False accusations and censorship committed by Chiswick Chap

I see you've gone ahead and had me barred from editing articles, claiming falsely that I have conflict of interest. In fact I am qualified in the biological sciences, and the edits I have attempted involved the deletion of demonstrably false, unscientific claims, made by yourself. Clearly you have conflict of interest in controlling edits to your own material. You need to contact an independent editor to assess and resolve this issue. I doubt you are remotely qualified to be editing biology articles. The arrogance and disregard for scientific integrity displayed by this editor is disgraceful. You are killing Misplaced Pages.

PLEASE ADD ANY COMMENTS AT THE END OF THIS PAGE.

Cestoda

I don't know if you would like to join me in working on Cestoda?

I would also like to ask you about the circular redirects in the taxonomy section of the article leading back to Cestoda. I blanked two of the redirects creating redlinks (Spathebothriidea and Diphyllidea), but these changes were officiously reversed by another editor. I could create stubs instead, but have nothing meaningful to say about the taxa. What do you think? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:09, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth: OK, let's have a go. I've chopped the redirects with a detailed edit comment. By the way, I can't see why we have a separate article on tapeworm infection as it's quite short and overlaps with what's in the main article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:18, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Actually, just blanking the circular redirect pages (there are about ten) is not very satisfactory as it leaves a bluelinked empty page. So instead, I am replacing the redirect pages with starter stubs for each tapeworm order. I can easily replicate these, and the stubs can be added to when someone feels enthusiastic. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:51, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

OK, that'll work. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:47, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth: gosh this is a complicated group! I think we should have a table of life-cycles as they vary widely by Order with one or two intermediate hosts (for different larval stages) and a definitive host for the adult: though the adults are sometimes in exactly one vertebrate species, sometimes in a wide range of possible definitive hosts. I've added host sequences to the phylogeny for now, which makes some sense as (by Fahrenholz's rule and Eichler's rule) parasite phylogeny often mirrors host phylogeny. We should mention and link that fact, too. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:30, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Your internal phylogeny is a great improvement on what was there before. My Ruppert has a section on "life cycle examples" which we might model a section on. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:52, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth: I've found sources for the different taxa so we now have their hosts pretty well listed. What else do you think needs to be done? Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:45, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

That's good, the article has changed considerably since we started work on it. I will do a bit of reference tidying tomorrow, and the lead could be expanded/improved, after which we are about finished. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:56, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Super. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Bat

Firstly, thank you for making me aware of the mistakes I have made. You make some valid points about my intended additions. I had no intentions of forcing anything upon the bat page, and I will take more caution when edited another "featured article". Secondly, thank you for making edits to the edits that have been kept. I will be adding the citations to where I received my information regarding the beginning additions as I find them important. Best MountainFoot (talk) 18:14, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:00, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Awarde for bringing Aristotle to good article status. You did some incredible work on a vital article, and I wanted to thank you on behalf of the millions of college students taking philosophy prerequisites who rely on the article. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:04, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks, that's very kind of you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:25, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Monarch butterfly migration

Thank you for your offer to review this article for GA. It is large and I am in the middle of a major across-the-country move. My responses to your review questions may take up to one to two days. Is this acceptable? I didn't expect anyone to take on this review so quickly. Thanks again. Best Regards, Barbara ✐  ✉ 10:06, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Barbara, there's no hurry at all. The article is quite well-cited but is in need of reorganisation and pruning. Hope your move goes well. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:11, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Evidence of common descent

Any idea what the Arnold G. Kluge book is? I looked around, but didn't see any 2000 publication. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:55, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

No, I tried quite hard to find it without success. We'll have to find other sources. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:23, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
