Hello, it's nice to meet you. I see that you've been removing "Spiders of New Zealand" categories from NZ spider articles when the "Endemic spiders of New Zealand" category is present. I don't quite understand the rationale behind this (I am still a novice, so perhaps I am missing something).
My understanding is that you're removing this because endemic spiders is already a subcategory of the NZ spiders category. However, my concern is that this prevents a single list of all NZ spiders from being created because some of the species are separated out into a different subcategory, and thus are on a different list.
In the mean time, I'll proceed using just one of the categories.
My understanding is that you're removing this because endemic spiders is already a subcategory of the NZ spiders category. — Correct. Per WP:CATSPECIFIC "if a page belongs to a subcategory [Endemic spiders of New Zealand] of C [Spiders of New Zealand] then it is not normally placed directly into C [Spiders of New Zealand]".
my concern is that this prevents a single list of all NZ spiders from being created because some of the species are separated out into a different subcategory — Breaking down large sets of articles into sub-categories is an intended feature of the category system - see WP:DIFFUSE. There are (at least) two ways to achieve what you want, not necessarily mutually exclusive:

you have created a lead sentence that cannot ultimately be proved - 66 is possible - the number has never been determined in a final sense that you could find one of your favourite fantasies - the ultimate reference that is not arguable... not possible in view of the available evidence to date. Just because the Museum and others claim the final word, a certain level of uncertainty in a wikipedia article is imho better than assertion of the museum and coroners claims.. To assert the number in the lead sentence is something that may at some stage be disproved, but then certainty of the assertions of the coroner and the museum may well at some stage be disproved.

I think adding the number to the lead is a pointless edit - the fact that there were problems with numbers over time - regardless of whether the sources that I added (sic), can be considered to date, throw your chisel away, and try a feather duster as a paint brush, as a lot of what you edit, there is no guarantee of certainty or finality.

I think adding the number to the lead is a pointless edit — I think that the number of entries is a reasonable inclusion in the lead paragraph of a list article that is not marked as an {{Incomplete list}}.
there is no guarantee of certainty — True, but a reliable source is as good as it gets, which is more than can be said for the unsourced and virtually unprovable assertion that "an official list of deaths was never compiled".

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention.

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Look for yourself, rather than following others - where is the Nomenclature advisory board of Western Australia - then Geographic Names committee of Western Australia get explained in context?

Then if there is this in the article:
Book
The booklet Centenary of Western Australia Albany 1827–1927 was produced by the Albany Centenary Committee and published by the Albany Advertiser. It provided background to the founding of Albany, including material previously published in the 1910–1913 publication "Alluring Albany".
The booklet subtitle provides the context of the celebration: commemoration of the raising of the British flag by Edmund Lockyer on 21 January 1827 to establish Western Australia's first settlement.
You are back into the bollocks territory - the article is about the event (see the subheading). and the book (see above)
