Nice work; I've made a few mainly grammatical changes (converting to third person, etc), but also changed Catesby's publication date to 1731, the date it was first published - I presume '1930' was an error, or did you have other reasons for that date? - MPF 11:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
The wording is really awkward, independent of it being a paraphrase. As a summary, perhaps it would be best to say it first, and then give the reference, rather than the other way around as you have done. (I'm glad you're taking the time to shake things up on the article, though. I've wanted to, but haven't had the time.)-- Curtis Clark 02:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Following Berton's note, I saw Stearn's Botanical Latin on Amazon.com, but should point out that Timber Press are not the publishers, just licensed distributors, with the original publisher being David & Charles (as per my note on Berton's talk page, or here) - MPF 15:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
As you have noticed I engaged in the translation of your entry on Magnol into Russian. I've got some questions and thoughts emerged as the tanslation is in progress. May I hope that you would not find it a burden to answer them here (I put this page on my watchlist for a while).
The first question is: in Pierre_Magnol#career you state: "Magnol was one of the founding members of the Société Royale des Sciences de Montpellier (1706) and held one of the three chairs in botany." Does it mean that these chairs were within the Société Royale des Sciences de Montpellier (which seems plausble if it only was modelled after the Academie Royale)? Or this pertains to his position within the University? I find the latter option quite unlikely, though I better ask. Quite unfortunately I do not have the sources you cite at hand, so I have to rely on your text only, and my English is not perfect enough to understand the subtle nuances.
I'll post some more questions as I formulate them. Tank you in advance for your consideration. Alexei Kouprianov 08:51, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Wikiklaas - MrDarwin just asked me almost exactly the same; here's my reply - such links are not outright banned, but they're not generally considered desirable; particularly not when the same user adds the same or related ext links to lots of pages without adding anything else, i.e., spamming. Generally ext links are best added only when they provide reference to something cited in the text of the page (which yahoo discussion groups don't). There are more detailed guidelines at Wikipedia:External links and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files.
Also worth adding, yahoo.com is a commercial site, supported by advertising (I'm in some yahoo groups myself, so know what they're like!), and groups postings are full of opinions, so Wikipedia:External links#Links to normally avoid items #1 and #5 are relevant - MPF 15:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I see you have been active with the entry "nomenclature". This is very unfortunate. By this time I had all the really bad errors out and I am not happy to see them reappear. Could you indicate what you are trying to achieve? Brya 15:49, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
As a follow-up of our discussion on Magnol I tried to create the Template:Pre-Linnaean botanist. Shouldn't we try applying it whenever possible? Or is it too bold? Alexei Kouprianov 21:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Wikiklaas,
Would you ever be willing to consider writing brief descriptive summaries into the sections, subsections (and for the subgenus Gynopodium) of the selected species portion of the article Magnolia? They are needed, in my opinion, because while two subgenera have summaries, neither the sections, nor subsections have one. I would do them myself if I knew enough about the subjects to add them, but I am not at all knowledgable in this regard. You seem to be quite knowledgable about the Magnolia genus, and to me, you write in quite a readable style, and take care to be both accurate and concise. I'm sure there are many others at WP that are quite capable of doing this justice; I just happened to notice your mild admonishment to the anonymous user (75.100.81.162) at Talk:Magnolia and thought if you ever had the time and inclination, you could write them beautifully.
In case you ever do (and also to demonstrate how much there is lacking), here is the list that's on the page, and for the two subgenera that already have such a summary, what is written there:
Genus Magnolia
Subgenus Magnolia
" Anthers open by splitting at the front facing the centre of the flower. Deciduous or evergreen. Flowers produced after the leaves. "
Section Magnolia
Section Gwillimia

To the English readers: the following discussion was initiated by a user who abused his rights on the Dutch language Wikipedia and was blocked for vandalism using sockpuppets there on three consecutive occasions but still refused to learn from it. He is since permanently blocked on the Dutch language version and now claims to be a happy user of the English project. He was still unable however to contain his urge to vandalise the project and alreay did the same on the English Wikipedia, calling someone "a gay prick", with no reason to do so at all.

Dear Wikiklaas,
I have commenced a case against you at the Dutch arbitragecommissie as a result from your personal attacks (a violation of this page) on the Dutch Wikipedia. As I wrote in my letter against the commission, I hope we will able to solve this conflict without the need of the commission. I also asked the commission to be reluctant with blockages against you, as I don't doubt your best meanings stated at this page.
Yours faithfully,
Borvo ( talk) 10:59, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
From a quick perusal it seems to me that Borvo is here mostly to continue the spat you all had on the Dutch wiki, and that's not OK. I propose the following: you stay away from each other. You don't comment on each other or mention each other, you don't go to each other's talk pages, you don't follow each other to articles or article talk pages. Simple. I could ask for this to be enforced on our Administrators Noticeboard ( WP:AN), but I trust I don't have to.
One more thing: Borvo, being blocked on the Dutch wiki doesn't necessarily mean anything for you here, though it may invite scrutiny. You are more than welcome to work here--but only if you stay away from Wikiklaas and if you--well, this should be obvious--don't resort to socking. Met vriendelijke groet, aan jullie allebei, Drmies ( talk) 17:05, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
So, do you claim to be the "owner" of this particular Wikipedia page, and refuse postings by people on the basis of your perception of their identity? There are Wikipedia policies against that sort of censorship, and I would be happy to refer you to WP admins who can personally vouch for both my identity AND my position as an ICZN Commissioner AND about policies like WP: OWN. I gave a correct and appropriate citation, directly from the Code itself, which states the appropriate treatment for cases such as Linnaeus'. If your counter-claim is to enforce WP: NOR, it is not "original research"; you will not find an ICZN ruling on the case of Homo sapiens because it is not necessary for anyone to publish an opinion for something which the Code already covers. Stearns' lectotype designation is not valid, never has been, and it does not require any formal published refutation to establish this - that one reason we HAVE a Code of Nomenclature in the first place - so the literature does not become cluttered with claims and counter-claims. Just because Stearns' work was published and you can cite it does not mean it has any nomenclatural merit - the way nomenclature's rules operate are not the same as Wikipedia's, so I'm respectfully asking you to bear that in mind and allow the edit to stand - because claiming that Linnaeus is a lectotype is MISINFORMING THE PUBLIC. My job as a Commissioner is to FIGHT misinformation about nomenclature, not endorse it, and I would hope that you can understand that. Sincerely Dyanega ( talk) 23:18, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Wikiklaas. Thank you for taking an interest in our article
Circulation (fluid dynamics). On 22 Nov 2015 you made
this edit to the article, inserting the term L in the right side of the equation. I have erased this term for the following reasons. It is unclear whether you intended L to be lift or length of span. Either way, it did not match the equation presented in the cited source, Kuethe and Schetzer.
In the main article,
Kutta-Joukowski theorem, this equation is presented as:
In this format, L' means lift per unit span. There are only three terms on the right side of the equation - density ρ, speed V and circulation Γ. Happy editing! Dolphin ( t) 06:25, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Wikiklaas .why have you reverted my entry on Topal Osman? Who are you to determine notability of a topic? Who are you to determine whether a source is impartial or not?The sources are Turkish and /or Laz so i do not think you are a better arbiter than they are? Furthermore, much of it is from information gathered at the time so i do not think you are in a better position to argue. Are you also operating from ip address 85. Blah blah from the Netherlands who reverted my entry many times Or associated with Turkish nationalists in any way? If so, please declare your position.
I expect my entry to be put back by you as soon as possible or i shall take it further with wiki higher up than you. Regards
Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 14:06, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Wikiklaas .you fail to mention why you did not remove the entry regarding Topal Osman and ergenekon which was not properly referenced .where is your zeal regarding that? Furthermore ,you said to read Five pillars.I have , and i would still think that someones ethnic origin in the multi -ethnic ottoman empire is relevant and notable.
I know i have made mistakes and i will.However i have tried to let everyone know what has been hapenning via the appropriate channels from day one.if i used wrong protocol well i am learning aren't I. Rather than attributing motives to me ,cast a little light on yourself.I see no chastising of the anonymous user who removed my entries with no reason,then said it was due to references yet left the ergenekon entry in by someone else regardless. I asked for help and they smuggly declined.
Also everyone i have ever met say i have a superior command of the English language. You do not have a monopoly on that.
So to end you have not given me sufficient reasons why my entries are not notable, nor why arish attack is not allowed nor why you have removed lynx places names because somehow you reached the decision it is Balkan politics.As for cat article i will respond another day.
Yes i am after truth and yes i do believe it should able to be checked so rather than trawling my articles maybe you should worry about whether my entries were truthful or not.
I still do expect you to put my entries back in within next few days or i will take it further. Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 14:56, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Wikiklaas.You are really starting to annoy me.You have removed references to the animal being associated with the name of places and have decided to leave a name that is not officially known to the UN. What are you afraid of? Am i right about the name known in UN?If so,why have you not left it in?
Once again,I expect you to fix it yourself or i will take it further with wiki .
You have proven to be very disheartening to a new editor .
Regards, Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 14:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Removing names of places named after the Lynx have nothing to do with politics.
Please put them back in and stop attributing motives about why i added the entry.I happen to like animals and lynxs in particular,thank you very much!
As for name of Fyrom ,why should it not be correct in every article of wikipedia where it is mentioned.After all, if they want constitutional name they can look it up in detailed article on the country,like you say right?
Stop attributing motives to me about my edits or i will then kindly return the favor.
Please put my edits back in next few days or i will take it further. Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 15:04, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. I'm a Commissioner of the ICZN, and an error in the article on the genus Mosasaurus was brought to my attention today. There was a comment and citation that you had inserted back in June of 2011 that incorrectly claimed that original spellings MUST be preserved under ICZN Article 31, but in the 2000 Edition of the Code, Article 33.3.1 was introduced, which supercedes Article 31 in any case where an incorrect subsequent spelling (e.g., hoffmanni rather than hoffmannii) is in prevailing usage. Explicitly, the Code states: "33.3.1. when an incorrect subsequent spelling is in prevailing usage and is attributed to the publication of the original spelling, the subsequent spelling and attribution are to be preserved and the spelling is deemed to be a correct original spelling. Example. The specific name in Trypanosoma brucii Plummer & Bradford, 1899 is in prevailing usage but is spelled brucei; brucei is deemed to be correct and its use is to be maintained." Prior to the 2000 Edition of the Code, you would actually have been correct to claim the name should be hoffmannii (assuming that is how Martell actually spelled it - I cannot confirm this because the full reference is nowhere available online), but after 1999, prevailing usage overrules priority. The Commission made this change explicitly to stop people from resurrecting forgotten spellings when they got their hands on ancient papers and found that the original spelling was not the same as what everyone was familiar with. Now, the familiar name is the one the ICZN insists MUST be preserved, and the original spelling is forever thereafter prohibited, so anyone who published the spelling hoffmannii after 1999 did so in direct violation of the Code. Note also that Article 33.4 specifically discusses "-i" versus "-ii" endings, but is likewise superceded by 33.3.1, as noted above. I have made the necessary changes to the page, including a link to Article 33 of the ICZN. I realize that you made that edit a long time ago, but still felt you deserved an explanation for my undoing it. Dyanega ( talk) 21:49, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Edgar Dandy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Hutchinson ( 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.

To the English readers: the following discussion was initiated by a user who abused his rights on the Dutch language Wikipedia and was blocked for vandalism using sockpuppets there on three consecutive occasions but still refused to learn from it. He is since permanently blocked on the Dutch language version and now claims to be a happy user of the English project. He was still unable however to contain his urge to vandalise the project and alreay did the same on the English Wikipedia, calling someone "a gay prick", with no reason to do so at all.

Dear Wikiklaas,
I have commenced a case against you at the Dutch arbitragecommissie as a result from your personal attacks (a violation of this page) on the Dutch Wikipedia. As I wrote in my letter against the commission, I hope we will able to solve this conflict without the need of the commission. I also asked the commission to be reluctant with blockages against you, as I don't doubt your best meanings stated at this page.
Yours faithfully,
Borvo ( talk) 10:59, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
From a quick perusal it seems to me that Borvo is here mostly to continue the spat you all had on the Dutch wiki, and that's not OK. I propose the following: you stay away from each other. You don't comment on each other or mention each other, you don't go to each other's talk pages, you don't follow each other to articles or article talk pages. Simple. I could ask for this to be enforced on our Administrators Noticeboard ( WP:AN), but I trust I don't have to.
One more thing: Borvo, being blocked on the Dutch wiki doesn't necessarily mean anything for you here, though it may invite scrutiny. You are more than welcome to work here--but only if you stay away from Wikiklaas and if you--well, this should be obvious--don't resort to socking. Met vriendelijke groet, aan jullie allebei, Drmies ( talk) 17:05, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
So, do you claim to be the "owner" of this particular Wikipedia page, and refuse postings by people on the basis of your perception of their identity? There are Wikipedia policies against that sort of censorship, and I would be happy to refer you to WP admins who can personally vouch for both my identity AND my position as an ICZN Commissioner AND about policies like WP: OWN. I gave a correct and appropriate citation, directly from the Code itself, which states the appropriate treatment for cases such as Linnaeus'. If your counter-claim is to enforce WP: NOR, it is not "original research"; you will not find an ICZN ruling on the case of Homo sapiens because it is not necessary for anyone to publish an opinion for something which the Code already covers. Stearns' lectotype designation is not valid, never has been, and it does not require any formal published refutation to establish this - that one reason we HAVE a Code of Nomenclature in the first place - so the literature does not become cluttered with claims and counter-claims. Just because Stearns' work was published and you can cite it does not mean it has any nomenclatural merit - the way nomenclature's rules operate are not the same as Wikipedia's, so I'm respectfully asking you to bear that in mind and allow the edit to stand - because claiming that Linnaeus is a lectotype is MISINFORMING THE PUBLIC. My job as a Commissioner is to FIGHT misinformation about nomenclature, not endorse it, and I would hope that you can understand that. Sincerely Dyanega ( talk) 23:18, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
When you remove interwiki links, please check that the pages you remove are on Wikidata at all. At Pholidichthys, the German Wikipedia article was not on any Wikidata items. (It's mostly unnecessary to remove links that are already on Wikidata, since bots take care of that.) — innotata 03:44, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Wikiklaas. Thank you for taking an interest in our article
Circulation (fluid dynamics). On 22 Nov 2015 you made
this edit to the article, inserting the term L in the right side of the equation. I have erased this term for the following reasons. It is unclear whether you intended L to be lift or length of span. Either way, it did not match the equation presented in the cited source, Kuethe and Schetzer.
In the main article,
Kutta-Joukowski theorem, this equation is presented as:
In this format, L' means lift per unit span. There are only three terms on the right side of the equation - density ρ, speed V and circulation Γ. Happy editing! Dolphin ( t) 06:25, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi, It was me on your dutch page. I had to be quick before MoiraMoira would again censure it. I think you need to take action what she is concerned. "ich habe es nicht gewusst" will not be an axcuse for not action and you can do it. I trust you for that. You can delete everything I wrote to you but give a signal you will act. 2A02:A03F:167D:E200:D59A:2D4F:D7B8:FCC4 ( talk) 11:04, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Wikiklaas.why have you said my entry on shore to ship attacks by ISIS in Arish are not relevant .Why can we not add modern history to this article.? Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 09:42, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Wikiklaas .why have you reverted my entry on Topal Osman? Who are you to determine notability of a topic? Who are you to determine whether a source is impartial or not?The sources are Turkish and /or Laz so i do not think you are a better arbiter than they are? Furthermore, much of it is from information gathered at the time so i do not think you are in a better position to argue. Are you also operating from ip address 85. Blah blah from the Netherlands who reverted my entry many times Or associated with Turkish nationalists in any way? If so, please declare your position.
I expect my entry to be put back by you as soon as possible or i shall take it further with wiki higher up than you. Regards
Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 14:06, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Wikiklaas .you fail to mention why you did not remove the entry regarding Topal Osman and ergenekon which was not properly referenced .where is your zeal regarding that? Furthermore ,you said to read Five pillars.I have , and i would still think that someones ethnic origin in the multi -ethnic ottoman empire is relevant and notable.
I know i have made mistakes and i will.However i have tried to let everyone know what has been hapenning via the appropriate channels from day one.if i used wrong protocol well i am learning aren't I. Rather than attributing motives to me ,cast a little light on yourself.I see no chastising of the anonymous user who removed my entries with no reason,then said it was due to references yet left the ergenekon entry in by someone else regardless. I asked for help and they smuggly declined.
Also everyone i have ever met say i have a superior command of the English language. You do not have a monopoly on that.
So to end you have not given me sufficient reasons why my entries are not notable, nor why arish attack is not allowed nor why you have removed lynx places names because somehow you reached the decision it is Balkan politics.As for cat article i will respond another day.
Yes i am after truth and yes i do believe it should able to be checked so rather than trawling my articles maybe you should worry about whether my entries were truthful or not.
I still do expect you to put my entries back in within next few days or i will take it further. Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 14:56, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Wikiklaas.You are really starting to annoy me.You have removed references to the animal being associated with the name of places and have decided to leave a name that is not officially known to the UN. What are you afraid of? Am i right about the name known in UN?If so,why have you not left it in?
Once again,I expect you to fix it yourself or i will take it further with wiki .
You have proven to be very disheartening to a new editor .
Regards, Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 14:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Removing names of places named after the Lynx have nothing to do with politics.
Please put them back in and stop attributing motives about why i added the entry.I happen to like animals and lynxs in particular,thank you very much!
As for name of Fyrom ,why should it not be correct in every article of wikipedia where it is mentioned.After all, if they want constitutional name they can look it up in detailed article on the country,like you say right?
Stop attributing motives to me about my edits or i will then kindly return the favor.
Please put my edits back in next few days or i will take it further. Veritylookingfortruth ( talk) 15:04, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. I'm a Commissioner of the ICZN, and an error in the article on the genus Mosasaurus was brought to my attention today. There was a comment and citation that you had inserted back in June of 2011 that incorrectly claimed that original spellings MUST be preserved under ICZN Article 31, but in the 2000 Edition of the Code, Article 33.3.1 was introduced, which supercedes Article 31 in any case where an incorrect subsequent spelling (e.g., hoffmanni rather than hoffmannii) is in prevailing usage. Explicitly, the Code states: "33.3.1. when an incorrect subsequent spelling is in prevailing usage and is attributed to the publication of the original spelling, the subsequent spelling and attribution are to be preserved and the spelling is deemed to be a correct original spelling. Example. The specific name in Trypanosoma brucii Plummer & Bradford, 1899 is in prevailing usage but is spelled brucei; brucei is deemed to be correct and its use is to be maintained." Prior to the 2000 Edition of the Code, you would actually have been correct to claim the name should be hoffmannii (assuming that is how Martell actually spelled it - I cannot confirm this because the full reference is nowhere available online), but after 1999, prevailing usage overrules priority. The Commission made this change explicitly to stop people from resurrecting forgotten spellings when they got their hands on ancient papers and found that the original spelling was not the same as what everyone was familiar with. Now, the familiar name is the one the ICZN insists MUST be preserved, and the original spelling is forever thereafter prohibited, so anyone who published the spelling hoffmannii after 1999 did so in direct violation of the Code. Note also that Article 33.4 specifically discusses "-i" versus "-ii" endings, but is likewise superceded by 33.3.1, as noted above. I have made the necessary changes to the page, including a link to Article 33 of the ICZN. I realize that you made that edit a long time ago, but still felt you deserved an explanation for my undoing it. Dyanega ( talk) 21:49, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
