DYK
I'm a DYK n00b. The Peter Wilmshurst one I porposed is sitting near the end of the 30 days and I only just became aware that I had not brought a shrubbery, which I have now fixed. Is it too late, do you know? I think it is worth putting him on the front page for his fifteen minutes of fame, the man has taken more than one for the team and is a bit of a legend.

Collaboration
Serpens and Eta Carinae are both very near FAC at this point. I have a good three months before college starts up again, so how would you feel about a collaboration on Messier 87? I pick it because it's already a GA and won't need that much work to get to FA; thus, I think it can be done by the end of the summer. StringTheory11 (t • c) 00:18, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Cytherea (pornographic actress)
Since you closed the request to move Cytherea (pornographic actress) to Cytherea (actress) as "not moved", shouldn't you have left the article at Cytherea (pornographic actress), since that was its state prior to the request? —BarrelProof (talk) 17:52, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * oops, didn't notice. fixed now. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:35, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * How the hell a 8 against 3 could result in a no consensus?? Ok, it's not a vote, but majority of editors rejected the " misleading" argument, both here and in other relevant and cited discussions, and as long as a 3:1 ratio was  not enough I wonder... how much consensus do you expected for making a move? High smell of supervote here.... Cavarrone  20:47, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Look, one goes on arguments not numbers. Both sides have valid points - it's obviously a smouldering issue and needs an RfC on the whole issue. The question should be phrased, "Should a person who has appeared only in pornographic films be termed, "Jane Doe (actress)" or "Jane Doe (pornographic actress)" - hold it over a month, and get wide input and be done with it once and for all. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:51, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * NB:Cavarrone, I really don't care what the title is. Just do the RfC and highlight it somewhere and then there can be a guideline and the bickering can stop. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:53, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Both having valid points is not a reason or a justification for ignoring the consensus, especially if such a consensus was not exactly "surprising" but on the contrary it was consistently supported from a number of extensive moving discussions which in the last months had already settled the question. If there is about a 3:1 ratio which support a valid point over the other valid point and which support the moving, the page should be moved, period. Your request for a RfC is not a justification for your failure to correctly read the consensus in the discussion. Cavarrone 21:07, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Cavarrone you have two choices then. Either stuff around with a Move Review or do an RfC, but doing these articles singly is a waste of resources and hot air. Tell you what, I'll set up the RfC myself in a few hours once I've done a few RL chores. Then it can be big hugs all round. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:32, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Frigatebird FAC
Hi, Casliber - you are certainly deserving of all kinds of accolades for the great work you do on WP. I saw your post on bird project and did a quick review of the article. Nicely done. I have some copy edit suggestions that will tighten the lead and make it a bit more lucid and flowing. I didn't go into the body of the article in detail yet - but before I attempted any copy editing, I wanted to consult with you first. Atsme 📞📧 15:34, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Atsme, when I review an article at FAC, I write this, so it'd be hypocritical of me not to have the same done at any FAC I am involved in improving, so go for it. I'll have a look afterwards. Thanks for taking a look! Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:12, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I appreciate it, but before I make any changes, please take a peak at it first - User:Atsme/sandbox - I moved text around, and shortened the lead a bit. I think a 3rd paragraph regarding human utilization/interaction may be appropriate as applicable to what's already in the body.  I also changed a couple of section titles for conformity. You can comment on my sandbox.  It's fun to collaborate with experienced editors who have long since grown a protective layer of critic retardant skin. SMirC-wink.svg  --Atsme 📞📧 23:17, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, alot of that looks smoother and I think is a net positive - the more I think about it, I think gettiing their ranging across all subtropical oceans should come in sentence 1 - ("Frigatebirds (also known as Fregatidae) are a family of pelagic and aerial seabirds found across the world's subtropical oceans" or something similar). So sling it in and we can play with it. Regarding headers - I always take "etymology" to be more reductionistic in meaning mere meaning (i.e. dicdef) and taxonomy is more global, combining classification (and by definition evolution), systematics and naming. Maybe like this. hang on...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:22, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The evolutionary relationships appear to be a topic of debate. I went through something similar when I was working on some of the ancestral fishes and collaborated with a microbiologist or maybe he was a geneticist, can't remember, but we finally got it worked out despite the various clades and scientific debate over whether they maintained most of their primitive morphological characters or were highly derived therefore belonging to a different group (Teleosts).  Anyway, I see similarities here so you might want to give the following a read .  My brain is frigated so I'm about to turn off the iPad and the lights.  --Atsme 📞📧 03:34, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The taxonomic material written on that page is vague, misleading and outdated. I've never seen any studies connecting them with Charadriiformes, and a couple of things linking with procellariiformes (one of which I've covered, the other was to do with parasites I think) but the link is tenuous. For the past 20 years it's been increasingly clear that pelicans (and shoebill) are not closely related to the group containing frigatebirds, cormorants, darters and gannets/boobies -but the name needed changing as pelicans gave their name to the group. Any webpage that still lists frigatebirds as pelecaniformes is way outdated. (look at the age of the references that page uses) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:17, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Whew! Good to know. Atsme 📞📧 11:38, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * That lead sure if fiddly. I keep wanting to tinker with it. I meant that a line on the worlds oceans but then should follow description/species etc. Sigh. No am worried that it jumps a bit about too much. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:13, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll take it back to my sandbox and see how you like it after I tighten it up here and there. Atsme 📞📧 12:31, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure - go for it. I generally edit low-traffic articles, so real time editing is fine too. I very rarely use the sandbox. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:46, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I hope you like it. I tried to hold true to the order you wanted, leaving the evolutionary references in the 3rd para.  I made the text a bit more "engaging".  As you know, it's not easy to make encyclopedic engaging.  My biggest challenge hit me about 15 yrs ago when I was writing a script for a PBS documentary about endangered unionids.  Imagine trying to make a half-hour program about clams interesting when the tendency is to clam-up.  *lol*  --Atsme 📞📧 18:39, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * see talk page - I like para 3, but I think para 1 I'll rejig back more to a safe/default way of most bird articles. To make it not jump around in content means rejigging the material one of two ways and behaviour before description comes over weird...no biggie...it's an interesting one to get my head around....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:52, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Münchhausen number
Hello - would you please explain your "no consensus" close here? I see above that you have said that "one goes on arguments not numbers" in evaluating an RM discussion. Here, the three !opposers stated that the real-life baron used an umlaut. Which is true. But the numbers were named after the fictional baron, which has one "h" and does not have an umlaut. As with Munchausen syndrome. Thus the argument put forward by the !opposers is not relevant. Would you reconsider your close in that light? Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 14:55, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Ankylosaurus etymology
Hi, I and are working on expanding Ankylosaurus for FAC, and I noticed some issues with the etymology that was already in the article. Explanation of the genus name can be found on this dead site, but is it a reliable source (in the sense that it would be accepted during FAC)? Also, none of the sources I found give a meaning for the species name, so that is still uncited. So I was wondering whether you know of any workarounds to cite this? Dictionaries? The article already became a GA in 2006, so we can't GAN nominate it, though it probably wouldn't have passed today in its current form. FunkMonk (talk) 05:06, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

 * I could do the bare meaning but not the rest - one dino book must cover it, worth chasing....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:34, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * So if I just do away with "referring to the great width of the animal's body" about the species name, I guess it should be ok with that citation you added? FunkMonk (talk) 15:37, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, mine is only a dictionary so it just does the name. I recommend leaving it for teh moment - let's look through some online dino history to see if we can find the other bits, but remove if we can't. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:39, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Question for you and your stalkers
Cas, I've been debating whether to become an admin and am seeking the opinion of various people to decide if I should take a run at it. (yes, 70,000+ edits in, now I'm thinking about it...finally) My question is if I have been around so long that I now have too much baggage and have pissed off too many of the wrong people. I think that by holding myself to a strict code of recusal and avoiding using the mop anywhere my neutrality would legitimately be questioned (i.e. horse articles, mostly), I'd do a pretty good job; I've been there, done that, seem about every kind of drama, and when I'm not involved, I generally can stay pretty cool (sometimes I can even stay cool when I am involved, it kind of depends). I know myself pretty well. But, and it's a big question, how much would experience and some of the battle scars I've acquired be used against me? I'd like to think that the people I've had the nastiest tangles with turned out to be individuals who earned long-term blocks over the long haul, and the rest I've managed to figure out a way to work with on-wiki, but I may be mistaken. I'm asking you (and those who watchlist your page) for your candid views because I figure that you've seen me around wiki a lot, you've helped me out of a couple jams and we've chatted about assorted stuff. And it will give me a sense of what I'm up against. Montanabw <sup style="color:purple;">(talk) 04:30, 17 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, try and think of the most acrimonious situations folks could find and link here. I've been aware of some but may not have the full picture. Maybe try and make up with some folks you're antagonistic with? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:34, 17 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Where to start? (ha) The most recent is this one. Frankly, most of the people I've spatted with over the years that are still around I mostly get along with well enough or we have agreed to disagree and work mostly in our own areas. Frankly, I'm posting the general question because some people I have no interest in making up with, they can bring it... the question is if they would top the 30%.

frigatebird references
I notice some references in the frigatebird article have periods after the author initials and some do not. I intend to make them consistent but I wanted to check with you as to which style you prefer. I don't have a strong preference - I've used both styles (hopefully not in the same article) - but I prefer not to have spaces between the initials. Aa77zz (talk) 17:10, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
 * My aim is no spaces and periods in the article. cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, your announcements link to the signup page but you don't give a link to the description of the comp. Not easy to get from one to tother on mobile editor - may I suggest you add another link ? Or a link from signup page to info page. Thanks. Pam D  23:38, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

It's good to see you
Just noticed that you are now working the DYKNs, it's good to see that you are still going strong. I am not sure how long this run will linger, but since my last one I acquired a copy of A Guide to the Birds of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands by Raffaele. Do you have this one? If not, I can get it scanned. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  10:02, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, hadn't thought of that. Let me think on it. Sounds like alot of work.....thanks for offering. Since those days, I've managed to get good access to fulltexts of most journals thanks to being made a conjoint lecturer at university :) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:31, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoa, wish I had that kind of access. My method is crude by comparison, I keep a web of acquaintances that let me know of any book that comes their way. It's not as efficient, but I come across stuff that is so obscure that you wouldn't believe it. Most don't serve much use when it comes to Wikipedia, but I am aware that at least half a dozen of them are not found in the UPR or the General Archives, which is pretty cool. Anything relevant to Caribbean biodiversity is there, so just ping me if you have a relevant project in mind. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  22:48, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Casliber,

Would you be able to add any sources to any of the draft pages at User:BOZ/Draft pages? I am trying to get them improved enough to move back into article space. BOZ (talk) 04:17, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Emu War
I am working on the article Emu and am puzzled by the so-called Emu War which seems to have taken place in October/November 1932. The Wikipedia article Emu War states "wheat prices continued to fall, and by October 1932 matters were becoming intense, with the farmers preparing to harvest the season's crop ". My question then is, what time of year is wheat harvested in Western Australia? In Britain it would nowadays be July/August or perhaps September for ancient varieties, and I would have expecting it to be February or March in Australia. Are you able to enlighten me? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:34, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Off the top of my head I don't know but my guess would be like yours. i.e. late summer. I don't have any books specifically on wheat so my next move finding out would be the same as yours - i.e. googling it....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:14, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Following your suggestion, I find that wheat is grown as a winter crop in Western Australia. In 2014, for example, havesting was expected to start in late September after a warm, dry winter. So that explains it. Thanks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:00, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

FA review of Ketogenic diet
I believe I have followed the guidelines for requesting a FA review. I have done this on the talk page of the article. The major editor/contributor initially wrote that he would address my concerns regarding the references in the article. No progress has been done to address my concerns and I, with no malice, want to proceed with the process of a review of its FA status. The major problems are: the references are quite outdated. I have posted other references and left this information on the talk page. I would have edited and inserted the updated references myself but I do not feel as if I have the expertise or familiarity with the topic to do so or I would have fixed it myself. Another significant problem is that the references do not meet the requirements of WP:MEDRS. The references in medical articles should be academic journal review articles, systematic review articles, governmental websites and policies and medical textbooks. I could find none of these as sources (there might one and I might have missed it). My review is not perfect but in good faith, I am optimistic that with the right sources, this article can retain its FA status. Best Regards,

Speedy deletion nomination of Nu Lyrae
Hello Casliber,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Nu Lyrae for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Trivialist (talk) 22:18, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Today's featured article/August 16, 2015
Cas, this one from TFAR is around 800 characters; I've been able to keep them all above 900 so far. Is there anything you'd like to add? I thought this bit from the image description was interesting: "The young stars in the R Coronae Australis complex are similar in mass to the Sun and do not emit enough ultraviolet light to ionise a substantial fraction of the surrounding hydrogen. This means that the cloud does not glow with the characteristic red colour seen in many star-forming regions." - Dank (push to talk) 19:19, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I expanded it a bit, check it out. - Dank (push to talk) 18:55, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
