Request

Change "Holocene" to "Recent" or "Present" on the fossil range for spider. Other animals like the mammoth had made it to Holocene but went extinct so change spiders range to Pennslyvanian to Present Foshtx (talk) 15:21, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 22 June 2026

Please add the following resource to the "External links" section of the article:

Arácnido Taxonomy

Reason: Arácnido Taxonomy is a freely accessible educational and scientific resource dedicated to spider taxonomy, systematics, identification, biogeography, natural history, and arachnid research. The site compiles taxonomic information, species accounts, distribution data, literature references, and educational materials that may be useful to students, hobbyists, researchers, and academics interested in tarantulas and other spiders. As a specialized taxonomy-focused resource, it may provide additional value to readers seeking further information beyond the scope of the encyclopedia article.

 Not done. 1) Please write in your own words, 2) Apparent link spam. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:27, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Good afternoon, Deacon.

I respectfully disagree with the characterization of this link as "link spam." The resource has been shared with and utilized by members of the scientific community, academic institutions, and recognized professional organizations, including the American Arachnological Society and the British Arachnological Society, among others involved in arachnological research, taxonomy, and education. The purpose of proposing this link is not promotional. Rather, it is intended to provide readers with access to a curated resource containing spider taxonomic information, references, and educational material that may be of value to researchers, students, and enthusiasts seeking additional information beyond the content currently presented in the article. As with any external link, I welcome evaluation based on its relevance, reliability, educational value, and compliance with Wikipedia's external links guidelines.
