Welcome to WikiProject Plants!
 Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Plants! Our scope includes any and all taxa of plants, botanists, and botany topics. We're glad to have you working with us on our project!

A few features that you might find helpful:
 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * We discuss our project frequently at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. You can [ watchlist it] to keep up with the conversations.

Here are some easy ways you can contribute:
 * Images: There are articles that need images. You can search Wikimedia Commons for images. When you find one, add it to the Wikipedia article in the taxobox and remove the "needs-photo=yes" parameter from the project banner on the talk page of the article. You could also help identify plant photos on Commons.
 * Taxobox: We also have articles that need taxoboxes. See the taxobox usage guide for information on how to add a taxobox. When complete, don't forget to remove the "needs-taxobox=yes" parameter from the talk page banner.
 * Stubs: Consider expanding one of our stubs or create one of our requested articles.
 * Assessment: You could also help assess our unassessed articles.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page or the project at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Dipterocarps
Thanks for the fixes on the Dipt pages. The plan is to get all Dipts onto Wikipedia (and check the ones listed there – as there were/are a few synonyms) and link these to IUCN redlist pages. Some Dipts are currently not on the IUCN redlist - however, Ashton (2004) lists them as endangered/vulnerable – so is it okay to use this source? I could check with Peter to see why he didn’t include them on his IUCN assessment and get confirmation from him as to their status. After that I then hope to try and sort out the Dipt biology/general information and have a range of photos (mainly Sabah Dipts) to upload.

I’m off to a conference (Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation – Asian Chapter) in Kuching, Sarawak in April 2008 and was wondering if you want to promote the WikiProject:Plants there – thru a poster presentation. In general the pages covering tropical plants/ecology are fairly bare (with the exception of the Durian page) and could do with the input of a few tropical biologist.

 * No problem. I wanted to thank you for your contributions there. You're beginning to fill in an area we sorely need to. Fantastic stub creation. I just made sure there were stub notices and categories. Keep up the good work! On the poster presentation, perhaps that's something you could bring up at WT:PLANTS and see what other editors think. It might be a good idea, since a lot of academics view Wikipedia as unreliable. And sometimes it is, but that's all the more reason for more academics to get involved! Anyway, go ahead and propose the idea to the other members of WP:PLANTS and see what they think. If you ever need my help with anything, just ask :-) Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 02:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits to Shorea
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Sepilok2007! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule ref=, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

 * Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 01:34, 18 April 2012 (UTC)|}

Knowledge of Dipterocarpaceae
Hello, How are you? I need your help. I ask you if you could enlarge Dipterocarpaceae making better known this group of trees in Wikipedia, adding links to "Dipterocarpaceae" and information about  "Dipterocarpaceae" existence on topics as trees articles in tropical articles or botanical or biodiversity articles. Do you know people that could be interested about Dipterocarpaceae article? They are welcome too. Thank you very much. Curritocurrito (talk) 11:20, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Botany in tropical trees
Hi, How are you? I thank you by your help with dipterocarpaceae. I am not an english speaker native, I speak spanish. I think that this article is good, but I ask you if you can enlarge it. Some answers are and some topics, could be similar to Lauraceae article, but I don't know about it. I will happy if you use more information in dipterocarpaceae or you show me these pdf to enlarge the articles related with dipterocarpaceae. Thank you very much by your help and collaboration.

Elaeis summarizing Social and environmental impacts
Hi Sepilok2007, I've made another try at the Social and environmental impacts summarized text for the Elaeis article. It includes some peer reviewed articles as references and I've also made the other changes you mentioned. Now that it's ready, I'm just letting you know so that you can review again. Thanks in advance. YellowOwl (talk) 13:46, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi again, Sepilok2007, I'm still looking a review of the revised version of the request I posted a few weeks ago on the Elaeis talk page and also for a new request on the Palm kernel oil talk page. I would appreciate your input if you have time to spend on either or both of these. Please let me know if you have any questions. YellowOwl (talk) 21:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Palm oil requests
Hi Sepilok2007, having been busy on other projects for a while, I have recently returned to working on the topic of palm oil and thought to reach out to you again. Last week I left a request on the Social and environmental impact of palm oil page for two changes there, introducing new information and supporting references, and suggesting the replacement of out of date information. These requests are again on behalf of the Malaysian Palm Oil Council, so I will not make these additions myself. Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks in advance for your consideration of my request. YellowOwl (talk) 20:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi again Sepilok2007, the above request has been resolved but I have posted a new revision here. This request addresses the Sustainability section of the same article. I have also left a message with Sminthopsis84, who has helped on previous revisions. I see that you haven't been active lately, but I would appreciate your review of this new text if you have a few minutes to give. Thanks. YellowOwl (talk) 19:43, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
