Good Article sweeps: Great Pyramid of Giza
Hello, I am reviewing Archaeology articles as part of the WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force GA sweeps. I reviewed Great Pyramid of Giza today and placed the article on hold for a week to allow for my concerns to be addressed. I am contacting you because you have been a major contributor to the article and may be able to help. The reassessment can be found at Talk:Great Pyramid of Giza/GA1. Please get in touch or comment on the reassessment page if you have any questions. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Why did you remove my picture? That is vandalism. Tharnton345 (talk) 07:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * May I just note that it is NOT vandalism, this user has been cautioned about this kind of confrontation before. Wikipedia is collaborational and not a democracy - if someone thinks a picture does not make the grade for an article, it is perfectly reasonable for them to remove it. If there is a conflict of interest as there is here, it goes to discussion. Please remember this when you discuss the matter. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 13:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Mgiganteus1, I request you follow your own advice. I started a discussion on the talk page about how to best convey that Tokyo is not all urban and added the top photo as a way to convey that. I noted that you did not enter into the discussion on the talk page and unilaterally removed the image that you "found distracting". Please remember this when you discuss the matter. Not sure if you've even been to the Tokyo area (where I live) but I feel it's important for people to understand that who have an interest there. I will re-add the photo and feel free to discuss it on the talk page where it belongs before removing it.

Iluvatar (tree)
Howdy. If you get a moment, could you buzz on over to the article Iluvatar (tree) and also Lost Monarch. An anonymous user removed some reference material, and I reversed their edit, as they did not use the discussion page. I did modify a slight bit of the page, since external resources text changed. slightly. Would like another user - BradLuke22 I think - to chime in, since they are zealous of redwood stuff. But recalled your name, and thought at least a third person's feedback would be useful to promote using the discussion area beforehand. Thanks. ThreeWikiteers (talk) 23:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Great white shark caught in Seven Star Lake in 1997.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Great white shark caught in Seven Star Lake in 1997.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Robocop_versus_The_Terminator_box_uk.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Robocop_versus_The_Terminator_box_uk.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:20, 17 September 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 02:20, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Matrix rain.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:Matrix rain.PNG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Duplicate Image:Nepenthes densiflora distribution.gif
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Nepenthes densiflora distribution.gif, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Nepenthes densiflora distribution.gif is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Nepenthes densiflora distribution.gif, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here''' CSDWarnBot (talk) 00:11, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

George Veitch
Hi - I note from the edit history of Nepenthes veitchii, that you added the statement "(after George Veitch, nurseryman of the Veitch Nurseries)" in May 2006. Can you confirm that this is correct. I am currently endeavouring to create/expand the articles about the Veitch family and can find no trace of a "George". He's certainly not mentioned in "Hortus Veitchii", nor can I find him anywhere else after a Google search. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 12:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ramlan Omar
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ramlan Omar, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image tagging for Image:Aliens unleashed.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:Aliens unleashed.PNG. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Hi there. The image File:Moroteuthis robusta.jpg was deleted due to a misunderstanding.

Necking
I supported it because I did not know what necking was. Now I do. I watched it for half an hour. The only thing I see at the picture in the article are two giraffes staying next to each other. Where is necking? They do not even touch each other.But whatever who cares about EV as long as the image is "clear"? Best regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It only means that he did not see one. As I said I watched it for half-an-hour maybe more. I thought they were male and female engaged in courtship, and then zookeeper explained to me what was going on. Never for this half-an-hour they were staying like at the image, which is in the article now. BTW here what necking is about and what my image is showing, but as I said who cares about EV here, right? Best regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Nepenthes sharifah-hapsahii
Most authorities recognise that this is a not a true species, but a hybrid; is there any guidance in place to suggest how entries such as this are dealt with on Wikipedia?

Stew McPherson's new book is shortly going to press; in it, we update the species list (to 120), but a couple of taxa on the Wikipedia list are no longer considered valid. As the most active CP member, perhaps you have some experience of such cases already? Attenboroughii (talk) 07:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Urgh, you'll love this; I just searched through the manuscript to locate the N. sharifah-hapsahii reference only to find that it hasn't been included - N. naquiyuddinii and N. zakriana have. Oh dear, talk about missed opportunities. Still, it may have crept in after handover, so we'll just have to wait and see.


 * I understand. Yes, your summary is about right; N. globosa should probably never have been entered in Wikipedia since it was never published - Shigeo himself decided it was just an extreme form of N. mirabilis. Nonetheless, it is treated as an unknown taxon, N. sp. Phang Nga, and may yet be described - I wonder whether there is room for partially known taxa here? Plenty of information is provided to flesh out entries about the concerned taxa, but perhaps it'd be overkill in a public encyclopaedia prior to official clarification. The rest of the bin list is correct; N. naga would have been on there, but we decided that without being able to observe material, we have to give the authors the benefit of the doubt, even if everything about it screams N. bongso (which Charles C. has recorded bifurcated apical appendages in, probably from the same locality). Thanks for your response!  Attenboroughii (talk) 16:21, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Excellent proposal; that looks like a good way of doing it and makes the distinction clear. Also, good news; we found a space in the hybrid section for a single sentence that clearly identifies N. sharifah-hapsahii as a hybrid - just in time to make printing this week. It appears on page 1181. Cheers! Attenboroughii (talk) 08:32, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes indeed; N. gracilis and N. mirabilis are specified as its parent species. Attenboroughii (talk) 11:54, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Octopus
I'll not argue too strenously about Octopoida since I'm not an expert but I do note that while the page you cite does indeed list 1817 for Octopoida (nice find!) ... all of the references the page itself refers to gives the name as Octopoda and 1818 Leach ... Octopoida seems to be the German term for Octopoda ... seems like everyone agrees it's Leach for the classification and the original English reference give 1818 as the date ... it's not my field, it's only one year, it's about octopuses and I don't have the original sources so I'll let it go!

Nepenthes IDs
Hi Manders, thanks for bringing those to my attention; a lovely spread! You're spot on with N. peltata and N. micramphora, but the "N. copelandii" look to be N. mindanaoensis (the former has not been recorded from Mount Hamiguitan, and unless indicated otherwise, all these photos seem to have been taken there). There are some interesting strains of N. alata on the same mountain, and there is much introgression between the two species, giving rise to swarms of plants with intermediate characteristics; this is well illustrated here. A couple of the stout-peristomed N. alata may be hybrids with N. peltata, but it's hard to say from these images alone. The first lot of books are due tomorrow; if you have one on order, look for the hybrid section for one of the most startling natural hybrids out there - N. peltata x micramphora - very beautiful indeed! Attenboroughii (talk) 11:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Oops! Sincere apologies; I was multitasking between Wikipedia and a forum thread and crossed wires. I can appreciate why you'd think it was N. copelandii, but to be honest, without seeing the upper pitchers, it's often difficult to tell them apart. I see that the leaves may be petiolate (but they're dead and may have curled), which is unusual for N. mindanaoensis, but as with many of the species in the N. alata group, there is considerable overlap where populations occur together Attenboroughii (talk) 16:30, 14 June 2009 (UTC).

Locus classicus
This article was receiving over 100 hits a day as I recall. It was therefore achieving greater interest than most well written and produced but obscure articles on cephalopods. I assumed its removal was because it was like a wiktionary entry but when I went to Wiktionary it was nowhere to be seen. I do not think simply removingh an entry for "locus classicus" is a sensible mopve. Modify it, move it or whatever - but delete, no. Could you let me know why this was done (please reply on my page).

And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be difficult; I think AFD (and all Wikipedia) should involve a healthy debate between intelligent people, not just fighting. Anyway, I agree that you're right about the difference between verifiability and notability, but I think at least a passing review at the General Notability Guideline indicates that it passes. 1) Significant coverage. It has received significant coverage, not only in the press but in other sources. (Heck, the journal article itself indicates this, as this article is more about the study than just the article.) 2) Reliable I don't think anyone is questioning that. 3) Sources The sources are secondary and reliable, and there are multiple ones. 4) Independent of the subject I've deliberately not cited the actual article as it is not independent, but there is still no shortage of sources. And of course, #5 is Presumed, which is the one we're debating now at AFD. —  Hunter  Kahn  ( c )  01:27, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Blue Whale
Hi there,

I've just processed a semi-protected edit request on the Blue Whale article, and I turned down the request.

I'm not an expert in the topic area, therefore I looked at major contributors to the article that were active, and hence found you.

Please could you check my response to the request, and see if my comments were appropriate - in Talk:Blue Whale.

Many thanks,  Chzz  ►  06:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

(I don't watchlist pages, so please drop me a note on my own talk or something, cheers)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Nepenthes sharifah-hapsahii.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Nepenthes sharifah-hapsahii.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Taxa naming
I was just about to point out the same thing. In addition, the taxon described in the article should be in bold in the taxobox and please take care when copy/pasting articles to ensure that all fields have been substituted as appropriate. I'd also be cautious with using a source as old as Flower (1962) when it comes to matters of cephalopod taxonomy. There has undoubtedly been a great deal of research subsequent to its publication. mgiganteus1 (talk) 22:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Noted and I'm returning to all articles to do as you mentioned. Isn't having an article posted (where there was none) better even though the source, in this case Flower, is dated and have the framework there for another editor to pick up and continue?

Propagating misinformation - aka. Heliamphora ionasi
Hello there, and happy new year! I've lately had cause to turn my botanical eye towards the Heliamphora, and notice that Heliamphora ionasi is incorrectly written as Heliamphora ionasii everywhere on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I also note that this error has crept into Stewart's Pitcher Plants of the Americas, which is now one of the best references on the genus - I didn't edit that volume, don't look at me! To double check, I have today had a look at Maguire's description, and at the type specimens at Kew Herbarium (still there as of this afternoon - splendid collections to be sure) and confirm that the spelling with only one i is the correct one; it may read unpleasantly in English, but in botanical terms, the name is fine and ionasii invalid. I am certain that Fleischmann will also confirm this as being the case. Attenboroughii (talk) 17:49, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for seeing to this; I wouldn't begin to know how to move an entire page to a new name for starters. The move might not be a popular one, but I hope sense prevails. Cheers, Attenboroughii (talk) 18:33, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Cyathea
I see that several years ago you were doing a lot of work on Cyathea. You decided to group everything under that genus rather than segregating Alsophila and Sphaeropteris. I'm wondering why you didn't use those genera, which I think are justified, for organization if nothing else, but I think they're cladistically justified. jaknouse (talk) 03:42, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I don't know if you still maintain List of giant squid specimens and sightings, but I noticed your name all over the article history. I left some leads and references at Talk:List of giant squid specimens and sightings for you to peruse to see if you can use them. Two more recent sightings, one from September 2009 that looks really good, and a recent one from yesterday that notes that last week they were being caught "by the hundreds" off the coast of California.

Hi there. I posted here re mechanisms for achieving italic titles. I broadcast to WikiProject Arthropods participants to get a consensus approach that could be applied on all articles within the project. I didn't get a huge response as it happens, so I went with the approach that had the limited weight of support (reasons given). I am several hundred articles into the task, but have noted your reversal of a change. I don't want to get into an edit war over it, but perhaps you might have a read of what was discussed and offer your thoughts re preference. Cheers. Heds (talk) 00:32, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Category:Nepenthes
Something I've been mulling over - what do you think about updating the way I have  arranged? Individual pages sorted by lowercase species epithet, synonyms recategorized in. Thoughts? Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 15:35, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, and forgot to mention, I'd be more than willing to take this one so you wouldn't have to do all the grunt work. And what would you want to do with the hybrids? Sort them in under ×, or create a new subcategory for them, e.g.  or ? Rkitko (talk) 15:38, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

As you say, it comes from Cantley, R., C.M. Clarke, J. Cokendolpher, B. Rice & A. Wistuba 2004. This is not a problem, as I cite this source and my report, which also cites this reference. What is the matter? There is a copyright violation once a reference is not cited in its context.

Borneo peat swamp forests
Thanks, Mgiganteus1, for your edits to Borneo peat swamp forests. I see you put one in earlier on too. It does seem like an awful - astronomicla - lot of carbon (making me wonder whether it's worth pulling out plugs at bed time). I've added a few more citations, which I hope does the job. --Annielogue (talk) 14:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Going for Bathyteuthis abyssicola
I see we're both after something to say about Bathyteuthis abyssicola after the species has set blank for so long. You're right, Bathyteuthoidea is from the Tree of Life web project page. I'll have to see if the citation change applies elsewhere. Cheers J.H.McDonnell (talk) 01:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Bathyteuthis abyssicola
New page, fine by me, and I must say, well written. I had included the species description on the Bathyteuthis genus page and was working on the other two species to have everything related at one place. Whether this or separate pages is the best approach I know is debatable. Cheers J.H.McDonnell (talk) 13:22, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Question on article
Hi, I've got a question about an article, you've been working on. In April 2008, you've edited the article about Cryptobiosis and added some information about the state of chemobiosis. Despite a long internet research, I can't find anything else about this topic. Have you maybe got some further information or literature for me? -Johannes Rieke 14:46, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Johannes. That's going back quite a bit - I made those edits 4 years ago (April 2006)! I can't remember exactly where I got the information from, but I think it must have been from the tardigrade Wikipedia article (article as it appeared in April 2006). Google Scholar doesn't seem to turn anything up, which does put this term into question. I will add a "citation needed" tag to the article for now and maybe see if I can dig up some references later.

New Nepenthes species
Hey, I didn't see this in Nepenthes, but surely you're aware of it. Just wanted to make sure, though, in case that one slipped by you. :-) Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 21:17, 4 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, egg on my face. How did I miss that? I have this vague recollection that there was a new species. Oh! There it is. Are you on McPherson's email list? He sent an email a while ago about another new species but it is not on the website yet. Heard of Nepenthes gantungensis? I still have the email and can forward it if you'd like. And yes, I saw Brian's additions to the Byblis article; I was going to take care of it, but I see you did. I recall a recent CPN article about the pulvini. I think that's fine to reference. Maybe if I get motivated I'll add back some of the info sourced to that article and we'll have to wait for the next publication for the new cultivar description. Rkitko (talk) 22:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep! The CPUK link has the same photos in the email. And yes, it's the Redfern list. I'll forward you the email. I received it on 6 March, 6 days after the CPUK post. He must have decided pretty quickly that it was a new species! Rkitko (talk) 23:20, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Columbus image
hello...I just wanna address your concerns a bit here. Since drive-by edit comments can't always give the explanation (by either your or me), I felt I should communicate with you here (and maybe on the Columbus talk page too).

first of all, your reason (main original reason) for removing that image was because you somehow considered it "purely decorative". I pointed out that that it's not ONLY "purely decorative" but contextually mainly COMMEMORATIVE.

that image is not just for show. Or "purely decorative", but is mainly contextually part of the Section of "Legacy", and is COMMEMORATIVE...as in the point of paintings and portraits of Columbus more recently.

Otherwise to be consistent, the other image right in the very same section should also be removed as "purely decorative"...the image of the "Replicas" of the three ships. What's really the point of THAT image then, if that's the case? The point is the same as the other image of the portrait of Columbus juxtaposed with his three ships, as pointing out the commemorative "legacy" of Columbus and his voyages. The image is useful and has no REAL need to be summarily removed.

That image has been there for MONTHS, with people appreciating and wanting it there (solid editors). The only change that was ever done to that image was by a reputable editor who simply changed what the caption said. No one (but you) ever felt the need to simply get rid of that image because of supposed "decorative" or "fair use" etc. WP Admins themselves never asked for that image to be removed from WP. The image should stay. It's interesting, commemorative, and fits fairly well in that specific section. I hope we can work this out, and see some agreement. I appreciate your consideration to this. thanks. Sweetpoet (talk) 19:04, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Concerning Nautilus clarkanus
Do you have any information or know of any place that has up to date information about Nautilus clarkanus, the Carboniferous nautilus? I've seen a picture of the shell, and it, in my opinion, looks drastically different from the modern species, but, I haven't found any information to suggest it's been synonymized as something else.--Mr Fink (talk) 12:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

NO valid reason to delete that image
why did you have to do that exactly? Why did you have to get THAT uptight about that particular photo, and try to have it deleted? It HAD rationale and tags for it, so what was your big problem with it? Why be so rude and uptight? You're the only one who has had an issue with that photo, and its placement in the article. What was the big problem with the picture? I mean, in general. What you did was NOT necessary, and comes off as a bit cold and rude and spiteful. (Just being honest and frank.)  The ONLY reason you did that disrespectful and spiteful thing was cuz you did not want that picture on that article. (Your reason for removing it was not valid, as it was NOT "purely decorative" but was mainly COMMEMORATIVE, fitting that particular section.)  And once you saw that I was not putting up with your uptight attitude and edit about it, you decided to (unnecessarily) have the thing deleted all together. What you did reeked of weaselishness. And was just plain rude. I'm uploading the image again anyway (at some point), with rationale, tags, etc...., and will simply put the image back on the article at a later date.

Again, what you did was NOT really called for. That image violated nothing really. Yet you somehow SPUN it that way. The image had sources and rationales for it, whether you personally agreed with them or not. It's not your place really to do that cold uptight rude disrespectful nonsense. I don't appreciate it. What you did I'm sure you did mainly out of spite. You PERSONALLY for whatever uptight reason did not like that image, so you went out of your way to simply remove it from the article, even if it meant deleting the image from WP altogether. NOT COOL. I'm just letting you know that at some future date (not soon) the picture WILL go back. thank you... Sweetpoet (talk) 01:30, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Mgiganteus1, I just wanted to write to note that the editor who wrote the above here on your talk page was warned recently for incivility (here is that noticeboard discussion and here is that warning and another and another) and was previously blocked for edit warring (here is that noticeboard discussion). He was also blocked for image upload issues (Sweetpoets block log), so it may be worth reporting if Sweetpot follows through on his reinsertion threats. Happy editing! Novaseminary (talk) 14:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, Nova...it's par for your course to chime in like that, and be the rude trouble-maker that you are, and harass me and stalk over my business that has nothing to do with you.  Hence why I told you off.  You like to run to people and get them in unwarranted trouble for this or that.  Stoking the fire, neurotically.   And show off your biases.  Leaving facts out, while exaggerating what actually does go on.   (then you wonder why I can't stand you....)  You notice that the Admin did not think you had a case overall though, didn't you. As for this case, which you AUTOMATICALLY think I'm wrong in, cuz you're not really objective we know, and you're also uptight like Mg is, so birds of a feather, well no one but him (and maybe you too lol) would have a problem with that image, and I merely stated (in strong terms that annoy you cuz you're hyper-sensitive in many ways, and I'm sure you'll report this too cuz that's what you do), that it was not warranted and it was disrespectful.    Kinda like the nonsense you do, sir. And even if he did have a warrant, that business is BETWEEN HIM AND ME.     NOT YOU, for you to butt in and be like this.


 * And what you're doing with me is bordering on harassment (against WP policy), as you show now that you won't leave me or my business alone.  But for some reason are creepily watching over me, to make things difficult, NO MATTER what the issue is, or whom with.   You got serious issues, bro.  Serious. No one's perfect.   I never had THIS much problem or aggravation or dis-heartening insanity with any other editor.   And believe me, I've had my run-ins. But not quite like you.   (In fact there are people I've had disputes with that I'm actually cool with and work well with...I never see that happening with you, cuz you just seem different, unfortunately.)  I TRIED to be cool and polite and reasonable with you, and civil, to some extent, but you chose to have this pattern and goal TO SIMPLY HAVE ME KICKED OFF AND YOU WOULD USE ANYTHING.  Real or imagined, big or small.   But I find something seriously disjointed and petty and mean-spirited in you.   Not cool, and not necessary. Anyway, like I said, this junk you did here, cuz you're a stalker type now with me, and you have me on your watch list no doubt (kinda creepy right there) is NO surprise, as I already knew how you were, from the get-go.

Orphaned non-free image File:Jack the Ripper- The Final Solution.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Jack the Ripper- The Final Solution.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. DrKiernan (talk) 06:53, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:3d construction kit 2.0 advert.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:3d construction kit 2.0 advert.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:18, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

It is my (perhaps flawed) understanding that the plural of "octopus" should be "octopi", when referring to the animal, in general, and that it should be "octopuses" when it is referring to different species of octopus. Is this incorrect?Mk5384 (talk) 04:06, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you removed the file because misleading composite image. Is there a way to find out in general if an image is composed? --IdaShaw (talk) 04:41, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Would you mind explaining this edit? I was especially puzzled by the edit summary. Per WP:BURDEN it is the editor wishing to restore material to a page who has to demonstrate consensus. Can you demonstrate such consensus? A full rationale in article talk for why you think the article needs 12 tiny Germany flags to illustrate the concept "Germany" would be a good start. See also WP:MOSFLAG. Best, --John (talk) 02:51, 13 July 2010 (UTC)


 * In fact, WP:BURDEN does not require the editor wishing to restore material to a page "to demonstrate consensus". What it requires are reliable sources. The article is replete with reliable sources in this case, as demonstrated here. Consensus would however be required if an editor wished to remove the flags. Such an editor would need to demonstrate why images of the flags have no relevance to the choices Paul made. --Epipelagic (talk) 05:19, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Colossal Squid Edit
Thank you for your recent contributions to the Colossal Squid article. Please do not remove template tabs without first checking with the source Project, in this case WP:CRYZOO. If you have any questions or disagreements with this template, please discuss on the source project's talk page here.-- Gniniv (talk) 10:10, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Source for Colossal Squid Article
I refer you to the WP:CRYZOO "scope" subsection, where inclusion of former criptids now accepted by science is applicable to the Wikiproject. As scientists are still learning information about the mysterious Colossal Squid it still qualifies as a largely "hidden" animal.

I agree that the Colossal squid is not considered to be a former cryptid by modern scientists. However, considering that scientists still know little about it and its habitat (the point I was making with the above source) the Colossal squid and its relatives are of interest to Cryptozoology, which is literally the study of "hidden" animals.-- Gniniv (talk)  11:12, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I do not wish to start an edit war (believe me, I've had plenty of experience with them) and I will stop attempting to add the template to the Colossal Squid article until your doubts are satisfied on its warranting inclusion.-- Gniniv (talk) 11:14, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Photo priorities?
Hey! So, this week is the ICPS conference and I'll be going. I was hoping to convince many of the participants to stand still long enough for a photo or two for our articles about them. I know Allen Lowrie and Stewart McPherson will be there; Siggi Hartmeyer should be there, too, and a photo would go nicely on the Drosera hartmeyerorum article whenever I get around to updating it. Available plants will likely be common, but just in case, what's your top priority for plant photos? Any Nepenthes articles that are imageless? Let me know how I can be helpful since this is a good opportunity. Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 03:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Not home yet, but the conference is over. I have so many photos to upload, but unfortunately few of them are new Nepenthes. I think I have some Heliamphora, Drosera and Sarracenia var. and subsp. ones that we didn't have before. Interesting, over all. I plan to write up a trip report and share it later. The most interesting part was the heated debate at the very end in a discussion over ex situ conservation and CITES permit requirements. Rob Cantley even reported that the N. clipeata project has failed, but I feel somehow that was more widely known that I realized. Allen Lowrie promised new Drosera species in the next few months and Fernando Rivadavia mentioned that there are more Genlisea species to tease out from those species complexes. Lots to look forward to. Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 12:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Evolution of Chinese from Homo Erectus
Dear Mgiganteus1,

Thank you for your good faith edits! I am a scientist and I would like to introduce to you the peer reviewed scientific evidence supporting a separate independent evolution of the modern Chinese people from an archaic form of Homo Erectus.

Please watch this: 1.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJnuMx8KD84&feature=related

Below I have provided the results of scientific DNA studies that provide strong irrefutable support for an independent origin of the Chinese from Homo Erectus. These scientific studies have both been published in peer reviewed scientific journals and are well received by the scientific community. Please take some time to read them and feel free to ask me any questions regarding human evolution.

New scientific evidence supports a partial Multi-Regional evolution of humans & the independent evolution of the Chinese from Homo Pekinensis, the Chinese species of Homo Erectus
Dear Mgiganteus1,

Thank you for your good faith edits!

As you probably already know I am a scientist specializing in the fields of anthropology and paleoanthropology and you must realize that I have no intention, never had and never will, of so-called "edit warring." While you and umerous other editors have been attempting to push their personal POV "that Chinese are indeed descended from anatomically modern African Homo Sapiens" on these pages despite the fact it is a disputed hypothesis and that those views are now being shown by peer reviewed scientific studies to be partially incorrect. While most scientists agree there was indeed an "out of Africa" migration of anatomically modern Homo Sapiens, NOT all humans alive today are descendants of this branch of humans. Many people in China are descendants of a separate species of humans known as the Homo Pekinensis, a separate species of Homo Erectus. And just like the Neanderthals evolved independently of African Homo Sapiens from their ancestor Homo Heidelbergensis, the modern Chinese also descend from their own species of Homo Erectus Pekinensis. Below I have provided you links with irrefutable scientific evidence showing that the Neanderthals in Europe interbred with African Homo Sapiens in much the same way that some Chinese Homo Erectus Pekinensis have interbred with African Homo Sapiens. This is supported by the fact many Chinese today carry uniques genes from archaic humans such as Homo Erectus Pekinensis, this has been published in peer reviewed scientific journals which I have provided links below for you to read.

Numerous Archaeological fossil studies and as well as the relatively recent genetic studies have shown that many modern Chinese people retain both the genes and their consequential phenotypic morphological traits, such as flattened faces, small frontal sinuses, reduced posterior teeth, shovel-shaped incisors, and high frequencies of metopic sutures, which are virtually absent in modern day European, Middle Eastern, and African populations but widely present in the modern population of the Han Chinese. This presents fossil evidence strongly suggesting a direct evolutionary lineage of the modern Chinese people from their ancestors of the species Homo Erectus Pekinensis. I would like to introduce to you the peer reviewed scientific evidence supporting a separate independent evolution of the modern Chinese people from an archaic species of Homo Erectus, specifically the separate species known as Homo Pekinensis. Below I have provided the results of scientific DNA studies that provide strong irrefutable support for an independent origin of the Chinese from Homo Pekinensis. These scientific studies have both been published inpeer reviewed scientific journal and are well received by the scientific community. Please take some time to read them and feel free to ask me any questions regarding human evolution.

3.) National Geographic Society Peking Man (Homo Pekinensis) Lived in China 200,000 Years Earlier Than Previously Thought

It is tempting to simply dismiss the new peer reviewed scientific evidence that contradicts the previously accepted "out of Africa" theory of human evolution where, supposedly, all humans were descended from the same group of Homo Sapien ancestors and which subsequently gives "strong support" in favor of an independent East Asian origin of a separate archaic branch or separate species of humans, the modern day Chinese people. But unfortunately, the reality of human evolution during the past 4 billions of life on our planet Earth is not as clear cut as the "out of Africa" theory attempts to address it. The "out of Africa" theory tries to say that "ALL" humans are descended from the same group of anatomically modern "Cro Magnon" or Homo Sapien Sapiens and while some of the older previous studies did initially seem to support that theory, those studies were not all inclusive and did not test many aspects of human genetics and evolution. But within the last few years, new genetic evidence has been discovered as a result of numerous scientific studies that have been conducted which lend a strong support for the theory that the modern Chinese people, or conservatively, a subpopulation of the Chinese gene pool are descended NOT from anatomically modern African Homo Sapiens like other humans on Earth, but rather that they are the product of a separate evolutionary lineage going back at least 1.8 million - 2 million years ago to Homo Erectus in East Asia. And that the modern Chinese people today are not necessarily classified as "Homo Sapien," but more accurately they could be classified as a highly evolved anatomically modern form of Homo Pekinensis. You must remember that regardless of whether we are talking about Homo Neanderthalensis or Homo Erectus that we are talking about human beings. And even though they are a classified as a separate species of human beings, nothing can take away their "humanity," for if one of them were dressed up in a modern day suit, they would still be recognized as "humans."

Please watch the evidence on these links:

1.) Scientific evidence from the Chinese Academy of Sciences 2.) All Non Africans Living Today Are Part Neanderthal 3.) New evidence that Neanderthals interbred with Humans

Adding further support to the Multi-regional theory of human evolution are the recent DNA discoveries that anatomically modern African Homo Sapiens interbred with Homo Neanderthalensis or the Neanderthal man, in direct contradiction to the thesis of the "out of Africa" theory which specifically states that Homo Sapien did not interbred with Homo Neanderthalensis and that the Neanderthal simply "went extinct." Which has now been shown in peer reviewed scientific studies to be untrue, and that the Homo Sapien and Homo Neanderthalensis did indeed interbreed with each other. These studies are additionally supported by previous archaeological finds that show skeletons of humans who show hybrid morphological and anatomical traits of both species of humans, both Homo Sapiens and Homo Neanderthalensis.

Please read the following evidence:

1.) NewScientist Neanderthal genome reveals interbreeding with humans 2.) Archaic admixture in the human genome, Neanderthal genes in modern humans 3.) Signs of Neanderthals Mating With Humans 4.) Discovery News "Neanderthals, Humans Interbred, DNA Proves" 5.) USA Today Neanderthals and humans interbred, fossils indicate 6.) BBC "Neanderthals 'mated with modern humans'" 7.) Official report Neanderthal/Homo Sapien interbred 8.) Cosmos Humans and Neanderthals interbred, according to our anatomy 9.) Neanderthals live on in DNA of humans

Suggested deletion of Giant Target
From everything I've read, the Giant Target page meets criteria for a page existing. In addition, there are myriad pages about bands that have far less information and references than the Giant Target page. All the information contained in the page is objective and supported by references and/or external links. In my opinion, common sense dictates that there is enough evidence to support the existence of this page. If you continue to contest it's validity, please provide more specific details.
