# vs. *[edit]
Hello Kevmin. You correctly point out that "The majority practice on taxonomic lists. bullet pointed lists dominate over numbered", but I respectfully suggest that the majority practice is not always appropriate and there better uses of your time than converting to bullet points. Unfortunately, WP is littered with pages stating "there are X genera in family Y" or "Z species in genus X": with numbers that are (sometimes badly) wrong. There are various reasons for this, but often changes are due to taxonomic revisions: especially for insects and fungi. Keeping track of changes is difficult and the WP count (# facility) is very useful for checking numbers against the international databases. I therefore ask that you don't make these edits and suggest that you might find '#' useful fossil taxa (as new ones turn up): as I understand one of your own interests. Brgds.

DYK for Allenbya holmesae[edit]
On 8 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Allenbya holmesae, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the fossil insect Allenbya holmesae was named after its finder's mother's maiden name? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Allenbya holmesae. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Allenbya holmesae), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
