treebumblebee.expert thewasp.expert
Hi, MJL May I assure you the two websites I posted were not meant to be spam indeed I am against people spamming. The reason I posted the pages was to show people another perspective one from the pest control industry and personal interaction with the insects. Indeed if you visit the websites you will see there are no adverts on the web pages nor will there be any adverts on these websites, just personal observations.I do not make money from these websites they cost me money and time. It is all well and good having something universally accepted, but a chance observation can put a different slant on the behaviour of these insects. The wasp expert page features videos never seen before and very informative to the viewer. One video about the Great Pied Hoverfly is absolutely unique (I filmed it and have only found one vaguely similar video on youtube) and would be of great interest to anyone interested in wasps. I feel I have a lot of knowledge on these insects and am merely trying to pass this information on to interested parties. Having stated my case I fully respect your decision to remove the pages but I feel if only one person gained some knowledge from the pages I have built that would be good.

 * I appreciate your respectfulness, Paulio21! You certainly might find Expert editors to be extremely helpful. Wasp Nest Removal: Wasps Hatching and your other videos could be a great addition to the encyclopedia, but I recommend you publish them under a Creative Commons license so we may bring them here. I really recommend you publish this any other original content you might have under a free license at Wikimedia Commons. You may also join WikiProject Insects/Hymenoptera task force and other relevant groups to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of these topics. Just remember to cite your sources! :D &#8213; MJL  -Talk-☖  20:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

bombus hypnorum
Hi MJL I have just viewed the bombus hypnorum page and under the heading Mating Behaviour it states the following There are two parts to mating: approach and copulation. First there is the approach part where the male checks out the female. The male would approach a queen and then hover in the air for a few seconds using his antennae to inspect the female. If this male is the same species, then he will land and continue inspection using his antennae. The male mounts her by using his front legs on her abdomen and then mounts from the rear. Then he attempts to copulate with her. Females have a mandibular gland that releases a pheromone that the males react to so that they will know of their receptiveness. Males use their legs to tap on the abdomen of the female for a few seconds in ten-second intervals. I have actually seen the mating behaviour first hand on many occasions, and it is nothing like what is described, the male just pounces on the female as soon as she leaves the nest, it is immediate, he has to beat up to thirty other bees trying to mate with her, the act is quite savage. This is only one aspect of my knowledge gained from viewing these insects in the wild. What is written on the page is not what really happens in my opinion. Regards Paul Paulio21 (talk) 16:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello again! If you find this is a case, you must publish your finding at a reliable magazine like this artice. There you may provide your insight to dispute the findings of the information from the 1978 article where the page's info is sourced from. Thanks! &#8213; MJL -Talk-☖  20:48, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Multi-IP SPI / Alan Sagner
Hi. Do you have any additional thoughts on the multi-IP SPI case you opened a few days ago? My personal thoughts right now are leaning toward closing this SPI without taking any action. Relevant factors, I believe, are (1) the fact that Alan Sagner did in fact die last week as claimed by multiple edits (albeit unsourced until now), and (2) the fact that the three IP addresses geolocate to widely separate parts of the world. If you think some important points may be getting overlooked, please feel free to expand on what you've already said on the SPI page. Thanks. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 19:07, 9 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello yourself, Rich wales, and thank you for reaching out to me. Nope! What I was just worried about was if this was connected to the user Long-term abuse/Cause of death vandal or other long-term abusers I hadn't heard about (or if this was proxies or fell along some other pattern, I don't know). With everything all set, you can close and archive the case. Though I have to admit, this editing Wikipedia pages to reflect deaths before WP:RS report on them is honestly weird. I have no clue how they are getting this information. Thank you for being an awesome Sockpuppet Investigations clerk! If there's anything you ever need from me, please don't hesitate to reach out again. :D

Frisbee regulation
I'm responding to your comment at Sockpuppet investigations/Wuzzy/Archive regarding frisbee regulation, providing additional information for your reference. A few years ago in the US, the FAA instituted a policy that required people who fly model aircraft to register with the FAA if they fly devices which weight more than .55 pounds outdoors. A flier took the FAA to court on the issue and the courts ruled that the FAA did not have the authority to require registration because congress had previously forbidden it from doing that. On December 12, 2017, President Trump signed into law a rule that reinstated that registration requirement. Although the media only focused on the registration of drones, the rule requires that any device weighing more than .55 pounds and flies through the air using aerodynamic lift is covered by the policy. This includes model aircraft, helicopters, boomerangs, frisbees, drones, gliders, or any other device that flies using aerodynamic lift. It doesn't include balloons or rockets, which are covered elsewhere in FAA regulations.  Sparkie82 ( t • c )  01:00, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

RE:Bot that notifies users on their talk page if a set of pages are created.
Hi there, could you please elaborate a little bit more about what you want to achieve? Where should the bot get the set of pages from? Thanks! --Gabrielchihonglee (talk) 12:12, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
