Hi all,
- It was created on the Vietnamese Wikipedia on 5 Jun 2013
- It was created on the Swedish Wikipedia on 17 May 2014
- It was created on the Waray Wikipedia on 26 May 2014
- It was as created on the Cebuano Wikipedia on 11 Nov 2017
I must admit I am hella confused here. Usually Lsjbot started off translating articles from the various Austronesian languages spoken in the The Philippines.
Your thoughts about this?

- @Shirt58: I thought Lsjbot started creating articles in Swedish first, and the Austronesian languages came later. I'm used to seeing ceb/sv/vi/war interwiki links for most organisms, and I had just assumed that Lsjbot was responsible for the Vietnamese ones as well (I have previously made comments attributing Vietnamese articles to Lsjbot), but now that I look, the Vietnamese article was created by a different bot, and it appears that Lsjbot has not been active in Vietnamese. And the Vietnamese article is based on The Plant List, while as far as I know all of Lsjbot's species articles are based on Catalogue of Life.
- I could see Lsjbot articles in different languages being created "out of order" if Catalogue of Life were updated between the initial Lsjbot runs in the languages, and subsequent runs for species newly added to CoL (not necessarily newly described, just newly included in CoL).
- The IUCN assessment for this species is from 2018; Polbot would've created the English article article if it had been assessed by 2007. Plantdrew (talk) 03:29, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Plantdrew: Long answer: umm, History of Wikipedia#Timeline something something, Lsjbot and, erm... have I mentioned that I'm very much confused here? Short answer: :Lsjbot? Still very much confused about all this. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:29, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
