Current sources and sinks

In Talk:Current sources and sinks we are discussing to move the article to a better name. As it seems like a neurobiology topic I cannot tell what would be the best name. Any help is appreciated. --ReyHahn (talk) 14:28, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Now at Talk:Current source density analysis.--ReyHahn (talk) 17:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

List of your articles that are in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors, 2025

Currently, this project has about ~7 articles in need of some reference cleanup. Basically, some short references created via {{sfn}} and {{harvnb}} and similar templates have missing full citations or have some other problems. This is usually caused by templates misuse or by copy-pasting a short reference from another article without adding the full reference, or because a full reference is not making use of citation templates like {{cite book}} (see Help:CS1) or {{citation}} (see Help:CS2). To easily see which citation is in need of cleanup, you can check these instructions to enable error messages (Svick's script is the simplest to use, but Trappist the monk's script is a bit more refined if you're interested in doing deeper cleanup). See also how to resolve issues.

These could use some of your attention

To do

1. Mitochondrial Eve
2. Phagosome
3. Phylogenesis
4. Prince Arran
5. Symbiosis
6. Traditional ecological knowledge
7. White blood cell differential

If you could add the full references to those article/fix the problem references, that would be great. Again, the easiest way to deal with those is to install Svick's script per these instructions. If after installing the script, you do not see an error, that means it was either taken care of, or was a false positive, and you don't need to do anything else.

Areanophagy

I've added the name "areanophagy" to the arachnophagy article, and created a matching redirect. I'm pretty sure the terms are cognate - but I'm posting this here just in case "areanophagy" refers solely to spiders, rather than to arachnids in general. Can anyone knowledgeable check this? — The Anome (talk) 14:01, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Except that you've misspelled it. It's "araneophagy". Dyanega (talk) 17:51, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

You're right! Let's hope I've got it right elsewhere; I'll just check... — The Anome (talk) 21:21, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Fortunately that seems to have been a one-off typo; I seem to have spelled it correectly everywhere else. — The Anome (talk) 21:27, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
