Toxin-antitoxin system GA Review

Thanks so much for your comments, myself and Paul have hopefully addressed the issues you raised which were holding back the article from being GA standard. Please let me know if there are still things which need fixing :) Again, thanks for taking your time to do the review Jebus989^✰ 20:30, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping; I've been watching the improvements in the background. I'll have a thorough read-through again later tonight and let you know if there's any other concerns. Sasata (talk) 20:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the second lot of issues hopefully, thanks again Jebus989^✰ 14:36, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks to you both for your hardwork on this article. Great job! --Paul (talk) 20:28, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Daydream (Mariah Carey album)/archive1

Hi Sasata, thanks for your comments. You'll ironically find that was indeed the only section with some Copy-edit issues. Anyway, I went through the entire article just in case and fixed some things. Please check back at the FAC page. Thank you :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 23:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alrighty I will ask someone not involved in the project, but I honestly don't understand the problem with your "new additions" lol, maybe I'm just not such an English whiz :p. Care to explain a bit? Thanks :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 00:25, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Three spelling mistakes, one improper contraction use (explained previously). That's why you need a copyeditor. Sasata (talk) 01:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Phallus calongei

On 3 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Phallus calongei, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

FOUR

I am not sure if you have been keeping up with nominating your WP:FOUR-eligible articles so i am encouraging you to do so.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:32, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:OTRS help

Sure- I'll get to this tomorrow evening some time. J Milburn (talk) 16:59, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that worked out a surprisingly busy weekend! In any case, nice work. That would be a brilliant candidate for what valued pictures should be; despite the rarity and EV, it's not at the level of FP, but still, to my eyes, warrants recognition. I'll add it to the portal now. J Milburn (talk) 11:58, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aseroe coccinea DYK

Well... jeez Louise, I had to at least try to one up you ;) Rcej (Robert) - talk 03:38, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Posting a counter-alt soon ... Sasata (talk) 03:40, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

grrr Rcej (Robert) - talk 03:49, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You should be happy we're presenting fungal trivia to mankind in the most accurate way possible :) (p.s. didya see that Phallus calongei pic? Cool, or what?) Sasata (talk) 04:02, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond cool... its viagrish! ;) Rcej (Robert) - talk 04:07, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for your help with this, I'll do a final check in the next couple of days, and then throw it to the wolves Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:34, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Aseroe coccinea

On 7 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Aseroe coccinea, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that although the fungus Aseroe coccinea was characterized in 1989, its validation as a species was delayed until 2007 because the initial description was not in Latin? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Main page apperance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on November 9, 2010. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 9, 2010. If you think that it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Geastrum triplex is an inedible species of fungus belonging to the genus Geastrum, or earthstar fungi. First described in 1840 as Geaster triplex, several authors have suggested that Geastrum indicum, described in 1832, is the legitimate name for the species. Immature fruit bodies are spherical—somewhat resembling puffballs with pointed beaks—and are partially or completely buried in the ground. As the fungus matures, the outer layer of tissue (the exoperidium) splits into four to eight pointed segments which spread outwards and downwards, lifting and exposing the spherical inner spore sac. The spore sac contains the gleba, a mass of spores and fertile mycelial tissue that when young is white and firm, but ages to become brown and powdery. The species is the largest of the earthstar fungi, with a tip to tip length of an expanded mature specimen reaching up to 12 centimeters (4.7 in). Geastrum triplex is a common and widespread species found in the detritus and leaf litter of hardwood forests in many parts of the world, including Asia, Australasia, Europe, and both North and South America. Fruit bodies have been analyzed chemically to determine their lipid content, and various chemical derivatives of the fungal sterol ergosterol have been identified. The fungus has a history of use in the traditional medicines of native North America and China. (more...)

New fossil fungi articles

I just wanted to let you know that I have put up three more fossil fungi articles. They are at Appianoporites, Margaretbarromyces, and Quatsinoporites. I also have submitted them for a dyk... --Kev min § 00:19, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool! I'll read them and copyedit soon. I still plan to push all of these fossil fungi to GA, but there's just so many interesting distractions in this place (!) so it may take a while. Coincidentally, G. triplex (see message above) got picked for TFA, and I've been working on a fossil earthstar Geastrum tepexensis that should be ready to go "live" soon. Sasata (talk) 01:49, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, and thanks

Congratulations on yet another masterpiece (Geastrum triplex) to FA status. And thanks again for all your help in reviewing my tracheal intubation article a couple of months back. Your assistance has been invaluable! Cheers, DiverDave (talk) 14:19, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm glad your last "trial by fire" wasn't too traumatic, and am looking forward to seeing you back at FAC again. Sasata (talk) 14:40, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Waitea nuda

I can't understand, is it species or synonym? Can I del it from synonyms list of Waitea circinata? Some advice? --Adept Ukraine (talk) 21:48, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tough call. Are you European or American? MycoBank lists them as synonyms, they reflect North American naming tendencies. Index Fungorum considers them separate species; they typically go with European preferences for species names.W. nuda is a European species, so I went with Index Fungorum, but digging into the literature would be needed to help resolve this—but even then it might not answer the question :) I'll look around a bit more later and see if I can come up with a more definitive answer. Sasata (talk) 22:25, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am European so I would go with European:) But I'll wait results from your digging. Thanks in advance:) I found only this http://www.smg.ethz.ch/MycologiaHelvetica/Cl%8emen%8don90-4-1.pdf :( --Adept Ukraine (talk) 23:47, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your favourite reference...

Hey Sasata, just noticed that the ISBN you use in Kirk PM, Cannon PF, Minter DW, Stalpers JA. (2008). Dictionary of the Fungi (10th ed.). Wallingford, UK: CABI. p. 728. ISBN 978-85199-826-8. {{cite book}}: Check |isbn= value: length (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) is wrong... (try clicking it) it should be 9780851998268 instead (dashes make no difference apparently). There are quite a few to correct, but I imagine that someone with WP:AWB could sort it out in not that long. Congrats on your first pic by the way, hopefully it'll be the first of many! SmartSE (talk) 22:17, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Argh. Yes, there will be a few to correct... where does a guy to go to make large-scale AWB requests like these? Sasata (talk) 22:36, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Err dunno, maybe ask at Wikipedia:Bot requests or Rich Farmbrough or Rjwilmsi and somebody will be able to fix it. SmartSE (talk) 23:06, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do it. J Milburn (talk) 23:20, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JM! My watchlist is suddenly as long as my arm! Sasata (talk) 00:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please correct the spelling of the title of the Kalaharituber page? I've corrected the content but don't know how to change the banner. thanks Trappem (talk) 18:38, 11 November 2010 (UTC) trappem[reply]
