Algae Taxonomy

This pic [1]from http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/content/full/91/10/1437 would be great to use, but I dont think it is covered by fair use. Onco p53 06:34, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, it wouldn't be too hard to make our own image. I don't have many tools at the moment, but I've made a rough version, for the moment available here. It only lists the groups from eukaryote and protist, and you'll note I haven't followed your sample in making the chromalveolates or unikonts monophyletic, which last I checked (Baldauf et al.) was still somewhat hypothetical. Let me know if you think it's useful, or should be changed. Josh

I can't access the image (tripod blocking?). I have Corel Draw and photoshop ect.., but wont be able to do anything until the weekend. I'm rushing to complete a draft chapter of my thesis by friday. Onco p53 22:37, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Fixed, sorry. Corel Draw would be good for this sort of thing. Good luck with your thesis! Josh

Matagouri.

Hello. It looks like I can do with your help on Category:New Zealand plants! I note that you created an article called Discaria toumatou. I agree with the conventions at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna) with respect to article names. This can apply to flora as well. With this in mind I have moved the article to matagouri. Alan Liefting 2 July 2005 00:28 (UTC)

Hi, that's fine. I am a systematist so I tend to think in binomial names, but these can change due to reclassification. What would you do if there are several common names? Onco p53 2 July 2005 00:33 (UTC)

There are two situations that article naming needs to address: same common name for different species; different common name for same species. These can be handled adequately by the redirect and disambig functions. Alan Liefting 3 July 2005 07:21 (UTC)

Environmental samples

Hi, Bevan. I was hoping to add some details for the Rickettsiales families. However, all the listed genera are endosymbiotic, but I know that the order also contains various environmental samples like SAR11. A while ago I had found an on-line source that listed these, together with Candidatus species, but I can't seem to find it. I was wondering if you knew of any comparable resources. Thanks, Josh

Damn, sorry Josh, I must have missed this comment. I don't know the website you are thinking of offhand, but ones I commonly visit that may help are: LPSN and the NCBI, which I guess you already know. the LPSN (formally LBSN) has all the `official' names, so should included candidatus.

Geometric kite

That clearer now? -- pne 19:15, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Much better, quite interesting fact now really. Thanks. Onco_p53 21:40, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Your thesis

You say on your user page that your "thesis won't write itself". Perhaps you should put the draft of it up here on Wikipedia (as a subdirectory of your user space) and see whether it does. Of course, your oral exam may not go so smoothly afterwards<grin>. Anyway, I hope it goes well for you and look forward to seeing you back here later.-gadfium 04:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Gadfium, At the request of one of my supervisors I started a timeline of the writing I have left to do — a lot — and I really want to finish before the end of the year. <Checks Thesis Guide> Hmmm, an open source thesis is not explicitly denied ;-). I hope your studies go well this year, I enjoyed that Organic Chem paper much more than Inorganic. Onco_p53 06:12, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Interesting times over at Talk:Natasha Demkina

What happened here? things have changed a lot since I last saw this article http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Natasha_Demkina&oldid=13903277 I think there is a lot that could be put back. Onco_p53 23:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

To find out what happened, simply read the comments above. The pared down version is less likely to cause POV-based edit wars. DreamGuy 00:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me that the article has been watered down severely, based on the whims of a few people with strongly held beliefs. It now contains so little material I didn’t understand the full story until I googled and found the website. It seems remarkable that all of these external sites (compared to my previously linked version) have been removed, surely they do not add significantly to the POV of the article. Hopefully the one link that I added will remain so people can read the study for themselves, since they won't be getting the information from Wikipedia. That said I have no wish to start an edit war, so I will not further edit this article. Onco_p53 04:10, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Alfred Hamish Reed

My sincere thank you for your contributions on Alfred Hamish Reed. - NevilleDNZ 05:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Agaricaceae

Hello. You made the Agaricaceae page last February and you said that Coprinaceae was part of it. Also the Coprinaceae genera are listed in the taxobox. But this was a mistake, wasn't it? In Index fungorum Coprinaceae are a separate family, and in all other sources I could find. Also they are separate in Commons:Category:Coprinaceae and Wikispecies. Do you have a reference which says they are combined?

IMHO the Coprinaceae are definitely a separate family, not part of the Agaricaceae! I intend to change the article sometime. Strobilomyces 15:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, it has been so long I can't remember where I got the reference from, possibly here but that is not authoritative. I did a quick lit search and found nothing, so go ahead and make the change. Onco_p53 20:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Thesis

Congratulations! We'll drink a toast to you tonight.-gadfium 05:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Congrats. I couldn't even manage to write a master's thesis :-0. Is there a thesis defense or anything you need to do before you become a Dr.? Sasank 07:47, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah should have the defence in a couple of months, if I am lucky, before the next graduation. Onco_p53 08:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

hi

my name is javier.., and i just wanna ask you something...

i want to know if you are the owner of an image...of an autor called: Daniel Handler?

i mean, i want to get a permission to publicate that image in my page, cause it has copyright.

and in the webpage there is your username...so i tought maybe you are the owner of it.

I hope you answer me..and thank you....

--here is the link of the image:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Handler

Hi, No I don't own that photo, it belongs to Harper Collins. But you should be able to use it under fair use. Onco_p53 22:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

---

So, if i want to use this image, i have to send a mail to Harper Collins, haven't i? sorry i ask you again, but i'm a novice, and i really hope you answer me again.. U_U

thanks you.. n_n XD

Technically, I suppose so. But if you leave the image as it is with the copyright tag on it, and your site is non-commercial I can't see a problem. If you do contact them, and they allow the use of the image, see if you can get a high quality copy, then post it back here. They may be freely available as part of a press promotion kit. Onco_p53 09:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I found this on thier website:

thank you 4 your help..I´ll try

New Zealand Midland Railway Company

Hi there. Yeah the article you pointed to should be re-directed to either the above article (about the Company which built the Midland Line) and the Midland Line, New Zealand article itself. I'll do this now.--203.97.253.54 06:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Myrsine

Perhaps you could expand this article a bit. It seems that some species are popular as ornamental shrubs, and it is widespread far beyond New Zealand. I'm a bit confused by the reference, which says that Myrsine, Rapanea and Suttonia are all the same genus, but that Rapanea is the preferred name. If this is the case, shouldn't we move the article to that name? Also, the list of species in the taxobox doesn't include M. africana, but a web search indicates that this is one of the more popular species. We're not writing only for botanists here, but for the general public as well, which in this case might include gardeners.-gadfium 09:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out, the problem was that I didn't state all my sources, Actually the Volume 1 Flora of NZ is a little dated. I have emended the article. I will also add some of the international species too. As a general question, since I will be moving through the entire Ngā Tipu Aotearoa updating taxonomy and Māori names, is it better to create bare-bone stub articles, or more fleshed out ones, which of course would take a lot longer? Onco_p53 09:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd prefer a bit more fleshed out. One sentence and a taxobox does not an article make. Thanks for clarifying that article.-gadfium 09:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

OK will do. I think with this article I will move it to Matipo and just have NZ specific information (a bit about international species). Mostly because I want to focus on NZ plants, but also each country has their own approved species names, and the online ones are all US centric, I would rather have a stated bias (only NZ plants) than a semi-complete list that could be misleading. Ah if only it was like bacterial taxonomy where we have an internationally approved classification. Onco_p53 10:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks very good now!-gadfium 20:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

History of Indian Cricket

Hi. Just to let you know this article has been moved to the Indian History category under category:History of cricket and you can also access it via category:Cricket in India. --Jack 12:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Marama

Re your recent edits to Marama (mythology) - have deleted them because they seem to come from Encyclopedia Mythica which is hopeless on Polynesian matters Kahuroa 07:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh dear, silly me. So what does Marama mean in Māori then? it is a somewhat common first name for women. Onco_p53 23:14, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Not so silly, you're not alone. An American contributor started hundreds of articles using E. M. as a source. We'll be fixing them for years probably. Marama means 'moon', month, while Mārama means 'bright' 'clear' 'light', whakamārama 'to explain, make clear'. E. Myth. would make all nouns into gods, and Māori nouns end up as Polynesian gods. Ua, (rain) becomes Ua, Polynesian god of rain. Nganga, (sleet), becomes Nganga, Polynesian god of sleet. A burial cave named Auraka on the island of Mangaia in the Cooks becomes Auraka, Polynesian god of death. And they never correct their entries either. Joy. Kahuroa 00:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

New articles

Some of the articles you are putting on Wikipedia:New articles (New Zealand) aren't very new. If they are more than a few months old, I don't think they belong there. You could add them to the appropriate archive, but I doubt anyone looks at the archives so that would probably be a wasted effort. Also, please add the date of creation of the article when putting it on New articles - that will make it much easier to archive the old ones.-gadfium 00:55, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes I see now that some of those are fairly old. My intent was to bring attention to articles that were `new' in the sence that no regulars had seen them before, just annons and very new users creating them. And this has been a success, the articles have been improved. But perhaps there is a better place for these `new' articles. Onco_p53 03:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Sydney Walter Josland

Can you contribute to the notability discussion for this NZ bacteriologist? Since he left research in 1960, I doubt anyone you're working with will remember him, but it might be worth asking around.-gadfium 21:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Dr Weir

Congratulations Dr Weir. I hear your thesis was "a comprehensive piece of work that was enjoyable to read".-gadfium 22:06, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, it is a great feeling that it is finally finished. I still need to be officially notified, then do some minor corrections, and finally the last printing and submission. I'll post a copy on my website, and you can form your own opinion on the "enjoyable" part! Onco_p53 03:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

LoPbN

You seem to have tagged List of people by name: Cara-Carq as "uncategorized", presumably from examining the markup rather than the rendering. All pages in the tree of which LoPbN is the root are in Category:Lists of people by name, but each is there bcz its markup includes a template that includes the Cat tag (IIRC indirectly -- i.e., via including yet another template), not bcz its markup directly has the Cat tag. I don't know if this is done by the AWB your summary mentions, or by hand, but i think it amounts to an erroneous tag, and assume it will cause at least confusion and perhaps problems, somewhere down the line.
--Jerzy•t 04:45, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. I have fixed it now. It is indeed a flaw of AWB, I'll raise the issue and see if it can be fixed. Onco_p53 06:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Protists Project

I would like to gain some consensus on what to use in taxoboxes for the protists and/or plants such as Rhodophyta, Glaucophyta, and the like. I see you've discussed this to some extent before. Things have changed even more since then. Still, can we simply stack taxoboxes of two currently accepted by different systems, or what? I posted on the ToL discussion page, and I'm adding this to your talk page because you were interested in the WP:Protists.

KP Botany 17:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Careful using AWB...

You used AWB to clean up Common Gateway Interface, but in so doing, you removed the underscores from links such as mod_perl, etc. Those underscores should not be removed, so do be careful. :) - furrykef (Talk at me) 10:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
