Look2See1. Good work on the new additions to Rancho El Escorpión. My previous concern was that we should keep the material on the page directly related to the page, and not branch off into other material, interesting as it is, that is actually better on another page. Thanks.
Thanks for that link. There is often unintended confusion between the land grant "Rancho" and the "main house" (usually an adobe, usually historic) "Rancho". We see this at Rancho Simi, Rancho Cerritos, Rancho Encino, etc They are quite different (but related) and should have each have their own page. Cheers. Emargie ( talk) 00:04, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for noticing the duplication between Spanish gardens and Spanish garden. I've gone ahead and merged these. Also, the talk page, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Horticulture and Gardening, would have been a better place to point this out than Wikipedia:WikiProject Horticulture and Gardening, but that is no big deal.

Hello, thanks for helping with the Russian history in Hawaii. However, I think you mistook the different towns with the same name. The Russians were on Kauaʻi, the western-most major island. So the material belongs in the Waimea, Kauai County, Hawaii article. The town Waimea, Hawaii County, Hawaii is in on the other side of the island chain, hundreds of miles east. It is confusing that Hawaii has multiple cities with the same name; mostly due to getting the names hundreds of years before becoming part of the USA. Also be careful of diacritic usage.

[1] Stating a botanical garden as "superb" without reliable sources is a violation of our neutral point of view policy. Wikipedia maintains neutrality; we do not inject our personal beliefs or views into an article. — Dark 05:30, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Shoshoni is not, and never was, spoken in California. Look at every item in the bibliography in the article and you will not see one word saying that Shoshoni was spoken in California. Timbisha is spoken in California, but it is not Shoshoni--it is a separate language. See also the article on Numic languages for further bibliography if you're still confused.

1. Live help - type in the white bit at the bottom - please give it another go
2. Yes, that will work
3. To create a new subfolder, the easiest way is, make a link to it somewhere (such as here) - put it in brackets, so e.g. [[User:Look2See1/foo]] - if I write that here, without the nowiki, it'll be a redlink - User:Look2See1/foo. If you click that and make it, it will then show up in that 'flashy drop-down' thingy above.
4. Glad you've decided to stick with it; it is quite a steep learning curve, but you have already passed the apex. Just ask for help - that's what we're here for, we all help each other. Cheers, Chzz ► 02:44, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Re. "What do the tl and tlp acronyms mean"
(moved this to a separate section, to avoid it being lost in the midst of all the other stuff)
There are several templates to allow you to 'cancel out' a template. If you put e.g. {{helpme}} here on this page, it will be 'live', and will alert helpers. When they process the request, they will change it to {{tn|helpme}} or {{tlp|helpme}} etc, to 'cancel it' - instead of then showing the large box "I am looking for help" etc, it will show like e.g. {{helpme}}.
I believe that 'tn' stands for 'template null'; 'tl' stands for 'template link' because it gives a link to the templates page of documentation.
'Tlp' is 'template link with parameters';
If somebody writes "{{helpme|How do I sign my name?}}" and, after helping them, it is changed to "{{tn|helpme|How do I sign my name?}}" it will only display as {{helpme}}|How do I sign my name? - the 'parameter' they used (viz. their question) will not display.
If, however, it is changed to "{{tlp|helpme|How do I sign my name?}}" it will display the 'parameter', ie {{ helpme|How do I sign my name?}}.
I hope this clarifies. Chzz ► 19:09, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for trying to sort the Paiute/Mono nomenclature, Mono Lake Paiute. I have tried to pair the historical/archaic term "Mono Lake Paiute" with a contemporary tribe, particularly in the instance of turn of the century basketweavers, Lucy Telles, Carrie Bethel, and Nellie Charlie. Would it be most accurate to describe them as being part of the Mono tribe or is there a better term to use? Thanks, - Uyvsdi ( talk) 04:11, 12 April 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
Thanks for your changes to the Robert Allerton Park article. Bigturtle ( talk) 14:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I just noticed you created and populated Category:Fauna of California. There have been numerous community decisions at Categories for Discussion not to keep such categories (e.g., here), because it just creates a big mess on species articles to have unrestricted categorization of their distribution within subnational entities such as states, and such small slivers of an animal's distribution are better handled by list articles. Articles such as the brown rat otherwise would end up in hundreds of categories. This is why all the existing categories were drawn narrowly ( Lists of fauna of California, Endemic fauna of California), or described broader geographic regions that actually correlated to different fauna and environments and are not limited to states ( Category:Fauna of the Lower Colorado River Valley, Category:Fauna of the Sonoran Desert). Most of what you have populated Category:Fauna of California with are just list articles that are already in the "lists of fauna" category and so their presence in an unrestricted category is redundant, and all of it was already otherwise properly categorized (including by its relationship with California). So given all of that (primarily the fact that it's a recreation of deleted material), I'm going to depopulate it and speedy delete it. postdlf ( talk) 23:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Look2See1, when you make an edit, as you did to Renaissance Architecture, could you please leave an edit summary. That page is frequently vandalised. Amandajm ( talk) 10:07, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Look2See1; I'm not sure why you made the edit to the growth section of Vaccinium parvifolium. To my way of thinking, it is more difficult to verify and maintain with the English units since reliable sources use metric. To me, they seem out of place in an article on botany and not consistent with WP:MOS and WP:TOL. You degraded the formatting of the heading and left a template with no context. Finally, you introduced an extraneous right bracket. [2] Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 04:38, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'm confused by edit summaries here where you mention limnology (an unrelated topic), but this has nothing to do with your edit. Also, here you make some big mistakes with terminology and here you make many more. I have made changes to these and several other articles that you have recently edited. While I do appreciate your willingness to contribute, please be more cautious to be correct in the future so someone doesn't have to come along and fix things after you or (worse) no one fixes them and incorrect things are on WP. Do feel free to ask at my talk if you have questions about hydrology/geomorphology/etc. Awickert ( talk) 02:53, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I just reverted your good-faith edit because I felt that the two categories you added didn't fit the article's subject matter. As an article about natural environments, environmental design didn't seem relevant, and since the article's focus is not on environmental conservation (in fact it barely makes reference to it), the Conservation category didn't seem to be appropriate either. If you believe that these categories are relevant to the article, please discuss their inclusion in the article on the Talk:Natural environment before readding them. Thanks.

Hi Look2See1; Please review Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorizing_pages. "Pages are not placed directly into every possible category, only into the most specific one in any branch. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C. For exceptions to this rule, see Eponymous categories and Non-diffusing subcategories below." A grass should not be placed both in Category:Grasslands of California and Category:Native grasses of California because the latter is a subcategory of the former. Exceptions exist but do not apply here. [3] Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 16:47, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Also, in edits like this and this one needs to remove Category:Kern County, California because Category:Parks in Kern County, California is in the former (as of your edit to those pages, they would have been "double categorized" in "Kern County, California"). It would be nice if you could double check your Special:MyContributions during that period to make sure you didn't make the same mistake on other articles. Thanks.

"Redwood National and State Parks" is a VERY specific name for only REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK and the three state parks (Prarie Creek, Del Norte Coast, and Jedediah Smith) that are located adjacent to (actually touching) Redwood National Park. As a result of this fact, I have adjusted your Good Faith edits to correct the confusion before it goes any further. The RNSP Cat. now has the articles that related to the specific area that the four parks cover. The category was in error listing any parks beyond those three State parks in addition to RNP and would have served only to confuse readers. No other parks are included in the historic management compact that exists in between only the three listed state parks and Redwood National Park. Disagree?

Thanks very much for cleaning up the citations and for adding the diacritics indicating glottalization to the Ventureño language article. May I ask that you please remake separate columns for palatal and post-alveolar places of articulation? Every Chumashist (including myself) treats the places of articulation as non-interchangeable. I've been studying the language over 5 years now at a major research university, and I agree with the other Chumashists: different columns.
I'll apologize in advance if this seems overly-detailed, but it is important to accurately represent the language. And I do appreciate all the help in cleaning things up and making the article look just spectacular. I would like to include orthographic symbols next to the IPA characters, and would very much welcome help with that.

I've noticed you adding a lot of new categories to Native American articles. Many of your additions are redundant, as they are already subcats of categories already in these articles.

Thanks for that link. There is often unintended confusion between the land grant "Rancho" and the "main house" (usually an adobe, usually historic) "Rancho".

Hello, thanks for helping with the Russian history in Hawaii. However, I think you mistook the different towns with the same name. The Russians were on Kauaʻi, the western-most major island. So the material belongs in the Waimea, Kauai County, Hawaii article. The town Waimea, Hawaii County, Hawaii is in on the other side of the island chain, hundreds of miles east. It is confusing that Hawaii has multiple cities with the same name; mostly due to getting the names hundreds of years before becoming part of the USA. Also be careful of diacritic usage.

Shoshoni is not, and never was, spoken in California. Look at every item in the bibliography in the article and you will not see one word saying that Shoshoni was spoken in California. Timbisha is spoken in California, but it is not Shoshoni--it is a separate language. See also the article on Numic languages for further bibliography if you're still confused.

2. Yes, that will work
3. To create a new subfolder, the easiest way is, make a link to it somewhere (such as here) - put it in brackets, so e.g. [[User:Look2See1/foo]] - if I write that here, without the nowiki, it'll be a redlink - User:Look2See1/foo. If you click that and make it, it will then show up in that 'flashy drop-down' thingy above.
4. Glad you've decided to stick with it; it is quite a steep learning curve, but you have already passed the apex. Just ask for help - that's what we're here for, we all help each other. Cheers, Chzz ► 02:44, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Re. "What do the tl and tlp acronyms mean"
(moved this to a separate section, to avoid it being lost in the midst of all the other stuff)
There are several templates to allow you to 'cancel out' a template. If you put e.g. {{helpme}} here on this page, it will be 'live', and will alert helpers. When they process the request, they will change it to {{tn|helpme}} or {{tlp|helpme}} etc, to 'cancel it' - instead of then showing the large box "I am looking for help" etc, it will show like e.g. {{helpme}}.
I believe that 'tn' stands for 'template null'; 'tl' stands for 'template link' because it gives a link to the templates page of documentation.
'Tlp' is 'template link with parameters';
If somebody writes "{{helpme|How do I sign my name?}}" and, after helping them, it is changed to "{{tn|helpme|How do I sign my name?}}" it will only display as {{helpme}}|How do I sign my name? - the 'parameter' they used (viz. their question) will not display.
If, however, it is changed to "{{tlp|helpme|How do I sign my name?}}" it will display the 'parameter', ie {{ helpme|How do I sign my name?}}.
I hope this clarifies. Chzz ► 19:09, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for trying to sort the Paiute/Mono nomenclature, Mono Lake Paiute. I have tried to pair the historical/archaic term "Mono Lake Paiute" with a contemporary tribe, particularly in the instance of turn of the century basketweavers, Lucy Telles, Carrie Bethel, and Nellie Charlie. Would it be most accurate to describe them as being part of the Mono tribe or is there a better term to use? Thanks, - Uyvsdi ( talk) 04:11, 12 April 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi

Hi, I just noticed you created and populated Category:Fauna of California. There have been numerous community decisions at Categories for Discussion not to keep such categories (e.g., here), because it just creates a big mess on species articles to have unrestricted categorization of their distribution within subnational entities such as states, and such small slivers of an animal's distribution are better handled by list articles. Articles such as the brown rat otherwise would end up in hundreds of categories. This is why all the existing categories were drawn narrowly ( Lists of fauna of California, Endemic fauna of California), or described broader geographic regions that actually correlated to different fauna and environments and are not limited to states ( Category:Fauna of the Lower Colorado River Valley, Category:Fauna of the Sonoran Desert). Most of what you have populated Category:Fauna of California with are just list articles that are already in the "lists of fauna" category and so their presence in an unrestricted category is redundant, and all of it was already otherwise properly categorized (including by its relationship with California). So given all of that (primarily the fact that it's a recreation of deleted material), I'm going to depopulate it and speedy delete it. postdlf ( talk) 23:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Look2See1; I'm not sure why you made the edit to the growth section of Vaccinium parvifolium. To my way of thinking, it is more difficult to verify and maintain with the English units since reliable sources use metric. To me, they seem out of place in an article on botany and not consistent with WP:MOS and WP:TOL. You degraded the formatting of the heading and left a template with no context. Finally, you introduced an extraneous right bracket. [2] Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 04:38, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'm confused by edit summaries here where you mention limnology (an unrelated topic), but this has nothing to do with your edit. Also, here you make some big mistakes with terminology and here you make many more. I have made changes to these and several other articles that you have recently edited. While I do appreciate your willingness to contribute, please be more cautious to be correct in the future so someone doesn't have to come along and fix things after you or (worse) no one fixes them and incorrect things are on WP. Do feel free to ask at my talk if you have questions about hydrology/geomorphology/etc. Awickert ( talk) 02:53, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I just reverted your good-faith edit because I felt that the two categories you added didn't fit the article's subject matter. As an article about natural environments, environmental design didn't seem relevant, and since the article's focus is not on environmental conservation (in fact it barely makes reference to it), the Conservation category didn't seem to be appropriate either. If you believe that these categories are relevant to the article, please discuss their inclusion in the article on the Talk:Natural environment before readding them. Thanks.

Hi Look2See1; Please review Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorizing_pages. "Pages are not placed directly into every possible category, only into the most specific one in any branch. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C. For exceptions to this rule, see Eponymous categories and Non-diffusing subcategories below." A grass should not be placed both in Category:Grasslands of California and Category:Native grasses of California because the latter is a subcategory of the former. Exceptions exist but do not apply here. [3] Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 16:47, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Also, in edits like this and this one needs to remove Category:Kern County, California because Category:Parks in Kern County, California is in the former (as of your edit to those pages, they would have been "double categorized" in "Kern County, California"). It would be nice if you could double check your Special:MyContributions during that period to make sure you didn't make the same mistake on other articles. Thanks.

"Redwood National and State Parks" is a VERY specific name for only REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK and the three state parks (Prarie Creek, Del Norte Coast, and Jedediah Smith) that are located adjacent to (actually touching) Redwood National Park. As a result of this fact, I have adjusted your Good Faith edits to correct the confusion before it goes any further. The RNSP Cat. now has the articles that related to the specific area that the four parks cover. The category was in error listing any parks beyond those three State parks in addition to RNP and would have served only to confuse readers. No other parks are included in the historic management compact that exists in between only the three listed state parks and Redwood National Park. Disagree?

Thanks very much for cleaning up the citations and for adding the diacritics indicating glottalization to the Ventureño language article. May I ask that you please remake separate columns for palatal and post-alveolar places of articulation? Every Chumashist (including myself) treats the places of articulation as non-interchangeable. I've been studying the language over 5 years now at a major research university, and I agree with the other Chumashists: different columns.
I'll apologize in advance if this seems overly-detailed, but it is important to accurately represent the language. And I do appreciate all the help in cleaning things up and making the article look just spectacular. I would like to include orthographic symbols next to the IPA characters, and would very much welcome help with that.
