User talk:ThreeWikiteers

Welcome to wikipedia.

I noticed that you signed up very recently and immediately began editing the arborist article. I think you are doing a fine job so far, but your familiarity with wikipedia so soon makes me wonder if you might have been a registered user of wikipedia in the past, perhaps using a different user name?

Wether so or not the case, your edits are contributing to the quality of the article. If you are completely new to wikipedia I would be happy to help such as I can given that I am fairly new here also. However, you seem a pretty quick study and I may be asking you for assistance soon enough. - Michael J Swassing (talk) 16:51, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Lost Monarch
Hi ThreeWikiteers. Per Wikipedia's policies on verifiability and original research, all information in articles should be attributable to reliable, published sources. What is the source of the fern statistic? Mgiganteus1 (talk) 00:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The source is Steve Sillett, the forest canopy scientist. It's from a document that probably should not be linked to. You probably won't find someone in the tree or horticulture profession that would distribute the information. Ever heard "his name is Mudd"? But the document is online. If you think it's that critical - give it a shot and find it. Feel free to be the one to propagate the document. Better you than some of us.


 * It's hard to explaing the rational, but the documents online were not a big deal, until Richard Preston wrote The Wild Trees. A few things leaked out in that book, and when coupled with the few existing documents online, the information can start to complete the puzzle as to where these rare trees are located.ThreeWikiteers (talk) 05:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Volume of Lost Monarch
Hi ThreeWikiteers! You write the Lost Monarch contains 42,500 cubic feet of wood. Do you have a reference for that? Preston's book says "The Lost Monarch contains at least forty thousand cubic feet of wood". Krasanen (talk) 12:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I found it. Thanks! I added references to Tree and Sequoia, and moved the reference in Lost Monarch immediately after the volume.Krasanen (talk) 10:43, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi there.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
