Fat choy
Thanks for help at the esoteric subject of fat choy. Should it be called "bacteria" or "bacterium"? Badagnani 16:27, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Rock tripe
Hi, it's true song-i-beo-seot is expensive in Korea, but song-i-beo-seot is matsutake, not rock tripe. In Korea, I think rock tripe is used in Sino-Korean cuisine. (Examples of Sino-Korean cuisine include jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. I'm not sure if jajangmyeon uses rock tripe.) --Kjoonlee 04:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry, my mistake. I thought rock tripe was mog-i-beo-seot, but it's seog-i-beo-seot, like you said. It does seem to be expensive (200 grams of North Korean mogibeoseot is sold at around 13 USD), and the amount found in tangsuyuk does seem to be low if my memory is correct. --Kjoonlee 04:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Lichens
Thanks for the lichen work, and the most excellent picture of Cryptothecia rubrocincta. I think I may try for a FA push on that article now. I hope you don't mind if I expand your new genera additions and submit them to DYK for some main-page exposure. Sasata (talk) 18:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you liked the photo, it was an exceptionally striking lichen. I would be delighted if any lichen got FA status, and DYKs would be great.  I have access to a variety of lichen resources, let me know if there is anything I can help with.Millifolium (talk) 01:34, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Lichen would be great to get to featured status–high traffic article and top-importance for the fungi WikiProject. I've been chipping away at it every now and then, but it will be quite a bit of work. C. rubrocincta isn't too far off, I just have to put in a few hours of library time and ensure everything's up to code. Anyway, your new lichen articles are excellent, and I'm very happy to see them added to the encyclopedia! Sasata (talk) 15:59, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Leptofoenus pittfieldae
I saw the comment on the my DYK nomination for Leptofoenus pittfieldae. Im not certain what information you think is not relevant to the article, could you give examples? I didnt include the other genera in this article as it is not something generally done with species level articles that I have seen. I will create a genus level article at Leptofoenus to encompass the general information of 5 living species and the extinct L. pittfieldae. --Kevmin (talk) 05:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and should be written for a general (although educated) public. Things like the accession number of the one specimen, and a detailed description of the exact wing venation aren't particularly useful.  Given that almost nothing is known about the species, some background on the genera is necessary, otherwise you are not really saying anything about this species except that it exists.  For instance, I can't tell from the article if Leptofoenus pittfieldae is the only species of Leptofoenus, or merely the only species that there is a fossil record for.  This makes the article very confusing.  I found the article very confusing and tried to make it more clear, but you reverted my edits.  You have since corrected a couple errors, but it still needs work to be understandable.  I have tried again to edit it, see what you think.  Millifolium (talk) 06:23, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I will task a look and I would ask in return that you look through some of the articles on taxa known only from the fossil record as these are what I have been basing my article creation on. Accession numbers, especially for species known from a single specimen are notable and thus should be included. I would suggest we take the issues to the article talk page and see if we can reach some compromises.  The lack of general information is to be expected since there is only the type description to work with.--Kevmin (talk) 06:32, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I think that there is more information in the paper you are citing that could be included.  How about a little bit of background on the extant species?  Even one sentence would be great.  I've got to go to bed, but I'll look at this again tomorrow. Millifolium (talk) 06:47, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I couldn't help to butt in when I read this to give some examples of taxa known only from fossils (or partial fosssils): try Noronhomys and Hadropithecus :-) Sasata (talk) 06:49, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sasata, those are awesome articles! Although perhaps not a fair comparison, as I'm sure there's a lot more information available on those taxa, more people seem to care about vertebrates, unfortunately...  I think that the newest incarnation of the L. pittfieldae article is a vast improvement, it includes a species description and the relevance of those characters instead of just seemingly random and very confusing wing details.  Good work Kevmin!  If you have time, could either of you review my submissions for DYKs from March 6?  They are Dictyonema and Pseudocyphellaria.  I've never submitted before, so I'm not sure how it works, but I'm thinking that if they don't get reviewed by day 5 they get dropped off the list?  I suspect that I can't review the Nephroma DYK for March 6, conflict of interest and all, but that's a great hook that you found Sasata.  Millifolium (talk) 07:27, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about the DYKs, once they have been submitted, they are "safe"; someone will review them eventually. The 5-day thing refers to the article age: articles have to be submitted or expanded within 5 days of creation or expansion. Sasata (talk) 15:47, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Millifolium. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Millifolium~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Assistance with Dibaeis baeomyces article
Hi there. I recently created the article Dibaeis baeomyces about the pink earth lichen. I used several cited sources for basic information about the lichen, but I was stymied when it came to paraphrasing some of the details of the plant's appearance and growth habit. I can't paraphrase words I don't fully understand, and there are a lot of technical terms used to describe the anatomy of lichen. I was hoping you might be willing to flesh out the Appearance section of the article.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am hoping to nominate this article for DYK, something I see you do also. If you do contribute to the article I would of course credit you in the nomination. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer this science-loving non-scientist. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 21:59, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Lichen task force
Hi Millifolium: I don't know if you ever check in here any more, but in case you do, I'd like to invite you to join the lichen task force – a new subgroup of WP:FUNGI. We're aiming to improve coverage of all aspects of lichenology, and are keen to attract knowledgeable contributors like yourself. Feel free to drop by the task force pages, or to ping me with any questions. MeegsC (talk) 16:35, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
