Motivation

This is my first proposal on Wikidata, so sorry if (when) I mess up. Amphibiaweb seems like a good resource, comparable to other IDs that populate the taxonbar. I think it would be a nice resource. example: 8667 Nasikabatrachus bhupathi (Q37785702) NessieVL (talk) 23:57, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Looks useful to me. I will add the values with my bot. --Succu (talk) 20:18, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Seems good. I'm mostly into plants, so not fully able to judge the merit of the source. A few questions - and bear with me, this is my first time too:
    1. Will/could the property also list the home page or search page of the site? The "source" when taken without an identifier, gives an error.
    2. More nerdy: Would it be possible - and within the "normal ways of doing things here" - to formally restrict this to "taxa which are subclasses of Amphibia"? This would probably not be necessary in practice, but it makes explicit exactly which taxa we are intending this to be used for. In fact, since the database contains only species, we could limit to "taxon rank = species" as well. NisJørgensen (talk) 21:26, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. As to its taxonomy, this site has been around since 2000, or so, and is supported by the University at Berkeley, so this taxonomy seems notable enough to me. As to the deviant nomenclature, this site is not alone in this (birds, butterflies). A special separate property to deal with deviant nomenclature seems called for. The deviant nomenclature is out there, and will remain so, whether we have a property to link to this site, or not. The site has plenty of content so a link would add value. - Brya (talk) 06:08, 13 January 2018 (UTC) 05:55, 17 January 2018 (UTC) 06:05, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I said I can agree to this and I agree it does have considerable good information, just be wary of where it deviates and more thorough sites would be better to be followed in these cases. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 16:16, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose, due to issues shared within members in Wikispecies, I have to remove my support. Funny though, how the MOL map to the right show Africa, and the link ends up in Congo, while the BerkeleyMpper gives an accurate location map.

  •  Oppose This site has in the past been the subject of several issues on WP, it uses a taxonomy favored by a single person to the exclusion of all others. It often does not follow the currently accepted nomenclature because that disagrees with the views of the owner of the site and his circle of researchers. I could only agree to it if it is not used to change nomenclature where it disagrees with Amphibian Species of the World. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 15:26, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
