Support This a significant database, in addition it may in future be linked to the very large CC0 licensed data portal they are building. --John Cummings (talk) 16:11, 30 July 2016 (UTC)- Support with
Comment This database, though significant, contains quite some errors or incomplete data. As an example, if we visit 215155.0, about Ptychamalia ligys (Q13543180), the typed data suggest that Ptychamalia ligys is the original combination. On the card we can clearly see that Prout placed it in Hamalia, as we may check here. Still I think linking is useful. Lymantria (talk) 09:57, 5 August 2016 (UTC) - @John Cummings, Lymantria:
