17:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I have a new solution that would make all parties happy, to upload this long standing file as a PNG (and make it larger), as this one is cropped, uses the correct colours, and clearly shows W.S. as disputed striped. That SVG version seems appropriate. --100.14.89.197 18:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Sure, I agree with it. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 18:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Great, if you could get that converted as a PNG then upload it here, then I think this matter will be put to rest. Have a good evening. --100.14.89.197 18:34, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

If the issue if truly about colours, then that could easily be sorted by editing the stable version. M.Bitton (talk) 18:40, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 Done I have changed the colours of the stable version to green and orange. M.Bitton (talk) 18:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

M.Bitton, I mostly agree with your version but I also suggest adding the border for South Sudan to accurately reflect the UN map. --100.14.89.197 18:48, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Consider cropping it so the South Sudan issue and that huge space at the right part of the map dissappear. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 18:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I agree, just cropping it would be a good idea, to remove the issue regarding the Sudanese borders and also to show that there is a close proximity between the Morocco and Spain. Otherwise, it seems good. --100.14.89.197 18:53, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 Done M.Bitton (talk) 18:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

One last thing. Maybe we could also add some space at the left at the Atlantic Ocean so Morocco and Spain are more centered. I could do this now but the new version did not load to me yet so I can't download it. It would also be good to add the Canary and other Atlantic islands (and Ceuta and Melilla if they are not shown) but I don't want to be too fussy so it's up to you.

Error in the Ottoman Empire map of 1899

There is an error in the Ottoman map of 1899. The Sanjak of Novi Pazar remained under Ottoman rule between 1878 and 1912. The Austrians stationed a few garrisons (which were pulled after the Bosnian crisis in 1908), but the presence of the Ottoman Army in Novi Pazar continued between 1878 and 1912 and it remained both "de jure" and "de facto" an Ottoman sanjak. The situation was different in Bosnia, where there was a much larger Austrian military presence and occupation between 1878 and 1908. Hoeppala (talk) 14:42, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Re:Erettopterus

With regards to the misspelling, the Erettopterus diagram is one of my older ones which needs updating; I do not know when I'll have time to get around to it, but I should definitely be able to start work on it by mid-December, so I can use that update to fix the typo (alternatively, if you think it's important enough I can immediately upload a typo-corrected version and still create the new silhouettes in December anyways). Also, if you don't mind me asking, are limbs II to V known for Erettopterus or should they be filled in with something like Pterygotus? Thanks, --Slate Weasel (talk) 20:16, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I do not mind if you upload it later, do it whenever it is the easiest for you. Regarding the walking legs, I do not remember myself very well, Erettopterus was my second eurypterid article and I was still pretty unexperienced, some pterygotid articles (that I didn't write) say that a feature of Pterygotidae was that "Their walking legs were small and slender, without spines, and they were likely not capable of walking on land", so it should be fine to use the same as Pterygotus'. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 22:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

I see that you've updated recently some of your old eurypterid size charts, feel free to ask me anything anytime if you need it, though frankly, my eurypterid knowledge has gotten quite rusty. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 22:11, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
