FanFiction.Net
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article FanFiction.Net, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image:DESCENDANTS OF EADBALD OF KENT.svg
You had requested an family tree of EADBALD OF KENT at the graphics lab a while bac. We have one done. Please come take a look. Thank you  Sagredo &#8857;&#9791;&#9792;&#9793;&#9794;&#9795;&#9796; 07:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)




 * If you visited and it was not there. I was tired when I uploaded it, and the signbot place a signature right after the image name.  So It did not show.  I did not notice when I saved the page.  This has now been fixed.  And if you want more of these, please do put them up at the Graphics Lab.  Please remember that few if any of the artists are professionals, most are there to improve their skills.  Sometimes we need more than one try, but most people making requests are very satisified.  Follow the dicussion of the images I've done, you'll see lots of remakes.  Cheers! Sagredo &#8857;&#9791;&#9792;&#9793;&#9794;&#9795;&#9796; 17:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

To answer your question on WikiProject Mountains#4000 articles, I came across today (data is from Oct 18, 2007). -- User:Docu

Meerkat Manor
Hi. Meerkat Manor is currently a candidate for Featured Article. As part of the feedback, User:Spawn Man recommended having a copy editor go over the article and recommended you as someone he's worked with before who does excellent work. Would you have time to give the article a going over to help give it the final tweaks it needs? Collectonian (talk) 15:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

Could I invite you back to Featured list candidates/Grade I listed buildings in Greater Manchester‎ where I believe the issues you raised have since been addressed. Kindest regards, -- Jza84 · (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Your copyedit request
On 26 March 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit on Verbascum thapsus. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we apologize. Since your request, this article may have been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. Finetooth (talk) 00:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Sirius
G'day, any help or comments on Sirius much appreciated as I am working it up to FAC. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Update. Sirius is at FAC and doing OK, though Marskell and I are discussing order of page with differing viewpoints. All input here (whatever outcome) to get consensus would be much appreciated. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Hieracium pilosella
So sorry to hear about Charlene! I hope you get her fixed soon. Anyway, I'm here to ask your opinion on Hieracium and Pilosella. You had edited Mouse-ear Hawkweed quite a bit before it was merged to Hieracium pilosella. Do you have knowledge about the genus that could cleanup the problems between the two genera? The taxobox still shows Pilosella officinarum, though. And then there's Pilosella aurantiaca while Pilosella redirects to Hieracium. Not to mention some of the text in Hawkweed that acknowledges both genera. Have any sources handy? I've been trying to clean these articles up but I know next to nothing about the Asteraceae. Any help would be appreciated! Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 23:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Utricularia purpurea
First, I forgot to thank you for your input above. I'm sure I'll get around to fixing the articles above someday but don't know where to begin with the Asteraceae. Thought you might know offhand.

Anyway, thanks for this. I've known about those categories for quite some time but I don't prefer to use them for a couple reasons: 1) There's no demarcation listed on the category pages. Is Alabama really part of the Eastern US? Depends on where you live. People living in New Jersey consider Ohio to be part of the midwest, whereas when I lived in Washington state and talked about "going back east" people always assumed I meant east of the Cascade Range. So perhaps you could help me with the proper demarcations if you have time. Should we follow Hesperian's example with the and attempt to follow the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions? The other reason I prefer the state/province categories is that the source I'm using is explicit regarding which states and provinces these plants call home. And so it might look a little crazy but it's all accurate! Whereas putting it in one of the large categories may not be as accurate. I think there was a discussion on WT:PLANTS not too long ago about that and what little consensus did arise was that unless a plant was growing in all states, it wasn't accurate to place it in those categories, though there was some hesitation to the resulting category soup that would develop if a plant was only growing in 49/50 states. It's a minor point, but a good distraction from what's currently going on at WT:PLANTS. Phew! Ah well, hope all is well with you. Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 04:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Hiking trail
Hello, not long ago you updated infobox:Mountain with a parameter to allow photo resizing. Can you do the same for Template:Infobox Hiking trail? It's a little beyond my skill level. Thanks so much, --Pgagnon999 (talk) 05:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Out of my depth on fungi
I still feel a bit out of my depth given my track record with these things, shall I put this, Entoloma sinuatum up at GA, can you see anything to massage? cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:14, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Featured sounds
I noticed that you have participated in Featured sound candidates in the past. There are now two candidates and the project appears to be abandoned. If you could look at the candidates and vote it would be appreciated. Zginder(talk) (Contrib) 00:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Amanita ocreata
OK one last request for a while... this flunked at FAC a few months ago and I scrubbed it up and got it through GAN soon after to keep a stable version etc. I've asked someone for a range map, but apart from that I am not sure what else to do with it before a crack at FAC. It is a bit thin compared with others I've run through but there really isn't much more I think I can add. Also, would you bother with some external links of things which are already linked in references? All input appreciated. These ones where there are few/no other editors active in a wikiproject can be tough...cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I nominated it at FAC - a prelimiary second opinion as per the FAC nomination page would be helpful if you're not too tied up at present. (i.e. what is extraneous and what is good to keep). cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:56, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

List of Chicago Landmarks
I am revising List of Chicago Landmarks for new designations since July 2003. You will see many redlinks that need articles if we want to retain WP:FL status.

Track information
Since you are doing the tabular adjustements on the bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton(sport) tracks that are already done for which I appreciate, could you please do it on the other tracks shown in the template at the bottom of the article. Your use of tables is a whole lot better than mine. Thanks. Chris (talk) 23:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Foreign Relations of Canada
I have reverted your deletion of the flag icons on that template because you didn't say why you think this change is warranted. I like the flags and it is consistant with virtually all the other navboxes of this type, why should we change? Kevlar67 (talk) 03:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If there is a consistant policy to remove the flags from the others of this type I will glady follow along, and will start removing them from some of the others. However, I think we should consult WikiProject International relations first. Kevlar67 (talk) 19:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Favour?
Hey Circeus, it's been a while! I'm going on holiday for about a week and I was wondering if you could do me a bit of a favour. I just looked at the article Tsuga canadensis and discovered that some egregious changes had been made by every plant person's favourite editor (I'll let you guess). If you look at the history you'll notice that the said person removed English units, altered citations in what I see as an unhelpful way, and even made a second ecology section. I saw these changes as having a negative impact on the article. The first part of the favour would be to compare the current revision with the previous ones to see if you agree with me (and if not to make changes accordingly if you have time). The second part would be to ensure that my hard work in fixing it back up doesn't end up being reverted in my absence (assuming you feel my edits are helpful). So if you could add the article to your watch list and keep an eye on it, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks! DJLayton4 (talk) 17:37, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Gyromitra esculenta favour
Hey Circeus, if you have a minute, this page in French is by a mycologist and I was wondering if there was any extra info to be gleaned about its usage in Europe which wasn't already in the Gyromitra esculenta article. English can be pretty lousy sometimes WRT fungi coverage....Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:57, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
