[edit] Flora and Fauna

Hi, this is Lenticel. In my opinion, I think flora or fauna articles should be created scientific names as titles. English names and local names could then be redirected to that page. You could also add the common names and that flora/fauna's uses (as long as you have references and do not disrupt the flow of the article) in existing articles. A good place to start creating flora and fauna articles should be the list of Bohol flora and fauna. There are many red links (articles needed to be created) found there. You might also look at my user page for flora and fauna articles that I created. They are not exactly beautiful prose but it's a start. Oh, before I forget be sure to read this in case you are not familiar with taxoboxes. ---Lenticel 04:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello there! Thank you for the note. It was very instructive. Actually, "adding the common names and that flora/fauna's uses in existing articles" is precisely what I want to do, perhaps adding sections at the bottom of the page indicating the local name and the use or superstition attached to it. The reason I'm not doing this yet is that I dont have research materials yet.

I am glad to note you created a page for Sus philippensis! I was looking for information on it last year. I noticed, however, that the link to it from "Pig" is still red. I would have edited that page to see what was wrong, but the page is protected from editing. I want to learn how to get around to making the correction on an edited page soon, but I don't have time right now. Perhaps you might want to do it yourself? I couldn't find Sus philippensis because I was simply unaware of what a baboy ramo was called. I thus searched for it by looking for "Sus", which did not eventually lead me to Sus Philippinensis at the time.Alternativity 02:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Fixed the pig article link. Some articles just attract vandalism like flies so they semi-protect it. ---Lenticel 03:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nilad

Hi, I saw this on your user page so I created it. I already created the scientific part but I don't know if I could make its historical significance. Judging by your userpage, I think you are good with Philippine history so I request for your help. The other red-links in your page has little or no online references so I think I'll be of little help for you there.--Lenticel 02:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Just waiting for some aspects of life to settle down before I get back to work on entries. I'm not sure about the sources for Nilad, but I will certainly look into it. Thanks! Alternativity 12:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
