Cenozoic Washington image captions

Hey, Kevmin. Belated thanks for correcting my error regarding the Republic fossils in the image captions at Draft:List of the Cenozoic life of Washington (state) and for catching a few other things I overlooked, like Myrmeciites being a form taxon. I'm kind of hesitant about some of the word order changes, though. The new version that lists the common name ahead of the binomials reads nicely, but I kind of still think that the captions should put the binomial name ahead of the common name since the list itself is organized around them. Would you be open to me switching the word order back in those cases? Abyssal (talk) 00:13, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

I was going for more readable prose in the caption. and I think that the order works fine and reduces the broken feeling of the word structuring that was there originally.--Kevmin § 00:16, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Alright. I'll start writing captions more long the lines of your recommendations. Please keep an eye on the page to see if you dislike any of the new captions or if there are any old ones that still have problems. Abyssal (talk) 01:32, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Do you think some of the shorter ones should be rewritten for consistency with the longer ones? Eg, should

Fossilized skeleton of Amyzon aggregatum, an Eocene-Oligocene sucker fish

be

Fossilized skeleton of the Eocene-Oligocene sucker fish Amyzon aggregatum

? Abyssal (talk) 13:16, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

We should get to those yes, for example I would go with "Fossilized skeleton found in Republic, of the Eocene sucker fish Amyzon aggregatum", since A. aggregatum is Eocene, with mention of being found in Republic being optional given that the majority of the images are not of actual Washington state fossils, but living specimens or from elsewhere.--Kevmin § 13:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

OK. Abyssal (talk) 13:29, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate your opinion on this matter, but would you care to link the relevant plant guidelines at the discussion? I've not seen them myself, so I'm curious. RGloucester — ☎ 02:06, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
