Someone created the article List of fires not started by Billy Joel. I actually hated to delete it because I don't think I've seen an article title make me LOL that hard in a while, but it's gone. I just figured you'd get a good chuckle out of it as well. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:33, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello Yunshui, I wonder if you could help: I've recently been taking a turn at recent changes patrol using Twinkle. Several times I've made a report to AIV but find it difficult to fill in the new & old revision numbers on the report form. Do you know of a quick way to enter these numbers? Or how critical is it to fill them in? With thanks in advance : Noyster (talk), 21:40, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that the AfD talk page for Belle Knox had been used as a general forum-ish talk page, so I blanked the page and protected it. I've had someone complain about it on my talk page saying that nothing on the page was inappropriate, that it doesn't promote open discussion, etc. I've left a note there explaining that the AfD talk page is supposed to remain blank and that it's not supposed to be a forum. To be very honest, the discussion there was mostly just the type of things you'd see on any average forum and it was mostly kvetching over us not using her real name and/or saying that the article's deletion was wrong/right. It was also starting to ramp itself up to become rather heated. I just wanted to get someone to come in and just sort of look over the whole thing, as someone also complained about me protecting it since I was involved in the AfD discussion. I was, but I know that the end result would likely have been the same: that the page would be blanked and protected, which I pointed out. I figure that getting someone to look over what I've done would probably be a good idea. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:35, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello Yunshui,
My name is Carly Downs and I am working on contributing to the existing article on Biogeography with two other Bucknell students in my History of Ecology class. We have drafted additions to the end of the Lead Section for the page, and were hoping you could advise us as to whether or not we have added the correct amount of detail for a Lead Section. Our additions are as follows (following last paragraph of the section):
The short-term interactions within a habitat and species of organisms describe the ecological application of biogeography. Historical biogeography describes the long-term, evolutionary periods of time for broader classifications of organisms. Early scientists, beginning with Carl Linnaeus, contributed theories to the contributions of the development of biogeography as a science. Beginning in the mid-18th century, Europeans explored the world and discovered the biodiversity of life. Linnaeus initiated the ways to classify organisms through his exploration of undiscovered territories. Closely after Linnaeus, George Louis Buffon observed shifts in climate and how species spread across the globe as a result. Buffon believed there was a single species creation event, and that different regions of the world were homes for varying species, which is an alternate view than that of Linnaeus. At the end of the 18th century, Alexander Von Humboldt developed the concept of physique generale to demonstrate the unity of science and how species fit together. As one of the first to contribute empirical data to the science of biogeography through his travel as an explorer, he observed differences in climate and vegetation. In the 19th century, several additional scientists contributed new theories to further develop the concept of biogeography. Charles Lyell, being one of the first contributors in the 19th century, developed the theory of uniformitarianism after studying fossils. Charles Darwin was a natural theologist who studied around the world but most importantly in the Galapagos Islands. Alfred Russel Wallace was commonly known as the father of biogeography, as he studied the influence of organism behaviors in varying species. Alfred Wegener introduced the Theory of Continental Drift in 1912, which describes the distribution of organisms and landmass around the globe. Robert MacArther and Edward O. Wilson use the Theory of Island Biogeography to describe how large islands have greater biodiversity than smaller island.
Current applications of biogeography imply the significance of the science in the modern world. Technological advances have allowed satellite imaging and processing of Planet Earth. Current scientists also use coral reefs to delve into the history of biogeography through the fossilized reefs. GIS, or General Information Sensing, can show certain processes on the Earth’s surface like whale locations, sea surface temperatures, and bathymetry.

Hi Yunshui!
For my History of Ecology class at Bucknell, I am contributing to the Kosmos (Humboldt) page. We are currently working on our outlines, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how I should approach the page? As is, there is not much information there, and I am not quite sure how to approach a page about a book Alexander von Humboldt wrote without focusing on Humboldt himself too much. I'm just worried about making the page too similar to Humboldt's actual Wikipedia page by including too much information on Humboldt and not enough about Kosmos specifically.
Let me know if you have any suggestions!
Thanks so much, Ashleyweir ( talk) 20:56, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Yunshui,
I had a few questions concerning my outline for the article, “Struggle for Existence” that I have been working on for the History of Ecology course at Bucknell University. First of all, I have focused my article on the development made on the struggle for existence by Malthus, Darwin, Wallace, and Huxley. Does it make sense to describe the progress of this idea in chronological order, as I begin to do in my rough draft below, or do you think there is a better way to organize the article? Additionally, do you have any advice as to the best way to describe the scientific aspects of the struggle for existence? I was considering referencing readers to the Natural Selection article for an explanation as to how the struggle for existence works into Darwin’s theory of evolution as a whole. As always, thank you for your assistance. Gtn001 ( talk) 00:00, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
The Struggle for Existence Outline Rough Draft:
The struggle for existence is a natural history metaphor. It refers to the competition between living organisms to survive. Originating in the late 1700s, the phase “struggle for existence” first came to use in Malthus’s An Essay on the Principle of Population. Malthus’s use of the struggle for existence came through his study of economics and people, not nature. Malthus knew that with limited resources on earth, there would be competition among people to exist and survive. In addition to Malthus, Charles Darwin, famously used the phrase “struggle for existence” in his book On the Origin of Species. The third chapter of this book is entitled “Struggle for Existence”. However, without the thoughts of Malthus, Darwin’s theory would not look as it does in On the Origin of Species. Before reading An Essay on the Principle of Population, Darwin continued to believe in perfect adaptation after his journey on the Beagle, as stated in the “Essay of 1844”. With Malthus’s idea of the struggle for existence, however, Darwin was able to change his view of adaption (2). From Malthus, Darwin claims that the struggle for existence idea allowed him to see that favorable variations would be preserved and unfavorable conditions would not leading to new species (1). In support, Darwin, around 1855, makes note that the struggle for existence helps produce diversification – leading to Darwin’s principle of divergence (2). Similar to Darwin, Alfred Wallace uses the phrase struggle for existence when discussing the issue of slavery in 1853 (4). With influence of Malthus, Wallace comes to similar conclusion of the idea of the struggle for existence and the effects it has on the overall population by 1855 (4). Additionally, T.H. Huxley developed the phrase further in a similar time period. In the wake of Darwin, Huxley did not agree with Darwin on natural selection, however, he did agree that there was a struggle for existence in nature (3).

Dear Yunshui,
You have recently deleted an article called sarkar group. The reason stated for deletion was G11. I am not sure why was it considered as Unambiguous advertising or promotion. If creating such article are so considered by you then why are article like Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik(where they have also displayed their products), Brabantia, IndiaMart to name a few doing on Wikipedia? aren't they for promotion? I am sure you are aware that there are hundreds of artiles created on various companies on Wikipedia then why was the above said article removed?
Your reply to above questions will be appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by T Pather ( talk • contribs) 12:48, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui, I'm working on the Kosmos (Humboldt) page for my History of Ecology class at Bucknell, and I was wondering how to make a 'Contents' key on my page like most other Wikipedia pages do (the key that outlines the article and has links to the different sections). I tried looking finding this information elsewhere on Wikipedia's help pages and whatnot but haven't had any luck.
Thank you! Ashleyweir ( talk) 17:48, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui,
I have made some corrections to my David Ehrenfeld article and have re-submitted the article for review. I did my best to add some independent sources. If you have time, could you possibly look over the article and give me a few suggestions for further improvement? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Emm031 ( talk) 05:27, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Yunshui before i go and do some tags , i think i needed much clarity in doing so, here are some of the article and why i think it needs to be deleted let me know if i am right

Hi Yunshui,
For my project on the Stanley Park Ecology Society (SPES), my partner and I wanted to use a map showing the locations of relevant landmarks at Stanley Park on our page. It was obtained from the SPES website (which they obtained from Google Maps) and we edited the map to pinpoint certain locations but we are unsure if we would be able to use this image if we were to upload it to Wikipedia Commons. If it is acceptable, what would be the best way of going about placing it on our page? Please advise at your earliest convenience as our project is due tomorrow. Sorry for the late notice, thanks again JThandi10 ( talk) 01:24, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
I am sorry but your student is just not understanding things. This PROD was too much. I totally agree with the editor who removed the tag calling it a joke edit. It is becoming a WP:CIR issue. Now, it depends on you whether you'll forgive time too. -- Tito☸ Dutta 14:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
@ Dharmadhyaksha:, he has been asked directly and directly (not a typo) many times. Yunshui has been giving him training. He does not want to understand. Most of his contribution are quick merge proposal, PROD, AFD, adding bunch of templates in articles, but never going ahead to attempt to fix issues. Last year after long discussions on wrong AFD and PROD tagging, he left, this year he has come back. -- Tito☸ Dutta 13:14, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Just letting you know that this user is creating multiple articles on the same subject which has already been deleted with the name Green Lite. You placed warning on user's talk page. I have nominated his recently created same article with different names Green Lite (cheap Light system) for speedy deletion. I am not an admin, I am also going to place final warning on his talk page. A.Minkowiski ( talk) 17:41, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
Level with me here Yun. Is good knowledge of CSD required for Rollback? I'm sure you can see why I'm edgy about it if it is. I grant he's new and looking to advance (and we both know my own CSD Knowledge isn't up to scratch) but you don't go to Level 8 with level 2 knowledge am I right?
Oh yeah while I'm here a second question for you Yun. You're Japanese right? Spawning country for Komatsu Limited? I had a trip to one of their buildings recently and they mentioned there's a number the Japanese consider unlucky? Don't suppose you'd be willing to remind me what it was would you?
Big thanks. MM ("Well? What have you got to report?") ("I give to you...") 19:31, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
CSD knowledge isn't really important for the purposes of being granted rollback rights (although if you're doing any sort of anti-vandal patrolling it certainly helps to know the basics of speedy deletion). CSD knowledge comes into consideration when requesting reviewer rights, though.
I'm about as Japanese as
Yorkshire pudding, and I don't speak very much of the language, but I believe I'm right in saying that the number four is considered unlucky because it's a homonym for "death". Both 四 ("four") and 死 ("death") can be pronounced "shi" (and for that reason two-digit numbers use the alternate reading "yon" for 4 - so 24 is "niju-yon", rather than "niju-shi"). The same holds true in Chinese, IIRC.
Yunshui, I have recently created this page about an election campaign. I wanted to know whether articles about election campaigns are eligible for becoming a good article or not. If yes, what content should I add to it to make it a good article? I know neutrality is important in such articles and the article needs more images too. I want your suggestions.-- Skr15081997 ( talk) 15:28, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Current applications of biogeography imply the significance of the science in the modern world. Technological advances have allowed satellite imaging and processing of Planet Earth. Current scientists also use coral reefs to delve into the history of biogeography through the fossilized reefs. GIS, or General Information Sensing, can show certain processes on the Earth’s surface like whale locations, sea surface temperatures, and bathymetry.

Hi Yunshui!
For my History of Ecology class at Bucknell, I am contributing to the Kosmos (Humboldt) page. We are currently working on our outlines, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how I should approach the page? As is, there is not much information there, and I am not quite sure how to approach a page about a book Alexander von Humboldt wrote without focusing on Humboldt himself too much. I'm just worried about making the page too similar to Humboldt's actual Wikipedia page by including too much information on Humboldt and not enough about Kosmos specifically.
Let me know if you have any suggestions!
Thanks so much, Ashleyweir ( talk) 20:56, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Yunshui,
I had a few questions concerning my outline for the article, “Struggle for Existence” that I have been working on for the History of Ecology course at Bucknell University. First of all, I have focused my article on the development made on the struggle for existence by Malthus, Darwin, Wallace, and Huxley. Does it make sense to describe the progress of this idea in chronological order, as I begin to do in my rough draft below, or do you think there is a better way to organize the article? Additionally, do you have any advice as to the best way to describe the scientific aspects of the struggle for existence? I was considering referencing readers to the Natural Selection article for an explanation as to how the struggle for existence works into Darwin’s theory of evolution as a whole. As always, thank you for your assistance. Gtn001 ( talk) 00:00, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
The Struggle for Existence Outline Rough Draft:
The struggle for existence is a natural history metaphor. It refers to the competition between living organisms to survive. Originating in the late 1700s, the phase “struggle for existence” first came to use in Malthus’s An Essay on the Principle of Population. Malthus’s use of the struggle for existence came through his study of economics and people, not nature. Malthus knew that with limited resources on earth, there would be competition among people to exist and survive. In addition to Malthus, Charles Darwin, famously used the phrase “struggle for existence” in his book On the Origin of Species. The third chapter of this book is entitled “Struggle for Existence”. However, without the thoughts of Malthus, Darwin’s theory would not look as it does in On the Origin of Species. Before reading An Essay on the Principle of Population, Darwin continued to believe in perfect adaptation after his journey on the Beagle, as stated in the “Essay of 1844”. With Malthus’s idea of the struggle for existence, however, Darwin was able to change his view of adaption (2). From Malthus, Darwin claims that the struggle for existence idea allowed him to see that favorable variations would be preserved and unfavorable conditions would not leading to new species (1). In support, Darwin, around 1855, makes note that the struggle for existence helps produce diversification – leading to Darwin’s principle of divergence (2). Similar to Darwin, Alfred Wallace uses the phrase struggle for existence when discussing the issue of slavery in 1853 (4). With influence of Malthus, Wallace comes to similar conclusion of the idea of the struggle for existence and the effects it has on the overall population by 1855 (4). Additionally, T.H. Huxley developed the phrase further in a similar time period. In the wake of Darwin, Huxley did not agree with Darwin on natural selection, however, he did agree that there was a struggle for existence in nature (3).

Dear Yunshui,
You have recently deleted an article called sarkar group. The reason stated for deletion was G11. I am not sure why was it considered as Unambiguous advertising or promotion. If creating such article are so considered by you then why are article like Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik(where they have also displayed their products), Brabantia, IndiaMart to name a few doing on Wikipedia? aren't they for promotion? I am sure you are aware that there are hundreds of artiles created on various companies on Wikipedia then why was the above said article removed?
Your reply to above questions will be appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by T Pather ( talk • contribs) 12:48, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui, I'm working on the Kosmos (Humboldt) page for my History of Ecology class at Bucknell, and I was wondering how to make a 'Contents' key on my page like most other Wikipedia pages do (the key that outlines the article and has links to the different sections). I tried looking finding this information elsewhere on Wikipedia's help pages and whatnot but haven't had any luck.
Thank you! Ashleyweir ( talk) 17:48, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui,
I have made some corrections to my David Ehrenfeld article and have re-submitted the article for review. I did my best to add some independent sources. If you have time, could you possibly look over the article and give me a few suggestions for further improvement? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Emm031 ( talk) 05:27, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I was just wondering what the process is to add content from our sandbox into an existing page. Do we just copy and paste it into the edit section of the page or is there a preliminary step first? This is the link for the page: /info/en/?search=User:Thelukkolukko/sandbox Thanks!

Hi Yunshui,
For my project on the Stanley Park Ecology Society (SPES), my partner and I wanted to use a map showing the locations of relevant landmarks at Stanley Park on our page. It was obtained from the SPES website (which they obtained from Google Maps) and we edited the map to pinpoint certain locations but we are unsure if we would be able to use this image if we were to upload it to Wikipedia Commons. If it is acceptable, what would be the best way of going about placing it on our page? Please advise at your earliest convenience as our project is due tomorrow. Sorry for the late notice, thanks again JThandi10 ( talk) 01:24, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
I am sorry but your student is just not understanding things. This PROD was too much. I totally agree with the editor who removed the tag calling it a joke edit. It is becoming a WP:CIR issue. Now, it depends on you whether you'll forgive time too. -- Tito☸ Dutta 14:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
@ Dharmadhyaksha:, he has been asked directly and directly (not a typo) many times. Yunshui has been giving him training. He does not want to understand. Most of his contribution are quick merge proposal, PROD, AFD, adding bunch of templates in articles, but never going ahead to attempt to fix issues. Last year after long discussions on wrong AFD and PROD tagging, he left, this year he has come back. -- Tito☸ Dutta 13:14, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Just letting you know that this user is creating multiple articles on the same subject which has already been deleted with the name Green Lite. You placed warning on user's talk page. I have nominated his recently created same article with different names Green Lite (cheap Light system) for speedy deletion. I am not an admin, I am also going to place final warning on his talk page. A.Minkowiski ( talk) 17:41, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
Level with me here Yun. Is good knowledge of CSD required for Rollback? I'm sure you can see why I'm edgy about it if it is. I grant he's new and looking to advance (and we both know my own CSD Knowledge isn't up to scratch) but you don't go to Level 8 with level 2 knowledge am I right?
Oh yeah while I'm here a second question for you Yun. You're Japanese right? Spawning country for Komatsu Limited? I had a trip to one of their buildings recently and they mentioned there's a number the Japanese consider unlucky? Don't suppose you'd be willing to remind me what it was would you?
Big thanks. MM ("Well? What have you got to report?") ("I give to you...") 19:31, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
CSD knowledge isn't really important for the purposes of being granted rollback rights (although if you're doing any sort of anti-vandal patrolling it certainly helps to know the basics of speedy deletion). CSD knowledge comes into consideration when requesting reviewer rights, though.
I'm about as Japanese as
Yorkshire pudding, and I don't speak very much of the language, but I believe I'm right in saying that the number four is considered unlucky because it's a homonym for "death". Both 四 ("four") and 死 ("death") can be pronounced "shi" (and for that reason two-digit numbers use the alternate reading "yon" for 4 - so 24 is "niju-yon", rather than "niju-shi"). The same holds true in Chinese, IIRC.
Yunshui, I have recently created this page about an election campaign. I wanted to know whether articles about election campaigns are eligible for becoming a good article or not. If yes, what content should I add to it to make it a good article? I know neutrality is important in such articles and the article needs more images too. I want your suggestions.-- Skr15081997 ( talk) 15:28, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
