Welcome to WikiProject Plants!

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Plants! Our scope includes any and all taxa of plants, botanists, and botany topics. We're glad to have you working with us on our project!

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
We discuss our project frequently at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. You can watchlist it to keep up with the conversations.

Here are some easy ways you can contribute:

Images: There are articles that need images. You can search Wikimedia Commons for images. When you find one, add it to the Wikipedia article in the taxobox and remove the "needs-photo=yes" parameter from the project banner on the talk page of the article. You could also help identify plant photos on Commons.
Taxobox: We also have articles that need taxoboxes. See the taxobox usage guide for information on how to add a taxobox. When complete, don't forget to remove the "needs-taxobox=yes" parameter from the talk page banner.
Stubs: Consider expanding one of our stubs or create one of our requested articles.
Assessment: You could also help assess our unassessed articles.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page or the project at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Rkitko ^(talk) 23:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Linguistics article

Hi,

If you care about the linguistics article, please compare these two visions of it and get involved. I really disagree with supriyya's edits, but I can't just revert them. We at least need some community consensus on this garik (talk) 19:37, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redoing your copy edits

Sorry about that! It's a dodgy time to be editing Linguistics. I didn't mean to remove your changes. garik (talk) 09:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

orthography and dyslexia

Hi Indeterminate,

you may be interested in have a look at some of the research papers included in my NCBI collection "Dyslexia and Othrography" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/myncbi/collections/public/14OwPy1L1-bzNSFI4V9AKMF/

As you may have noticed due my Auditory Processing Disorder I can see and understand all what is going on, but i have problems using the Auditory sequencial language used on Wikipedia. I can find the research papers and understand the content, but this pickiness of whether the exact words of the research paper match the exact words in the article, is not within my capabilities, I just see the overall picture and let others play word games. Some do not seem to understand the nature of my disability, and just delete my contributions, without attempting to understand the overall rational and changing the article content to match the research papers. It can be so frustrating dolfrog (talk) 14:46, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

False etymology > Folk Etymology

You participated in a discussion on the page Folk etymology as to whether it should be moved to False etymology. Despite the consensus on that discussion, the move was effected. I have requested that the move be reversed. I am notifying you as a party to that prior discussion. If you are interested, the current discussion is located here.μηδείς (talk) 04:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Science lovers wanted!

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 01:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not really, but I stop by every now and then! Thanks for the update. Indeterminate (talk) 00:49, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hawaii edit-a-thon!

Hello. I'm interested in attempting to put together an edit-a-thon for Hawaiian cultural topics something during the Makahiki festival perhaps around the month of November. The hope is that our lackluster coverage of Hawaiian mythology could be improved with help from the Bishop Museum, Hawaii Pacific University, and the Honolulu public library. I am in the process of making initial contacts with these organizations as well as Wikimedia DC's GLAM project. If this sounds like something you might be interested in participating in, or perhaps helping to coordinate, could you please add your name to 2014 Makahiki Edit-a-thon?--v/r - T P 21:23, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for editors to help with an Asian Pacific American edit-a-thon in Honolulu

On Oahu? Edit Wikipedia or Wikimedia sister projects? You are invited to help the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center with an Asian Pacific American edit-a-thon in Honolulu this September.

Aloha!

Last summer I moved to the Seattle area after 14 years in Kailua on Oahu. I immediately fell in with the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group as it formed, joined its board and became its first president as well as the GLAM representative for Washington State.

Recently, Adriel Luis, Curator (Digital & Emerging Media) at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, contacted me about setting up an edit-a-thon like the previous Wikipedia APA edit-a-thon. In addition to discussing one for Seattle, he wrote:

“

It's awesome to learn about your past in Honolulu - I'm actually going to be there for another SmithsonianAPA project mid September, and thinking that this could be an opportunity to do an event there as well! I have lots of contacts with UH and the museums, but do you know of any contacts on the Wikimedia side out there?

”

As I was working two jobs while I lived on Oahu, I did not have the opportunity to meet your or any other Wikipedians at the time. Hence, the reason why I am contacting you now.

If you would like to help, please contact me through one of these methods:

Email me directly at peaceray@cascadia.wiki
Use Special:EmailUser/Peaceray to email me
Leave a message for me on my talk page.

Mahalo,
Peaceray
