PRODded Analog-to-digital timeline
Hi Bob, I just PRODded Analog-to-digital timeline. My reason is that everything is getting digitized and the list would be incredibly unwieldy. I hope you agree. — Sean Brunnock (talk) 12:05, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Emerald-striped slim]]
The article :Emerald-striped slim has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
A. pinheyi is now considered a synonym of A. gracile by the World Odonata List and this taxonomy is followed by the IUCN. I've already retargeted Aciagrion pinheyi, but this common name appears to no longer be in use
