Turtles of Texas

I am thinking of doing a Featured List of the the turtles of Texas. Some significant content additions (a table with ratings, refs, in-state ranges, text, etc.) Sort of like U.S. state reptiles. I would basically leave this article alone, other than adding a hatnote to the more expansive article. Any interest in working together? Concerns or advice? I have several references already lined up in my sandbox that cover the state, but I am not a Texas native (although been through a lot of it).TCO (talk) 08:42, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In situ?

@Wilafa: Thanks for your work on this article. Why do you prefer the phrase in situ? Though I think it may be appropriate in scientific literature, it's likely to be confusing to a general reader here. Also I don't think the Latin phrase communicates anything in this context beyond in. Wikipedia's practice on such things is expressed at MOS:JARGON. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 04:03, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In situ is a Latin phrase, but it is a pretty common one that I think a lot of people are familiar with, and if not, this could be a good place to learn. There is a Wikipedia article for in situ with a "biology and biomedical engineering" heading that it could be linked to. It can mean a lot to some people, and for those not interested it is a small thing that can be glossed over and ignored. Note the prairie lizard and the greater short-horned lizard were photographed in situ, and they exhibit entirely natural poses and show a relationship with their surroundings (e. g. camouflage). It is subtle and not of interest to everyone, but I think it can meaningful information for many people.

When the issue is a six letter phrase, or an eight digit date, why convey less information for the reader rather than more? WiLaFa (talk) 06:19, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
