Nice spider article
Good to see your article at Philoponella congregabilis; we need more spider editors. Keep up the good work! If I can advise or help in any way, leave me a message on my talk page. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:34, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your remarks. Sorry I misidentified the spider image previously attached. I've seen community nests of Philoponella congregabilis nearby, but mistook the spider for the similar Zosis geniculatus. I'm currently searching for an opportunity to photograph Philoponella congregabilis. No success as yet. They are mostly brownish in colour, not grey. There's plenty of spiders here nearby which need articles. I'll get proper ID from the Australian Museum next time. Filikovalo (talk) 01:55, 11 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, spider identification is often difficult, and I'm doubtful of quite a few images in Commons. In most cases you need to look at a dead specimen with a binocular microscope. I have to say that even then I can't always match what I see with the diagrams in books! So if you can upload reliably identified spider images, it would very useful to the project.

Stink bug australia listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Stink bug australia. Since you had some involvement with the Stink bug australia redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Pam D  09:20, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

There are many types of insects in the world known as "stink bugs". The common name "bronze orange bug" is not common at all, and in my experienced never used by Australian gardeners. The purpose of this redirect is for Australian users to find information regarding this insect. Without it (and the scientific name), there is little or no way for an Australian enquirer to find the page. They would need to go to a web browser search for "Australia" and "stink bug", then find the scientific name, and then put that into Wikipedia. In other words, without this redirect, the potential readers may never find this page. There's too many different non Australian references in Wikipedia for "stink bug" for the average user to find the correct page. If a Wikipedia editor is aware of a better way for an enquirer to find Musgraveia sulciventris, then please employ it on Wikipedia. Remember, that the average user would not know the scientific name and would not be aware of the term "bronze orange bug" Filikovalo (talk) 01:38, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Eucalyptus brunnea
Hello Filikovalo,

Thanks for your work. The edits you have written to the species Hibiscus macilwraithensis, Dillwynia elegans, Hibiscus tozerensis, Gossia floribunda and Stenocarpus davallioides, are great articles and all are listed as accepted names by the Australian Plant Census ("APC"). (Only Gossia floribunda is accepted at the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families("WCSP") because that list only includes "selected" families.) However, I do not agree with your last edit to Eucalyptus deanei.

The only hope we have of working out which Australian species are "accepted species" is those two lists, APC and WCSP. Eucalyptus brunnea is not listed in either of them. I appreciate that you have contacts at the National Herbarium of New South Wales, but the website "plantNet" has not been updated for many years. It is one of those "outdated references on the internet" to which you refer. The botanists you refer to may say "Wikipedia is "very poor" in not recognising this species" but we have to rely on a published authority and the authority is the WCSP or the APC.

It is true that The Plant List includes Eucalyptus brunnea as an accepted species but clicking on the link (record 72573) returns Eucalyptus brunnea as a synonym of Eucalyptus deanei, the same result as for the APC.

In your edit to the Eucalyptus deanei article you have included the phrases "many leading sources" and "other scientists" without identifying any of them. In your references, you listed:
 * Dean Nicolle, but without any published reference to your claim that he supports E. brunnea as a separate species;
 * Ken Hill at the RBGS, who retired 14 years ago;
 * "Joel Cohen, Gavin Phillips and others at the New South Wales Herbarium", but that is not a reliable source because their opinion is not published (see WP:CS);
 * a reference to the Australian Plant Name Index ("APNI") but it lists "all names, whether current names, synonyms or invalid names" and at present, E. brunnea is a synonym.

If there is something I have missed and you have reliable, published references for your claim, please let me know. (Here is fine.) Gderrin (talk) 10:52, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Since you have contributed to other articles without responding to this, I hope you will not object to my removing your reference to "many leading sources" and "other scientists". Gderrin (talk) 07:37, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Halfordia kendack
Hello Filikovalo,

I noticed your edit to Halfordia kendack (thanks!), so thinking that page is probably on your watchlist I'm advising as follows. Halfordia kendack is the only species in the genus Halfordia according to the Australian Plant Census and Plants of the World Online (although there are problems with the latter, since it lists the distribution as New Caledonia, not Australia!). My intention is to swap the pages Halfordia and Halfordia kendack, then create a redirect from the latter to the former so that there is only one page about Halfordia, that describes the one species (as required here). It's a tricky process. Just asking for your patience until it's complete. Gderrin (talk) 03:59, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

OK, I started that article under a different name. I'd be wary of your sources. I go by the National Herbarium of New South Wales. They are the authority on this species. Unwise Wikipedia editors have made errors with NSW plant species. Such as Eucalyptus brunnea, which is an accepted and correct species. Editors use references are out of date and incorrect.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Josepha Duschek into Bella mia fiamma, addio. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:04, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bella mia fiamma, addio


A tag has been placed on Bella mia fiamma, addio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://mozartschildren.wordpress.com/2010/11/03/bella-mia-fiamma-addio-3-november-1787/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Mccapra (talk) 12:25, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Request for peer review help
Hi Filikovalo. I hope you are doing well and staying safe during these times! Apologize to bother and posting a random request. I have just started to work on a stub (Fontainea Venosa) (the one you created a while ago!) and had added some sections. I am trying my best to get the article to B class hopefully. Knowing your expertise, I would love if you can help me to review and left a comment on what I can do to improve my edits. I hope that this is okay, but no pressure if you are busy. That is completely fine and understandable :) Hope to hear from you soon. The article is Fontainea Venosa

Thank you so much :) Sparklingkull (talk) 06:18, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your excellent work on Fontainea venosa. I tend to write stubs in Wikipedia, and don't often try to enlarge them or get them upgraded myself. Your best ally in getting assistance is getting in contact with the editor Casliber. He is most experienced and helpful in these matters. I see he has already made edits. Good luck.Filikovalo (talk) 01:25, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Citing the Australian Tropical Rainforest Key (RFK)
Hi Filikovalo, just a heads-up for you. I notice you've created some articles recently which cite an outdated version (i.e. edition 7) of the RFK. Edition 8 was published late last year, and you can find it here. It only has a small number of changes to ed.7 but I imagine that some time in the future the older version will be taken offline, so ed.8 is a better source to use. Cheers — Junglenut &#124; talk 00:11, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

About Balta (cockroach) - move to Balta (genus)?
Hi Filikovalo. It would appear to me reasonable enough to move this to its name as a genus rather than a more generic term "Cockroach", which includes any number of other ordos, families, and genera. Your thoughts about this? Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 10:10, 28 September 2021 (UTC).
 * Yes, a good idea. Please do so.Filikovalo (talk) 21:21, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Reminder
Hi Filikovalo. I'm reminding you about my earlier post on this page about citing the Australian Tropical Rainforest Key as I've noticed you created a new article for Larsenaikia jardinei and cited the outdated version of RFK. Please refer to the latest edition of the key when adding references, for reasons which should be obvious. The link to RFK v.8 is in my earlier message but I'll repeat it here - RFK v.8 — Junglenut &#124; talk 14:49, 30 October 2021 (UTC) Hi, I don't mind what reference I use, as long as the information in it is correct. Filikovalo (talk) 21:14, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Your reply indicates a lazy and simplistic approach to your editing method. When we cite a source that has a succession of improvements, the most recent version is the obvious one to use. If you don't understand that you shouldn't be editing. — Junglenut &#124; talk 13:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC) You have been reported. Your remark is incorrect. Filikovalo (talk) 02:22, 2 November 2021 (UTC)


 * It appears that RFK7 has now been taken offline as predicted, so the point is now mute. It may still show up in searches for a little while but there will be no info available in the links provided. So again, please refer to RFK8 for any Australian tropical rainforest flora.

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Filikovalo, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AFilikovalo added] the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Hi @Filikovalo, the subject page which you created today (10 March 2024) contained two wiki templates, i.e. Template:Use Australian English and Template:Use dmy dates, and both of them were dated September 2023. Maybe this is because you used an earlier saved version of your new article, or maybe you're using a local template for new pages. In either case, please check your edits/creations prior to publishing them and ensure that all details are correct. Cheers, Steve Junglenut &#124;Talk 13:32, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
