Hi Look2See1 - just a note: please don't add "scientific name" to the lede of species articles named for the common name. The standard format is "bold common name, followed by scientific name in brackets and italics" - see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Organisms#Lead_section. Also, the IUCN link (if there is one) should by preference go into the taxobox (see e.g. current Valley and ridge salamander) and not under 'external links'. Cheers! -- Elmidae ( talk) 09:18, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello Look2See1,
Thanks for your edit to List of Melaleuca species. You appear to know more about categories than I do - however, it does not seem correct to include List of Melaleuca species in a "List of Trees". You originally added that category in September 2010 when few of the Melaleuca articles were written. I removed it a few weeks ago because only a (fairly small) percentage of melaleucas can be classified as "trees". Perhaps the ones you're familiar with (maybe the U.S. or Canada?) are trees but most are actually shrubs - some very low shrubs at that. Melaleuca apodocephala, for example, grows to a height of 2 inches (4cm) max! As I said, perhaps you know more about categories than I do - maybe if one in a list of 500 plants is a tree then it's okay to include all in a list of trees. Seems strange to me though. Gderrin ( talk) 08:16, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, you have been adding categories such as Category:Taxa named by John Torrey, Category:Taxa named by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle when that is not considered to be the case in botanical nomenclature. For example, Purshia DC. ex Poir. was named by Poiret in 1816, and although De Candolle named it again in an 1818 publication, his name is illegitimate. There was an earlier manuscript of De Candolle's which Poiret used as a basis, but that is not a validly published name. Purshia stansburyana (Torr.) Henrickson was called Cowania stansburyana by John Torrey. In zoology there is a pattern similar to what you have done, that the person who first gave a name, any name, to a taxon, is listed ever after, even if they blundered badly on the taxonomy, but that is not how botanical nomenclature works. If the species name is wrong, then the taxon assignment is wrong, so it cannot be said that the person named the taxon. Sminthopsis84 ( talk) 12:39, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I have recently started a new WikiProject and am trying to recruit new members. The project, WikiProject Wildfire, focuses on articles that relate to wildfires. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. From updating templates, to classifying and improving articles. Any level of commitment is welcome! If you care to just add some input on the founding of the new project, awesome. If you would like to take an active role in editing articles, that is awesome as well! Knowledge of wildfires is NOT a prerequisite for joining the project. In fact, it would be great to have some members of the project who are NOT fire-buffs. That way we make sure that articles aren't just written by and for people in the fire community. If this is something you have any interest in, I would love to have you join the project! Please feel free to join the discussion or leave me a message on my talk page. (Note that you are receiving this message from me because I saw you made multiple edits on a wildfire related page, specifically Old Fire. Not just spamming you at random.) Hope you have a great day!

Please stop trying to use an undated LA Times map to force Cal State LA's location as El Sereno into its article. The map appears to be old, it's inaccurate, it doesn't agree with the Cal State LA website (El Sereno is north of Valley Blvd.) and Cal State LA isn't marked on it. You're too experienced an editor not to be sufficiently well versed in WP:RS and to know how iffy a map that vague and with no date is going to be. Moreover, community/neighborhood designations change; University Hills took its name from the presence of the university in the neighborhood. Instead of edit warring, please use the talk page if you feel a vague LA Times map is a more reliable source for Cal State LA's location than the university itself. -- Drmargi ( talk) 20:15, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with your edit here, but it does raise the question of what "by country" means, since the Galápagos islands are not a country but part of Ecuador.

Hi. I see you've been working on category pages. Please note that Wikipedia:Categorization#Creating category pages advises that in most cases, category pages need only be appropriately categorised and don't need to have textual content. Only in cases where the scope of the category isn't clear from the title should a description be added: "The category description should make direct statements about the criteria by which pages should be selected for inclusion in (or exclusion from) the category." Also, the guideline suggests, "The description can also contain links to other Wikipedia pages, in particular to other related categories which do not appear directly as subcategories or parent categories, and to relevant categories at sister projects, such as Commons." It does not recommend adding a lot of contextual links to articles. Those should be done in article lead sections, not category description pages. Navbox templates are also appropriately placed on article and not category description pages. Thanks. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 22:39, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, my friend. I know, totally know, you are here to help build this encyclopedia. You have made 173,817 edits! Thank you! You are appreciated. I want you to make another 173,817 edits but worry a little.
I see from your talk archives that you sometimes do things the way you think is right even when others object. You may be right. But you know how it is here. Even when you are right, if a bunch of others object, you simply must abide by community wishes. That is a good thing, right? I want to replace the top-left Wikipedia globe in all articles with a picture of meerkats, but the community (including you, probably) disagrees. Are they and you wrong? Yes! Obviously! But I have to listen to you. Your voice matters.
So please, please, just omit the ::::: and {{-}} and observe the other issues pointed out. Using edit summaries would be great too. Please just stick with whatever is conventional.
And please communicate, if you can. I am friendly. My best wishes,

An edit summary is a brief explanation of an to a Wikipedia page. When you edit a page, there is a small text entry field labeled Edit summary located under the main edit box and above the Save page button:

It is good practice to fill in the Edit summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as this helps others to understand the intention of your edit.

Hi there. I've seen many of your category edits over a number of months. There are some features of the edits that I see recurring, the purpose of which I'm really not sure of, so I thought I'd ask. The easiest way to ask about some of these might be through an example, so I've just chosen this edit more or less at random because it has some of the features I am wondering about:
I appreciate that the reason for these types of edits might be because you subjectively feel that it just looks good. If that's the case, I would suggest that maybe we need to remember that what looks good on Wikipedia on the monitor/device that we use to access the website may not look very good at all when others access the same content on their monitor or device. In particular, I have noticed that the excessive indention can cause problems when users access content on the mobile Wikipedia site. Or maybe there's another reason for these types of edits? I don't know, so I just thought I'd ask. – Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:45, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Look2See1. Considering that you do not discuss things much here, I hope you do not mind my using your talk to discuss you with others. You are welcome to join in.
Our friend, Look2See1 took a break 29 December 2016. I posted at his talk then and asked him to please follow community wishes. It was ignored then auto-archived. He resumed editing 27 January 2017. He has been busy.
Spot-checking shows the following:
Ignoring our discussions is an annoyance, and so is not using edit summaries. However, I see him as an easy net positive. I hope nobody is in a hurry to block him.
Look2See1, thanks for easing up on the clrs and omitting the indents. Thanks for the great edits. I still wish you'd communicate more. I know you can. I've seen your talk posts and you are intelligent and articulate. Maybe you are just a bit grumpy and anti-social. That's not meant as a personal attack. A lot of my friends are grumpy and anti-social and I tell them so and like them plenty. Best wishes, and again, thanks for the huge amount of good edits.

Hi, Look2See1. I see that you're adding templates like {{ Nearctic temperate coniferous forests}} to various articles, to serve as navigation boxes. But, those templates were not designed to be navboxes: they were designed to be tables that were to be transcluded into various articles. That's why they don't collapse.
I'm happy to convert them into proper navboxes, but that may be controversial. Could you hold off on adding those to articles until I successfully get them converted? Keep an eye on the template edit history and talk pages. Thanks! — hike395 ( talk) 16:46, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! May I ask why you are inserting navigational templates to unrelated articles ( example)? Navboxes normally should include links to articles in which they are placed (see WP:BIDIRECTIONAL), but that, of course, is normally on the condition that those articles belong in the navbox in the first place. The scope of the "Administrative divisions" navboxes is to cover, well, administrative divisions, yet you are placing these boxes in articles about physical geography features and nature reserves, which makes no sense. Could you please elaborate what you are doing? Thanks.— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); December 27, 2016; 16:39 (UTC)

The extra spaces I removed from the category are not needed. Do not add extra or malformed formatting structure to categories.-- Kev min § 01:01, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Categories with names of the form "Taxon genera" are meant to be used for articles about the genus (or redirects at the genus name where the article is at the English name or the species name). They should not be used for taxonomic categories named after the taxon, since this means that articles about species end up in the "Taxon genera" category. So for example currently there's the hierarchy:
The last of these correctly says "This category is for articles on each of the genera in the family Cactaceae." So starting from Category:Cactaceae genera and working down the category hierarchy you should find Acanthocereus, because this is a genus. You should not find Acanthocereus tetragonus, because this is not a genus.
The category hierarchies should run:
This is explained at Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants/Categorization#Taxonomic rank categories. "Taxon genera" categories are set categories, designed to include sets and subsets of genera articles. Even if they were topic categories, it would be wrong to find an article about a cactus species ultimately in a category called "Cactaceae genera".

Hi I apologise for using a template message above on an experienced user, but you have been around a few years now and should really be using edit summaries the majority to all of the time. As you are making 100's edits per day, whilst I am sure are all in good faith, it just is a great help to other uses to get an idea of the purpose of your edits.

Hi, I see you are adding "design companies" categories to the art galleries categories, e.g. here. In general, art galleries are not design companies and the category seems incorrect (occasionally, an individual art gallery may be a design company, in which case an appropriate category can be added to the individual article of course). Can you please undo these edits? Fram ( talk) 07:24, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Art galleries are not retail companies either like you edited a page found here [9]. Could you please so down your categorization edits and go back and correct the ones you did wrong like requested above. The complaints are piling up on this talk page and it may become necessary for a community discussion about your edits and possibly restricting your categorizing pages. You do good work but you are also making too many problematic edits that need fixing. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
I see you're editing again. Are you planning to undo the edits that Fram asked you above to do? If you're not, an WP:ANI thread may have to be started. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 21:26, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
As I understand it in the US the word School is used in a very broad sense to include Universities, but that is not the case in the UK. So Universities do not belong in the Category "Schools in Manchester". Perhaps the category needs to be broader, like Educational Institutions in Manchester.

Hi Look2See1 - just a note: please don't add "scientific name" to the lede of species articles named for the common name. The standard format is "bold common name, followed by scientific name in brackets and italics" - see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Organisms#Lead_section. Also, the IUCN link (if there is one) should by preference go into the taxobox (see e.g. current Valley and ridge salamander) and not under 'external links'. Cheers! -- Elmidae ( talk) 09:18, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello Look2See1,
Thanks for your edit to List of Melaleuca species. You appear to know more about categories than I do - however, it does not seem correct to include List of Melaleuca species in a "List of Trees". You originally added that category in September 2010 when few of the Melaleuca articles were written. I removed it a few weeks ago because only a (fairly small) percentage of melaleucas can be classified as "trees". Perhaps the ones you're familiar with (maybe the U.S. or Canada?) are trees but most are actually shrubs - some very low shrubs at that. Melaleuca apodocephala, for example, grows to a height of 2 inches (4cm) max! As I said, perhaps you know more about categories than I do - maybe if one in a list of 500 plants is a tree then it's okay to include all in a list of trees. Seems strange to me though. Gderrin ( talk) 08:16, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, you have been adding categories such as Category:Taxa named by John Torrey, Category:Taxa named by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle when that is not considered to be the case in botanical nomenclature. For example, Purshia DC. ex Poir. was named by Poiret in 1816, and although De Candolle named it again in an 1818 publication, his name is illegitimate. There was an earlier manuscript of De Candolle's which Poiret used as a basis, but that is not a validly published name. Purshia stansburyana (Torr.) Henrickson was called Cowania stansburyana by John Torrey. In zoology there is a pattern similar to what you have done, that the person who first gave a name, any name, to a taxon, is listed ever after, even if they blundered badly on the taxonomy, but that is not how botanical nomenclature works. If the species name is wrong, then the taxon assignment is wrong, so it cannot be said that the person named the taxon. Sminthopsis84 ( talk) 12:39, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I have recently started a new WikiProject and am trying to recruit new members. The project, WikiProject Wildfire, focuses on articles that relate to wildfires. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. From updating templates, to classifying and improving articles. Any level of commitment is welcome! If you care to just add some input on the founding of the new project, awesome. If you would like to take an active role in editing articles, that is awesome as well! Knowledge of wildfires is NOT a prerequisite for joining the project. In fact, it would be great to have some members of the project who are NOT fire-buffs. That way we make sure that articles aren't just written by and for people in the fire community. If this is something you have any interest in, I would love to have you join the project! Please feel free to join the discussion or leave me a message on my talk page. (Note that you are receiving this message from me because I saw you made multiple edits on a wildfire related page, specifically Old Fire. Not just spamming you at random.) Hope you have a great day!

Please stop trying to use an undated LA Times map to force Cal State LA's location as El Sereno into its article. The map appears to be old, it's inaccurate, it doesn't agree with the Cal State LA website (El Sereno is north of Valley Blvd.) and Cal State LA isn't marked on it. You're too experienced an editor not to be sufficiently well versed in WP:RS and to know how iffy a map that vague and with no date is going to be. Moreover, community/neighborhood designations change; University Hills took its name from the presence of the university in the neighborhood.

Hi. I see you've been working on category pages. Please note that Wikipedia:Categorization#Creating category pages advises that in most cases, category pages need only be appropriately categorised and don't need to have textual content. Only in cases where the scope of the category isn't clear from the title should a description be added: "The category description should make direct statements about the criteria by which pages should be selected for inclusion in (or exclusion from) the category." Also, the guideline suggests, "The description can also contain links to other Wikipedia pages, in particular to other related categories which do not appear directly as subcategories or parent categories, and to relevant categories at sister projects, such as Commons." It does not recommend adding a lot of contextual links to articles. Those should be done in article lead sections, not category description pages. Navbox templates are also appropriately placed on article and not category description pages. Thanks. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 22:39, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, my friend. I know, totally know, you are here to help build this encyclopedia. You have made 173,817 edits! Thank you! You are appreciated. I want you to make another 173,817 edits but worry a little.
I see from your talk archives that you sometimes do things the way you think is right even when others object. You may be right. But you know how it is here. Even when you are right, if a bunch of others object, you simply must abide by community wishes. That is a good thing, right? I want to replace the top-left Wikipedia globe in all articles with a picture of meerkats, but the community (including you, probably) disagrees. Are they and you wrong? Yes! Obviously! But I have to listen to you. Your voice matters.

An edit summary is a brief explanation of an to a Wikipedia page. When you edit a page, there is a small text entry field labeled Edit summary located under the main edit box and above the Save page button:

Hi there. I've seen many of your category edits over a number of months. There are some features of the edits that I see recurring, the purpose of which I'm really not sure of, so I thought I'd ask. The easiest way to ask about some of these might be through an example, so I've just chosen this edit more or less at random because it has some of the features I am wondering about:
I appreciate that the reason for these types of edits might be because you subjectively feel that it just looks good. If that's the case, I would suggest that maybe we need to remember that what looks good on Wikipedia on the monitor/device that we use to access the website may not look very good at all when others access the same content on their monitor or device. In particular, I have noticed that the excessive indention can cause problems when users access content on the mobile Wikipedia site. Or maybe there's another reason for these types of edits? I don't know, so I just thought I'd ask. – Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:45, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Our friend, Look2See1 took a break 29 December 2016. I posted at his talk then and asked him to please follow community wishes. It was ignored then auto-archived. He resumed editing 27 January 2017. He has been busy.

Ignoring our discussions is an annoyance, and so is not using edit summaries. However, I see him as an easy net positive. I hope nobody is in a hurry to block him.

Hi, Look2See1. I see that you're adding templates like {{ Nearctic temperate coniferous forests}} to various articles, to serve as navigation boxes. But, those templates were not designed to be navboxes: they were designed to be tables that were to be transcluded into various articles. That's why they don't collapse.
I'm happy to convert them into proper navboxes, but that may be controversial. Could you hold off on adding those to articles until I successfully get them converted? Keep an eye on the template edit history and talk pages. Thanks! — hike395 ( talk) 16:46, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! May I ask why you are inserting navigational templates to unrelated articles ( example)? Navboxes normally should include links to articles in which they are placed (see WP:BIDIRECTIONAL), but that, of course, is normally on the condition that those articles belong in the navbox in the first place. The scope of the "Administrative divisions" navboxes is to cover, well, administrative divisions, yet you are placing these boxes in articles about physical geography features and nature reserves, which makes no sense. Could you please elaborate what you are doing? Thanks.— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); December 27, 2016; 16:39 (UTC)

The extra spaces I removed from the category are not needed. Do not add extra or malformed formatting structure to categories.-- Kev min § 01:01, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Categories with names of the form "Taxon genera" are meant to be used for articles about the genus (or redirects at the genus name where the article is at the English name or the species name). They should not be used for taxonomic categories named after the taxon, since this means that articles about species end up in the "Taxon genera" category. So for example currently there's the hierarchy:
The last of these correctly says "This category is for articles on each of the genera in the family Cactaceae." So starting from Category:Cactaceae genera and working down the category hierarchy you should find Acanthocereus, because this is a genus. You should not find Acanthocereus tetragonus, because this is not a genus.
The category hierarchies should run:
This is explained at Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants/Categorization#Taxonomic rank categories. "Taxon genera" categories are set categories, designed to include sets and subsets of genera articles. Even if they were topic categories, it would be wrong to find an article about a cactus species ultimately in a category called "Cactaceae genera".

Hello. Thank you for
your contributions to
Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled " Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting
Preferences →
Editing →
Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Thanks!
Hi I apologise for using a template message above on an experienced user, but you have been around a few years now and should really be using edit summaries the majority to all of the time. As you are making 100's edits per day, whilst I am sure are all in good faith, it just is a great help to other uses to get an idea of the purpose of your edits.

Thanks for updating the Autocar Company page. Suggestion: Move it from Companies founded in 1899 to 1897. It was founded 10/21/1897. http://autocartruck.com/about#history :) Sedimentary ( talk) 13:30, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Or in fact any athlete who plays for a city's sports teams is not automatically from that city. That is a long held consensus. Notable people sections of city article per consensus are for people who lived in or born in Foo. Not worked, died, gone to school etc. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:05, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
Vignola is a city in the Province of Modena, but NOT in the city of Modena. Matthew_hk t c 14:13, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Please stop your mis-categorization . Xining and Xinjiang is two thing. Matthew_hk t c 14:59, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I see you are adding "design companies" categories to the art galleries categories, e.g. here. In general, art galleries are not design companies and the category seems incorrect (occasionally, an individual art gallery may be a design company, in which case an appropriate category can be added to the individual article of course). Can you please undo these edits? Fram ( talk) 07:24, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Art galleries are not retail companies either like you edited a page found here [9]. Could you please so down your categorization edits and go back and correct the ones you did wrong like requested above. The complaints are piling up on this talk page and it may become necessary for a community discussion about your edits and possibly restricting your categorizing pages. You do good work but you are also making too many problematic edits that need fixing. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
I see you're editing again. Are you planning to undo the edits that Fram asked you above to do? If you're not, an WP:ANI thread may have to be started. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 21:26, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
As I understand it in the US the word School is used in a very broad sense to include Universities, but that is not the case in the UK. So Universities do not belong in the Category "Schools in Manchester". Perhaps the category needs to be broader, like Educational Institutions in Manchester.

Hello, and thanks for your contributions. Echoing previous requests by other editors, I would ask that you adopt the habit of using edit summaries. Doing so makes it easier for your colleagues here to understand the intention of your edits, and saves us time. Thanks in advance for considering this. Eric talk 02:14, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
