Image permissions
I took a quick look your upload log - some of the images I could verify I moved out to Commons. I decided to move on to other, older images that need my attention more, but the following image I ran across have issues with verifications/permissions: I noticed a lot of your free images have been uploaded recently - I just respectfully ask that in the future you upload them directly to Commons. They're going to end up there eventually, and you save a lot of work by volunteers like me by putting them there in the first place. With respect - Kelly  hi! 03:54, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * File:Ancistrochilus.jpg
 * File:Iris-versicolor.jpg
 * File:Miltonia 'Aquarius'.jpg


 * The File:Ancistrochilus.jpg came from this website (now on archive.web) : and with this authorisation : Commons:Authorization to use material from http://www.larsen-twins.dk. Their files are accepted on the Commons e.g. Commons:File:Cymbidium pumilum larsen-twins 01.jpg (this is one among the many). Their website has been for a long time one of the rare suppliers of photo material about orchids to wikipedia. I've written more than a hundred articles about orchids, and I was glad that I could use those photos.
 * As to the recent uploading to en.wikipedia of a number of public domain photos of gastropods from http://www.biolib.cz, this was done because at the time I didn't know that the license PD-author|name also applied in the Commons There are about 2,500 photos to upload from this website and I've uploaded already more than 500 (I've stopped counting them), first in the en.wikipedia and then in the Commons (Commons:Category:Images by Jan Delsing). The ones remaining in en.wikipedia are gradually being moved to the Commons, whenever I come across them.
 * And as to those photos of leave shapes, they're copyright violations. My bad. I wonder why I hadn't noticed this then. I'll delete them right away. On second thought I found this text on the archive.web of Tripod   : "Our Image Gallery has over 10,000 images for your site. All free and all easy to add. Choose from photos, clipart, and other essentials like backgrounds and buttons."  They even tell you how to add those images to your own website . But this doesn't constitute enough proof to match our present license policy.  JoJan (talk) 14:38, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 * I've sent today a new request for authorisation under the CC.attribution 3.0 - unported license to the Larsen brothers in Denmark. JoJan (talk) 16:55, 3 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I have trouble contacting them. My email bounces back every time. Their new website www.orkidebilleder.dk is a 404 (See also ). It is available on web.archive.org : but their website hasn't been updated since December 2007. I suppose they have gone offline. Sending a mailform through this archived website is impossible. I'm a bit stuck. JoJan (talk) 19:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Least Chipmunk1.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Least Chipmunk1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Kelly hi! 23:23, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Toolbar hacks
Beste collega. De oude toolbar was eindeloos aanpasbaar en gedocumenteerd op Wikisource. Dankzij het Wikipedia Usability Initiative echter, wordt men als gebruiker standaard aan de vector skin geholpen (no real problem) en in Special:Preferences onder Editing aan de “Enable enhanced editing toolbar” wat wel degelijk een beta feature wordt genoemd en ook is (problem).

Die beta toolbar is in feite poepsimpel aan te passen… als developer dan.

Ik heb een aantal ugly hacks geprobeerd om die nieuwe toolbar te beïnvloeden, maar het systeem was duidelijk niet onder de indruk.

Momenteel zijn er vier opties:
 * de beta toolbar uitschakelen in de preferences en de oude toolbar aanpassen, piece of cake
 * geduldig wachten op / zoeken van de betere hacker die de beta toolbar fnuikt
 * betere hackers aansporen om versneld de beta toolbar te fnuiken
 * developers aansporen om te documenteren hoe je als gebruiker de beta toolbar aanpast

Ik verwacht van een Wikipedia Usability Initiative niet dat ze de beste keuzes voor elke gebruiker maken, ik zou het echter wel appreciëren mochten ze duidelijk en vindbaar documenteren hoe je de keuzes kan personaliseren…

one Phymorhynchus
Hello, was there any content in deleted article Phymorhynchus cingulata? If yes, I request for renewal, if no, I will start it with some content. This was no surpisingly spelling error. Thanks. --Snek01 (talk) 14:07, 22 January 2011 (UTC) That is strange... we need more refs for it. I will try to verify it. --Snek01 (talk) 14:15, 22 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I found a double entry in WoRMS : Phymorhynchus cingulatus (Dall, 1890) AphiaID: 434618 and Phymorhynchus cingulatus Warén&  Bouchet, 2009 AphiaID: 458597 . To find out what had happened, I sent an email to WoRMS. Shortly afterwards, I received an email from dr. P. Bouchet with an explanation : " These are two taxonomically valid different species, but Phymorhynchus cingulatus Warén & Bouchet, 2009 is of course nomenclaturally invalid because it is a secondary homonym of Phymorhynchus cingulatus (Dall, 1890). Our oversight in our 2009 paper. Warén will publish a correction in due course".
 * I've deleted the last entry awaiting a new epithet for the second species (Warén& Bouchet, 2009). The epithet for the first species (Dall, 1890) has been changed by dr. Bouchet in WoRMS from cingulata to cingulatus on 7 September 2010 (in accordance with the concordance of gender). This was brought to my attention while checking the list of species in Phymorhynchus, during my checking of Phymorhynchus  species in the list "unaccepted" of Ganeshbot. The species (Dall, 1890) is also accepted under the same name ending on -us in gastropods.com . The species  Phymorhynchus cingulatus Warén&  Bouchet, 2009 has been entered by dr. Bouchet himself as such in WoRMS, while his paper states Phymorhynchus cingulata. Now the best thing we can do is to wait for a revision of the name. Then the newly named species can be entered validly in our article in wikipedia. JoJan (talk) 20:08, 22 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Good work! I have added the info to the Phymorhynchus article. I have added also a question to PLoS One, which species is mentioned in 10.1371/journal.pone.0011967 to be sure also about this one. Interesting. --Snek01 (talk) 21:32, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Help with Vandal
Hi. Similar to the Rumi page (thanks for listening), I would like to inform you that similar revert war is going on in the Avicenna page. Apparently, someone with an IP address has been trying very hard to undermine the integrity of a page that complies with WP:RS and pushing his POV. I'm concerned that the page is under serious attack because of this distortion campaign. And, since I'm opposed to edit warring and the IP user has been given a decent explanation by another user about his/her disruptive editing, I think it's about time to inform you about the situation and why I think it's important to take preventive measures against what to me is a clear sign of history fabrication and POV pushing.84.23.140.55 (talk) 12:43, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Nassarius etymology
Hello, I noticed you recently did a lot of work on the Nassarius page. I was wondering if you know of the origin of the word "Nassarius" - its etymology/ what is it named after?Michaelwild (talk) 18:29, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The name is derived from the Latin word "nassa", meaning a fyke (a bag-shaped fish trap) (fyke being derived from the old Dutch word "fuycke"). From what I remember from my Latin lessons a long, very long, time ago, Nassarius would then mean "someone using a fyke". Hope this helps. JoJan (talk) 18:45, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Editing Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None): Translated
Actually a simple google search shows that the subject of this article was trivially easily to determine: It was a narrative translation into standard English of a Snoop Dogg song "Editing Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None)".

This is almost certainly not suitable for an encyclopaedia like ours, but it was not speedy deletable. Thryduulf (talk) 18:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I would like this undeleted as, looking at the deleted text, I think it is possible that it could be converted into an encyclopaedic treatment of the song. AfD is the proper place for this, not speedy deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 18:18, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this out. I simply had no idea as rap is not my cup of tea. Even as a "translation", this would mean that this is a copyvio and falls under CSD: G12. If you think that you can improve the article and give it an encyclopaedic treatment, then I'm willing to undelete it. I trust that you can circumvent the copyright. But I recommend to that you do so in a sandbox of your user space. Give me a quick answer because I'm about to call it a day. JoJan (talk) 18:27, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Rap isn't my cup of tea either, but it was explicitly linked as an example of when a long article can be an A1 speedy (see WT:CSD). I don't think it is a copyright violation as it isn't a straight translation, but more a descriptive narrative of what is happening (based on my quick reading of the actual lyrics). I don't have time to do anything now, but I am always keen that speedy deletion only be used when it is actually allowed to be. Thryduulf (talk) 18:30, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with your strict interpretation of the rules of CSD. But I still think if this wasn't an A1 then it certainly was a G12. But this is an academic discussion leading nowhere. Even in AfD it would have been deleted right away as WP:OR. Anyway, if you want to give this article an encyclopaedic treatment later on, give me a sign and I'll undelete it and move it to your sandbox tomorrow or whenever you like. Cheers.

 * I'm still in the process of updating those articles. It takes a lot of work. Furthermore, all the photos in the Commons about former Strombus species have to be edited and relocated in new categories etc.  JoJan (talk) 09:06, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

We Are Defiance
Hi JoJan,

are you able to remove the article about We Are Defiance in my Articles Room? Tomorrow the band will release their debut album at Tragic Hero. Goroth (talk) 18:06, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Can you give me a link to "We Are Defiance" ? And what do you mean by "remove" : 1) moving to the main space or 2) deleting the article ? JoJan (talk) 08:49, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Of course: We Are Defiance German Amazon store, WAD Official MySpace and Tragic Hero Records Official. I don't know how the guides of notability are. Many band's articles I wrote and saved at en:WP were deleted. Sorry for my worse english language :s. If it is possible (the band pass notability) please put it into the main space if it don't reach notability at the moment please put it at User:Goroth/We Are Defiance. I just want add that WAD toured through the USA with Get Scared, Dr. Acula and I Am Ghost. Singer Brian Calzini and ex-A Day to Remember guitarist Tom Denney are friends till going on High School. Goroth (talk) 16:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * We don't put copyrighted material in wikipedia (such as from the above links), not even in your own user space. If you want to write in your own words an article about this group, open a new sandbox in your user space and try to follow the rules of Notability (people) and give reliable secondary sources (review articles, well-known magazines, ...) as reference. Then you stand a good chance of your article being retained. JoJan (talk) 17:25, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Okay, by time I will start a new article. Thank for helping me. Goroth (talk) 18:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Delete?
Hi JoJan, I see there is a disambiguation page for "Chocolata" as a specific name for three gastropods. I think some of us agreed a while ago that these particular disambiguation pages are worthless, since specific epithets are never used by themselves, especially not with a capital letter! If you feel it is appropriate to delete this page maybe you can do so? Thanks, Invertzoo (talk) 17:10, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've deleted the page as a CSD G6 (housekeeping : unnecessary disambiguation page). JoJan (talk) 17:43, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks JoJan! Invertzoo (talk) 23:26, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Disruptive edits
Dear JoJan. I would like to notify you that a user with clear POV has been flooding Iran-related articles, here on English Wikipedia, with irrelevant scripts that have nothing to do with Iran. Despite his unwillingness to change this disruptive behavior and despite his disregard of others who have reverted his edits, he continues to insert Azeri Latin alphabets in articles that fall outside the scope of Project Republic of Azerbaijan, especially since such alphabets are not used in Iranian writing system. Because such Azeri Latin alphabets have been added to more than one article that fall outside the scope of Project Republic of Azerbaijan, I consider such edits to be WP:VAND. But, I have no interest in edit warring, unlike the person in question who forcefully pushes for irrelevant alphabets on different WP pages and keeps reverting in an endless loop.

Here is a pattern:, , , , , ,

Notice that none of the articles above are in in any way associated with Project Republic of Azerbaijan. I simply don't think giving weight to Azeri Latin scripts, as he has been doing, on an article that falls outside Project Republic of Azerbaijan is justified, especially as such alphabets are not used in the Iranian writing system. Thank you.84.23.140.55 (talk) 01:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC)


 * However problematic, this isn't a case of vandalism but of content dispute with one person pushing his own opinion. I cannot find any rules regarding the use of disputed spelling in a foreign language, except Naming conventions (use English), where it states "The native spelling of a name should generally be included in the first line of the article" (bolding by me). It seems to me that the native spelling for Farah Pahlavi is the spelling in the Persian language. If the dispute goes on, you can always request outside input at Requests for comment.

Engelstalige Wikipedia, La Esterella
Hey Sonuwe, ken jij iemand die goed Engels kan en ook op de Engelse wikipedia zit? voor daar het Engels te verbeteren, ik heb die pagina daar gemaakt maar mijn Engels en het google translate Engels zitten natuurlijk fouten in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Esterella

bedankt Klodde (overleg) 18 apr 2011 20:01 (CEST)
 * Beste Klodde, JoJan die ook heeft bijgedragen aan het artikel over La Esterella is zelfs overwegend actief op de Engelse Wikipedia. Bij hem ben je aan het juiste adres. Groeten, 18 apr 2011 20:46 (CEST)

bedankt ;) Klodde (overleg) 18 apr 2011 21:20 (CEST)

La Esterella
Hello JoJan, Please take a look at La Esterella. The initiator User:Klodde had written a message on my dutch talk page to find a contributor who can correct the article that he started on the English Wikipedia. Of course, you were the first person in my mind (contributor to the dutch article + very active here on the English Wikipedia + my English is not that good). Best regards, Groeten, Sonuwe (talk) 19:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * See also above. (bewerkingsconflict). Sonuwe (talk) 19:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I have edited the article. JoJan (talk) 16:15, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Walraversijde
Hi JoJan. Recently I wrote an article on Walraversijde using English sources. I've just noticed that it was you who uploaded the excellent images, and that, way back in 2005, you wrote a longer version of the article on the Dutch Wikipedia using the original Dutch sources. Would you be interested in collaborating some time, and taking the English version to GA or FA? --Epipelagic (talk) 09:08, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for noticing my work on the nl.wikipedia. I've visited this marvelous museum several times as I live close by. As a result of my photos on the Commons, a few years ago I received an email from a historical society in the USA, asking for more close-ups of clothes and shoes, as they wanted to reproduce them in an exact manner. My article on the nl.wikipedia is very complete and I have thought of proposing it for featured article in the nl.wikipedia (I already have several). But since this has taken in the past so much of my spare available time, I decided not to give it a try (as I've declined for several other articles). As to your question : I'm willing to help you achieving GA or FA for this article. But I'm not a native English speaker. The MoS is not my cup of tea. The best I can offer is a translation (partial or complete) of my text, so that you can work on it to improve it. I also possess the books (in Dutch language) : (Kightly, Ch. et al,.2003) - Walraversijde 1465 (van archeologische opgraving tot daadwerkelijke reconstructie) and (Marnix Pieters et al.) : Oostende : stadsvernieuwing en Archeologie. If you need more information, these books will probably provide it. JoJan (talk) 16:06, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That's great. I'll come back to this later. I'll try to look after the MoS side. I don't think you need to translate the Dutch article, since the Google translation seems to do a remarkably good job. That should be workable, so long as I can ask you to clarify some ambiguities and check a few things. A significant issue is that the Dutch article does not have inline citations. Do you have access to digital versions of the original sources you could make available to me? --Epipelagic (talk) 11:38, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid none of these books in Dutch language are online. Anyway, if you need any help clarifying some issues, just ask. JoJan (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Move request
Williamia (gastropod) -> Williamia. It is not a valid homonym. If is is a synonym of a plant, then for will be applied. --Snek01 (talk) 20:59, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. JoJan (talk) 14:21, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks.

Stanleya (plant) -> Stanleya

And then can be applied. --Snek01 (talk) 17:15, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Refused. There is already a disambiguation page for Stanleya. JoJan (talk) 17:27, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Umbilicate pebblesnail -> Clappia umbilicata. This scientific name is more often used than common. --Snek01 (talk) 22:03, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

New DAB page for snail species epithet Eucosmia
Hi JoJan, This disambiguation page was recently created a few days ago. I explained the reasons against doing this kind of thing and the editor has agreed to have it deleted. The discussion is partly on the article talk page and partly on the user's talk page. Do you agree that it is not a useful DAP? Should it be listed for deletion? Is that how this is done? Invertzoo (talk) 19:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The disambiguation page has been deleted under "G7. Author requests deletion". JoJan (talk) 16:07, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Punctuation, using a colon?
Hello JoJan, I just wanted to explain that in English we do not leave a space before a colon, at least not for the last 2 centuries. Instead it goes like this: no space is needed. Also if you are mentioning the common name in the intro of an article, you don't even need to put in a colon, you can just say, "Jojanus wikipediensis, common name the Wikipedia jojan, is a species of sea snail..."

OK, thanks and best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 22:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this out. We do use a space before a colon in Dutch language and I assumed this was the same in English. JoJan (talk) 19:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It used to be the case in English 200 years ago, but not any more. I don't know when it changed. Thanks, Invertzoo (talk) 14:16, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Melanatria -> Madagasikara
 * I've made the move to Madagasikara (gastropod), as Madagasikara was already a redirect to Madagaskar. As I cannot see the whole article but just the abstract, I've to put my trust in your having studied the whole article. You have to clean up the text of the genus (authority ?) and the articles about the species (taxoboxes, authority etc.). JoJan (talk) 08:14, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Nice one!
I like the new article you created, Lip (gastropod), a good idea! Invertzoo (talk) 14:17, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It was getting on my nerves that I couldn't make a link each time I mentioned "outer lip" in a description. It was certainly an article missing in the Category:Mollusc anatomy.JoJan (talk) 14:34, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
