Mummy

Hi, you changed the code on Mummyy//Mummy but then left a stray character at the end of the article. I just erased all of that thinking it was a mistake of garbled code everywhere, but then I see that the code for the Egyptian word for mummy got changed in the process. I'd like you to relook at that and make it the way it's supposed to be. Thanks. DreamGuy 22:08, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

3D images

Hi, I'm in Ventura County California. I really like posting museum objects in this new "compatible form" of 3D. It really makes eveything of this type look more realistic, while not ruining the effect for those lacking the simple glasses. There are always a few million glasses out there at all times, especially kids are likely to have saved them from "Spy Kids 3D'. I would appreciate if this format were to be given a chance as it draws kids into interest in archeology and museums. 3dnatureguy 21:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC) Originally misposted to user:Mmcannis.

Proposed deletion of List of Arizona Wilderness Areas

Hi there. I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article List of Arizona Wilderness Areas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. The material in the article is virtually identical to List of U.S. Wilderness Areas. It's much easier to maintain one list for all of US instead of an separate list for each state. Additionally, I have implemented Category:Wilderness Areas of Arizona to keep it easier to track which wilderness areas have articles.

If you disagree with the deletion, discuss the issues raised at Talk:List of Arizona Wilderness Areas. If you remove the "{{prod}}" template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Thanks! ClarkBHM 18:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I saw that you removed the template. What would you propose instead? ClarkBHM 18:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I should have written you earlier. I have been redoing this list, and am just about finished with the associated Mountains, etc. And, I mentioned, that I was never really happy with the fact that I just copied the whole body of the "U.S." page; it was just quick and easy to do it. So.... I was glad that you made the update happen. I am also trying to get to the Sky islands of SE ariz, since "Bauskauf" just added a great link (out of Vanderbilt) with a better map. ....So I'll have the second list done(on this Wilderness page) in about a half hour or so. And, I want to say thanx for all the help, too. --MichaelMcAnnis,YumaAZ, down in the Lower Colorado River VAlley---Mmcannis 18:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Category:Natural history of Trinidad and Tobago and Category:Land Birds of Trinidad and Tobago

I am curious about why you chose to come up with Category:Natural history of Trinidad and Tobago, and why you placed it as a subcategory of Category:Trinidad and Tobago, rather than one of the other subcategories. While Category:Environment of Trinidad and Tobago is poorly named, adding a parallel Category:Natural history of Trinidad and Tobago seems redundant, especially since it does not include a lot of articles which really belong in there.

With regards to Category:Land Birds of Trinidad and Tobago (and those of other islands), I was wondering why you chose that and not the more common cat:Avifauna of Foo. What is your cut-off for land birds? Would this be a subcat of Avifauna of Foo? Guettarda 14:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello,Guettarda. I'll explain quickly; I had started avifauna, after seeing the Category:Avifauna of Florida. It was the only Avifauna page. I did western USA, then ALL the states(of the West) then headed to eastern US, but the regions(also): ex: (the one I just entered, the Common Black Hawk), to: Category:Avifauna of Southwestern United States. It is all under Category:Natural history of the United States by state(Somebody else after the mess I created put 'all of it' into the "by-state" categories, and then I did like,... canada by-province, and some(Most)of the Mexican states by-state)(None of that applies in the same way to the Caribbean). they list the Fauna/Flora, then Trees, and Avifauna, a basic 4; some states have an addition: For example: Category:Natural history of New Mexico was the first addition I made of Category:Rio Grande.

I just//almost finished Ontario, the Category:Natural history of Ontario. I added the Category:Oak Ridges Moraine, the landform that extends parallel to the St Lawrence Seaway, and covers/Extends all across S. Ontario

I only started Central America yesterday, but kept coming up with the South American, and Caribbean connections. When I was finishing up Ontario, I ended up off the east coast of Canada. and even just added a bird from the Lesser Antilles that also goes up to even Greenland. .... so it is in Category:Avifauna of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The Cocoa Thrush.

I assume the "Birds" should, in some cases, try to be organized as "terrestial" vs "Shore", vs "Water". I really don't have the answers to it. I only just started, so I try to find the category that has already been created, for example: Category:Wildlife of the Caribbean, and made subcategories for it.

Any thing can be Re-arranged. I just now am going thru the Lesser Antilles, but I appreciate your asking. I have to get off this computer, but I started this saturday morning, and am just about to take an intermission.. .....///Thanks for being curious.

When I did Mexico, I fairly quickly went back and Did: Category:Avifauna of Eastern Mexico, Central and Category:Avifauna of Western Mexico. The Eastern Mex birds go down into Central America. Anyway this is just a work in progress, Andddd... the Natural history stuff has for the USA all the Tornadoes, and Derechos, which I hadn't even heard of.. Also Impact Craters—(Plus somebody just added the Big Fires to Nat. History-I had added some earthquakes. The Caribbean has its earthquakes, etc.). I've done about 10-20 states fairly completely for the Natural History---- So still working on this. Look at the bird pages I tried at Yuma, Arizona-(2 pages of birds)..Mmcannis 15:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure that you understood my questions.

1. Why did you create Category:Natural history of Trinidad and Tobago, and what was the reason for creating it without any relation to the other categories?
2. Why "land birds" (it should be "Land birds", not "Land Birds", by the way) and not Avifauna? There are lots of "Avifauna of Foo" categories, so why have separate Land birds, Shore birds and Water birds (and by water birds do you include waterfowl? waders?)? What is the underlying basis for this division? And why is it necessary - I have never seen anything other than Avifauna of Foo or Birds of Foo. Guettarda 22:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
