Hi there! I've seen you have been a long-time constructive user among wide areas of Wikipedia. The mop crew could always use the help of a dedicated and interested editor. As such, would you be interested in being nominated for adminship? ( Radiant) 16:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I've been watching this article since its creation with the same exact worry. I've been unable to locate any of the names, places, or astronomical bodies mentioned in this article. This is despite searching google, google books, Web of Knowledge, JSTOR, etc... (essentially every relevant academic database I have access to). I didn't want to bite this newbie by tagging the article too soon, but I'm going to bring it to afd if some complete references aren't provided soon. I'm relieved you think this is a hoax; I was afraid RC patrol had made me paranoid. Cheers, shotwell 17:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
Why did you remove "binomial_authority =
Sowerby,
1833" from this article ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Gooseneck_barnacle&diff=82437492&oldid=77019900
Is this an error ? For french Wikipédia, I'm searching for "which Sowerby" described this species.

Thank you for the links. But I don't find who described Pollicipes polymerus, just sources with : "Sowerby 1833". Do you confirm it's George Brettingham Sowerby I ? -- [[User:El Caro - WP:fr user|El Caro]] 20:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
You seem to have gone in and changed all the Ken MacLeod cats to Macleod. Why? He spells it with the capital L, as his own webpage will testify: http://kenmacleod.blogspot.com/ -- Orange Mike 14:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The surplus shark categories will be removed by bot soon, & the job will rely on the "Sharks" cat being there. You were right in removing the cat, but maybe just leave others (there are 100s) for a while. Thanks GrahamBould 08:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Bore Dda. I see that you have reversed the spelling of Carnedd Llywelyn to Carnedd Llewelyn on the page with that name. Whats in a name? Here in Eryri, where I live, names carry a great significance and though our bards take liberties with words and make puns in a time honoured and highly complex way, we try to get the spelling of names correct whenever we can. Carnedd Llywelyn has been incorrectly entered on modern OS maps as Carnedd Llewelyn, and until the O.S. reprint, unfortunately that is the way that it appears. LLEW means Lion in English. LLYW means Leader. Tyysog Llywelyn, Prince of Wales (killed 11 December 1282)is remembered among his people as 'Ein Llyw Olaf', Our Last Leader. He lived nearby at Garth Celyn, at the entrance to the Aber valley. His name was Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, and the mountain, very significantly, is named in his honour, to his memory. Here in the heart of Welsh Wales the landscape keeps faith with memory.
Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, Snowdonia National Park Authority, use the correct spelling, Carnedd Llywelyn (see their website). The Royal Commission on Ancient Monuments, Wales use Carnedd Llywelyn (see 'Caernarvonshire Vol. 1, East, page151, entry 552, Carnedd Llywelyn. Enwau Eryri, Iwan Arfon Jones (ISBN: 0 86243 374 6) uses Carnedd Llywelyn The Mountains of Wales, Ioan Bowen Rees ( ISBN 0-7083-1163-6) uses Carnedd Llywelyn The name is spelt correctly in countless numbers of books and articles written by local people, as it is in documents in UCNW, Bangor, Archives and elsewhere.
So where do we go from here? By far the majority of people who use Wikipedia will not have an OS map. Many people, interested in the mountains of Snowdonia, for what ever reason, do know of Snowdonia National Park and might check out the Park's website. A title to the Wikipedia page with both spellings, might resolve the issue for the present. My own preference would be to retitle the page Carnedd Llywelyn, and have a link to the alternative spelling. However, all the text on the page surely must contain own our local and recognised spelling of the name. BrynLlywelyn 11:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

You say that internal capitalization messes stuff up. While I think it's possible, I'm rather familiar with collation sort orders (I actually enjoy learning about partial orders...), and I don't quite understand. I didn't revert your change beacuse I think you probably know what's going on here better than I do, so I would like some schooling on the subject (If you're willing to teach).

I apologize for any inconvenience i may have caused. I was under the impression that it was common for the next level of taxonomy to just be included, rather than seperated. In truth, it is acually more confusing to have them seperated without a clear reason why to the common layperson. I recognized Chordata along with some others but a few were unknown to me and i thought that they were all just mistakenly put there, the spaces being accidental. I've seen the convention to use an asterisk before to denote a special group, but never just a space. Is this a convention that the relevant wikiproject proposed or one that i missed when reveiwing the category conventions?

Hi Stemonitis,
I have just nominated for deletion a recently created article, rock mites, which is a suspected hoax ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rock mites). It has been edited by 3 different users, all of which have only ever edited this article: Ian pizza ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Abbyratsolee ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and the creator of the article, Herbert101 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I'm not sure what the procedure is for dealing with users creating hoaxes, but I thought that being an admin you could possibly help in this domain. Cheers! Iron C hris | (talk) 21:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Stemonitis, after Trebor's coment, I'm here to ask you to grade the C. rhipheus article. (See Wikipedia:Peer review/Chrysiridia rhipheus/archive1). Thank you in advance. Pro bug catcher 02:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I started this article specifically to populate the Flora of Connecticut category. It may be widespread, but I am trying to define all of the flora and fauna (and thus have something to write about in the articles proper) by populating their respective categories. I do not see what harm it does to include this category tag, and there are plenty of other articles with many, many categories listed. I believe the same principles apply to Caltha palustris. -- StAkAr Karnak 14:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for responding with such practical suggestions. Best regards. -- StAkAr Karnak 19:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello,
The only reason that I included multiple links is that the site's webmaster screwed up all the links on the site, and didn't include the domain name, so a user gets 404's. If you include the domain name, they work. Maybe the NWO was 'controlling his mind' and made him do it! LOL! - Fairness And Accuracy For All 07:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I have just contacted him because I hope he agrees on having this article about himself on Wikipedia. I realise I got carried away and I should have asked him first. In case he disagrees, can this article be scrapped for good - with no one being able to edit it back? I see you're an administrator, that's why I'm asking (and you're familiar with the page apparently). I am a bit worried. However, until I get a response from him, I don't think we should do anything about the page... Zigzig20s 23:04, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
