Hi "FunkMonk". I have seen you deleted my diagram of the skull of Archaeopteryx from the Archaeopteryx article on 11/1, and want to discuss this with you:
First of all, the teeth. They are based on this skull, in which I think the teeth looks "relatively" large.
Second, the skull of Archaeopteryx: I thougth they were very well preserved in the Berlin specimen and Eichstätt specimen? Also, the shape and arrangement of the bones in the skull are based on a picture from The Princeton Fieldguide to Dinosaurs by Gregory Scott Paul. Isn't he a trustworthy scientist (at least when it comes to dinosaurs and mesozoic birds)? Thank you for reading this advise/ Conty 22:30, 11 January 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conty ( talk • contribs)
I don't know why the images are reduced in size when I work with them (I don't do it...). Conty 14:40, 14 january 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conty ( talk • contribs)

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
Excellent job on the new picture for mammals - it had long bothered me and you chose a great selection. μηδείς ( talk) 17:53, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
I'd be interested in your comments on the images here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Medeis#Animal which I am gathering to create a better collage for the article Animal. The current image for the article has two mammals yet no invertebrates besides a mollusc and two arthropods.
I would be especially interested in your suggestion as to which vertebrates of the ones I have assembled to pick, and which bird, if any. Or to know if you suggest any other images.

Hi, I was glad to see you updating the ceratopsian images that I removed a few months earlier for the inaccurate hands! I've been rereading Fujiwara's Triceratops paper, and it turns out that another issue with most of them is that the fourth and fifth fingers shouldn't be touching the ground (as in the updated Triceratops image or Tamura's newer ceratopsians). Incidentally, the Montanoceratops image is still inaccurate in that the nose horn has since been found to be a misplaced cheek horn. Also, I'm thinking that the ankylosaur hands might need to be even more sauropod like, per Senter's 2010 paper. Albertonykus ( talk) 12:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignity is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignity until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — Chowbok ☠ 20:56, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
I hate to trouble you, but would it be possible if I can get your help in stopping an edit war between Raptor Red, myself and some other users at Walking With Dinosaurs? Raptor Red's edits are original research and speculation made in order to imply that the Walking With series is factual correct under all circumstances. He also does not reference his edits, beyond mentioning that "it's true," or that it's said so in the book, or claiming that it "isn't original research," or referring to some dubious source like another wikia or the talkforum of a defunct fanpage. Could I ask you if you talk some sense into him?-- Mr Fink ( talk) 03:04, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

The file I uploaded at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Giant_ant_fossil.jpg is now up for deletion. You had a tag saying it was moved to wikicommons, but the link you had there was a dead end. Was it moved over and named something else? All the articles about this new discovery have two pictures of a hummingbird next to the ant fossil. You uploaded the other one to wikicommon and then linked to it from the article I created, replacing my original image. Titanomyrma I think my image is better, since the hummingbird is more colorful. Is there a place where the owner specifically says he is releasing both the images to the public domain? Dream Focus 02:28, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello; as the uploader and user of the more recent version of the cladogram, you might be interested in, or able to help with, the issue I've raised over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mammals#Laurasiathere taxonomy. 84.203.34.52 ( talk) 15:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi FunkMonk. I've been working hard to get John Day Fossil Beds National Monument up to FA status. It's recently been through a complex peer review, and I'm planning on nominating the article at FAC late next week. The image that you added today sandwiches text between two images, which the Manual of Style advises against. WP:MOSIM says in part, "Avoid sandwiching text between two images that face each other, or between an image and an infobox." In addition, the image is low-res, whereas I've been adding high-res images throughout the article. Readers can get a fair idea of what some of these critters looked like by clicking through to articles about them. I'm writing to you rather than simply reverting, because I don't want you to think I'm hostile or thoughtless. I recently reverted a similar image you added to Petrified Forest National Park on the same grounds, but I only explained my reasoning in my edit summary. Do you mind if I remove the extinct fossil image? Finetooth ( talk) 01:23, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I thought I should explain why I decided to change the format of the List of extinct genera in Jurassic Park page. First of all, when I first stumbled onto the page, I found it extremely awkward because the explanation part of the table was not only far to the right, but squeezed into a small box. Second, you explained that you reverted because the previous style "show clearly show which film each genus appears in", but I disagree. When I first was reading through the article, I found that when I was halfway down the page, all I saw was a bunch of X's and checks. It didn't really help me see which one each dinosaur is in.
Additionally, although this is a list-style article, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be represented via table (See List of Scream characters, a GA nominee that has a different approach to addressing objects over several different movies)
I was trying to find a style that solved these problems. If you have another idea, let me know, but I think it needs to be be changed somehow, if not that particular way, to address these issues.

Yeah I really think the infobox for example on pages such as the Lebanese people, provides a wide variety of the Lebanese as a whole, that is what I'm attempting to convey as well on the Palestinian page, with more notable people one can get a better picture of who Palestinians are as a whole, as well as see a variety of appearances within the country, it gives a better representative of the population. With only a few people in the infobox it also appears to give an illusion that there are very few notable people as a whole as to fill the box. I was wondering if you could fix the images into a collage like you did with the first set, I attempted and it didn't come out very well so I thought I'd ask you, you seem to be pretty good at this. :) Lazyfoxx ( talk) 05:45, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Dear FunkMonk, (your name was posted HERE by another admin).
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 17:58, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I may get banned on here soon, just want to say it was a pleasure meeting you, I hope you continue to improve articles such as the Lebanese and the Palestinians, there seems to be a subtle high pro-israeli agenda among many of the editors on these pages and they seem to always win their "arguments" due to sheer numbers, I have noticed, it's quite sad. Anyways, I hope you continue to work on improving the Palestinian infobox if my version gets removed again "due to Saint George and Jesus being included in them" Perhaps if I get banned you could make a new version including the other 15 people I included in the infobox, seeing as I won't be able to if I get banned.

Obviously we do have a few excellent pictures, in high resolution, of the one known fossil but we are still lacking some close-ups: one of the dentition, which could be obtained from File:9120 - Milano, Museo storia naturale - Scipionyx samniticus - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto 22-Apr-2007.jpg, and one of the digestive tract from the elbows down to and including the tail base (the track extends far beyond the pelvis centre), for which File:9121 - Milano, Museo storia naturale - Scipionyx samniticus - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto 22-Apr-2007a.jpg could be used. I'd do it myself if I weren't a total twit in these things, the latter sad fact making me wonder whether you could find the time to help me out. Again.
On a related issue, I noticed that this interesting article: Frey, E. & Tischlinger, H., 2012, The Late Jurassic Pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus, a Frequent Victim of the Ganoid Fish Aspidorhynchus? PLoS ONE 7(3): e31945. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0031945, has some very nice and basically copyright-free images. Just a hint ;o).

FunkMonk, although you were right that a synonym of Tanystropheus does not merit its own page, your solution was a little crude. By simply blanking out the content of Procerosaurus and replacing it with a redirect, you lost some useful information that could be added to the target page. The correct procedure is a merge. See Help:Merging for how to do this. You can also look at my recent edits of the two articles and their talk pages. RockMagnetist ( talk) 04:17, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi "FunkMonk". I have seen you deleted my diagram of the skull of Archaeopteryx from the Archaeopteryx article on 11/1, and want to discuss this with you:
First of all, the teeth. They are based on this skull, in which I think the teeth looks "relatively" large.
Second, the skull of Archaeopteryx: I thougth they were very well preserved in the Berlin specimen and Eichstätt specimen? Also, the shape and arrangement of the bones in the skull are based on a picture from The Princeton Fieldguide to Dinosaurs by Gregory Scott Paul. Isn't he a trustworthy scientist (at least when it comes to dinosaurs and mesozoic birds)?

Hi, I was glad to see you updating the ceratopsian images that I removed a few months earlier for the inaccurate hands! I've been rereading Fujiwara's Triceratops paper, and it turns out that another issue with most of them is that the fourth and fifth fingers shouldn't be touching the ground (as in the updated Triceratops image or Tamura's newer ceratopsians). Incidentally, the Montanoceratops image is still inaccurate in that the nose horn has since been found to be a misplaced cheek horn. Also, I'm thinking that the ankylosaur hands might need to be even more sauropod like, per Senter's 2010 paper. Albertonykus ( talk) 12:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

The file I uploaded at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Giant_ant_fossil.jpg is now up for deletion. You had a tag saying it was moved to wikicommons, but the link you had there was a dead end. Was it moved over and named something else? All the articles about this new discovery have two pictures of a hummingbird next to the ant fossil. You uploaded the other one to wikicommon and then linked to it from the article I created, replacing my original image. Titanomyrma I think my image is better, since the hummingbird is more colorful.

Hi FunkMonk. I've been working hard to get John Day Fossil Beds National Monument up to FA status. It's recently been through a complex peer review, and I'm planning on nominating the article at FAC late next week. The image that you added today sandwiches text between two images, which the Manual of Style advises against. WP:MOSIM says in part, "Avoid sandwiching text between two images that face each other, or between an image and an infobox." In addition, the image is low-res, whereas I've been adding high-res images throughout the article. Readers can get a fair idea of what some of these critters looked like by clicking through to articles about them. I'm writing to you rather than simply reverting, because I don't want you to think I'm hostile or thoughtless. I recently reverted a similar image you added to Petrified Forest National Park on the same grounds, but I only explained my reasoning in my edit summary. Do you mind if I remove the extinct fossil image? Finetooth ( talk) 01:23, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I thought I should explain why I decided to change the format of the List of extinct genera in Jurassic Park page. First of all, when I first stumbled onto the page, I found it extremely awkward because the explanation part of the table was not only far to the right, but squeezed into a small box. Second, you explained that you reverted because the previous style "show clearly show which film each genus appears in", but I disagree. When I first was reading through the article, I found that when I was halfway down the page, all I saw was a bunch of X's and checks. It didn't really help me see which one each dinosaur is in.
Additionally, although this is a list-style article, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be represented via table (See List of Scream characters, a GA nominee that has a different approach to addressing objects over several different movies)
I was trying to find a style that solved these problems. If you have another idea, let me know, but I think it needs to be be changed somehow, if not that particular way, to address these issues.

Yeah I really think the infobox for example on pages such as the Lebanese people, provides a wide variety of the Lebanese as a whole, that is what I'm attempting to convey as well on the Palestinian page, with more notable people one can get a better picture of who Palestinians are as a whole, as well as see a variety of appearances within the country, it gives a better representative of the population. With only a few people in the infobox it also appears to give an illusion that there are very few notable people as a whole as to fill the box. I was wondering if you could fix the images into a collage like you did with the first set, I attempted and it didn't come out very well so I thought I'd ask you, you seem to be pretty good at this. :) Lazyfoxx ( talk) 05:45, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Dear FunkMonk, (your name was posted HERE by another admin).
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 17:58, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I may get banned on here soon, just want to say it was a pleasure meeting you, I hope you continue to improve articles such as the Lebanese and the Palestinians, there seems to be a subtle high pro-israeli agenda among many of the editors on these pages and they seem to always win their "arguments" due to sheer numbers, I have noticed, it's quite sad. Anyways, I hope you continue to work on improving the Palestinian infobox if my version gets removed again "due to Saint George and Jesus being included in them" Perhaps if I get banned you could make a new version including the other 15 people I included in the infobox, seeing as I won't be able to if I get banned.
best of luck to you in the future, Lazyfoxx ( talk) 05:22, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I believe, then, that his article should be corrected as referring to him as "Sunni" without citing disagreement over this is indeed a victory for the group commonly referred to as "Salafis" (Who consider Ibn Taymiyya to be a guided scholar while ortodox Muslims do not).
I will correct it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GMP Saifi ( talk • contribs) 09:44, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
I put the quotes into your talk page and then deleted them. You can find them in your history. I don't want the copyright violation robots to get their panties in a bunch. So to speak. If you need more, let me know. I can be reached via e-mail, and if you provide them I can do this with any of those sources and send it to you as a file. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 19:59, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Hallo, FunkMonk! As you have noticed, I'm expanding the Scipionyx article. Earlier, on the Dutch Wikipedia I wrote a very long article, with the embarrassing result I ran out of images. Obviously we do have a few excellent pictures, in high resolution, of the one known fossil but we are still lacking some close-ups: one of the dentition, which could be obtained from File:9120 - Milano, Museo storia naturale - Scipionyx samniticus - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto 22-Apr-2007.jpg, and one of the digestive tract from the elbows down to and including the tail base (the track extends far beyond the pelvis centre), for which File:9121 - Milano, Museo storia naturale - Scipionyx samniticus - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto 22-Apr-2007a.jpg could be used. I'd do it myself if I weren't a total twit in these things, the latter sad fact making me wonder whether you could find the time to help me out. Again.
On a related issue, I noticed that this interesting article: Frey, E. & Tischlinger, H., 2012, The Late Jurassic Pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus, a Frequent Victim of the Ganoid Fish Aspidorhynchus? PLoS ONE 7(3): e31945. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0031945, has some very nice and basically copyright-free images. Just a hint ;o).

How do you get the automatic taxobox to display a family? I want to mention in the taxobox that Bohaskaia is in Monodontidae, but, I'm hesitant to do so for fear of screwing it up.-- Mr Fink ( talk) 02:37, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Funkmonk!
What do you think of the last version of the aurochs morphology img?

The article Lebanese nationality law needs more reliable and up-to-date information. If you are interested you can contribute to it. Thanks in advance.

My oversight! But if the other image was unspecified, it is better that it went - though it is unfortunate that the only Peripatus image we have is so mediocre! PaleCloudedWhite ( talk) 22:39, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

If it is possible for you to help me develop the Sunni Islam in Lebanon subsections "Relations with Syria", "Relations with Saudi Arabia" and "Relations with Lebanese Alawites". Thanks in advance.

FunkMonk, although you were right that a synonym of Tanystropheus does not merit its own page, your solution was a little crude. By simply blanking out the content of Procerosaurus and replacing it with a redirect, you lost some useful information that could be added to the target page. The correct procedure is a merge. See Help:Merging for how to do this. You can also look at my recent edits of the two articles and their talk pages. RockMagnetist ( talk) 04:17, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
