John the Baptist and the Gospel of Barnabas
hello Aaboelela

I note your comment that John the Baptist is not stated in the Qur'an to be a harbinger of the Gospel as revealed to Jesus.

I had taken the contrary view from a summary of classic Islamic opinion, where the view is attributed to Al-Badawi that the mention of the "Word of Allah" in Sura 3:39 refers specfically to the revelation to Jesus Christ.

Do you have another interpretation?

TomHennell 18th Jan 2006 TomHennell 11:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments Aaboelela

I take it that you find the word "harbinger" as implying something rather more technical than in my usage; but also that you agree that the "Word of Allah" in Sura 3:39 (referring to John's prophetic commission), and the "Word from him who is the Messiah" in Sura 3: 45 (referring to the Gospel of Jesus) are to be identified.

Would changing the word "harbinger" to "witness" resolve the problem?

Unspecified source for Image:Durupınar.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Durupınar.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. 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, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 02:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag.

Hi!
Whoa, a herpetologist! I sure could use your help around here. But, if you only have the time to stop by every once in a while, that's okay. BTW, you have at least one colleague who does that: Dfcisneros. Cheers, --Jwinius (talk) 15:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello
I've been contributing to reptile-related pages for a fair while, but of course there's always much more to be done. Stewart

 * Hi Stewart, For the past two years, I've been working to organize the snake articles according to the taxonomy available through ITIS and using the taxonomic and geographic information from McDiarmid et al' (1999). I've worked really hard at this, so it's painful to see articles like Antaresia childreni get renamed. The biologists I've discussed this issue with all think Wikipedia's naming policy for zoological articles is nuts, but none of them seem have any answers. I'm thinking that it might be a better idea to ask a mathematician for advice. --Jwinius (talk) 11:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I don't understand WP's naming policy. My way of doing things would be to have the current scientific name used as the name of the main article, with common names and synonyms redirecting to the main article. Ultimately, as long as there are proper redirects in place it probably doesn't matter what 'main' name is used.
 * Stewart

 * Well, at first the folks at WP:BOTONY thought they could do it that way, but then they realized that a policy more in favor of common names was more trouble than it was worth. So, about two years ago, they switched to using scientific names for almost everything. I believe that many people, such as myself, attempting to organize hundreds of zoological articles realize this also: that the larger our collection of zoological articles grows, the more badly organized it will become. My fear is that before long, we'll be left with a huge, incoherent mess of articles with lots of duplication and inconsistencies that will be very difficult to fix -- exactly what those at WP:BOTONY were afraid of. Yes, it would help if all those common name articles had redirects for valid scientific names, but if the redirects don't get made, or they get changed later on, not many people notice. Not many tend to notice either if the taxonomy is contradictory: Elaphe for this, Pantherophis for that... who cares?! They're all rat snakes and it's really only the common-name titles that matters, right? Yes, this may only be Wikipedia, but I always hoped that it could do so much better in this area. --Jwinius (talk) 15:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Photos
Hello. Nice to see you've uploaded some photos. Can I request you upload them at the Commons in future? This is a much better place to do it. Also, if you add a photo to an article that had a photo request, please remove the request. Have a look at how I did this at Talk:Acrochordus arafurae for an example. Thanks.

Iguana, Physignathus, Cyclura or something else?
Dear colleague, couldn't you help me with identification of this lizard: commons:file:Washington DC Zoo - Physignathus cocincinus 1.jpg? The filename says that it is Physignathus cocincinus, but I have seen some suspects that it is an unusually colored Iguana iguana. I tried to investigate this question and it seems that Iguana iguana should have a very big round scale at the lower base of the head (commons:category:Iguana iguana heads), but this specimen lacks it. And it somewhat resembles Cyclura lewisi. Is this specimen identifiable at all (at least to family)? Stas (talk) 22:21, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Belgarat. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Belgarat~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:33, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Spoken articles (GFDL)
In response to your question about reciting a list of authors along with the recording--I don't know. Did you post this for a central discussion somewhere? Is there a project page for speaking articles? (Forgive me if these are obvious--today on IRC is the first I heard of the project). Thanks! Demi T/C 09:00, 2005 Apr 13 (UTC)

Hi, Fuzheado. I'll write under the same heading as Demi because I'm referring to the same thing. :-) I just wanted to tell you that I have listened to your recording of Pulitzer Prize and found it remarkly well done. Thank you!

In reply to your message about [[Media:Evolution.ogg|Evolution.ogg]]:
 * Yes, thanks--it's easily done, actually. Any day now, when my upload finishes, an amplified version should be in place. Demi T/C 08:45, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)

Ren & Stimpy Syndrome
Hi! The article titled Ren & Stimpy Syndrome has been on the vfd since March 30, 2005. Could you please delete this article? Marcus2 21:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

St. Louis School, Hong Kong
I am asking for opinion about an article on VfD.

This article is about a secondary school in Sheung Wan. Since you teach at a place relatively close there (I'm not sure if HKU is close to Sheung Wan, but anyway.) I think you may have better knowledge about this school than most people voting on this mtter. SYSS Mouse 02:38, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Spoken Wikipedia - missing copyleft notice
Hiya. Thanks loads again for recording Pulitzer Prize! However, as I'm sure you're aware, your recording is lacking a copyleft notice. I was wondering if I could persuade you to add it and upload the updated recording? I would be most grateful if you did. Thanks in advance! — Timwi 20:58, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I added a copyleft notice to it. -- brian0918  ™  16:02, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your excellent contributions to Spoken Wikipedia. Please read more for us! Do you do any special modifications to the file to get rid of the noise, or does it just sound perfect on the first try? -- brian0918 ™  16:02, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unless you've already started recording, you might want to consider changing your choice to something longer. Chances are that the Adam Clayton Powell article will become unfeatured. -- brian0918 ™  17:03, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

sorry, didn't mean to actually save those changes. Guess I need to read the help page brfore I experiment again.

His Holiness
Hi Fuz,

re your edit on Pope John Paul I. You may not know it but it is wikipedia policy to use styles like His Holiness on certain articles. All the papal articles use the HH style. You probably were unaware of this when you removed it but please do not remove it. It simply makes more work for wikipedia editors having to re-structure articles back to conform with the agreed manual of styles and naming conventions format. Fear ÉIREANN 12:01, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

American radio show about wikipedia
Hi

My name is Robin Amer and I’m a producer for an American public radio show called Open Source, which you can check out at www.radioopensource.org.

I’m writing you because this week we’re doing a show on Wikipedia including an interview with Jim Wales. We’re also looking for some particularly passionate and interesting Wikipedia users to talk to, especially users outside the US. I would love to talk to you about your involvement with the site. If you are interested, please give me a call at 617-497-8096, or email me at robinamer@riseup.net and send me your phone number.

Thanks so much.

Best, Robin Amer www.radioopensource.org

Requests for arbitration/KaintheScion et al./Proposed decision
I think Three-revert rule comes in handy here... if the two of you stop reverting each other, perhaps you could both cool off? -Harmil 15:41, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This is obviously a legitimate dispute. ArbCom have been misbehaving for some time now. The worries editors may have about their own accounts being attacked for standing up to ArbCom are legitimate. Please stop vandalizing the discussion.
 * Whether they are swearing or not, deleting their comments is obviously not helping the situation. I suggest using strikethroughs if you wish.
 * If you delete their comments, you only prove their point that ArbCom and their lackeys are engaging in a coverup of abuse of power. Tony Sidaway seems to be hell-bent on proving this true with himself as the foremost example, and perhaps Calton as the secondary.
 * Re: User talk:Harmil: The edits in question are not simple vandalism, IMHO. They are annoying, stubborn, harrassing personal attacks that are badly formatted, but that's the fine line between a vandal and a punk, isn't it...? I wasn't suggesting that he not be reverted, just that someone else should probably take the baton. It is, as the 3rr page points out, a show of community consensus. -Harmil 17:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * The edits Fuzheado is reverting count as vandalism as far I'm concerned, because of the expletives, the personal attacks, and the use of open proxies. SlimVirgin (talk) 17:25, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Please stop vandalizing this discussion. You are only proving that ArbCom and the Admins are trying to cover up their behavior rather than operate in good faith. The language has been cleaned up with strikethroughs as fits recent policy on Personal Attacks.

Open proxies
Hi Fuzheado, the anon IPs you're blocking over the arbcom edits are open proxies, which should be blocked indefinitely. However, it takes a few minutes to check that they are, and if you block for seven days in the meantime, it means I have to undo your block before I can block indefinitely, because the shorter block takes precedence. It would be helpful if you could either hold off for the check to be made, or else block indefinitely, and I'll check them after you've done it, and will shorten any blocks that turn out not to be from open proxies (though they all have been so far). Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 16:46, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks Fuzheado. Put on their talk pages so we know at a glance which ones have been done, and give "open proxy" as the reason on the blocklog. SlimVirgin (talk)  16:51, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi again, I'm wondering whether the block and blocklog tabs are visible to you on user and talk pages. I noticed you unblocked one of my indefinite blocks and then blocked it indefinitely again, which suggests you didn't check the blocklog before unblocking it (because there was no need). Maybe you didn't check it because you don't have it handy? I know when I first became an admin, I couldn't see these tabs on user pages, but someone installed them for me, and they make life a lot easier. Let me know and I can ask him to install for you if you don't have it already. When you go to a user or talk page, in the top righthand corner, next to the watch/unwatch tab, you should see block and blocklog. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:12, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Block tabs
Fuzheado, I'm copying this out of my archive. This is what Knowledge Seeker sent me when he first set it up for me: "It's very simple to do in fact, and doesn't require you to do anything to your computer, only on Wikipedia ... you have to be using the (default) <monobook.css skin; if you've changed it in your preferences this won't work. So here's what you do: go to User:Korath/blockip.js (which is linked from User:Korath/Potentially useful stuff in case you want to find it again. Click to edit it, and copy the whole text. Then go to User:SlimVirgin/monobook.js, edit it, and paste the code in there. Save it and you're done! You'll have to do a full reload to clear your browser's cache, using control-shift-R. Otherwise, it'll be there when you restart your browser anyway ... Knowledge Seeker দ 23:38, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I tried substituting my name for yours as in User:Fuzheado/monobook.js, but it's coming up as a red link, so I don't know what you'd have to do instead; or perhaps you're using another skin. I've also left a note for Knowledge Seeker, so if the above isn't clear, you should ask him, as he's extremely helpful. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 02:58, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Hehe, thanks for the compliments, Slim! Especially since I hassled you so much about doing this! Yup, you're right; it's red because Fuzheado doesn't have custom JavaScript (neither did you or I before we put this up); once the page is created, it will turn blue. Fuzheado, let me know if you have any questions about how it works or how to do it. I've found Korath's tabs to be indispensable! — Knowledge Seeker দ 03:05, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * You're welcome! I would like to publicize them more—I've done a bit by word of mouth but it would be nice to get the word out to more administrators. It was on WP:AN (or WP:AN/I) when Korath first developed them (in response to SlimVrigin and I having "block conflicts"); maybe I'll bring it up there again at some point or on the block page on the administrators' reading list or something. Unfortunately, no, I don't have any more tricks up my sleeve; if you hear of anything, let me know! — Knowledge Seeker দ 19:43, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * You're welcome Fuzheado. See? I told you he was a sweetie. ;-) SlimVirgin (talk) 20:12, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

I'd like you to take a look at my talkpage for a moment...
I don't know what to make of this... somebody made quite a big addition to my talkpage... problem is I can't tell whether it's vandalism, a bad joke, some program run amuck... it's so bizzare. Seriously, I don't think describing it would help you understand it as much as looking at it. Just take a look at my talkpage, please? --Chanting Fox 29 June 2005 03:12 (UTC)

Deleting page content
Thanks, I accidently did it again and got a message from someone else about how it would be considered "Vandalism" to continue...Anyhow, forgive me for doing so.

The only reason I wiped the page out is because I don't know any other way to "edit" a page like that then to start with a clean slate...I'm used to working with programs like Dreamweaver, etc., and I don't like there being content already on something, so if I'm going to put something on a page, I like it to already be blank, so what's the big issue with wiping out this page? Unless you have any other suggestions with how to edit it? I thought the purpose of this "Your first page" thing was to have a page to write an article from scratch on?

Sorry for any problems this may have caused.

RE: Edititing
See, what I thought the purpose of "Your First Page" was to be able to do just what it implies- begin a page from scratch. I'm used to working with software that would enable you to do so, like Dreamweaver, for instance. So anyway, the reason I deleted the content of the "first page" was to be able to experiment with the tools and options and see what their immediate effects were. I figured that if this was a page generation program to be used within Wikipedia then it shouldn't be causing any problems, right? I also figured it was a personalized page until it was "published" or "finalized" or whatever you wanted to call it, so please explain whatever I'm not getting about that. But the point is, it says it's "Your First Page," so that's what I understand about it (since it says you can build your own article from the ground up, and that's what I want to do).

dude, quit picking on me, dammit, your relaly starting to frustrate me, i do my utmost to find and make decent additions to aritcles, and all you and others do is remove them, i read a lot of antropology and i read the old books of the tora, chrisitanity's  many books,the karan and many books concenring wicca, not to mention the anthropolgy books ive read, id should say that i have done sufficiant reaseach to know what im talking about on the god pages, not ot  mention many others. would you please put my addition back into the god page please? people only started removing itbecxause they were offended.

blocks
I have been hit with IP blocks set by you, reason given oly as "vandal". I am using AOL dial-up. I am not a vandal. Quite probably soemone else who got this IP on another occasion was. I sent you email with more details. DES 5 July 2005 03:55 (UTC)

Thanks for dealing with this. It seems to me that an IP block should be superceded for a logged in user by the block/nonblock status of that user. Is this possible? I suppsoe for sockpuppting you might not want this, but an annon vandal won't log in, and if he does, his login ID will be blocked soon enouhg. DES 5 July 2005 04:04 (UTC)

 * Re: an autounblocking, that's an intriguing idea. I'll have to think about whether it would work as a feature request. I could see that it would weaken the vandal fighting ability, because if there was an active vandal, someone logging in legitimately from the same proxy/IP would consistently unblock it, which would take away a crucial capability for the admins. Fuzheado | Talk 5 July 2005 04:15 (UTC)

 * Ideally, the block would not be removed, the software would simply run the decision tree:

 * 1) User Logged in?
 * No: check IP (jump to 4 below)
 * 1) Yes: check for user blocks.
 * 2) User blocked?
 * 3) Yes: forbid Edit
 * No: check for sock-puppet block on IP
 * 1) Sock-puppet block in place?
 * 2) Yes: forbid edit
 * no: allow edit
 * 1) User not logged in
 * 2) IP block in place?
 * 3) Yes: forbid edit
 * no: allow edit

 * I don't know if this is technically doable, but I think it is how things ought to work. DES 5 July 2005 04:31 (UTC)

By chance I came across your user ID in relation to problems with autoblocking and AOL. This happens to me regularly. There has been some discussion of solutions, and the comment above might be helpful as well. Please see my user page -- User:WBardwin/AOL Block Collection -- for a history of my experience and the comments of administrators. Thank you for your interest in this problem.

Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3
PBurka pointed out that an important omission from this proposal: a band could meet WP:MUSIC criterion #5 (sharing a member with a famous band) and still be speedily deletable by this criterion. I've added a sentence to the proposal to reflect this: it now reads ''An article about a musician or music group that does not assert having released at least one album, nor having had media coverage, nor having a member that is or was also part of a well-known music group. If the assertion is disputed or controversial, it should be taken to VFD instead.'' Please consider if you support this new wording, and change your vote if not. Yours, Radiant_ >|< July 5, 2005 09:55 (UTC)

User:NickBurns revert
I saw that you reverted some anon changes on User:NickBurns's user page; I think it was a case of "he got logged out and didn't know it" because the same anon has made previous changes that didn't smell like vandalism, and I think the most recent ones were probably legit. I'm going to re-revert to the anon changes and leave NickBurns a note to make sure he knows about the changes and to remind him to always log in. I wanted to give you a heads up, though, and say good catch on it. -- Essjay ·  Talk July 5, 2005 18:25 (UTC)

 * I figured that was the case; I just didn't want him to come back to his page and find changes and not know what happened. I felt like since you had made the revert, it was my responsibility to let you know I was "un-reverting" you. Obviously, you take the time to do RC patrol, and I felt like a blind "un-revert" without 1) a note saying I was going to do it, and 2) a note saying "thanks for your hard work" was bad form. You and all the other RC patrolers are appreciated, and you should be told that you are. -- Essjay ·  Talk July 6, 2005 05:23 (UTC)

User:NickBurns revert, part II
Just wanted to say sorry for creating more work for you....Essjay's take on the situation was right on, I'd forgotten to log in. I'm still a fairly clueless noob; have pity on me. But yes, good catch. Thanks! NickBurns 5 July 2005 19:18 (UTC)

Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum
Hi there, instead of making a redirect from the Japanese/Kanji names to this article, I created interwiki links in Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum. Take a look and see. I deleted the nonenglish article names since we don't really use them in WP. Thanks. Fuzheado | Talk 8 July 2005 05:26 (UTC)

 * Hey, back there. I would appreciate if you would rather not remove redirects I created. Afterall I made it for a reason. It is simply not the case that we don't really use them [nonenglish redirects] in WP. If you would take a look at articles about Japan, you can find that many, if not most, of these articles have the name of the article in English and redirects from the kanji writing. Some people even go as far as creating redirects from Japanese writings of titles for not-Japanese related articles (typical example: color, 色). While the latter goes too far, it makes sense for the Japanese articles. I fact, it is a general practice that many articles about non-English topics with an English-written title have redirects from the local writing. I could put here a long list of examples, but I think you get my point. Please don't delete this kind of redirects any more.
 * BTW, thanks for creating the interwikis. --Ben T/C July 9, 2005 04:46 (UTC)

 * Can you provide some examples? I just know from experience we don't have many kanji or Chinese character title names in English Wikipedia pointing to English articles, or at least it's not the standard practice. See 色 and 日本, both are red links, they don't redirect to anything in en: Wikipedia. Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point. Fuzheado | Talk 9 July 2005 09:43 (UTC)

 * It looks as if you understood what I wanted to say. My examples didn't make much of an impression, though...
 * Well... examples. Looks as if some other people have been removing those redirects, too, for some mysterious reason (Many of 障子,障子,着物,着物,歌舞伎,浮世絵 have had a redirect). I am on a very slow connection, so it takes a lot of time to load pages and find kanji redirects. I provided of course many of my own articles about Japanese related topics with redirects (but I guess, this is not a good argument.) Except for that I found: 東京. Many other places in Japan had a redirect, but is has also been removed (e.g. 鎌倉、奈良、新宿、京都、北海道、渋谷、銀座、沖縄、関西、大阪、箱根.) Guess I don't make much of a case with my examples, if they are being removed. I think of it as in a way similar to the diacritics discussion, recently. I wonder, why people remove them, its not paper, right? If it is not practice now, it was practice some weeks ago - and it can become practice again. --Ben T/C 07:02, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, it's been pretty much policy for some time now (see Naming_conventions_(use_English) that article titles need to be at least in the Latin character set. With MediaWiki 1.5 software, you can have titles in Chinese or Japanese or whatever, but I'm afraid any addition in Chinese or Japanese characters will be wiped. But is this so bad? No one really looks for it here anyway, so folks will look it up in ja: or zh: and then wikilink over to English, right? Otherwise, en: will be full of Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, etc. and every language under the sky if we allow Chinese/Japanese characters here. Fuzheado | Talk 08:41, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for providing the link to the policy. I have to admit you are right about what you said concerning the practice of non-English character links, I didn't know that and I was surprised to read alas the software doesn't won't allow "北京" as a title (and this seems to date back more than two years), because, until now, this kind of redirect has worked without a problem. I don't think it is so bad, but I thought it was elegant and comfortable to have redirects from local writings to English-titled articles. You might have problems with your keyboard (or windows) or just not know the Roman transliteration in some cases, so you type the non-English name of it and you get it anyway. I found that neat and consequent, considering the case with the diacritics. And I am sure to have one more title for each Korea/China/Japan/India/Russia/Thai etc. article won't blow it up. The space requirement is minimal. Whatever... I am not going to fight over it. Thanks for telling me, Fuzheado. Ben T/C 05:09, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

i'm not really changing, i'm just adding the categories so that they'll show up on the list of emo bands. it looked a bit small considering the scope of emo with none of the newer hardcore type bands.

Thanks, I agree
Thanks, I completely agree. I just saw the description of the school and thought it was remarkable. Thanks again,

Thanks for the tip
As you suggest, it's a tough call, and I'm not sure whether I will cover it, and if so how. The situation is a challenge in terms of practicing responsible journalism. It's sort of newsworthy, but sort of uninteresting rehash of things that have happened before and will happen again. A case like this one, I wouldn't mind seeing the community start the ball rolling to show they want to see the story, kind of the way they did with the story on the London bombings article (which I would have covered anyway, of course). I guess I'll see how the rest of the week's news looks before I make up my mind. --Michael Snow 03:55, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

GNAA article
It appears that I am being reverted somewhat senselessly. However, in the interests of fair play I would like to ask whether you think my my additions to the article are relevant, neutral and informative. Am I being unreasonable to add this material? Chocolateboy has added very little the talk page, and appears to have "camped" on the article, and not let anyone else contribute to it.

Re: Wikimania
Hi Andrew, yes, I'm still reeling from the whole experience and trying to collect thoughts, ideas and conversations before they fly away. I'm really interested in the work yourself and Cathy are doing so we'll definitely be in touch. I'm going to email all the researchers who I thought might be interested in speaking to each other, basically so we'll have each other's addresses. But we'll also have to use the wiki-research-l mailing list and meta of course. What do you think of a group blog idea also? (Or is that necessary inside a wiki?) Good to meet you in any case - that was the main thing. Cormaggio 08:16, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi Fuzheado :) cool nick ;). Hi Cormaggio :). Ummm, Fuzheado... have you actually posted the video anywhere? i've also been wondering if the videos taken of the plenary session talks are going to go on line... Anyway, i'm more in favour of wiki communication on wiki research, with email as a less structured complement - i'll join the list sometime soon, hopefully. Boud 18:29, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Unicode for EasyTimeline
Hi Andrew, I made major changes in EasyTimeline and some in Ploticus (rendering package) before Wikimania, tested it all succesfully under Cygwin, and are now waiting for someone to build Linux version of Ploticus.

Chinese article
Hi. I heard you can read chinese, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to help me out. While RC patrolling I stumbled across some information about penis replacement surgery in the Penis article. However, I'm a little skeptical of it, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to confirm that the information in theis chinese reference article verifies the added information? If you can't or don't want to, that's completely understandable. Thanks. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 03:08, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

2005 Kashmir earthquake
Thank you for your contribution at 2005 Kashmir earthquake. Please keep it up!!! Pradeepsomani  ( talk )

please check out our page, someone CHEATS!!!
i am working in "Far Eastern Economic Review", recently i discover someone in my group who is a mass-entry-person does not write any "edited summary" and when i check her entries and compare them, i see no differences (also alot of slight difference like changing a single letter without pressing "m"). however she very frequently clicking on the edit bottom, i guess probably to show an impression that she is over-whelmingly involving in all the big contribution, which is a lie. it does affect morale of our group and i guess lies to groupmates do really hurt.

hope our instructor can kindly check this out and help us

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Melpomene. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Melpomene~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:27, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

British English at sickle cell anaemia
Hi Sertrel! I noticed at sickle cell anaemia that you changed the spelling of "genetic counselling" to the "genetic counseling". It turns out that "genetic counselling" (two Ls) is the British English spelling, whereas "genetic counseling" is the American English variant. And both are correct. Since Wikipedia policy says articles should use AE and BE consistently (ie, one or the other in a given article), and since sickle cell anaemia is written in BE, I've changed "genetic counseling" back to "genetic counselling".

ACC
Isn't a few sentences enough? Or do we really need a section about the expansion that is almost the size of the whole article. If it is truly worthy of so much detail, maybe it should have it's own article. But I think all of that information seemed like too much, especially considering it was wikified and seemed to ramble on and on, you know? We already have all of the memebers, the year they joined and a mentioning in the history section. Seems like plenty to me. AriGold 22:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I dislike the name; personally I think that General Moseley really wanted to name something the Lightning II, and since he didn't get his way on the F-22, he found a way to get the name onto the JSF. :p I had been rooting for Kestrel or Phoenix. Sertrel 17:31, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Art Houston
A question out of nothing but curiosity: What was the deal with Art Houston? I became curious when you deleleted the reference from Pottstown, Pennsylvania and noticed his article had been deleted and protected. Just curious—I've never heard of him. —Xanderer 01:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I found it under "recent changes" one day, and someone had just prodded it and then User:Timebuilder deleted the 'prod' notice, so I submitted it to AFD (see Articles for deletion/Art Houston. After review, it was deleted, and then today, it was recreated, so I tagged it for speedy, and an admin deleted it, and then it was recreated, and then I retagged it for speedy again, and that admin protected it. I figured since now it was really dead, I went and checked the "What links here" and then did a bit of link cleanup. Sertrel 01:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Was it poorly written, or bogus, or what? (And why do I care?) —Xanderer 23:52, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Just... completely non-notable, just a guy. And what bugged me was how when people said he was non-notable, he claimed that he really was 'somebody' and then started injecting himself into other articles, or writing up his better-known friends to try and have some of their legitimacy rub off on him. So I did some AfD's. As for 'why' you care, I don't know, curiosity? Sertrel 00:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/HHO Gas

Miloslav Schmidt
Although the article is currently a very small stub, it does assert notability. Considering that the author, User:Peterret, has added several articles that deal with famous Mošovce residents, I think that the contribution was made in good faith and has potential for expansion. Jaranda's deletion was not improper, this is just a difference of opinion. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 22:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

re: Articles for deletion/College Tonight
I figured it was easier just to undelete the old versions in the article itself. As you can see, not much has changed. Not really sure where to go from here, but I think an AfD is more definitive than a speedy deletion (since honestly they stretched the criteria quite a bit). --W.marsh 19:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

CSD G4
Re: Rizwaan Latif. The rules on G4 have been tightened a bit (or clarified), and the tag is only supposed to be used on articles that were AFD'ed, not just previously speedied. The reasoning is that a new article may have information the first one didn't. So the speedy criteria need to be examined freshly on each version. Fan-1967 20:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Little context in Kolender v. Lawson
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Kolender v. Lawson, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Kolender v. Lawson is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Kolender v. Lawson, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Variety (botany)

In botanical nomenclature, variety (abbreviated var.; in varietas) is a taxonomic rank below that of species and subspecies, but above that of form. As such, it gets a three-part infraspecific name. It is sometimes recommended that the subspecies rank should be used to recognize geographic distinctiveness, whereas the variety rank is appropriate if the taxon is seen throughout the geographic range of the species.

Example
The pincushion cactus, Escobaria vivipara (Nutt.) Buxb. , is a wide-ranging variable species occurring from Canada to Mexico, and found throughout New Mexico below about 2600 m. Nine varieties have been described. Where the varieties of the pincushion cactus meet, they intergrade. The variety Escobaria vivipara var. arizonica is from Arizona, while Escobaria vivipara var. neo-mexicana is from New Mexico.

See also Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum

Definitions
The term is defined in different ways by different authors. However, the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, while recognizing that the word "variety" is often used to denote "cultivar", does not accept this usage. Variety is defined in the code as follows: "Variety (varietas) the category in the botanical nomenclatural hierarchy between species and form (forma)". The code acknowledges the other usage as follows: "term used in some national and international legislation for a clearly distinguishable taxon below the rank of species; generally, in legislative texts, a term equivalent to cultivar. See also: cultivar and variety (varietas)".

A variety will have an appearance distinct from other varieties, but will hybridize freely with those other varieties.

Other nomenclature uses

 * In plant breeding nomenclature, at least in countries that are signatory to the UPOV Convention, "variety" or "plant variety" is a legal term.
 * In zoological nomenclature, the only allowed rank below that of species is that of subspecies. A name that was published before 1961 as that of a variety is taken to be the name of a subspecies. A name published after 1960 as that of a variety does not formally exist. In zoology, forms and morphs are used informally if needed, but are unregulated by the ICZN.
 * The bacteriological nomenclature uses the term subspecies. Some names were published as "varieties" before 1992 but the terminology is now disallowed; names that were published as varieties are taken to be published as subspecies.
 * In viticulture nomenclature, what is referred to as "grape varieties" are in reality cultivars according to usage in the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants or "plant varieties" in the legal sense rather than botanical taxonomy varieties, since they are propagated by cuttings and have properties that are not stable under sexual reproduction. However, usage of the term variety is so entrenched in viticulture that a change to cultivar is unlikely.
