My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, But I wanted to thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.-- MONGO 19:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
The orange flower is either a Hibiscus or a member of a related genus (it reminds me a little of Kosteletzkya); I'd guess a member of Hibiscus section Bombicella, but with 300 species of Hibiscus identifying a particular plant is a non-trivial task. If it was photographed in the wild the locality would help identification. Lavateraguy ( talk) 11:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
If it's from India I would go for Hibiscus hirtus. It's obviously malvaceous (stamens fused into a narrow tube). The capitate stigmas mean that it's not a member of Gossypieae, and the presence of an epicalyx that it's not a member of Abutilinae. Most Malvinae have three bracteoles (your plant has a least half-a-dozen), and the exceptions have more than five, and filiform, stigmas. That leaves Hibisceae, and not Pavonia and allies (ten stigmas), nor Decaschistia, nor Senra. Most of the other related genera are absent from India. A spreading corolla is right for Hibiscus hirtus, and flowers less than 2 inches in diameter is if anything too large - Hooker's Flora of British India says 1/2", but Drury's Handbook of the Indian Flora says middle sized. The flowers are variously described as white, pink and scarlet. Hibiscus micranthus is similar, and may not be specifically distinct. Lavateraguy ( talk) 15:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
See Bombicella Gallery Lavateraguy ( talk) 15:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
If you have one near you, see if you can take photos at a botanical garden (see List of botanical gardens) or somewhere else where someone who (presumably) knows what they are doing has made the identification already. I'm a little scared of almost-right identifications (who can really tell all the different species of Nicotiana from each other just based on a photo, for example?). But nice pictures (I especially liked the red berry one, for the lighting and composition). Kingdon ( talk) 21:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't think that the blue flower is fabaceous, but I doubt that I could place it with any confidence even if more details were visible. My guess would be Solanaceae or some other Lamiid family. If it is fabaceous I'd suspect something basal in the family, rather than a member of Papilionaceae. Lavateraguy ( talk) 23:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I spotted Image:Gram-negative_cellwall-schematic.png and Image:Centriole3D.png, and just wanted to say how much I like them. The transparency in your centriole image works very nicely. You seem to be very skillful in using Inkscape. Do you still have the SVG versions of the images because if you wouldn't mind I would like to see the SVG components and how they are composited? Might you consider uploading the SVG versions as replacements for the PNG? The PNG images versions aren't scaling down very nicely, at least not on my low-res. display, whereas SVG usually does. Perhaps you could reply here to keep the thread of conversation in one place? Thanks, - Neparis ( talk) 00:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
No, I did not upload the SVG versions of the cell wall images because I found that they too have the same problem when opened in Firefox. I used Inkscape 0.45. And yes, the centriole SVG image is smaller than the PNG but it's the other way round for the cell wall images... I guess the SVG size increases much more with increase in image complexity; the Gram negative-cell wall image has 6294 elements and the Inkscape SVG file size is ~6.5 MB whereas the PNG is only 815 KB.- Two Oars 03:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
<- ok, thanks Neparis. I think User:Jeff Dahl has given some sensible suggestions at Graphic_Lab/Images_to_improve. Let's see if that helps. :) - Two Oars 12:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I just noticed your request for photo IDS at the plant project page. The red fruit belongs to something in the genus Capsicum, which includes bell peppers and hot peppers. That one appears to be one of the newer ornamental varieties that's gaining in popularity. The orange flower is in the family Malvaceae and is almost definitely in the genus Hibiscus, but as these are very popular ornamentals, IDing it any further than that would be impossible from a photo (and with my limited knowledge). Hope that helps! DJLayton4 ( talk) 02:39, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I just now noticed that someone already posted on this more extensively. Sorry about that... DJLayton4 ( talk) 02:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the Centriole3D image. How accurate are the dimensions as I would like to refer to it for an art project? Mark Markkrom ( talk) 10:04, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I need help from an experienced Wikipedian, and I saw your name over at WP:ADOPT.
I need your advice concerning WP:WPOOK, which I've been coordinating. The set of pages the project concerns is listed at Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Outline of knowledge#Projected outline, and has grown to about 500 articles in the encyclopedia.
The goals of the WikiProject are:
I was hoping you could comment on how to achieve the goals above.
Also I'm interested in every possible way of reaching readers and editors of Wikipedia. How can I get the most eyes and typing fingers on Wikipedia's outlines? Contacting editors directly without a reason relevant to them is spam, which I'd like to avoid. There are 75,000 regular editors on Wikipedia, and I want to contact all of them. So how do I do it? Directly or indirectly, I don't care which, piecemeal or all-at-once, all methods are fine with me. But I've got to find ways. I need your help.
I would also like to know how to find or attract editors to create new outlines. And I need advice on finding editors to help write the new outline article mentioned above (it needs to be fleshed out, completely referenced, and brought to featured article status).
Can you recommend anyone in particular who might be interested in sinking their teeth into a project like this? Or ways to reach groups of editors? Or ways to reach all editors? I welcome any and all advice you might have.
I look forward to your reply on my talk page.
