[edit] Wikipedia Fungus Collaboration as of Jan 2007
Hi, I noticed you showed some interest in fungi previously. DYK there are no fungal Featured Articles on wikipedia at all? I've modelled this on the dinosaur collaboration which has yielded a few FAs. Please have a look and cast your vote and we'll try a real concerted attempt at an FA. Link here......Fungi Collaboration
(hope I got all the templates right...) cheers Cas Liber 10:24, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Chromista collage.jpg
Great collage - but you can't take a "fair use" image and stick it in a collage and put in in the public domain. You may find something to replace the problematic panel on the commons. --Peta 23:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Fungus collage.jpg
Please take a look at commons:Image:Fungus collage.jpg, I think you should list images which you used to produce it. Are they all in the public domain? Conscious 17:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Changing Hierarchical nomenclature
Please do not change hierarchical nomenclature without (1) posting on the appropriate discussion page the reason for the change with (2) citation to the authority. Thanks. --Bejnar 21:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the above poster. The hierarchical nomenclature of Plasmodium has been changed. It is actually correct but it now lacks the correct kingdom: protozoa. As Werothegreat may or may not know this 'kingdom' is a mess and undergoing revisions but at the moment (2007) is the correct taxonomy. Since altering the taxobox means re saving the entire page Im not going to change it - unless I have to add or delete more species which is quite possible. User:DrMicro
Thanks for the note. The taxonomy of this area is a complete mess at the moment. I would still appreciate it if (1) the use of edits to the taxobox are limited (the page is large so please be nice to the Wikipedia servers) and (2) if you do an edit at the 'top end' of things like taxonomy it would be nice to have a note in the discussion saying whay this was done simply because the taxonomy here is such a mess.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Taxonomy.GIF
Thanks for uploading Image:Taxonomy.GIF. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Postelsia GA feedback
See the talk page, cheers Pete.Hurd 02:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Wero, I can't approve as a GA with the possibly unfree images, (I'm willing to call it a GA without the law links). Perhaps the source website might give permission if requested? (thanks for the nudge to archive my talk page, finally got around to doing that) Cheers, Pete.Hurd 19:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Protista or whatever they are called
We may disagree with adding your taxonomies to Wikipedia, but feel free to go ahead and propose them all you want. Try to get them according to peer-reviewed scientific papers, though. As you know from reading the articles on all these families of single-celled eukaryotes, Wikipedia is in desperate need of attention in this area. I appreciate all the work you do to try to make Wikipedia better when it comes to Protist taxonomies. I've tried to change things in this area, too, for the photosynthetic ones, to no avail.

[edit] Amoeba proteus / Chaos diffluens
Amoeba proteus and Chaos diffluens are synonymous. C. diffluens is the old name not really used since the 60's see: http://www.nies.go.jp/chiiki1/protoz/morpho/flagella/amoeba.htm#Amoeba%20proteus —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jvbishop (talk • contribs) 20:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
- While Ameoba and Chaos are different genera the particular species Chaos diffluens has been reclassified as Amoeba proteus. There are still several other species in the Chaos genera (C. carolinensis for example) Jvbishop 12:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
