image Three araucarias.jpg

Hey Peter, cool photo. I love araucarias. It would be great if you could add to pic some data about where it was taken, just for the curious, like me.

Red Cedar move

Hi Peter1968! I have already listed two botanical sources in Toona ciliata:

NSW FloraOnline by Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. See:

http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Toona~ciliata

In that site the current name of the Red Cedar is Toona ciliata M.Roem. and Toona australis (F.Muell.) Harms is a synonym.

GRIN Taxonomy for Plants by USDA, ARS, National Genetic Resources Program. See:

http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?36753

Also in this site the current name is T. ciliata M.Roem., and there are 3 synonyms: Cedrela toona, Cedrela velutina, and Toona australis Harms. This site gives natural distribution: Afganistan, China, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, AUSTRALIA (NSW and Queensland).

Other online sources, for example:

Australian Plant Census by Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria. See:

http://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni?taxon_id=63392

Toona ciliata M.Roem. is again the correct name and Toona australis (F.Muell.) Harms is a synonym.

Global Biodiversity Information Facility. See:

http://data.gbif.org/species/13744241/

The correct name is Toona ciliata Roemer. Synonyms are missing but the common name is Australian Redcedar. Also the distribution map shows that Australia is included in the distributional range. (The map does not show the total range and it includes also some areas where the species is exotic.)

AgroForestryTree Database by World Agroforestry Centre. See:

http://www.worldagroforestry.org/Sea/Products/AFDbases/AF/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID=1649

The current name is Toona ciliata M.Roem. and there are six synonyms including Toona australis (F. Muell.) Harms. Common names are: Australian red cedar, Australian toon, Burma cedar, Burma toon, Indian cedar, Indian mahogany, Indian toon, moulmein cedar, Queensland red cedar, red cedar, toon tree, toona tree. Geographic distribution, native: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam. Australia is missing from this list but identity of the species is clear because of the synonym T. australis and the common name Australian red cedar.

NCBI taxonomy database. See:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=67918&lvl=3&p=mapview&p=has_linkout&p=blast_url&p=genome_blast&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock

Toona ciliata is the correct name and Toona australis is a synonym.

Integrated Taxonomic Information System by Smithsonian Institution. See:

http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=29029

Toona ciliata. Taxonomic Status, Current Standing: ACCEPTED

Search result for Toona australis: Taxonomic Status, Current Standing: NOT ACCEPTED - SYNONYM. Krasanen (talk) 19:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image sizes

Not sure why the edit -- I based the image sizes on what I had seen around wikipedia, as well as what permitted reasonable legibility. Almost every logo is reproduced between 200 and 250 pixels wide. And you change to 100px. Most screen shots are between 280 and 320 pixels wide. And you change it to 150px. Why? This isn't wapedia. I have reverted the images to the smallest reasonable sizes, to satisfy you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simonwright (talk • contribs) 05:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Monroe D.

You may well be right. I tend to revert most undescribed deletions, especially by anons and especially from heavily-vandalized articles. If you think the material should be deleted or trimmed due to the lack of sources then go ahead. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 01:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

April 2008

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted. This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, although this instance has been repaired, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. What mean "folksy edits" ?

It looks like the problem is with the license on Commons - that version uses a GFDL license with disclaimers, while the en Wikipedia version doesn't. Would you mind changing the license on the Commons version from "GFDL-en" to just "GFDL"? Kelly ^hi! 05:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Remoteluxury1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Remoteluxury1.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 07:28, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Eyes Oveworld cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Eyes Oveworld cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Les Norton

Thanks for the comment on my talk page. I will try and explain my position in more detail than is possible in an edit summary and hopefully it will make more sense.

I removed the PROD tag because I think there could possibly be a case made that the article is worth keeping. I have my personal doubts about whether the topic is encyclopedic, but I could be wrong; there may be an encyclopedic article that can be written about the subject. I am wary to allow it to be deleted through the PROD process and without a discussion at AfD because at the very least I feel the series of books is notable, even if the character isn't.

I have heard of Les Norton the fictional character and I have never read any of the books, although I can't recall where (perhaps an in-flight magazine?). This leads me to believe that the character may have become of interest to a wider group of people other than just fans of the books and that there may be third-party independent sources that establish notability. As I said, I have my doubts, but AfD has surprised me before. At the moment, I don't know enough to say which way I would !vote at AfD should it end up there; this would probably depend on arguments made by others.

While the article as it is exists is not encyclopedic in tone or up to the standard that we would like to see, these things should be fixed through editing rather than deletion. Even if the topic is deemed to be non-notable, some of the content could be merged to the Robert G. Barrett article or at the very least the title to be redirected there.

I have no objections to you listing it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. I just feel the topic deserves discussion before deletion. I hope my position now makes some sense. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk

Your contributed article, Husk (fantasy trilogy)

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Husk (fantasy trilogy). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Russell Kirkpatrick. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Russell Kirkpatrick - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Shashwat986 (talk) 06:41, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: St. James station photo

Hi Peter,

Yes they are 'borrowing' my photo. I'm not too fussed though, it's only an old photo.

As for maps of St. James station tunnels, my best bet would be to go to the State/Mitchell Library on Macquarie St. The tunnels are now closed, so it's 'enter at your own risk'.

Hope this helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hohohob (talk • contribs) 09:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Madouc cover.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Madouc cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 14:12, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Science lovers wanted!

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 20:15, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
