Hey. I hope you are not mad at me for reverting additions by the anonymous user for the 2nd time. I did so, because the text at ADW is rather outdated with references to Beacham and Beltz, 1998; "Clouded Leopard, Neofelis nebulosa", 1996; Sunquist and Sunquist, 2002; "About the Clouded Leopard", 2008, i.e. to years, when Sunda and Mainland clouded leopards were still considered as a single species.

@BhagyaMani: No worries, my friend. Want me to use some admin powers on this? Protect the article? - UtherSRG (talk) 13:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if this anonymous user tries again to add this rubbish, then I think a page protection would be nice. Cheers, BhagyaMani (talk) 13:13, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would really appreciate it if you did not delete describers from the pages that I am creating.

Do you mean the red categories you had on Cnesterodon pirai? Red categories are strictly disallowed. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:08, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But the fully scientific illustration is impossible by definition, while this example is based on a work by a professional bio-illustrator? Strecosaurus (talk) 19:04, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of images of life recreations (a technical term for art of non-living species) that don't place them unduly into a human setting. The art is fantastic, but I mean that in both in assessing the technical merits of the work and in the unrealism of the human setting. - UtherSRG (talk) 23:04, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What difference does the background make, as long as it's neutral? (And even regular chimps are sometimes dressed like that for ads and stock images - I've even seen dogs "doing science" - what do you mean by unrealistic background?) Strecosaurus (talk) 00:48, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So frankly I'm very confused as to why this image should be deleted (plus again it's as scientific as there ever will be short of an actual photo of a humanzee). Strecosaurus (talk) 00:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I saw that you reverted my edits on African Wild Dog Conservancy, which now again redirects to African wild dog. I understand the reasoning and apologise for not pronouncing my reasonign behind my edit. Background: "African Wild Dog Conservancy" is the registered name both of an NGO based in the United States, and of a gazetted conservation area in Namibia. While I can't say much on the US NGO (the available information on their current level of activity is a little sketchy), I do see relevance for a stand-alone article on the Namibian conservation area. In Namibia, African Wild Dog Conservancy is the legal name of a geographically demarcated conservation area of 3824 km2, inhabitated by approximately 5 000 people. Although it carries the name "African Wild Dog" the purpose of the conservation area is broader and not specifically targeted ad Wild Dogs. A simple redirect to African wild dog will not do it justice. I therefore do suggest that African Wild Dog Conservancy is turned into a page about the Namibian conservation area, while for the US NGO a referenced mention on African wild dog is sufficient.

You should take this to WP:DRV. Read the instructions there before making a request. I'm not the admin you need to ask, but the admin who deleted it via the AFD. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:54, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Calidumpluviam (talk) 09:05, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of African Wild Dog Conservancy. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
