Rename request for File:Carcharhinus perezi.jpg
editWould you please be able to drop some notes onto the talk page of this file about the renaming and the pertinent information for the reidentification, so that others will be able to understand has occurred when we start to delink the photo from their pages. Once you have completed that, we can then rename the file. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:09, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated the file for speedy deletion. It was unfortunate (unlucky) you found the image uploaded by a "washer". Jappalang (talk) 03:28, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

editHi Yzx,
This File:Hal - Urobatis sp. - GMZ 1.jpg might could be Raja clavata? Regards. DenesFeri (talk) 07:46, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
- Maybe, though honestly without knowing what the back looks like it'd probably be impossible to identify to species. -- Yzx (talk) 07:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
And this File:Hal - Urobatis sp. - GMZ 2.jpg might be Scyliorhinus canicula? DenesFeri (talk) 07:51, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
- Again, not enough visible information to be sure, though I'd guess S. canicula just because it's the most common European catshark. -- Yzx (talk) 07:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
OK, thanks! DenesFeri (talk) 13:38, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
About [1]:
As you can see in Category:Dasyatis dipterura and Category:Dasyatis brevis, both species are recognized by FishBase & ITIS & WoRMS. Only IUCN says that further studies are needed (en has a redirect from both species to en:Diamond stingray but without explaination).
So I quite sure we should follow FishBase and avoid merging both categories.

- You should trust primary/secondary sources rather than online databases, which only aggregate data from elsewhere and are not any kind of taxonomic authority (so they can't 'recognize' something or not), not to mention that they are frequently out of date/contain remnant obsolete entries. Here are some better sources stating the synonymy of D. brevis with D. dipterura:
- Nelson (2004) Common and scientific names of fishes from the United States, Canada, and Mexico
- Smith, W. D., Cailliet, G. M., & Melendez, E. M. (2007). Maturity and growth characteristics of a commercially exploited stingray, Dasyatis dipterura. Marine and Freshwater Research, 58(1), 54-66.
- IUCN -- IUCN actually states unambiguously that D. brevis is synonymous with D. dipterura, and also gives an account of why D. brevis is often mistakenly used instead of/in addition to D. dipterura
- Ebert, D. Sharks, rays, and chimaeras of California -- also describes how D. brevis became inappropriately used instead of/in addition to D. dipterura.
- As you can see, D. brevis is clearly synonymous with D. dipterura, and the origin of the taxonomic confusion has been traced in some detail. -- Yzx (talk) 21:59, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Silky shark makunudhoo.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Silky shark makunudhoo.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
