Re: "Dasyurus geoffroii (Gould anno 1840) (ex: Dasyurinus geoffroii) (Anglice: western quoll) est animal marsupiale carnivorum Australianum (West)." Hendrice:
- 1. I've removed your pointless commas. As I've said before, the parentheses don't need them.
- 2. I've changed your nonsense-word animalum to animal.
- 3. The phrase now means it's "an Australian carnivorous marsupial animal." Is that what you were trying to say?
- 4. What do you mean by "ex"? If 'formerly', that's often olim.
- 5. It's bad typography to put a blankspace to the left of ")" (a closing parenthesis). IacobusAmor 14:10, 31 Decembris 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry i haven't been responding by correcting your points, i have three more species i like to make an stipula for, after that i'll make a correction tour trough all marsupial and monotremes articles, - i did noticed them, Hendricus 14:14, 31 Decembris 2007 (UTC)
- ex is often used in the special Latin of the taxonomists to precede a formerly accepted binomen. I think that's the case here: ex is a technical usage, and it should be retained. As Iacobus says, the normal Latin equivalent would be olim. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:59, 31 Decembris 2007 (UTC)
- Then i will use olim instead, Hendricus 15:19, 31 Decembris 2007 (UTC)
- But see Andrew's point: if ex is a technical term in that field, you should keep it; but it's not an abbreviation (and therefore isn't followed by a period), and any noun that follows it must be in the ablative case, so "ex. Kangurus bicolor" would be wrong, and "ex Kangaro bicolore" or "ex Kangaru bicolore," depending on whether kangarus is second declension or fourth, might be right—unless, of course, ex has become an adverb as a technical term.

- Then i get the point (period) out of it, Hendricus 15:29, 31 Decembris 2007 (UTC)
