| :I'm certainly not ''senior'' to anybody, but that never stopped me from chiming in with my opinion on something... If I'm understanding your question right, you're asking whether or not it would be appropriate to include, say, a subphyllum field on an article about a goldfish, then no, I think that general consensus is that such information would add unneeded clutter to a taxobox that already contains a lot of information. Since each of the ranks are wikilinked, a user can (and does, if I'm any gauge) click on the higher taxa to learn about those and that would be the appropriate place to discuss minor ranks. ] (]) 16:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

| I'm trying to cleanup the ] article and the next chore is tweaking the three huge tables that consume massive amounts of space in the article. I originally put those in there when I first started using wikipedia by using the excel to wikimarkup converter I found on some page somewhere and those monstrosities are what resulted. Now I'd like to format them to make them more aesthetically pleasing. My thoughts are to make them use much less white space and smaller font, which are things I can definitely manage. However, I've been beating my head against the wall for far too long trying to get the three tables to align vertically along the right edge of the article with the text of the article on the left side. I've played with align=right and float=right but I either get three tables all jumbled on top of each other, or the text of the paragraph appearing after a huge whitespace at the end of the tables. Note that the three tables will probably be longer than the section in which they first appear, which is "Comparison between white and black waters". Any table gurus feel like easing my burden and letting me get back to writing instead of programming? Thanks. ] (]) 05:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

The first table is fine, with the text flowing to the left of the table. But I want tables 2 and 3 to be aligned below Table 1 along the right edge of the article as well, instead of mashing over the text. See what I mean? ] (]) 06:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ::::if it's whitespace you're worried about, why not mke them collapsible and collapsed by adding class="collapsible collapsed" at the start? Also, you might find it beneficial to strip out the formatting and start from an unformatted table containing your data. Other than that, the full instruction sheet on tables is located ].

Gaur
Hello Neil,
The Gaur or the Indian Wild Ox is neither a Bison nor is it known as the Indian Bison. However, because of incorrect information found online such as this very wikipedia page, people have started to use incorrect nomenclature. My correction of the same would thereby amount to constructive change from the view point of many wilderness experts.
- @Dhirkid: Incorrect information exists here, no doubt. However, the Gaur is listed as the Indian Bison in the attached sources. If you have more reliable sources that say that is is more accurately called the Indian Wild Ox, include them with your revisions. The burden of evidence will fall on you if you want to revise cited facts. Neil916 (Talk) 16:29, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

your photograph of the AC-12 Cab Forward
Hi Neil,
I uploaded your photograph of the AC-12 Cab Forward at the California State Railroad Museum to www.commons.wikimedia and I hope that I can use it for an article I am about to write for a German Garden Railroad Journal (i.e. Gartenbahn Profi) - is that OK with you ?
