Proposals to change the election rules may now be added throughout the year and discussed on the talk page; formal discussion remains in September.
- Following an RfC, first-time reviewers’ reviews require an experienced reviewer’s check, and GA requirements now include alt text and accessible tables.

Request for help fixing malformed table entries
[edit]Hi Wesoree,
Sorry to bother you again. I previously replied to your message on my talk page, but I thought it might be easier to reach you here.
I wanted to clarify that my earlier edits to List of organisms named after works of fiction were intended to add four species with names inspired by fictional characters. Unfortunately, the automated editing tool I used introduced errors into the article's table formatting.
The problematic additions originated in revision 1384558075, followed by Citation bot's revision 1384719874. The last correctly formatted version before these changes was 1384514082.
Would you be willing to help restore the affected table formatting and review the four proposed additions? I have already provided the full explanations, original scientific references, and suggested Wikitext on my talk page.
Thank you for your time, and I apologize again for the inconvenience. ~2026-59554-89 (talk) 20:48, 10 November 2026 (UTC)
- @~2026-59554-89 I'll fix formatting and run Citation bot afterwards, Thanks! -- Wesoree (talk·contribs) 22:35, 10 November 2026 (UTC)
