Speedy deletion nomination of Eumeella
A tag has been placed on Eumeella, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Sarama
Hi. Can you please take a look at Sarama? Though it has undergone a GOCE, it seems to need a rewrite as Mohini did, which you transformed in a good article. See Good article reassessment/Sarama/1. Thanks -- Redtigerxyz Talk 17:14, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Added template for SuggestBot
Hi,

Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.

We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.

We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 20:43, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Janice Stork


The article Janice Stork has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unsourced BLP whose topic fails WP:POLITICIAN

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 08:37, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

small
Hello, I unfortunately found some (such as ) of your formating actions redundant. Reasons are:
 * Small tags are generally accepted in taxoboxes for the purpose of saving space, because taxoboxes are usually slim.
 * Such reasons for taxoboxes are not valid for other text in the article.
 * Small tags does not have any feature in the text.
 * Small tags may cause some difficulties for some people. See guideline: Manual of Style (text formatting).
 * I think, that there may probably be some cases, when using some small text is useful, but definitely small text is not useful in simple list of species, when even parts of texts are easily distinguished with italics and non-italics. Thank you very much for your cooperation. --Snek01 (talk) 12:00, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Alrighty, here's what I'm gonna do &mdash; nothing. I've already made about 3,500 articles using this formatting and have neither the energy nor the patience to go back and fix them all. While the Manual of Style establishes a general rule for font size, I believe that this is in regards to regular article text (i.e., paragraphs or other blocks of text that are more expository in nature). This guideline allows everyday readers of Wikipedia to read the given text without the difficulty of adjusting to differing font sizes. I completely understand that philosophy. That being said, I do not believe that anyone is reading species lists in the same manner as general text. To me, having the authority information at normal size sandwiched between the scientific name and common name(s) is aesthetically unappealing. If the reader actually wants the authority information for a particular species, they are probably not a regular leisurely reader and can adjust accordingly. I have read your suggestions and respectfully disregard them under the guidelines laid out in WP:BOLD. If you change any of my edits back, then I will neither stop nor argue with your decision, but rather continue trying to incorporate as much information as I can into the Wiki. Cheers!

List of islands of Estonia
Hi, just contacting you regarding your recent stubs on the subject. Is there anything notable for each of these areas that you can add rather than leaving them as stubs? Having the list is usually sufficient and if there is anything notable on a particular island then it can be added rather than just having a mass of stubs. &#0149;martyx&#0149; tk ct gy 16:55, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Crabs
Please consider updating your sources before editing crab articles. It costs me a fair amount of effort to come along after your editing sprees and update them. There are good and freely available sources on crab taxonomy both online and in print, which allow us to be comprehensive and up-to-date, and avoid awkward things like "Selected species" sections. Please note that all modern sources treat Crustacea as a subphylum (and that the link should ideally be to crustacean). --Stemonitis (talk) 19:00, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You're absolutely right. I've taken your fixes and will be incorporating them into any new articles. Thanks! NielsenGW (talk) 19:14, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * One thing I forgot. Most of the obvious sources (WoRMS, Systema Brachyurorum) only list extant taxa. You should be aware that several of the genera in Xanthidae (and elsewhere) also have fossil representatives. The best reference is De Grave et al. (see Speocarcinus), which at least tells you the number of fossil species, but doesn't identify them. --Stemonitis (talk) 19:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Help wanted! :)
Hello NielsenGW, I recently stumbled onto a great new source for moth genus articles. It is a database containing the complete taxonomy for the complete Pyraloidea superfamily. I already started adding info from it to wikipedia (I updated the taxonomy section on Crambidae and will continue with Pyralidae. I was wondering if you would be interested in helping out adding species to the genus articles, since you have shown an interest in similar work in the past. The database can be found at http://globiz.pyraloidea.org/Pages/Reports/TaxonReport.aspx. Cheers and any help is greatly appreciated!Ruigeroeland (talk) 18:40, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
