Joseph Priestley

Thanks for your addition to the above article. Unfortunately, I've had to remove it. Information added to Wikipedia needs to be sourced to a reliable source. Also, I'm not sure how important this lecture series is in the grand scheme of all things Priestley. A source would help establish this. Thanks again and welcome to Wikipedia!

File source problem with File:Celia-2.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Celia-2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 15:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Celia-1.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Celia-1.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. feydey (talk) 15:58, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for submitting these images. I have laid out the known information on the image pages. To prevent deletion, you should add the licence(s) of your choice. Licenses compatible with Wikipedia use would be {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} and {{GFDL}}. Finavon (talk) 07:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Torreya taxifolia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Refugium. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:54, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your major expansion of Assisted migration of forests in North America, and note about pictures.

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for the major expansion of this article. I relied a lot on older research in my original draft, and it's great to see this article up to date, and that it now includes more details on the different ways assisted migration is done.

I also have removed some photos you added to the articles because they violate wikipedia's copyright policies. They will be deleted from commons soon. However, if you are the copyright holder of the Fred Bess picture, you can email the wikipedia foundation to tell them that the Torreya Guardian website relinquishes its rights to that picture.

Happy continuation, Mottezen (talk) 17:50, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

I was coming along to say something similar: thank you so much for expanding the article! It's really important to document the adaptation of wildlife in the face of climate change.

We have a WikiProject: Wikipedia:WikiProject Climate change-- where we are coordinating some of this kind of work. I hope that we see you there! Sadads (talk) 01:56, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you !

	Original Barnstar
	Thank you for the work you did writing the article on Assisted migration of forests in North America! It was at least 5 time is original size after you were done with it, and way more accurate! Mottezen (talk) 23:56, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

On the assisted colonization page

Hey, I just wanted to remind you to voice your support for renaming the Assisted Colonization page in the relevant discussion. There wasn't enough participants last week for the admins to make the change just yet.

Also, if you feel this page is unbalanced towards certain perspectives, you can modify it to redress the situation. I doubt you will find much opposition in this pursuit as the main author of the page has long been inactive. Mottezen (talk) 21:09, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

@Mottezen - It's going to be a lot harder working on the "Assisted colonization" page as it is not a starter page, so, while I can add material and improve/tighten/ref existing material, I know it is important to refrain from cutting any text out unless there is something distinctly wrong with it, as in putting too much in (like an essay) on the same topic using the same ref. But it will be a new task for me. Getting used to wikipedia style takes some time, so I may make some errors on that page. Won't start into it today, as I have a lot of catching up on my own work today. Thanks for helping me learn how to be a competent and trustworthy wikipedia editor!Cbarlow (talk) 13:03, 30 August 2021 (UTC)CBarlow

DYK for Assisted migration of forests in North America

On 5 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Assisted migration of forests in North America, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that as part of the ongoing assisted migration of forests in North America, the western larch was selected for reforestation projects nearly 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) north of its native range? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Assisted migration of forests in North America. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Assisted migration of forests in North America), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

California Condor

Thankyou for your encouragement for my recent additions to the article. Hopefully I will soon get a link to a list of the names of the current condors as it is likely to grow to a point where I can't write them all out. It is one thing to learn the names, but quite another to pronounce them... Richard Nowell (talk) 16:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

So good to have you working on this page! Cbarlow (talk) 19:51, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

I've been getting help (obviously) from people on the Condor Cam page. Between you and I, the next two arriving in Spring are: Per-werh ("The direction south along the ocean") and Hehl-kew ("In or towards the mountains"). Thanks again Richard Nowell (talk) 08:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC) https://www.yuroktribe.org/yurok-condor-live-feed

Your addition to Rewilding has been removed or altered, as it appears to closely paraphrase a copyrighted source. Limited close paraphrasing or quotation is appropriate within reason, so long as the material is clearly attributed in the text. However, longer paraphrases, especially if they are not attributed to their source, may constitute copyright violation or plagiarism, and are not acceptable on Wikipedia. Such content cannot be hosted here for legal reasons; please do not post it on any page, even if you plan to fix it later. You may use external websites or printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If you own the copyright to the text, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the copyright but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 12:09, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

I restored the deleted words by using my own phrasing. Cbarlow (talk) 12:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

If you like. I figured it was okay to lose the second sentence as it seemed to be (at least to me) restating the previous sentence, which already mentions the specific focus on trophic cascades. Belbury (talk) 12:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

I just removed the wiki-link from the second use of trophic cascades. Actually "trophic complexity" was the term the 2024 paper used, but no wikipedia page exists for that usage. Because the 2024 paper is REVIEW paper, and I know wikipedia likes those best, I really wanted to find a place to use it. So that was my main reason for a second sentence.
