Edit

It is a sentence fragment I recently added, since you forgot to use {{cite needed}} I have re added it with appropriate source. if you have any further with it please take it to the talk page.--Mor2 (talk) 07:51, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's a non-neutral sentence fragment. The source you used to readd it is not at all an appropriate source. Please, as I asked you, revert yourself or rewrite it to be neutral and acceptably sourced. I'll talk it to the talk page of the article too, but seriously, non-neutral unsourced sentence fragments are not okay. Kevin Gorman (talk) 07:52, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding what we talked about. I seen your recent edits and I still think that phrasing there is little bit murky, though overall its a great improvement.--Mor2 (talk) 14:18, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kevin. I noticed your post on Drmies' talk page about this mushroom. I'm curious to know where the species has been described, because I can't find any information about it. Can you let me know/add the reference to the article? Thanks SmartSE (talk) 17:12, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get the article updated and in to main space later today. It was described in the December edition of the journal Czech Mycology. Kevin Gorman (talk) 20:48, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah right, so it is actually Psilocybe allenii then? SmartSE (talk) 21:02, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it is. 'Cyanofriscosa' was one of the names used for the mushroom before it was described, since it was pretty clearly distinct from the other members of the caramel capped psilocybe complex, and was what the original Wikipedia article had named it as. I had it userfied hoping that there would be useful reusable information in it that I could scrape for an article on Psilocybe allenii, but unfortunately it looks like the original article was pretty sparse. I'll have an article up in main space later today under the correct name hopefully. Kevin Gorman (talk) 21:11, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kevin. Thanks for posting on my page and for your offer of help with planning the upcoming sessions. I would be delighted to meet with you to discuss this more, especially as I'm now in the active planning phases. Are you free any time this week to meet by phone? Please feel free to email me, as well. Thanks! Michaelturken (talk) 07:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I have pneumonia currently, so I'm definitely not good for the next few days as talking is hard :) I'll definitely email you soon. I'll be free to meet up in person probably from the 16th to the 21st, and then starting again in early January. Kevin Gorman (talk) 07:27, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am so sorry to hear you are not well. Please take my best wishes for a speedy recovery and get in touch with me whenever you feel up to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelturken (talkcontribs) 07:37, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I created an essay

You inspired me to do it. Wikipedia:Recruiting those in academia or WP:RECRUIT. Could you share your wisdom there? Thanks. Biosthmors (talk) 19:07, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I have an awful lot on my plate this month, and this is something I would rather do properly than halfassedly (or while sick.) At some point - hopefully in the not that distant future - I will try to do a writeup of some of my outreach activities, covering stuff like how they've been conducted, how I've presented the value proposition of the assignment, how they've been received, how they've grown, and all that fun stuff.
