Talk:Tapejara wellnhoferi

Untitled

I believe the meaning of the work "Tapejara" to be rather something like "Lord of the roads", instead of the published "The Old Being". --Bilthon (talk) 05:10, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Dab

This page should be dab page, as translate from Portuguese Wikipedia. Matthew_hk tc 13:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Restoration

This image[1] was clearly labelled Tapejara wellnhoferi, until someone replaced the name[2] with Tupandactylus navigans. Is there any clear reason why t5his would not be Tapejara wellnhoferi? FunkMonk (talk) 11:17, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

the holotype was destroyed in the Brazilian Natural Museum fire this month

I could add it, but will let the more involved pterophiles do the deed. Very sad, irreplaceable loss.50.111.25.206 (talk) 16:22, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

We don't know for certain yet, they are still searching the rubble. Many of the fossils were stored in metal cabinets, and may be intact. FunkMonk (talk) 17:38, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Tapejara (pterosaur) → Tapejara wellnhoferi – Tapejara is a monotypic genus (i.e. it only has one species), per WP:MONOTYPICTAXA. JurassicClassic767 (talk | contribs) 21:40, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

• Support Monotypic genera are usually at the genus title, except when the genus title is ambiguous with another topic. Move to Tapejara wellnhoferi as a form of natural disambiguation. Plantdrew (talk) 21:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Pronunciation

It's not at all clear that the <j> in <Tapejara> should be /dʒ/. The Wikipedia page on Tupí doesn't list anything I could envision a <j> writing; the closest would be /j/ (explicitly not the English <j> sound!) or /ʃ/ (which would probably be written <x>, and I imagine is in <Tupuxuara>). It certainly doesn't have /dʒ/! 130.164.62.76 (talk) 13:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I've removed it. Scientific names don't necessarily have a single correct pronunciation, especially in cases where an element of the name is derived from a language other than Greek or Latin (in that case, it can be debated whether pronunciation should follow the original language, or should be Latinesque).
