Birthday with no source?

What a source for birthday "21 January"? --Kaganer (talk) 00:59, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Stephanides' studies

According to the text, it seems that Stephanides studied medicine in Paris only for one year, from 1929 to 1930. Is this possible? If someone knows more about Stephanides' studies on medecine in Paris, please enlighten us. Irigozin (talk) 20:02, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Arctodiaptomus stephanidesi

A fourth crustacean species was named after dr. Stephanides. It is Arctodiaptomus stephanidesi (Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae), described as Diaptomus stephanidesi by Otto Pesta in 1935.

• I see it obvious and it should not be any other Stephanides, especially in Pesta, O. (1935) Pseudodiaptomiden und Diaptomiden von der Insel Korfu (Griechenland). Zoologischer Anzeiger, 110 (11-12), 310–323., but there is still no secondary source for it, and primary source is not available for me. Taurus Littrow, FYI. --Brunei (talk) 16:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

• Brunei Thanks. I see that you created an Ukrainian page for Arctodiaptomus stephanidesi, with two sources in the references. Maybe you could use that info in the Stephanides article and update/replace the references. Or I could do that myself, but later. Taurus Littrow (talk) 17:17, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

  I'm looking for more sources. Still can't find them, maybe later.--Brunei (talk) 17:29, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Oops, I guess I shouldn't have started the reviewing process. Sorry, I never did this before. Taurus Littrow (talk) 19:09, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

This will not be a full review, but a few points that suggest some more work needed towards GA:

• There seems to be a high number of block quotations which can be distracting while reading; maybe embed/paraphrase some of these into prose and paragraphs - see WP:QUOTEFARM
• May want to get a few more good citations in there to help with the verifiability criterion; also should replace sources such as IMDB with ones deemed more reliable - see WP:RS

However, numerous images are in place, which seems to meet the illustration GA criterion.

Thanks much for taking your time! Other users and I got rid of most of the block quotations, replaced the IMDb sources, and added some other citations and sources. Taurus Littrow (talk) 08:51, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Re moon crater

Taurus Littrow, it's in a footnote (diacritics omitted): "Stephanides became a passionate astronomer until the end of his life... Researchers Ewen A. Whitaker and Danny Caes have confirmed (in email correspondence, Aug 2013), that Felix Chemla Lamech did propose the name 'Theodore Stephanides' for 'Romer A', a moon crater. (The I.A.U. did not accept the name.)". Ewen Whitaker lists "Stephanides" as being proposed by Lamech in Mapping and Naming the Moon (1999) p228 [1], but this does not indicate either when it was submitted. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 08:31, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! Doesn't matter much, I guess. Taurus Littrow (talk) 08:38, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Re review request

Taurus Littrow - major WP:COPYVIO problems, in particular with this, but also elsewhere. As mentioned at your talkpage, please also be careful of close paraphrasing when fixing any copyvios. I found these after starting reviewing the lead, and won't review further before things are fixed - existing notes:

• As the lead should contain no material that isn't part of the rest of the article, and the article is not controversial, citations can be moved to the body (MOS:LEADCITE)
• Cut "famous" (MOS:PUFF) - plus what percentage of people worldwide would readily recall Durrell (even with the recent TV series)? What about in ten years?
• Cut "which is still cited today" (MOS:DATED) - plus if it's the definitive work it can be assumed that it will be cited where relevant...
• Cut "noted" possibly rearranging that para a little.(MOS:OPED). Similarly, don't use "notably" (noting that this also has a WP specific meaning).
• I don't think that the generic "acclaimed" (MOS:PUFF) is supported by the evidence in the body.

(broadly, let the reader draw conclusions for themselves based on neutrally worded statements of fact, including statements of expert opinion given due weight). ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 03:07, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
