Content left unresolved
[edit]Hello, when you made these edits, there was no citation given to indicate where the information came from. There are now three species pages, Pancheria_humboldtiana, Pancheria multijuga, and Pancheria robusta which need to be cleaned up in some way. Those pages were created here on the basis of listings in the IUCN Red List. I do realize that the IUCN Red List has unfortunately been created without the benefit of anyone skilled in botanical nomenclature, but we need to do something to clean up wikipedia. Could you please give me some information, perhaps on my talk page about where you are getting this information about Pancheria and Codia?
By the way, there is quite an active group of people knowledgeable about plants here, with discussions taking place at WT:PLANTS. If you have questions about how wikipedia works, or simply want to ask for help, I'd suggest having a look at past and present discussions there.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Hot Pork Pie (talk) 13:29, 9 January 2016 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
Disambiguation link notification for January 11
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cunoniaceae, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Platylophus. 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.

Monotypic genera and page moves
[edit]Hi, and thank you for your recent work on Cunoniaceae taxa. As there is usually very little that can be said about the only species in a monotypic genus that doesn't apply to the genus as well, Wikipedia covers monotypic genera and their species in the same article. The article is usually at the genus title but may be at the binomial in cases where the genus name is ambiguous (as is the case for Platylophus which is also a genus of birds). A redirect from the binomial to the genus should be created when the genus is the title (so Hooglandia ignambiensis should redirect to the article at Hooglandia), and a redirect such as Platylophus (plant) should be created when the binomial is the title. See WP:MONOTYPICFLORA for more information. Plantdrew (talk) 01:10, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Also, please don't move pages to new titles by copy pasting content from the old title to the new title (as you did with Caldcluvia paniculosa). Doing so breaks up the edit history of the pages. Now that your account is more than 4 days old, you should be able to move most pages by using the "Move" or "More" tab next to the "View history" tab. Using the move function copies the edit history to the new title.
And finally, Wikipedia prefers secondary sources to primary sources (see WP:PRIMARY). This sometimes means being a little out of date with regards to taxonomy, but also keeps us from endorsing potentially controversial taxonomy the instant it is published. Usually we wait until a secondary database with some degree of authority has adopted the conclusion of a paper in the primary literature. I don't work with Australian plants or Cunoniaceae much, but the Australian Plant Census is currently recommended as an authoritative source for taxonomy of Australian plants, and if there's a good secondary source for Cunoniaceae that is kept up-to-date, that should be considered as well. Thank you again for your contributions. And if you have any questions or concerns, do check in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. Plantdrew (talk) 03:34, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- Until there is an up-to-date reliable secondary source for the placement of Caldcluvia species, the arrangement in The Plant List should be followed as per Wikipedia's preference for such sources (see WP:RS). I note that the Australian Plant Census doesn't have entries for Opocunonia and Spiraeopsis, but does treat Ackama as a synonym of Caldcluvia. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:19, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
@Valliere71: I've tidied up Caldcluvia paniculosa, explaining the taxonomic issues involved, with fuller references. If it can be shown that recent reliable secondary sources show a consensus in favour of the move to Ackama paniculosa, then we can get an administrator (who alone has the necessary authority) to move the page to this title (properly, i.e. not by "copy and paste"). But article title changes shouldn't be made on the basis of primary sources alone, and I think it would be wrong to over-ride the current views at The Plant List, the Australian Plant Census and IPNI.

A page you started (Maxwellia (plant)) has been reviewed!
[edit]Thanks for creating Maxwellia (plant), Valliere71!
Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Please use the narrowest stub tag available, i.e. {{Malvales-stub}} rather than {{stub}} or {{plant-stub}}. This helps to better categorize articles.
To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.

Autopatrol
[edit]
Hi Valliere71, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:31, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
Coronanthera
[edit]Just a friendly heads up on Coronanthera. Only the first instance of a term, such as New Caledonia, should be wikilinked. Cheers!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:34, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
Taxobox updates
[edit]Making these changes in page is a waste of time, as we will be switching to automated Taxoboxes. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:52, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
- Pteridophyta has not been merged into Embryophyta. Please discuss radical changes like this at WP:PLANTS before instituting them. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:58, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
In support of the comments above, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants#Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group. Comments there are invited. Please don't change pteridophyte taxoboxes until the discussion has reached a conclusion, and then only in line with consensus. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:14, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Copy/paste content move
[edit]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Grevillea exul a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Hakea exul. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
Speedy deletion nomination of Robert Virot
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Robert Virot, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that has essentially the same content as an article on another Wikimedia Foundation project. Please see Wikipedia:Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
