Hi Ackatsis, I saw you hadn't been properly welcomed yet. Welcome! I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian and all that. There's a

The Loaded Dog
Your article The Loaded Dog has been speedy deleted, because Wikipedia is not the place to copy entire sections from story books. Please see What Wikipedia is not for more information. If you wish to make the text available online, consider contributing it to Wikisource instead. Thanks! Kimchi.sg 13:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We can write articles about literary works, but the contents of the works themselves should not be inside the articles, except for quotation purposes. For example, we have an article about
primary sources. Kimchi.sg 13:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply
]
If the book was published in 1901, it should be public domain worldwide (the 1911 Encyclopaedia Brittanica, which was published even later, is already public domain). Hence you should seriously consider submitting the text of it to Wikisource. It will be made always available and freely sharable, and easier to link to from Wikipedia.

Internet Movie Database
I have no issue with depending on IMDb for films that have been released. However, IMDb, in my experience, does not qualify as accurate when it comes to upcoming films. IMDb is similar to Wikipedia in how users contribute information, though there are "qualified" individuals that permit information. Two notorious examples I can recall are Ed Norton listed to be John Bauer for a later episode of 24 Season 5, and another one is Aunt May listed as Carnage for Spider-Man 3. Also, IMDb has posted release years for films that are still in development — have you ever seen a TBA? No, the site, for some reason, picks and chooses release years. In addition, there has been no actual news headline that announced that Ron Howard will be the director (I just re-checked Google News to see if there have been any). IMDb is a follow-up source like Wikipedia; it does not "break" the news. Hope you understand. IMDb's great for cast & crew info post-release since that information is verifiable by all, but before then... it's not guaranteed. —

Howdy, I noticed you changed Bob Paine's birthdate from 1933 to 1942. I was curious if you had a source. The cited source references him having an 80th birthday, but if 1942 is correct, he would only be 74. I don't have any info one way or the other, but thought you might.

Apologies, TeaDrinker. That was a complete brainfade on my part -- for some reason, I thought the lede already said 1942, and then I failed to do the maths (it's morning here in Australia, so that's my best excuse).

List of mammals of Christmas Island
Hi Ackatsis. Regarding the category changes in this edit,[1] Can you please explain your rationale for removing the dependent territory category. I've been on the fence as to whether or not Australia's external territories should be categorized as dependent territories. This is mostly because of its entry at Dependent territory#Australia. Is it correct that Christmas Island is an integral part of Australia? If so, there are several corrections I need to make. If I can be convinced either way, it would help out a lot.
Also, why the
sortkey changes? After your edit, List of mammals of Christmas Island is currently being sorted at Category:Lists of mammals of Australia under L for "Lists", instead of C for "Christmas", as it was before. I assume this was unintentional, which makes wonder the possibility that perhaps all your category changes were unintentional, as your edit summary does not mention categorization. Can you please confirm or otherwise explain. --DB1729talk 19:09, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

Mountain Galaxias move
I note that you moved the Mountain Galaxias page to Mountain galaxias. The word Galaxias is the genus name and is therefore capitalised. It is not a vernacular name, which would then be all lower case. - Nick Thornetalk 00:55, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Nick, I changed the capitalisation to match the main text of the article. If "Galaxias" is used here as the genus name, then wouldn't it need to be italicised as "Mountain Galaxias (species complex)"? I'm not sure I have seen that. Alas, it's a bit tricky to find examples because most scientific sources capitalise common names by default. Ackatsis (talk) 05:24, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
