Good evening,

Have you published your Poulpy, Barbare Blanc translation? --Dereckson (talk) 01:41, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Heya dude/dudette. I dont see why you deleted the article on this fictional plant explaining that its from the story a scanner darkly. Cyclotron (talk) 00:12, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Correction on Plagiarism Dispatch
Thanks! A very important distinction to make. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:03, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for helping
Thank you for helping with the move from Gobioides Broussonneti to Gobioides broussonneti. However I noticed you then moved it to violet goby. Please move it back, as wikiproject aquarium fishes has very specific rules stating that a fish article should use its scientific name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drew R. Smith (talk • contribs) 21:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * meh. It appears I was wrong. I could swear i did see it in there but I could be mistaken. It would make more sense to use scientific names though due to the fact that dragon goby refers to both G. broussonneti and A. phaelena, Dragon Fish refers to both G. broussonneti and P. eques, and Violet goby refers to both G. broussonneti and O. visayanus. It seems using Latin names wold clear up this confusion. Alas, I know you are not the person to talk to about changing WP:AQF's policies.Drew R. Smith (talk) 22:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have personnaly heard all of these fish refered to by many different names. Part of the problem is petstores selling them under fake names to romanticise (sp?) them. Disambiguation would be good, however these are all out of the mainstream and I do not believe they have a page created yet. As I said before though, I shoud be taking this up with WP:AQF, which I am in the process of doing right now.Drew R. Smith (talk) 23:31, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh my God, no offense but you sound like a robot or security guard or somthing. I never said petstore labels were reliable sources, and have made scenes in the pet stores for having fish labeled improperly. What I did say however, was that many fish have many names that are commonly recognised by the public due to petstores mislabeling. Drew R. Smith (talk) 09:48, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just found it (I knew I wasnt crazy)! On WP:AQF our aticle naming is deffered to WP:FISH where they say that the common name is the defaut article title IF there are not multiple common names for a species, or if multiple species use the same common name. I think Gobioides broussonneti fits both profiles and should be moved accordingly.Drew R. Smith (talk) 09:48, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Bergh-Stoutenburgh House
I wrote the list entry based on the NRHP nom, which says it's the only nom, but later I came across the other source, which clarifies that there's another one. I will appropriately amend the list. Daniel Case (talk) 03:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Iridaceae
Ok!...and good editions in both families, now I am trying to complete the taxonomy of Amaryllidaceae. Regards! --EnCASF (talk) 16:06, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Circeus: go ahead with all the corrections and explanations you consider important for the article. I'll agree with them since I am learning a lot...it's a completely new environment for me! (and my excuses for the orthographic or syntaxis errors, even though I am learning english since I was 5 years old -a lot of decades ago- it continues to be a headache for me :-). I am glad that you have the time and interest to correct the article. Cheers! --EnCASF (talk) 22:02, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I acknowledge your message in my page. It indicates me that there exist enough space in W:EN to continue editing on plant articles. On the other hand, it reflects that you are a good guy (an exhausted good guy :-). Finally, it would be a pleasure to work with you in order to improve this (and others) articles. So, at least for me, nothing has happened here.... All the best! --EnCASF (talk) 16:02, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * OK!, I corrected (hope!) the taxobox in Crocoideae. --EnCASF (talk) 16:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * A minor stuff: don't you think that it would be better that the image in the taxobox, when it is possible, corresponds to the type genus?, A crocus flower in Crocideae, an Iris flower in Iridaceae? --EnCASF (talk) 16:26, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Amaryllidaceae
Hi Circeus!, have you any reason to change the cladogram in the article?. Thanks! --EnCASF (talk) 03:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ouch!!, it is my fault...part of the text were old...and I did not want to delete it immediately....and it continued surviving...The cladogram reflects the current knowledge of the phylogeny of the family...I will check the latest papers but I'm pretty sure that there are no polytomy. WOOWW, I am surprised about your job (and your knowledge!!). Thanks again and I will check and comment you about this issue.--EnCASF (talk) 03:47, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Tiny copyedit request
Hey Circ, can I ask you to just look over the Description section in particular of Australian Magpie, for any prose-massaging? Been asked to get an independent set of eyes and this'd be much appreciated thx +++ :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:07, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Synonymy for Pseudoryzomys
In fact, new combinations are commonly given in the way I did in mammalogical synonymies (for example, in Gardner's first volume of Mammals of South America). Note that there is a colon between the name and the authors to indicate that the name is not new. Ucucha 06:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Featured_topic_candidates/Gilbert_and_Sullivan
I'm sorry, but you clearly haven't even looked at the articles in question: Gilbert and Sullivan is the main article on their collaborations, and covers all 14 of their operas (with 12 of the 14 being given their own header [Utopia and Grand Duke are usually discussed together when overviewing their work]). You are basically asking for another article covering ground which is already included. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 184 FCs served 02:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Cihuateteo
Now I am confused..was it you who had some interest in Aztec material as well? If so, do you have any sources for Cihuateteo? Mainly for just quickly referencing a [edit] Pre-Columbian Americas section in ghost (is my memory totally failing me...) Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Templates
I didn't actually create the new template - I just discovered the discrepancy when I was going over that set of articles. Making things more confusing, a handful of them had a manually-created campaignbox included as part of the article. As for merging the two, it would probably have occurred to me sooner or later had it not been one in the morning, and had I not been half-asleep at my desk. :-) -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I quite agree - it's a fascinating series of battles for me to study, as I know comparatively little about World War I and less about the war's involvement of the African continent. That's what led me to the campaignbox in the first place. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Taschereau Bridge
Just to let you know that the reason for the disambig hatnote linking to Île d'Orléans Bridge had to do with the fact that, when I googled for references about the bridge in Vaudreuil, it turned out that a lot of ghits are actually about the Île d'Orléans Bridge, which they name Taschereau. Apparently, it's the official name, though few people know it. I didn't know that myself just a week ago.

"Taschereau" alone usually refers to a freeway-downgraded-to-suburban-boulevard in Brossard, which doesn't even go close to either bridge. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:25, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Apology
No problem. I am just glad to see someone has noticed 2nd Arizona Territorial Legislature existed. Articles dealing with Arizona history or politics of the late 19th century usually don't get much foot traffic. --Allen3 talk 23:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Circeus
I haven't said "glad to see you active again" but I am and now I have. Thanks for your interest in the Otomi language article - I don't think our difference of opinion about transcription should keep us from letting the article advance - it is a minor detail and as I have said I don't mind if someone is bold and change it to consistent IPA - I just don't want to do it cause unlike with Nahuatl where I felt confident in retranscribing orthography into IPA, I don't know enough about Otomi phonetics to evaluate how to represent it in IPA. However I noticed your experiment with the short Otomi poem - you managed to put the diacritics on the vowels! That was excellent - i don't know how you did it, but wouldn't you please do it to the other text pieces as well? And if it is possible could you use the hacek (Caron) for rising tone instead of circumflex - that is what Lastra actually uses I just couldn't find a way to to that. Oh and BTW I never see you around the zbb anymore? ·Maunus· ƛ · 00:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi again. Could you work your diacritical magic in the new section I've written on syntax? Also, regarding transscription I have taken a middle way - I use IPA in the section on phonology (basically every time something is in brackets) and I use the practical orthography for the grammar sections where the examples are given without brackets. This is similar to the way most other langauge articles are written - using standard orthography outside of the phonology description. Hope this is not a completely detestable solution for you.·Maunus· ƛ · 02:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Displaytitle
Why are you running around adding this to hundreds of list articles? There has been no consensus for the use of display title that I am aware of, indeed the last discussion showed clear consensus AGAINST this action. I do not see that you participated in that discussion, so please explain what you are doing and why. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 17:59, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Seconded. I was coming here to say the same thing. The only RfC I know about on its uses was non consensus leaning against for anything not a species/genera. I strongly urge you not to make mass edits changing this, as there is no consensus to implement this. If there is and I have missed it I apologise and would appreciate you providing a link to it. Best wishes, Rambo's Revenge (talk)  18:07, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Not to worry. I only really knew about the RfC because I had questioned an earlier use of italic titles through the Taxobox name template. Discussion on this has been rather fragmented, so if you are interested here are some previous discussions. Best, Rambo's Revenge (talk)  18:29, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Snow buttercup
Hi Circeus,

I noticed that you moved Snow buttercup to Ranunculus nivalis stating that this is the naming convention. Would you be able to direct me to this guideline? I had been under the impression that the titles of species articles should be the most commonly used name.

Thank you,

Neelix (talk) 02:52, 3 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Circeus,


 * Thanks for directing me to the appropriate guideline page. There's a lot of things on that page I hadn't realized about flora naming conventions! On an unrelated note, did you take your username from the Battle of Circeus? Just curious.

Colin Ferguson (convict)
Hey Circeus. It appears that you were looking over the Colin Ferguson (convict) page, which I've been making some major edits to recently. I'd ultimately like to work it up to FA status. Right now, as you could probably tell, I'm basically going through all the New York Times articles and adding content. Later I plan on going through other media sources (will probably swap out some NYT sources for other papers at that point for some variety), and then will move on to books and whatnot. Do you have any early thoughts, comments, criticism, etc? I'm a bit concerned right now that I might be overwriting, and including too much detail from the NYTimes stories, although I figure if I am that it's a problem I could easily alleviate later. I'm still early in the work on this one, but any preliminary advice you could give would be appreciated... —  Hunter  Kahn  ( c )  22:43, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing you're referring to the block quote and the paragraph underneath it? Yeah, that is a bit of the remnants from the article before I started working on it. I'm planning on replacing that and everything in "Trial" with more information, although I did add citations to most of the Trial section in the meantime. How about the stuff prior to that "Removal of Kunster and Kuby" bit? Do you think I'm including too much detail or overwriting? Or do you think it's an appropriate amount? —  Hunter  Kahn  ( c )  23:06, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
