Category:Dinosaurs of Eastern North America

Hi Metalraptor,

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, a category like dinosaurs of Eastern North America is probably not helpful; we haven't been categorizing like that, and other, similar categories have been rejected by WikiProject Dinosaurs. Firsfron of Ronchester 20:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CFD for Category:Dinosaurs_of_Eastern_North_America

Hello, Metalraptor;

I've decided to put this category up for deletion, per my note above. You can find the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_August_19#Category:Dinosaurs_of_Eastern_North_America, so feel free to comment. Several editors on dinosaur articles, myself included, think that a discussion of the east-west split in the Cretaceous could be helpful in the Western Interior Seaway article, however, so you might consider having a look at that. Have a good day! J. Spencer 19:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Snaiad

Hey, I saw you have a made a page for Snaiad. As I'm familiar with the project, I'll try to help with ironing it out. I was just wondering, do you have an account on deviantart or the speculative evolution forum? I was just asking as that is where the majority of snaiad discussion happens.

Doh, I forgot to sign. Sliver Slave (talk) 03:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Silver Slave. Well, I go on the Speculative evolution forum a lot, I love speculative evolution. I've seen you guys talk about speculative evolution a lot. I even have several speculative evolution projects of my own. Its just...I never make an account for two reasons, one, I'm shy, and two, I can't think of a good username. So I hang out on the forum a lot, I just never log in or say anything. But I did make a page for Snaiad because I thought "hey, Darwin IV has a page, why shouldn't Snaiad! Metalraptor (talk) 14:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you could use metalraptor as a username. Anyway, I'll look over the article and try and clean it up. 24.77.21.240 (talk) 23:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snake

Hi Metalraptor, Would you happen to have any references regarding your recent edits to the Snake article? If so, please add them. If not, then eventually they will mostly likely be removed. (PS -- Please answer here, as I've temporarily added your talk page to my watchlist). --Jwinius (talk) 23:59, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry Jwinius, could you remind me which edits were mine again? I forgot which ones they were, seeing as the page was so long.Metalraptor (talk) 01:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These were your changes. --Jwinius (talk) 02:50, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I got the first one from a book called "Neptune's Ark", the second was from Peter Ward's book "Future Evolution", and the final thing about Toxicofera was in an interview with Brian G. Fry.Metalraptor (talk) 17:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, that would be:

Wallace DR. 2007. Neptune's Ark, from Ichthyosaurs to Orcas. University of California Press. 313 pp. ISBN 0520243226.
Ward P. 2001. Future Evolution. W. H. Freeman. 192 pp. ISBN 0716734966.

Right? You'll have to help me with the Brian G. Fry interview, though, or was that something you simply saw on TV? Cheers, --Jwinius (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the interview was in Reptiles magazine. I really like Brian Fry, he is an inspiration to all of us wanting to be biologists or natural historians.Metalraptor (talk) 02:01, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Speculative Biology

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Speculative Biology, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

WP:OR essay. 2900 Ghits. A few hundred Google books hits, but its in reference to the 19th century/early 20th century version of the term.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Red Hulk

Hi. I've started a consensus discussion on the edit conflict on Red Hulk here. Can you offer your opinion on the four points there? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 15:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for your opinion

Hi. Can you join this discussion in order to offer us your thoughts? We need as many people as we can get in this, since the 4-6 participants from previous discussions on this matter was felt by some to be insufficient. It would be most appreciated. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 07:16, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
