Hi. Take a look at Tumbleweed (diaspore); does moving Tumbleweed (disambiguation) to the base name ( Tumbleweed) now make more sense to you? -- Una Smith ( talk) 04:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

The Smithsonian American Art Museum will be having a Wikipedia Loves Art! meetup on Friday, February 27 from 5-7 pm in the Kogod Courtyard. Come share your experiences, meet the other teams, and take some photos! While RSVPing isn't necessary drop Jeff Gates an email if you're planning on attending so he can get a head count: gatesj (at) si.edu. (Note: The SAAM is located in between Metro Center and Gallery Place (closer to the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro), and is convenient to all 5 metro lines.) ⇒ SWATJester Son of the Defender 17:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I note that you have made some substantive contributions to the Babesia article. This page has been heavily edited by a temporary account (‘Nmunabi’) who apparently has knowledge of the subject. (I am not an expert in this area.) Yet he/she destroyed all the wikilinks and all the inline references. I don’t understand why. I reconstructed the references before realizing quite what had happened. So my question to you is, were this guy’s edits useful, or vandalism? What was he up to?
Appreciate your insight at the article talk page. Earthlyreason ( talk) 17:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Maybe the Charophytes, but usually I get reverted when I add a WikiProject plants tag to green algae articles (do more Chlorophyta, though, and that may be the issue). -- KP Botany ( talk) 02:57, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

While I'd agree with the exclusion of nucleariids (and ministeriids) from Choanozoa, if I recall correctly Cavalier-Smith introduced the term for all opisthokonts that aren't fungi or animals. (I'd restrict the term to Choanoflagellata, Mesomycetozoa, and capsasporids.)
However, the class given (Cristidiscoidea) seems to be even more dubious - that seems to be a polyphyletic group, consisting of nucleariids (sister to fungi), ministeriids (sister to animals), and fonticulids (amoebozoans). Lavateraguy ( talk) 20:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, would you have time to have another look at the FAC for Pseudoryzomys? The article has seen some changes since you last commented and I'd like to know whether you have any more comments. Thanks, Ucucha 16:31, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks, I didn't know you could do that with the cladograms (ref: Onocleaceae. I will follow that model from now on; constructing them graphically in ArcView is a royal pain in the ass. Btw, I appreciate the classification of Smith for the ferns, BUT he did that before a lot of additional cladistic analysis was done, and there are significant changes that need to be made in his classification even if you suppress the classification level to families. An extremely important paper is by Eric Schuettpelz and Kathleen Pryer, part of Schuettpelz' doctoral thesis, that genetically analyzed 400 species of ferns using three gene loci, as opposed to the single locus that's so often done. jaknouse ( talk) 17:53, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I am the one who wrote Unplaced in APG II. I finally saw what you had written on the talk page. I was happy to see that you created an article for Pottingeria. 128.171.106.252 ( talk) 22:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
My understanding is that the APG sees the succession of papers (1998, 2003, 2009) as the incremental development of a system, rather than as setting out three different systems (APG, APG II and APG III). This is how I've written the expansion of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group article. So, in my view, rather than expanding material related to APG II, we should really be reducing it, pointing out that it's now mainly of historic interest, and instead cross-referencing to APG III. I'd like to know other editors' views on this. Peter coxhead ( talk) 09:23, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
I note that you put back the subgroups in the taxobox for Archaeplastida. I agree that it's good to have links in taxoboxes where possible, but I'm doubtful that it's sensible here. This relates to the discussion at Talk:Chromalveolate, I think. At present articles on the top level groups of the eukaryotes can only reflect the current lack of consensus. What has happened on a number of pages is that the taxobox refers to a classification which is directly contradicted by the article, because of the difficulty in keeping them in step. The principle of avoiding redundancy suggests to me that it's better not to put classification details into a taxobox until we can be reasonably sure that it will be stable for some time. Peter coxhead ( talk) 11:17, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 04:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I saw your edit summary here, but I'm not sure we're both on the same page. I was referencing the Veterinary Dictionary as it was reputed in the Free Dictionary. Since I have no access to the Veterinary Dictionary, it's not appropriate to cite the Veterinary Dictionary without citing the Free Dictionary as well. Additionally, had this been accessed through a library subscription (in this case it hadn't), I'd need to add that as well. In my experience, such citations are entered as a single citation, not two.

Hello, How are you? I need your help. I thank you your help in the articles. I ask you: Can you find more people willing writing in tropical trees, genera and families? I ask you if you could enlarge some articles making better known this group of trees in Wikipedia, adding links to genera and families and writing information and asking people if they are interested in writing about topics as tropical trees articles, tropical forest articles or botanical or biodiversity articles. Do you know Wikipedia forums that could be interested about these type of articles? They are welcome too. I thank you very much.

Many country side areas, and Natural areas and Living beings are in Countries where population cannot collaborate with Wikipedia, but their Natural World and its highly economically valuable species are very important too in the human knowledge and developtment of the mankind. People should have information because these matters are important, not just a curiosity only. This unknow world is from Poles to ecuator, in unoccupied oceanic areas closely to Europe, in Deserts as Sahara, or whatever. But to me the main aim is to gather the abundant information disperse about living communities and living beings that have existed for millions of years because they are disappearing and in 20 years they will are not longer exist.

Hi, I browsed through the talk pages for the superheavy elements and saw your old (2007) removals of speculated properties from the infoboxes. So I thought you'd like to know that I independently started adding them – with sources – from last year. See the infoboxes for the elements from Cf onwards (and for a more concentrated supply of sourced speculations, Lr and Rf onwards), if you're curious. It seems that the properties you deleted were largely correct but for (1) many typos and (2) being unsourced!
