Citations edit
The citations to websites should really be converted using the {{cite web}} tempate, so that there can be an accessdate in case the website gets taken down. As well, the last paragraph describing the species has some awkward sentences. Murderbike (talk) 07:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- i've fixed the citations, but i may noy get around to looking at the last paragraph until later today.Ryan shell (talk) 17:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Just came across this. Good, valid reference material should be independent of a particular website and found by direct query. Access date strikes me as no more relevant than the day a book is checked out of the local library. The date of the material of course is. Keep things simple.

- Im not sure what you men by "independent of a particular website". The need for access date is due to the propensity for websites to change and update information on pages, a problem that is not found in print resources as they will have a different ISBN for each printing. Thus it is very important to have the access date so the correct version of the page can be located if the site changes or goes down. --Kevmin § 18:27, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Automatic Taxoboxes edit
Do automatic taxoboxes add anything of substance, other than an extra, and superfluous layer of information that's an extra step to modify, should that be necessary. Simple and direct seem usually better. J.H.McDonnell (talk) 13:27, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes the automatic taxoboxes do add information. For a full discussion see the automatic taxobox talk page Template talk:Automatic taxobox. --Kevmin § 18:27, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
