Thanks a lot for your work on that article. I remember looking at it a while ago and remarking that it was embarrassing how minor our coverage was. Well done! The Interior (Talk) 00:49, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
I noticed what you said here and since I have posted a severe criticism of it here, I am notifying you. Are you really saying that WMF employees (many of whom edit here, though many don't) should follow some sort of code of conduct? Quite apart from that not being any business of the en-Wikipedia community (the meta community and all the projects, possibly), that would be unworkable and just make the WMF even more distant from the editing community. I really don't understand why some people (only a few, including you) are making such a big deal out of Kaldari being a WMF employee. Carcharoth ( talk) 05:47, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
I guess everyone has an opinion now about you and Lawrence Khoo and the others mentioned and that fish guy. No doubt there is good and bad in that http://www.archive.org/details/EssayInformationOnTechnocracyDesignAndHowItIsPortrayedOnWikipedia

I'm sorry you feel dispirited about your edit to American lobster. Please don't. The article could do with improvements, and you would be about the best person to do that. If you have material to add, please do continue to work on the article. I reverted the restructuring only on its own merits, namely that I thought it brought more harm than good, and there's certainly room for discussion there. That in no way judges any other edits you may want to make. I don't believe I am being either combative or rigid, and I would welcome your further input to that (and other) articles. -- Stemonitis ( talk) 15:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

My edits about interwiki links have nothing wrong, because there are too many incorrect interwiki links among Wikipedias of all language editions.

I hacked something together, but it's not really ideal, since it leaves a bit of a gap, and still requires some extra style statements. I have made a request at Template talk:Navbox to see if we can have an option to allow for the use of 'navbox|child', but without having the lighter colours. We shall see if this is easy. If I have a chance, and no one responds to my question, I will see if I can get something working in the sandbox. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 05:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comments on herring iw-links here, and apologies for the possible confusion. The removal of links was however not a wholesale reversion, but based on the consideration of the contents of the articles, just as you recommend - which I also tried to indicate in the edit summary. My conclusion was and is different however: the foreign language articles we are discussing are specifically about the taxa Clupea or Clupea harengus, and they should indeed be specifically linked to from the corresponding English taxonomical entries Clupea or Atlantic herring, with the corresponding taxoboxes, not from herring. Only the Nedersaksisch article does not have taxobox, but evidently represents the same series and exclusively deals with Clupea. iw-links should be unique and reciprocal: we should not link to the same article from both Clupea and Herring (see below).
More generally (1) It is rather peculiar to the English Wikipedia to have broad biological articles on a word/concept with an incoherent or vague taxonomic definition, such as herring, in parallel with the actual taxonomical (“encyclopedic”) articles; such "non-standard" definitions necessarily lead to problems with iw-links also. ["Salmon" and "trout" seem to make exceptions to this though; notably the corresponding foreign articles mostly do not have taxoboxes, or have taxoboxes that clearly indicate the systematic incoherence]. (2) iw-links in general should be unambiguous, as far as possible (i.e., reciprocal, unique). Only then bots can maintain them (now the reciprocal links to English Clupea/Herring are mostly misdirected after your re-definitions of the terms, and should all be manually corrected: logically that should have been your task?) Scientific taxonomy (as described in the taxoboxes) is the very method of unambiguous matching the meaning of these concepts over language barriers in the world of biology, and we should use it for that purpose here.

Hi Epipelagic. I was looking through my watchlist when I spotted your warning left for Jacksonriley0706 about his edit on the Cutthroat trout article - a level 3 warning no less. Looking at his edit, I can clearly see that what this guy did was by no means vandalism, and was actually improving the article by adding an IUCN Vulnerability/Threat to Species chart, which indicated that the species is Vulnerable. Accordingly, and assuming good faith in that this may have been a mistake, I've reverted your edit back to Jacksonriley0706's, and will remove the warnings left on the user's page. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the welcome into WikiProject Fisheries and Fishing! I think the welcome template is nicely designed and looks very good, too! You are the very first person to formally welcome me in Wikipedia.

I have been in "Discussions" with User talk:Bhaskarmv about his additions to Diatom and to related pages such as Fish kill, Eutrophication etc. He was initially trying to promote his product but now he is set on a course of saying "diatoms are good - other algae are bad" which is both wrong and grossly over simplistic. He also asserts that organically polluted waters can be made to thrive by encouraging diatoms to grow. With most of what he writes there is a germ of truth in there somewhere but the conclusions are very wide of the mark. In his latest response on his own talk page he says in response to my offer of help
I can understand your ignorance, I have faced similar situations with many people in the past few years. They have all accepted my view finally. The resistance to new concepts is quite severe, even after 100s of years of inventions and discoveries. Unfortunately a lot of published data is incomplete or erroneous and has to be changed in view of the development of our product and solution. ........ Your attitude is attributing motives to me is wrong. This is product has been demonstrated for the past 7 years. The language of my posts can always be edited to improve them, there is no problem with this as long as the science is not contested.
I take from that that he believes he has access to scientific publications that have alluded me. I would welcome your thoughts and views and I would also be interested whether you know of other editors who have specialised knowledge of aquatic ecosystems and diatoms.

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.
If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at [email protected]. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:15, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Epipelagic, I would kindly need your help or advice. We “met” about two years ago regarding my adding links to FAO member states countries and now, after insisting so much over these two years I have received the mandate to enhance FAO presence in Wikipedia. I have seen the UN Portal and thought that maybe we could do something similar. I have drawn the attention to it to the responsible for FAO external media communication and he has agreed to start making contacts with Wikipedia responsible/editors. Would you have some advice on how to proceed? I have read all the instructions, but having someone who has already contribute to do something similar it will help a lot. Or if you may have some name to whom I should contact, that would be great too. Thanks for any advice you may give. - ( MontseBL ( talk) 13:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC))
Hi. When you recently edited Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indian carp ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello. Just a quick message to ask what you think about my interpretation of WP:IUP on Talk:Herring#Removal_of_animations; the talk page doesn't seem to have much activity from other editors, so it'd be good if we could sort something out between us. Thanks. -- McGeddon ( talk) 10:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Again, the talk page is a little quiet. Given that the Herring article gets a moderate amount of traffic (around 800 hits a day), it'd be good to reach an agreement on how best to implement usability policy. If you think you've said all you can say and still disagree, I'll look into requesting a third opinion on it. Thanks. -- McGeddon ( talk) 15:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Epipelagic, I hope you are doing well. It's always nice to "talk" to you. If you are not too busy, maybe you could have a look at this brand new article and give it a rating for the Fisheries and Fishing Project? The bivalve side of it seems OK to me (we have a Bivalve Project now), but I don't know much about how aquaculture articles should be organized or what they should contain. Actually there is may be an inappropriate amount of overlap between this article and the geoduck article. If you are very busy however, don't worry about this, no problem.

Hi Epipelagic, I noticed that you made a lot of edits on aquaculture and made most of the schematics. I was wondering whether you would be intrested in improving the http://www.appropedia.org/Native_marine_organisms_by_region article at Appropedia with me ?
If you're intrested, look at http://www.appropedia.org/Talk:Native_marine_organisms_by_region for the list that still needs to be examined. I'm working on the above species (no need to add these, I'll work on these myself). Note that I now also made a an article on freshwater species (see link below on article; at "see also")
The idea is to have a map allowing people in developing countries to recognise which native species they can grow in their area, and so improve the ecology of the region. BTW: perhaps you're intrested in making these maps aswell (just a suggestion): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphics_Lab/Illustration_workshop#World_seas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphics_Lab/Illustration_workshop#Oil_pollution

.You are correct that my edits center around the "minutiae" of copyediting or grammar, rather than of substantive content changes. However, the wording that you insist on is technically inaccurate as terms don't normally describe phenomena. If anything, they refer to things, though it normally makes for better writing if we introduce concepts by saying "X is" rather than "X is a term for." It's a bit technical, but that doesn't make it wrong.
Outside of that, I think this edit is problematic as the paragraph now implies that the FAO exclusively uses the term, created/imposed the definition as it is presented, or coined it altogether. I'm very suspicious of your claim that artisan fishing is a technical term unless you mean it's a technical term when used by the FAO. In that case, it would be helpful if we added the definition of artisan fishing as the FAO uses it (on top of what's there already), which I suspect would be less loose than the way it's depicted in that paragraph and in the lede at artisan fishing. — Ƶ§œš¹ [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 00:08, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Not sure what information you require to verify the image which was removed. It is a famous image. Photo was taken in 1935 at Billingsgate Market.
