Invitation to join the Ten Year Society
Dear Tommy,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Ten Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for ten years or more. I believe that you will celebrate your ten years jubileum here on the English Wikipedia on the 1st of April, but that you actually started as per the date of today on the Swedish Wikipedia, which gives you the optional choice to become member today, or the 1st of April.

Best regards, Dan Koehl (talk) 13:01, 29 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much – and yes, you are correct about the dates in regards to my edits to both enWP and svWP. Cheers, Tommy Kronkvist, 17:45, 29 March 2015 (UTC).

Wikispecies crat box
Here is the user box for Wikispecies crats: Template:User bureaucrat Wikispecies. Dan Koehl (talk) 13:37, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. For once I'm out of town/Internet for a few days (family stuff), but soon enough I'll be back to perform what's expected of me (and also by me, and others). Currently I only access the 'net through my iPhone, but as soon as I'm back at home (which also is my office) my Macs and I will be as wiki-dandy as ever.. :-) Best regards, Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 21:28, 22 April 2015 (UTC).

Blue notho
Just want to point you to an old discussion about blue notho at Are Nothobranchius rachovii and Blue notho the same thing? Dan Koehl (talk) 00:26, 26 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you Dan. Since that discussion now sits in an archive I wont add my point of view or otherwise edit it. That said, neither the registered user who first issued the question nor the IP who answered have their facts 100% straight. The page Blue notho regards the species Nothobranchius patrizii, which seems correct to me. However, the most common English vernacular name for Nothobranchius rachovii isn't Blue notho, but Blue fin notho. Similar, yes, but not an exact match. :-) As the IP suggests, the use of English vernacular names for articles about lifeforms is very questionable, and perhaps this matter should (again&hellip;) be raised at the Village Pump or other suitable forum. For instance Nothobranchius rachovii is not only called Blufin notho, but also Rachow's notho, Blueband killifish, and Rainbow killifish – the latter two mainly in South Africa, and originally translated from Afrikaans. (For reference, Nothobranchius patrizii isn't nearly as common in captivity around the world, and to my knowledge therefore only have one English vernacular name.) –Best regards, Tommy Kronkvist, 22:49, 26 April 2015 (UTC).
