Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 17:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Tom Radulovich, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature should have little to no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! œ ™ 16:17, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
I saw a number of edits you made on Falklands topics. There seems to have been a problem with the edit as it introduced an error in wikisyntax. I did try and fix it but I'm having one of those days and couldn't see the problem. So I ended up reverting to the last version.
I'd be grateful if you wouldn't mind explaining what the change means - to a layman it seems strange to label the Falklands as "tropical". W C M email 17:45, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

G'day. I see that you have categorized Cumberland Plain Woodland under Temperate forests, when the plain doesn't even have forests to start with (it is a grassy, dry woodland area with an open canopy). Whilst the region doesn't have a Mediterranean climate per se, its shrubby and dry woodland area is reminiscent of the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub and as well as Temperate grasslands. And such woodlands do not need to have a Mediterranean climate either way, to posses Mediterranean-style woodland areas, as some oceanic and humid subtropical climates near the Mediterranean sea feature Maquis shrubland.
For the record, the Eastern Australian temperate forests cover the forests in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney and those in the Royal National Park south of Sydney, which are well outside of the Cumberland Plain. Now they tremendously feature pockets of temperate and subtropical forests, whereas the Cumberland Plain does not.
Here are some image examples of the natural vegetation of the Cumberland Plain: image one, image two, image three, image four, image five. Now compare these to the temperate forests in the Royal National Park in southern Sydney and Blue Mountains National Park west of Sydney. You can clearly see how dry and scrubby the Cumberland Plain Woodland is for "temperate forests" and how it certainly can't be grouped with the actual neighbouring temperate forests in the vicinity.
Here is a descrption of the Cumberland Plain Woodland from a NSW government website:
"...typically comprises an open tree canopy, a near-continuous groundcover dominated by grasses and herbs, sometimes with layers of shrubs and/or small trees. Shrubs may sometimes occur in locally dense stands. Less disturbed stands of the community may have a woodland or forest structure. Small trees or saplings may dominate the community in relatively high densities after partial or total clearing, and the groundcover may be relatively sparse, especially where densities of trees or shrubs are high. The community also includes ‘derived’ native grasslands which result from removal of the woody strata from the woodlands and forests."
I'd understand that maybe for climatic reasons, the Woodland cannot be grouped under Med forests, but it certainly shouldn't be placed under "temperate forests" (as per description above). I hope you have a perspective on this. Thanks. – 203.221.127.71 ( talk), 08:42, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

I would suggest you to read the basic definitions of laurel/laurissilva (the so-called evergreen broad leaf forest of Madeira, Azores and Canary islands), on wikipedia and not only. It is mainly a subtropical type of forest. Why is that? The species composition is very old dating back to the Tertiary period (in Madeira the laurissilva was estimated to be around 1,8 million years old) when subtropical forests were dominant in southern europe and because it are not Mediterranean or Deciduous temperate forests. Broad leaf is the opposite of Mediterranean and differentiates it from both conifer and small hard leaf Mmediterranean vegetation and evergreen is the opposite of deciduous, because the leaf cover is permanent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.94.20.23 ( talk) 16:38, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

The transitional Coolgardie, Hampton, and Yalgoo regions are generally drier than the rest of the Southwest. They considered part of Southwest Australia by the WWF, but are considered part of the Central Australian or Eremaean Region by the Western Australian Herbarium - and the historic context is that the wwf must be the only lot to get into such stuff... all locally produced attempts to compartmentalise the environmental contexts, by rainfall, vegetation type and all tended to leave out the transitional regions... city based western australians associate 'south west' as a rainfall and vegetation indicated region, many would say that it has a boundary in the wheatbelt...

Hi,
I've been trying to find sources for the claim that the
Sassandra River is formed by the confluence of Tienba and Gouan/Bafing sud. The sources I found that were not derived from Wikipedia disagree on whether Férédougouba/Bagbé, Tienba or even Boa is the main source of Sassandra, but they all agree that the name Sassandra is used already from the confluence of these three rivers, if not further upstream. I collected them at
sv:Diskussion:Sassandra (vattendrag) -- I don't expect that you read Swedish, but Google Translate seems to do a decent job and the sources are in English or French. Now, I can't claim that it's an exhaustive search, especially not of printed materials, so I wonder if you might remember what sources you used when you wrote the article in 2006. It's long ago, so I understand if you don't.

At least for mammals, we try not to have species articles if they aren't accepted by the secondary sources, such as IUCN or the ASM MDD. The 2014 journal article announcing it should be a species hasn't been followed up; it's still undescribed and has not appeared in other sources. This should remain a redirect until such time as the status changes. I'd commented out its info in the relevant template and in the genus article. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:23, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, if you think we should include publication dates with botanical authorities, please raise this at WT:PLANTS and seek a revised consensus. At present, the consensus is that, with the possible exception of paleobotany, we do not use dates, as per the ICNafp.

I happened to see the comments about dates in taxoboxes here, if you want to open a discussion about dates being in taxoboxes for plants I would support it either being optional or being the same standard as Animalia going forward.

I guess it must be some British vs. American English thing, but describing the habitat of a plant using the word "altitude" is absolutely standard in British English. See for example the entries in Plants of the World Online. See also the entry in the Cambridge Dictionary. So I'm not sure that you are always justified in changing from "altitude" to "elevation".

Hi there - it seems there is something more to this taxon. There is a taxon Tyloglossa genistiformis Nees ( Tyloglossa being a synonym for Justicia) that is currently under review. Also, this rather mysterious record [9]. I don't quite know how to interpret these, but it seems to me that the situation is more complex than "taxon does not exist", and I would suggest removing the PROD and perhaps booting it over to WikiProject Plants for an opinion.

In my experience of the use of the term "endemic", a taxon found widely in Northern America would not be said to be endemic. Could a taxon be said to be endemic to Eurasia? The notion of a restricted range seems a core part of the definition. Peter coxhead ( talk) 16:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Many categories such as Category:Moths of Mozambique were upmerged on the grounds that moths are not restricted by country boundaries. See eg 2014 November 6#Category:Moths of Cameroon. Lepidoptera have similar qualities and could be regarded as recreation of deleted categories. Oculi ( talk) 15:07, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi,
I've been trying to find sources for the claim that the
Sassandra River is formed by the confluence of Tienba and Gouan/Bafing sud. The sources I found that were not derived from Wikipedia disagree on whether Férédougouba/Bagbé, Tienba or even Boa is the main source of Sassandra, but they all agree that the name Sassandra is used already from the confluence of these three rivers, if not further upstream. I collected them at
sv:Diskussion:Sassandra (vattendrag) -- I don't expect that you read Swedish, but Google Translate seems to do a decent job and the sources are in English or French. Now, I can't claim that it's an exhaustive search, especially not of printed materials, so I wonder if you might remember what sources you used when you wrote the article in 2006. It's long ago, so I understand if you don't.
Thank you in advance, Essin ( talk) 14:22, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
I don't think we're supposed to use Category:Flora of the Mediterranean Basin as it's not in the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Abductive ( reasoning) 06:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
As per the examples at Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants/Template and at Template:Taxobox/doc, dates are not used with authorities in plant articles (except in special cases, e.g. when there are issues over priority). Peter coxhead ( talk) 18:38, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello Tom Radulovich!
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

At least for mammals, we try not to have species articles if they aren't accepted by the secondary sources, such as IUCN or the ASM MDD. The 2014 journal article announcing it should be a species hasn't been followed up; it's still undescribed and has not appeared in other sources. This should remain a redirect until such time as the status changes. I'd commented out its info in the relevant template and in the genus article. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:23, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, if you think we should include publication dates with botanical authorities, please raise this at WT:PLANTS and seek a revised consensus. At present, the consensus is that, with the possible exception of paleobotany, we do not use dates, as per the ICNafp. See e.g. Template:Taxobox/doc#Authorities and the example taxoboxes higher up in this documentation. Peter coxhead ( talk) 06:15, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
I commend the changes you've made to make better use of this category. It really shows the importance of the Cape Provices to floral diversity. Peter coxhead ( talk) 15:33, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants#Distribution categorization of monotypic genera and species redirects, where I've opened a discussion on how to handle such categorization. Peter coxhead ( talk) 19:08, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
I think you should request WP:PMR. I would support you in the request. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:54, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Tom Radulovich. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to

I happened to see the comments about dates in taxoboxes here, if you want to open a discussion about dates being in taxoboxes for plants I would support it either being optional or being the same standard as Animalia going forward. I think that it is useful information that ought to be in Wikipedia's plant articles. 🌿MtBotany ( talk) 17:51, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
I guess it must be some British vs. American English thing, but describing the habitat of a plant using the word "altitude" is absolutely standard in British English. See for example the entries in Plants of the World Online. See also the entry in the Cambridge Dictionary. So I'm not sure that you are always justified in changing from "altitude" to "elevation".

Category:Social groups of Pakistan has been nominated for merging. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

Hi there - it seems there is something more to this taxon. There is a taxon Tyloglossa genistiformis Nees ( Tyloglossa being a synonym for Justicia) that is currently under review. Also, this rather mysterious record [9]. I don't quite know how to interpret these, but it seems to me that the situation is more complex than "taxon does not exist", and I would suggest removing the PROD and perhaps booting it over to WikiProject Plants for an opinion.

In my experience of the use of the term "endemic", a taxon found widely in Northern America would not be said to be endemic. Could a taxon be said to be endemic to Eurasia? The notion of a restricted range seems a core part of the definition. Peter coxhead ( talk) 16:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
As Linnaea is back to a monotypic genus, I suppose Linnaea borealis should be merged in with it. Peter coxhead ( talk) 10:43, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
