Please stop introducing jokes into articles, such as those you created at
Croatan High School. Wikipedia is a serious
encyclopedia, and contributions of this type are considered
vandalism. Continuing to add jokes and other disruptive content into articles may lead to your being
blocked from editing. Any future incidents of this nature and you will be dropped from the AP Biology Project/ J. Butler

Reverting "bad edits" is a boring; yet necessary task on Wikipedia. The fact that you still watch your article and (based on a recent edit by you) are willing to take the time to revert any damages is very responsible. This is worthy of noting when you negotiate your grade in May. Cheers -- JimmyButler ( talk) 03:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting my misspelling. Did you really want to know? Wikipedia has a fairly good description of carapace. And I found one for carapache also. Would they be pronounced the same? -- Ettrig ( talk) 17:17, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Late in the game I know but at least its still in the game. I found this immensely long PDF on what seems to be everything about this turtle.

Yet another arises from the ashes! Excellent collaboration - delighted to see your efforts rewarded with a GA on the loggerhead -- JimmyButler ( talk) 19:01, 24 May 2010 (UTC) |
That's why you got the A. For the Bowen ref. I used it three times. The first two came from page 3731; while the last cite was from 3733. Can you clean it so the page numbers are included in the cite? Proof as well - was trying to elaborate on what was essentially already there. There is also an excellent map explaining that migratory route. There is an option of locating a map of the pacific basin and essentially duplicate the info. Great example of challenges to conservation when different regions regulate protection of different stages of life cycle. -- JimmyButler ( talk) 01:29, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Can you give a ref. under predation (end of paragraph about raccoons) using this source (page 62) [ [1]]?-- JimmyButler ( talk) 17:24, 28 May 2010 (UTC)'
JimBleaks is almost a supporter! He commented on a few additional concerns. He says that there is a huge blank space before the distribution map on his browser. I was wondering if you had this problem and if you knew how to fix it.
Also, there is information about the subspecies that states they are genetically different in the Spotila book. Maybe you can offer a better interpretation, but for me it is hard to make it seem substantial. Here is the wording from the book: "Mitochondrial DNA has also been a useful tool for understanding the relationships among nesting populations within regions. During the most recent glacial period in North America, the beaches of northern Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina were too cold for sea turtle eggs to survive and develop. About 12,000 years ago the climate began to warm and loggerheads started to move north and colonize those northern beaches. thus the females nesting from northern Florida to North Carolina belong to a different genetic population than those nesting in the rest of Florida. In fact, those turtles are a unique demographic (population) unit. If one of those colonies is lost it is not likely to be replaced in our lifetimes."
If you can find a way to incorporate this please do so.-- TimHAllstr ( talk) 14:19, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello, my name is Marissa and I am now a part of Mr. Butler's wikipedia project. I have heard you have been helpful to other students and that your articles were very well done. I was just wondering if you have any suggestions for me on how to tackle this project. I was also wondering if a case came up that I needed help, that you might be able to guide me in the right direction(with problems in formatting, coding, etc.) Any help or suggestions you have to offer me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Marissa927 ( talk) 01:32, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Vance, When we were sophomores and you were taking the challenge AP Biology, I envied you and looked up to you. I admired your dedication and effort(although at times your devotion to the labour of AP Bio made you a less fun person). At the time when you were suffering under the whip of Mr. Butler, I was in the classroom of Mr. Coffey learning a basic understanding of chemistry. And that's what I see between you and me: chemistry. I consider you a bro, as well as a breh and a bruah and a brēah (depending on the season and level of deixis), but in this challenge that it has come my time to undertake, I humbly submit myself to you as an apprentice, a disciple, and your humble servant. Teach me the path to WikiEnlightenment and I will be forever in your debt. Der Elbenkoenig ( talk) 05:49, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Vance, I notice that the Loggerhead had 19 000 page views in November. You have readers! I think it should be shown on the front page soon. -- Ettrig ( talk) 22:33, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
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...)

Hi. In the list of pages tagged for deletion I came across one named "Wikipedia:Vancemiller/sandbox". I have moved it to User:Vancemiller/sandbox which I guess is where you meant it to be. It looks like a draft for your user page: if you have finished with it, just put {{ db-user}} at the top and it will be deleted. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 10:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
