WA SR-20

Thanks for the restore. I'm trying to include the same detail in other State Routes, as I have on the SR-525 and SR-526 articles. TEG (talk) 20:48, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Botanical Categories

Thank you Wsiegmund for clarifying here and via the wiki-link about 'category' use. Probably got a excessive as was finally finding 'important articles' not linked to existing (usually of design, horticulture, &/or native habitat et al) categories long ago found and used. Will stop adding new botany ones until really understand this better. Sorry for category over-connecting, and 'Huckleberry' info reformat also. Thanks----Look2See1 t a l k → 18:06, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi; Just thinking a bit more and realize a question ? My education-career bridges (native plant-habitat restoration) Botany and (design-plant horticulture) Landscape Architecture. How to get the 'flora-botany' articles accessible-findable to the 'landscaper-gardener-interested public' ?

For example: I have learned Melica spp. and Melica imperfecta as a great native California bunch grass - findable in Category:Flora of California or Category:Poaceae - to use instead of the invasive exotic Nassella sp. 'Mexican Feather Grass' in sensitive Wildland-urban interfaces - but Melica was not findable in the Category:Horticulture and gardening's sub-categories (until put in Category:Grasses). Many 'gardening peers' are not facile in flora/biome/ecoregion/plant community/habitat organization/genera... systems and searching nomenclature, but can find Category:Garden plants or List of garden plants or even List of plants by common name. My Huckleberry mess-up was an attempt to bridge; with no judgements, for many landscapers wouldn't know to use Vaccinium or (Flora of Calif./Oregon).

So question; what is most minimal way to maintain 'flora elegance' with a usable connection to horticulture for 'less common but in horticultural use native (& other) plants' ? Perhaps Oxalis oregana (Redwood sorrel) is a 'test case,' currently in (Category:Garden plants) & (Category:Flora of Calif./Oregon). Would a new category template of something like (Category:Native garden plants of each state's name) as a subcategory only seen within (Category:Garden plants) be a solution?

Rambled on, sorry. Very receptive to thoughts-ideas on issue (or non-issue declaration). Thanks,----Look2See1 t a l k → 18:58, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

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) 20:14, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

SV's talk page

I think it was rude for you to delete my comment to this discussion here.[1] If SV thought the thread was inappropriate, it's her decision to remove it. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 05:04, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

The diff I provided in my edit summary clearly states SVs preferences. Please consider moving Freakshownerd's comment and your response to Talk:Fred Singer. My action wasn't directed at you; removing Freakshownerd's post and leaving yours would make little sense. Walter Siegmund (talk) 05:14, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
