 * Oops sorry Wikiusers, don't know what happened there. Poor old Banks. I think I may have made some minor spelling correction and blanked the page by accident.--Spookpadda (talk) 14:28, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Phebalium glandulosum
Hello Spookpadda,

Thanks for your interest in Phebalium glandulosum. Sorry I reverted your add - I actually think you are correct, but according to the Australian Plant Census, subspecies macrocalyx only occurs in Victoria. After reverting your edit, I realised that both PlantNET and VicFlora list the subspecies as occurring in N.S.W. So I will expand the article and include that information. I will also advise the APC. Gderrin (talk) 21:43, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Ok. No worries. Yes, my source was PlantNet - doing field IDs of similar plants (in SW Qld). Spookpadda (talk) 23:37, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation - that is particularly appreciated. I see you are doing great work. Spookpadda (talk) 23:38, 22 August 2021 (UTC)


 * No worries. I see the APC is now updated. I'll change the Phebalium glandulosum page. I hope you might upload images of plants you ID. Gderrin (talk) 23:58, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Ok. good. Yes they are records on iNaturalist. Spookpadda (talk) 09:18, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

lapsus meus
I just corrected two minor grammatical errors and marked each as a ‘lapsis’. That’s a lapsus linguae in itself. I can’t see how to edit my justifications for edits. Spookpadda (talk) 18:54, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ludwig Leichhardt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mount Abundance.

Charles-Xavier Rochet d'Héricourt moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Charles-Xavier Rochet d'Héricourt, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
