Note on recent categories
Hello, Dinote;

Thank you for your work, but it is generally not thought to be necessary to make categories for subjects with only a few articles: see here for example. Also, fabrosaurs have been abandoned by practically everybody except a researcher or two in China, as Fabrosauridae is paraphyletic and poorly defined. J.

Those old birds!
Hi, thanks for your effort! Two points of note: 1) you might want to consult Fossil birds for the placement of taxa (for example Torotix - we'd be glad if it were a flamingo; at present we can only say it was an aquatic bird and it was not a duck or grebe or Hesperornithes or Ichthyornithes. 2) Rather than writing, "it lived ... mya" use "it lived during  (... mya)". For example, Torotix is based on a single partial humerus which can be quite confidently assigned to the Late Maastrichtian - and that's not even in the range you gave. From my experience, the average prehistoric bird species existed for perhaps 2 million years at most.

Thus, by using the more indirect way to put the date, you'll avoid those mistakes. Also thanks for using the "Cretaceous birds" (etc) categories! I'll add taxoboxes and stuff, and it helps me find the articles. Dysmorodrepanis 19:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Ornithischian categories for deletion
Hello, Dinote;

I've decided to put Category:Fabrosaurs and Category:Heterodontosaurs up for deletion. The discussions are at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_August_19 and Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_August_19. Please feel free to comment. I think that the heterodontosaur category in particular has its uses, but it's very small and has little growth potential. Have a good day! J. Spencer 19:28, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Piksi barbarulna
Check it out. I have read the papers, and I don't think there is much more that could be said about it. Dysmorodrepanis 21:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Template speedy deletion
A tag has been placed on Template:Lead toys, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

No disclaimers in articles

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. HokieRNB 18:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Your usepage
You recently placed the finger on your userpage. I've removed it because it's rather inappropriate. We are here to build an encyclopedia, not to insult each other. Have a nice day, Maxim (talk) (contributions)  21:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
