This happened today between editions, I use still the same IP from very long time, never heard about any proxy. Maybe the webpage was reloaded too frequently or someone is manipulating my internet connections ? Darekk2 (talk) 12:06, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Help me with my articles!
Excuse me, my articles about Prolagus oeningensis, Prolagus imperialis and Prolagus osmolskae are very stubby and rather "underdeveloped". I have found info on them, but it is rather hard to understand and so cannot explain it in the articles. Can you please, please, please find some info and extend those articles? I know you must know loads about lagomorphs, so give it a go. Also try to make the articles Prolagus apricenicus and Prolagus crusafonti. --Scottishwildcat12 (talk) 21:24, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * There are more articles about species of Prolagus genus now ... I don't know to much about them. Fossils of Prolagus oeningensis are probably most frequent, maybe in other cases maps are not needed. Perhaps I will look at that some time. Thank you for this information.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Not vandalism
No, my edit at Bird feet and legs was not vandalism; it just had a typo ("the" spelled "tthe"). The point of the edit was that Wikipedia frowns on pointless wording like "It is worth noting that ...". I'll put my edit back in without the typo. Loraof (talk) 16:55, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You replaced ". It is worth noting that the" by "; tthe" Darekk2 (talk) 17:01, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * That's right. In addition to getting rid of the unneeded phrase, I connected the two sentences with a semicolon because they are closely related. Loraof (talk) 19:48, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, but semicolon is used rarely, that is not good style. Darekk2 (talk) 20:14, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know where you got that idea from, though I did read an article one time saying it's less frequent than it used to be. Certainly it's used in formal writing, such as in an encyclopedia. It is good style; it links together two thoughts that are more closely related than would be implied by two separate sentences but not closely related enough to be joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
 * Incidentally, your sentence "Yes, but semicolon is used rarely, that is not good style." needs a semicolon instead of the second comma; it's stylistically incorrect (not just bad style, but proscribed style) to use a comma between independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction. Also, your use of "semicolon" requires an article before it, either "a" or "the".
 * Cheers, Loraof (talk) 23:23, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of mammals of North America north of Mexico


The article List of mammals of North America north of Mexico has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "We have List of mammals of Canada, List of mammals of the United States, and List of mammals of North America. I don't think this division adds anything useful."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fram (talk) 16:43, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Nomination of List of mammals of North America north of Mexico for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of mammals of North America north of Mexico is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished. Fram (talk) 08:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Lunar distance periodicity
Dear Darekk2,

I saw your graph using data from 2014 in the Wiki article on "Lunar distance" where the highest-minimal distances seem 7 months apart (late April to late November) whereas the 700-day graph by USER:Sch shows about a 6.3-month (192-day) periodicity for minima & maxima. Do you know what years USER:Sch used for his plot?
