Thanks for that fix; I had noticed but was too lazy to fix it, so I'm glad you did. Thanks! Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 21:19, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the grammar help and fixing of general typo's, it's embarrassing going back and reading all the little things I did wrong. Thanks for the help.-- Krustev LeMont ( talk) 16:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your comment and support at my recent successful RFA and ath the previous. Being now the new fellow in the fraternity of administrators, I will do my best to live up to the confidence shown in me by others, will move slowly and carefully when using the mop, will seek input from others before any action of which I might be unsure, and will try not to break anything beyond repair.

Hi! I saw your minor edit to this article on a subject that interests me and I was wondering if you had the time, could you help me try and improve it a little more over the next few months? It's an interesting topic as are most of the marsupial mammals still living or recently extinct, geologically speaking. I was originally attracted to the article as one of the "rational skeptic" members of WikiProject Paranormal and WikiProject Cryptozoology. I thought my background in science and experience working as a Folklorist gathering folklore accounts from primary sources might be of some use to the article and others like it. I'm not as active an editor as I once was but seeing a new face pop up on my watchlist on an article I'd moved on from gave me a little smile. I extend a wiki-welcome to you and wanted to let you know I had an interest in this article or any articles on the animals in the family Thylacinidae or the classes (or infraclasses) of Dasyuromorphia and Marsupial. Since my experience in Archeology was often spent looking at the effects of disease on populations (of both humans and diseases of animals as they affected human populations), I try to keep abreast of new developments in areas such as Devil facial tumour disease and while unrelated, having just as much of a devestating effect, White nose syndrome in bats, due to my personal interest in bats as pollinators. Anyway - I just wanted to poke my head up and say "Hello fellow editor!" and offer you a wiki-cookie for inspiring me to look back at some articles I have long left behind me!

This is a note to let the main editors of loggerhead sea turtle know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 4, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 4, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
The loggerhead sea turtle is an oceanic turtle distributed throughout the world. An adult weighs around 135 kilograms (298 lb), with the largest specimens weighing in at more than 454 kilograms (1,001 lb). The skin ranges from yellow to brown in color, and the shell is typically reddish-brown. Found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea, the loggerhead sea turtle spends most of its life in saltwater and estuarine habitats, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. The loggerhead sea turtle has a low reproductive rate and a lifespan of 47–67 years. Omnivorous, the species feeds mainly on bottom dwelling invertebrates. Its large and powerful jaws serve as an effective tool in dismantling its prey. Loggerheads are considered an endangered species and are protected by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Turtle excluder devices (TEDs) have been implemented in efforts to reduce mortality by providing the turtle an escape route. Loss of suitable nesting beaches and the introduction of exotic predators has also taken a toll on loggerhead populations. Efforts to restore their numbers will require international cooperation since the turtles roam vast areas of ocean and critical nesting beaches are scattered among several countries. ( more...)

Hello. If you remember, I was the student working on the Spotted Eagle Ray article. I have just a few questions. My teacher said he may open up the second semester for extra credit. I wanted to pick up the Spotted Eagle Ray again, but I really don't think it has the FA potential that some other articles do. I have been considering joining the Sand Tiger Shark article. I was wondering what your opinion on the spotted eagle ray was. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marissa927 ( talk • contribs) 17:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Hey SunCreator, It's been a while since I last edited Wikipedia, but my teacher has offered extra credit to work on it and I really enjoyed working on it last semester. I was wondering, do you think that the quoll has potential for featured article? If it does, I am thinking about continuing my research on it. But if you don't think it does, I will move on to another topic. Thanks! -- Savetheoceans ( talk) 17:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for editing the Lined seahorse article. I just completed the introduction this morning. How do you think the article looks as of right now? I appreciate your help. LittleCass 14:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlecass ( talk • contribs)
Hi. When you recently edited Mutation breeding, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page YMC ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, many thanks for highlighting the Asmane Gnégné article to me at my RFA - I have now gone back to add a few more sources, as well as an infobox. Regards, Giant Snowman 09:32, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
There is a long standing split tag on this page placed by you. I am trying to clear up the backlog of split tags like this. Unfortunately, I cannot work out what you want otherwise I would have made the split. Would you be willing to make the split? Op47 ( talk) 14:28, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
You participated in a related discussion before. The current one is here. Japinderum ( talk) 11:52, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. - Mabeenot ( talk) 23:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

You ever consider that it would take less time for you to google a source, than to add a deletion tag, and that would be more in the communitarian ethos of Wikipedia? Hmmm? The guy has at least 500 news articles in print referencing him; I'm intentionally pointing out how narrow Wikipedia's subject matter is. KenThomas ( talk) 02:17, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
