@rdmpage @Endless_forms I agree I am against books naming species but its still legitimate so has to be dealt with.

[Scott Thomson @Faendalimas]

@rdmpage @Endless_forms @rdmpage I imagine by mashing together the feeds of major publishers will get most but not all. I have no idea of how you get books unless you scan for citations. Even then ouch.

@yatachelys I remember examining this species when in Lightning Ridge examining Chelid fossils. Cool specimens. I have a cast of the skull someehere. I agree on basal Meiolaniform

[Scott Thomson @Faendalimas]

@wolfgangwuster @JNCC_UK They should do the opposite, its the vulnerable and endangered species where you have time to achieve something that should be the priority for protection and the conservation dollar.

@ardynasios @wolfgangwuster @phylophile @handsonwildlife @DaniRabaiotti @Micropechis @Venom_doc Wells and Wellington was on hold until the decision came through. There was no viewpoint of what would happen once the ICZN decided. As soon as W&W was deemed published the names were used starting in 1993. Hoser situation is very different with multiple papers and discussion.

[Scott Thomson @Faendalimas]

@raymondhoser Ray, you are inapable of reasoned thought. Wiki says nothing of what you claim. The ICZN has effectively taken themselves out of the issue. We cannot ask for their help, neither can you. The decision on what to do is up to the Herpetological Community. Your not part of that.

[Scott Thomson @Faendalimas]

@travesty328 @CanaItch Every chapter, data ones, of my thesis was published before the dissertation was handed in. No issue. I had a statement at the start of each chapter that included its citation.

[Scott Thomson @Faendalimas]

@phylophile @handsonwildlife @wolfgangwuster @DaniRabaiotti @Micropechis @Venom_doc He can shout all he wants decisions have been made. ICZN has no mandate in this. Community Decision prevails and no one reads his rubbish.

[Scott Thomson @Faendalimas]

@yatachelys This wont change anything. Its a good opinion. ICZN is not the deciding body on this issue. Krell 2021 at same time issued a paper stating these issues are up to the community.

[Scott Thomson @Faendalimas]

@raymondhoser Ray they totally ignored your request. Have effectively said your issue is not an ICZN issue. As Krell 2021 put it its for the scientic community to decide on this. They have.

[Zootaxa updates @Zootaxa]
