An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Weston State Hospital, was selected for DYK!
Thanks for your contributions!  Nish kid 64  00:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Weston State Hospital
My understanding is that bolding is useful if: Since this is neither the first (it's been called "Weston State Hospital" for nearly a century), nor the second case (the titles are much lower in the article), I don't think it's pertinent to bold randomly in the article. Circeus 13:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) The title is in reasonably common use (how likely is it that this "alternative title" will be used for a link, or in the search box?)
 * 2) The alternate title is in the first sentence, or at least, the first paragraph.
 * 3) The title is an alternate name for the article topic (e.g. Brady Leaf goes to Ryan Leaf but is not bolded).

Geobox River
Fixed, there was a bug in the subtemplate that handles unit conversions, must have been there for some time. Thanks. – Caroig 08:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

New NRHP Collaboration Division
Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:11, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

tributaries
Thanks for setting me "right" on the left/right thing (I guess I stuck with the way we list crossings, going upstream rather than down. Daniel Case 13:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Discharge figures
I see what you mean ... sort of assumed without looking too closely that those were the avg daily figure.

Is this something more like what you want (average daily discharges per year)? We could add (2005) to the footnote in question. Daniel Case 04:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Or you could find a way to derive an all-time average from this data. Daniel Case 04:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

That math, I believe, would be OK under the new policy: ''Editors may make straightforward mathematical calculations or logical deductions based on fully attributed data that neither change the significance of the data nor require additional assumptions beyond what is in the source. It should be possible for any reader without specialist knowledge to understand the deductions.'' I've been incorporating this new data into the geoboxes I've been adding, starting with Wallkill River (which I can look at out my window as I'm typing, and definitely hear ... I live near this. It makes what's already a very time-consuming and painstaking process even more so, but it's worth it.

I love these geoboxes. Since I added one to Catskill Mountains and then Hudson River, I've been on one of my obsessive little tears putting them into every article for which a map was available in the Northeast. That's how I wound up getting so involved in those West Virginia rivers ... you've done a good job there! Daniel Case 16:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Geobox River Clean-up
I'm planning to do some major cleanup to this Geobox. Based on this one I developped a few more similar Geoboxes to cover other geographic features and the "framework" has developped too. I'd like to bring the Geobox River template up-to-date with all other templates in this series. Don't worry, you would probably not notice – no fields are going to be removed, there will be no changes in the output, it's just cleaning-up the code.

Anyway, you seem to be definitely the most active user of this template, the most experienced one so I'd like to ask for some obeservations. Are then any issues, bugs, do you have any ideas for improvement? These would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. (I've checked your edits, there's some inconsistency in some of the note fields concerning the field names, I see you corrected some, thanks for that, I'll try to track all remaning down.) – Caroig 19:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The cleanup's finished. I've checked the cleaned template on some pages and it seems everything's alright, I'll update the documentation and blank templates accordingly. I've renamed (shortened) a few fields but their old names are accepted too. If there are any issues, I'd appreciate if you report them. There are also some extra functions and a field for a second map. I've made some rather cosmetic changes concerning home some values and fields are displayed. I don't think the label Discharge elsewhere sounds very good, any idea? I'm also not very sure whether it wouldn't be better English to have Source confluence instead of current Sources confluence. – Caroig 19:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Second attempt. There's certain inconsistency in the template implementation which, until now, hasn't been very clear to me. Well, now I know. The problem was that some older pages have blank fields for metric fields when the values are in the imperial fields. Unfortunatelly, I was checking the imperial units (and actually the whole new code) on Monongahela River which is of a later date and doesn't have those blank metric fields. On initial lauch of the Geobox River I provided only one template which contained both types of fields, the newer blank templates have either metric or imperial values so one can't have problems with this. If you can, please start new pages with one of those blank templates from the bottom of the Geobox River page, they should always contain up-to-date fields. And another thing, when specifying the image or map width, you don't have to (actually shouldn't) put in px, just the number. Under certain circumstances it causes problems with alignment in some browsers. I apologize for the temporary broken output. Should be Ok now. – Caroig 21:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Fixed, the problem was that all newer Geobox use long_EW fields instead of long_WE which is in the Geobox River. The template now accepts both, I'll probably swap this using AWB fro better consistency. I've also corrected this in the blank templates. Again, thanks a lot for your feedback. – Caroig 07:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Big Wheeling Creek
Thanks for joining me on Wheeling Creek and creating the article. I simply started the watershed list and graph because I was curious. I've asked the Wikiproject editors about historical crests and floods, but do you think that should be on the article page or on a separate entry? Mphamilton 06:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Maybe I need clarification...
Maybe you could clarify this for me. I really would like to include flood information on Wheeling Creek most notably the 1963, 1972, 1990, and 2004 floods on Big Wheeling Creek. Can these go on the Wheeling Creek article page rather than in separate articles for each event, or can a subsection be created on Wheeling Creek for historical flood events?

External Links / City Articles
Don't you think valid links on how to form a business in the city of Rochester is a valid external link. I don't see how it's not. Kiamori 00:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Was it necessary to come to my talk page to respond and then leave a rude/arrogant comment? Apparently so.

I have to disagree with your response.

Regarding your question about the external links you're wanting to add to articles about cities in Minnesota -- the links aren't appropriate because Wikipedia is not a directory and it's not an indiscriminate collection of information. Per Wikipedia's external links guidelines, "it is not Wikipedia's purpose to include a comprehensive list of external links related to each topic." "Links should be kept to a minimum." Avoid linking to "sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article." Using more general logic, what if I'm in Minnesota and I want to obtain a driver's license? Should I look to the Wikipedia article about Rochester? No, because that's not Wikipedia's purpose. The same applies to learning how to start a business. If someone were to want to start a business in Rochester, they would follow those same links to legally register the business. Kiamori 00:41, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with your removal of those links, having seen the discussion at WT:EL and your additional comments here. I hope the editor will not persist. EdJohnston 03:33, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Cranberry River (West Virginia) anon edit
The anon is correct, though :)  young  american  (ahoy hoy) 22:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Chicago Landmark Stubification
I noticed that you have edited Wabash Avenue YMCA this week, which is one of the new WP:CHICOTW stubs. This week, we WP:WPChi are focussing on stubifying the numerous redlinks in Chicago Landmark with a goal of getting over half the redlinks stubified (we began with about 25%). This will improve our chance of getting it approved as a featured list candidate. When reviewing this week's new stub contributing editors your name was absent. You may want to choose a redlink or two from Chicago Landmark and create a stub before this week's project ends on 5/16 so that you can be a part of our drive for featured list status.

CHICOTW
TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 00:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Chicago Landmark Stubification
I am writing you because you either (1) edited Chicago Landmark 5 weeks ago when it was the WP:CHICOTW (2) edited it or created a stub last week when we had the stubification drive for it or (3) you nominated an article to be the CHICOTW in the last few days.

I have finally had a chance to take a tally on last week’s stubification effort. Based on my manual count we now have 109 bluelinks on a total of 241 landmarks. Preliminary indications were that for our article to be successful at WP:FLC we would need to eventually rename it (something like List of Chicago Landmarks) and get the majority of the landmarks linked. Based on my cursory count we need to write 12 more articles to get to a majority. It would be great if you might be able to assist by creating a couple stubs to assist in this effort. Here are some of the stubs that were created during last week’s efforts: Black Metropolis-Bronzeville District, Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Arthur H. Compton House & One North LaSalle. Among the articles still redlinked are 2 buildings on this week’s CHICOTW, Magnificent Mile (Perkins, Fellows & Hamilton Office and Studio, Woman's Athletic Club). Recall that each redlink on Chicago Landmark has a footnote to a reference that gives you enough info to create a stub. If you create a new stub please add it to WikiProject_Chicago so that we can keep track of the progress. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 15:46, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

More help needed
If you have been following along at WP:FLC you know we need help creating stubs for the List to make it a more useful list and help it achieve WP:FLC status. Since I reminded people of this 7 stubs have been created. We need about 40 more to be safe although we may have a successful candidacy with the article as it stands.

Some of you may also be following the success of WP:CHICOTW at WikiProject Chicago/COTW/Good Articles. For the last 4 weeks no one has been very active. Thus, I am fearful that Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Harold Washington Cultural Center, Crown Fountain, & Art Institute of Chicago Building will all fail at WP:GAC when their turns come up. Also, Magnificent Mile did not experience the collaborative spirit. Our reputation as a successful collaboration is at stake. In addition to making stubs for the FLC we need your contribution to our collaborations. I am sorry to pull you away from whatever other wikipleasures you may be experiencing, but we need your help.

Link
Why would you remove my link from the Mason/Point/Mason County sites? That link is for people who do not know about that site who are from Point Pleasant, Mason, or Mason County to look at and keep up to date on people in their home town and even look at the past. It's nothing bad so why delete it? I mean honestly. It's a great thing that I do and people here LOVE my site and want people to find out about it. I didn't know that showing people a link to the sports of their hometowns was a bad thing

Pretty bad thing to do to take people away from a chance of seeing their past.-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gobigblacks (talk • contribs) 22:38, 11 July, 2007

First off, I was not ADVERTISING the site. I was putting it on there because it has something to do with POINT PLEASANT kind of like the MOTHMAN or anything of that sort. People appreciate that site and i'm sure people across the nation that went to our school would love to know that it exists. That site is a 100% volunteer site and I do not need to advertise so try again on that one.

People have Mothman links on the Point Pleasant page. Mothman is a figure in Point Pleasant just like high school sports are a figure in Point Pleasant. The Mothman has nothing to do with Point Pleasant, it just happened to happen here.

It was not adverstising. People deserve to know that sites like that exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gobigblacks (talk • contribs) 13:15, 12 July, 2007

Very belated reply
Some months ago I prodded you to disambig Laurel Fork to Laurel Fork (Cheat River). I've meant to reply for a long time to say that you are probably right that there is no real need to disambig. Sorry to have made trouble. Contrarywise, I'm not sure if I posted here about it, but your comments wrt the Monongahela maps I made are something I reread now and then; reading them makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Just wanted to let you know if I hadn't before. Thanks very much! Also, I think I'd read something about the "hand" shape of the tributaries including Laurel Fork. I wish there was similar lore about the rivers of Washington state. It seems that in the east, and perhaps especially in Appalachia, there is an old and deep connection to the land, at least among some people. In Washington, there is a strong love of the outdoors, of hiking and wilderness, but even so, there seems to be a lack of depth compared to the Appalachians. ...someday I'll get around to exploring West Virginia!

Historical Population Figures
I happen to have been looking over your user talk page to see where you got those historical population figures that you contributed to some of the West Virginia city articles like Charleston and Huntington that I saw, so I went to Caponer user talk page and happen to find the web site to all that information. I added historical population figure charts to Ohio city articles like Mansfield, Canton, Springfield, and Chillicothe. If it wasen't for you then I would had never known where to look for all that information that I needed. Thank you so much for your support. Happy editing!---OHWiki 01:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Geobox 2
Hello, this message is sent to you because you've shown some interest in the Geobox templates in past. There is now a new version (aka Geobox 2) which supersedes all older Geoboxes (aka Geobox 1). The major difference is there are no feature specific templates (Settlement, River, Mountain range etc.) but just one master template which can handle all type of data. There are a couple of new features and many new fields making the template much more versatile so now it can be used for virtually any geography related feature without the need to create a specific template.

The switch to Geoboxes 2.0 is highly recommended as the new template has a much more effective code, which renders faster than the old one (with much smaller pre-expand size, it can be one third to one fourth of the pre-expand size of Geoboxes 1). To convert aa page from Geobox 1 to Geobox 2, there are two ways:
 * By changing the template header: {{Geobox Settlement  becomes  {{Geobox|Settlement  Although some field names have been changed in order to be unified, the old names are accepted too. For any settlement Geobox use  {{Geobox|Settlement  and set the settlement type (city, borough, town, village) in category field. Calling e.g.  {{Geobox|City  will work as well but it's not the recommended way (from technical reasons).
 * By a semi-automated tool which reorders the field names in the Geobox 2 style and also renames the few changed field names.

There are several unresolved issues at the Geobox talk page, please add your comments and of course any other ideas you might come with as well as bug reports. – Caroig (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Guyandotte River
Hey there- I have lived in a few of the places you are mentioning as being on the Guyandotte, they are not. What resource are you using here?Coal town guy (talk) 01:58, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Openstreetmap; Google maps; DeLorme atlas; and clicking the coordinates link in the upper right of the page so as to get a pin on a Google map in cases where it's not clear. Perhaps I made mistakes; which ones are in question? --Malepheasant (talk) 02:04, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Corinne, Amigo, Itmann, I use the topo data at the WVGS, its far more acuurate as thefolks who did that survey, walked the area. Google maps for that area tend to use a data set that is inaccurate ti within 1 to 3 miles. Its most error prone in Raleigh, MsDowell, and Kanawha Counties...ever try to find a coal town with google maps in McDowell County, I tried, once.A biblical level bad bad dayCoal town guy (talk) 02:11, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry to mix up the replying, I'll keep it here henceforth. As I noted, the GNIS/US Board on Geographic Names puts Itmann's dot on Rt. 16/10.  And I see buildings between Rt. 16 and the river in the aerial photo. Malepheasant (talk) 02:24, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The USGS says the Guyandotte River begins at Amigo (these coordinates are from the GNIS entry): 37.59761°N, -81.32177°W Malepheasant (talk) 02:38, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * When you say on the river, what do you mean? IF you mean, I get up, open a window and see it, no, not so. If you mean on a map it looks close. Sure. By that logic, McLean VA is on the Potomac, and well, its not. I could drive 4 + miles to Great Falls and see it sure. BUT I am not on it. Sorry to seem so picky, but I have hiked Amigo, and Corinne, and filmed Itmann, and walked Mullens and lived in the area for a few years Coal town guy (talk) 02:44, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Read your "edit summary" on Stephenson WV...ha ha ha. Look, the place that GNIS calls Stphension, is actually an old town named Devils Fork and they got it wrong. AND YES, I have spoken to Lou Yost at GNIS about it anmd yes, its a creek that comes off of the river. Stephenson, had mines in Wyoming County, Devils Fork, had mines in Raleigh, BUT GNIS says one became the other, no, not so, sorry. The deal was Devils Fork is from the 20's. AND after spending a few years in the WV Culture archives and after actually interviewing people who worked at the Devils Fork mine, and recalling a creek they fished out of, which did indeed come off of the river, swell. Why not claim Arizona is on the Potomac? Its on the same land mass??????right????? I am sorry I removed the cat, please mark all of them you want, go nuts, do one just for meCoal town guy (talk) 02:52, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Beetree Creek is NOT the Guyandot
Hey there, I actually looked at the Delorme Atlas, in book form, ever hear of Beetree creek? Its that thing that comes off of the Guyandott and what local folks fished out of near Stephenson WV. I will NOT revert your edit.Coal town guy (talk) 03:40, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

File:Chunky River.jpg and many others
Hi. You have uploaded many good photos :-) I think the files should be copied to Commons so they can be used on other Wikipedias. The transfer to Commons will look much better if the license is changed to "self" but I will not do that unless I'm sure to do it right. Just to be 100 % sure could you perhaps confirm that you are the photographer when Tim is mentioned? --MGA73 (talk) 13:13, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Potamogeton gemmiparus, problems
Hello, hope you and yours are well. I see that you have created the article Potamogeton gemmiparus. Thank you for trying to make WP a better thing. But, I'm sorry, that article is not correct. Consulting Plants of the World Online (I find it the most up-to-date, and down to earth of the plant site), P. gemmiparus is a synonym for Potamogeton berchtoldii subsp. gemmiparus (J.W.Robbins) Les & Tippery. It is not a synonym for Potamogeton pusillus var. gemmiparus, that taxa is a synonym for the berchtoldii taxa. What to do? We can rename the article and correct, linking it to the species article, or we can include the info, and a new taxobox for the subsp., in the main species article. An important addition to either alternative would be the taxonbar for the subsp. May I recomend that you go to WP:Wikiproject Plants for some tips and how to do's, and please join if you would like to. Of course, you can ask me, but I'm afraid I am not as good on the mechanics of WP as some, but I will try to answer and help you with requests. Again, thanks for making WP a better thing. Brunswicknic (talk) 12:27, 11 April 2021 (UTC) p.s.

You made a mistake on a post
G Sethwar1 (talk) 10:16, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Mistake/False information
You made a mistake/false information about the Blackfoot page when you edited in membership you put in the Gros venture & tsuu'tina Nation as members when they aren't. The gros venture did joined the Blackfoot Confederacy in the mid 1800s but later left in the late 1800s it also says it direct in its wiki page. The tsuu'tina nation aren't blackfoot either they did borrow a large part of are culture but are not apart of the Blackfoot Confederacy. Nor do they speak the same language or the same dialect of language Algonquin. Both the Gros Venture and the Tsuu'tina/Sarcee nation aren't legally or federally recognized by both the United States of America and Canada as a member of the Blackfoot Confederacy. I ask that you change this misinformation thank you. Sethwar1 (talk) 10:26, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

PS please reply when you read this thank you very much. Sethwar1 (talk) 13:42, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no recollection of any such edit. Are you sure it wasn't someone else who made it? Anyway, the way Wikipedia works is that you don't need to ask people to fix mistakes that they made, you can just fix it yourself. Go ahead and fix the article as you see fit.

WRDQ

WRDQ (channel 27) is an independent television station in Orlando, Florida, United States. It is owned by Cox Media Group alongside ABC affiliate WFTV (channel 9). The two stations share studios on East South Street in downtown Orlando; WRDQ's transmitter is located near Bithlo, Florida.

History
The station's original construction permit was issued as early as 1990. Channel 27 first signed on the air on April 23, 2000, under the ownership of Reece Associates Ltd., with WFTV (which has been owned by Cox since 1985) operating the station under a local marketing agreement (LMA); Reece was co-owned by former WFTV reporter/anchor Marsha Reece. Several months before WRDQ signed on, in August 1999, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) began allowing duopolies involving commercially licensed television stations, allowing Cox to exercise an option to acquire the station outright on February 1, 2001.

On May 24, 2011, Cox decided to use WRDQ to carry coverage of the Casey Anthony trial in full from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with WFTV airing the last hour from 4 to 5 p.m., preempting the station's weekday programming schedule. High interest in the trial eventually led to coverage being increasingly shifted to WFTV (with WRDQ generally only airing "more procedural" and "more dry or technical" portions); on June 8, coverage was moved to WFTV entirely, after ABC granted Cox permission to move ABC Daytime programming to WRDQ for remainder of the trial's duration. It returned to WFTV upon the trial's conclusion. ABC Daytime was temporarily moved to WRDQ once more during WFTV's coverage of the George Zimmerman trial in 2013.

Newscasts
Shortly after the station signed on, WFTV began producing a nightly half-hour 10 p.m. newscast for WRDQ (this resulted in the discontinuance of a prime time newscast in that same timeslot that WFTV had produced for then-UPN affiliate WRBW [channel 65] under a news share agreement); this program competes with an in-house newscast that runs for an hour on Fox owned-and-operated station WOFL (channel 35) and a newscast produced by NBC affiliate WESH that it produces for CW-affiliated sister station WKCF (channel 18).

On June 29, 2006, WFTV began broadcasting newscasts in high definition; the WRDQ shows were included in the upgrade.

In January 2007, WFTV also began producing a two-hour weekday morning newscast from 7 to 9 a.m. on channel 27. Prior to the debut of the morning newscast, the 10 p.m. news program was branded as Action News at 10. This title was derived from WRDQ's general station branding ("Action TV 27") at the time of the station's launch ("Action" had ceased to be used as an overall station branding term several years before the newscast was renamed). WRDQ has also aired The Daily Buzz from 7 to 9 a.m. on digital subchannel 27.2, preempting some classic programming broadcast by Antenna TV that are seen on that slot nationally on that network's other affiliates. On two occasions, WRDQ has also aired early evening newscasts; a 7 p.m. newscast was produced for a time in March 2003 to present Iraq War coverage, and a 6:30 p.m. newscast was seen on the station from September 2010 until it was dropped in June 2013 in favor of a 4 p.m. newscast on WFTV. On September 15, 2014, WFTV expanded the weeknight 10 p.m. news on WRDQ to an hour, citing the ratings success of the broadcast in which has now able to tightly compete against long-time leader WOFL.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed: {{legend|#E6FFF7|Simulcast of subchannels of another station}} {{legend|#DFEBF6|Broadcast on behalf of another station}}

On April 14, 2008, the station launched a new digital sub-channel 27.2 to carry the Retro Television Network. On September 5, 2011, WRDQ replaced RTV with Antenna TV on its second digital subchannel. The RTV affiliation in Orlando then moved to a sub-channel of competitor WKMG-TV and later onto WRCF-CD. In June 2013, WRDQ added a third sub-channel 27.3. In January 2014, 27.3 was remapped as virtual channel 31.2 and used for a simulcast of Telemundo Orlando affiliate WTMO. On April 10, 2015, a fourth sub-channel 27.4 was added to accommodate the move of Grit TV from sister station WFTV. In 2020, WRDQ replaced Antenna TV with a duplicate station of Court TV on 27.2 which can be also seen on WOTF-DT5. On August 15, 2021, This TV replaced Grit TV. Sometime in May 2024, HSN2 replaced This TV.

Analog-to-digital conversion
WRDQ shut down its analog signal, on UHF channel 27, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 14 to channel 27 for post-transition operations.

Sebastes

Sebastes is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae part of the family Scorpaenidae, most of which have the common name of rockfish. A few are called ocean perch, sea perch or redfish instead. They are found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Taxonomy
Sebastes was first described as a genus in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier, the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker designated Perca norvegica, which may have been originally described by the Norwegian zoologist Peter Ascanius in 1772, as the type species in 1876. The genus is the type genus of both the tribe Sebastini and the subfamily Sebastinae, although some authorities treat these as the subfamily Sebastinae and the family Sebastidae, separating the Sebastidae as a distinct family from the Scorpaenidae. but other authorities place it in the Perciformes in the suborder Scorpaenoidei.

The genus name is derived from the Greek Sebastos, an honorific used in ancient Greek for the Roman imperial title of Augustus, an allusion to the old name for S. norvegicus on Ibiza, its type locality, which Cuvier translated as “august” or “venerable”.

The fossil record of rockfish goes back to the Miocene, with unequivocal whole body fossils and otoliths from California and Japan (although fossil otoliths from Belgium, "Sebastes" weileri, may push the record back as far as the early Oligocene).

Species
Sebastes contains 109 recognized extant species in this genus are:

Characteristics
Sebastes species have bodies which vary from elongate to deep, and which may be moderately to highly compressed with a comparatively large head. Their eyes vary from large to small. They may have spines on the head or these may be absent, if spines are present these can be small and weak to robust and there can be up to 8 of them. They lack a spiny horizontal ridge below the eye. The jaws have many small conical teeth and there are teeth on the roof of the mouth. The single dorsal fin is typically strongly incised at the posterior of the spiny portion which contains 12-15 robust, venom-bearing spines and to the rear of these are 9-16 soft rays, The anal fin has 2-4 spines and 6 to 11 soft rays. There is a spine in each of the pelvic fins as well as 5 soft rays and these are placed under the pectoral fins. The pectoral fins are large and may be rounded or pointed in shape with 14-22 soft rays, the longest being the central rays. The caudal fin is straight to slightly concave. The lateral line may have pored or tubed scales. They vary in size from a maximum total length of 13.7 cm in S. koreanus to 108 cm in S. borealis.

Distribution
Sebastes rockfish are found in the temperate North and South Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Rockfish range from the intertidal zone to almost 3000 m deep, usually living benthically on various substrates, often, as the name suggests, around rock outcrops.

Biology
Sebastes rockfish may be long-lived, amongst the longest-living fish on earth, with several species known to surpass 100 years of age, and a maximum reported age of 205 years for S. aleutianus.

Ecotoxicology, radioecology
Like all carnivores, these fish can bioaccumulate some pollutants or radionuclides such as cesium. Highly radioactive rockfish have been caught in a port near Fukushima city, Japan, not far from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, nearly 2 years after the nuclear disaster (ex: 107000 Bq/kg (2013-02-12); 116000 Bq/kg (2013-02-13) and 132000Bq/kg (2013-02-13), respectively 1070, 1160, and 1320 times more than the maximum allowed by Japanese authorities (as updated on April 1, 2012)

Fisheries
Sebastes rockfish are important sport and commercial fish, and many species have been overfished. As a result, seasons are tightly controlled in many areas. Sebastes species are sometimes fraudulently substituted for the more expensive northern red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus).

Petechial rash
I too had somewhat stubbled over 'petechia' when editing Meningococcus, however there already was a page for purpura (purpuric redirects to this) of which petechia are a particular type. Can I suggest that you transfer your information across to purpura and make the petechial page redirect to it? Code for this is to have as only item on page:  *REDIRECT purpuria
