Do not remove my name from the photos I take of Beelmania architecture for Wikipedia or I will remove all my photographs and writing from Wikipedia and blow all my research and artwork from the site to the detriment of Wikipedia. You did not take the photographs or write the articles, I did. Be careful what you change, as you overstep your boundaries. I will be credited. I am a published photographer, and you will not remove my name from the photographs I take, or I will delete them. They are not yours, to do whatever you feel like to them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by mollylou12 (talk • contribs)

Ficus aurea
Well, figured you might be interested as it's another plant - anything you want to add/comment on/etc. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments (and your edits). As for quotes, the idea of using quotes on article titles never crossed my mind until I saw the the cite_journal template produce it. I've never seen quotes used around article titles in ecology or biogeography journals. Instinctively I go for whatever's closest to what I used in my dissertation, I suppose. (I don't like quotes around article titles. I don't instinctively put brackets around the year either). Guettarda (talk) 01:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, and regarding linking - I actually have major reservations about linking to JSTOR (since there's nothing available if you don't have a subscription), but on the other hand, there's the convenience factor for anyone who does have access. So I have very mixed feelings.  Guettarda (talk) 04:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

While Berg uses artistic license without quotes, Brummitt uses the quotes in the "Report of the Committee for Spermatophyta"; I followed Brummitt, but his usage probably was "scare quotes". As for the term "species complex", I was following Berg 2007, who labels is as a "species complex". Guettarda (talk) 21:43, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Sadly, Berg only uses "species complex" as the header for the section ("Ficus aurea species complex"). I spent a lot of time thinking about whether to use that terminology, and whether to link to the species complex article, since that redirects to cryptic species complex.  I' not a systematist, but usually when I hear plant systematists talk about "species complex" they use it for a group of plants that is variable enough that they have been described a group that may be a single variable species, or may be a group of related species.  This is really the opposite of "cryptic species complex".  I suppose the article(s) on species complex(es) need to be reworked and properly sourced.  Guettarda (talk) 21:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd prefer to leave it as it is. Species complex needs to be clarified, but Berg's mention is so "by the way" that it's hard to make much of it.  I need to have a look at this (since this appears to be where he synonymised F. aurea with the Central American species) but I don't have online access to it (and I haven't had a chance to make it over to the library to look for it in hardcopy).

Scenes à faire
You added a reference to the article Scenes à faire. But, you just stuck it at the bottom and didn't tie it to any certain part of the article. Could you tie it to the appropriate entry in the article? Thanks. IP4240207xx (talk) 05:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I moved it to: "Further reading".


 * Also, on the talk page, I proposed that the article page be moved to Scènes à faire. Opinion? IP4240207xx (talk) 06:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Puerto Rican Amazon
This little birdy is being worked up to FAC - wanna have a look and let us know what you think it may need? The nominator is a first timer at FAC and would be nice to get him off to a flying start :) Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Cas read my mind there, I was about to contact a copyeditor myself, I have worked with most, if not all of the issue presented, but copyedits aren't my thing :-/ P.S. if my math is correct this will be my sixth FAC without taking two FLCs under consideration, its the first of 2008 though. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H.

Request
I want someone to make a TOC(Tables of content) template for wikipedia like this. If you know how to make, then please put on your effort as it will be good for wikipedia and its users. *The image is an edited one*. I didn't find any template that would break or split the contents into half and put the other half on right side. This template will utilize the blank space and will make the contents table easily accessible without scrolling down. THANKS. Harryroger (talk) 12:26, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Featured list candidates/List of Chinese inventions
I have made a compromise for this article on its format. The first section, "Four Great Inventions", has sub-sections, but the "Other inventions" section has the bulletted list as you prefer.-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 02:37, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Featured list candidates/List of Interstate Highways in New York
I fixed the sorting, so could you take another look if you get a chance? Thanks, Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:43, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hoatzin
I recalled this was a word initially derived from...is this in one of your specialty areas? Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:57, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Template:Festiniog Line diagram
Sorry for delay in getting back on this.

I have corrected the area arounf Minffordd. As it stood I had merged two locations together - this is now corrected. The short stub is deliberately there as there is a break on that line for storing out of use wagons.

Your version 2 contains a massive error in that you show a Minffordd yard connection with the Cambrian. They are 2 different gauges - 4ft 8 1/2 and 1ft 11 3/4 - they never joined - there was a transhipment facility there. Other than that I may use the idea for the loops on mine when I get chance to.
