Hi MiltonT. Thanks for adding the notes on the the species of fish with aerial locomotion to the flying and gliding animals page. Very interesting stuff. Nicolharper 22:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electrolocation/Electroreception

Hi. I think you should have merged (or proposed to merge) these articles instead of just redirecting. There was information in electrolocation that was not in electroreception, although they do discuss the same general subject. Natalie 17:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Danionin

Quite like what you've done in activating Danio and Devario pages. (if you look at the history on danionin you will probably see I follow that page VERY closely). Are you planning to do pages for the other danionin genera? I have done a few minor changes, adding in hyperlinks for Danio and Devario and changing the link in chela to chela (fish) as chela goes to a disambiguation page. Have also removed category cypriniformes as it is a supercat (ie has subcategories cyprinidae and danio), the point is that if you put every cypriniform fish in the cypriniformes category that category would end up with thousands of species and be impossible to use effectively. Would also request that you state what you have done in the edit summary when making changes.

Regards

[edit] Counter-current exchange

Hi, you merged this article to Countercurrent exchange, but the correct name is Counter-current exchange with the hyphenated word, because it is two words not one. I will attempt a page move (but do not expect it to succeed because of the previous history) or will list it at WP:RM in the near future. If you have any objections, can you voice them on my talk page. Viridae^Talk 09:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Size of wels catfish

Hallo !I´ve seen you have written that wels catfish grow to 4m and in the Volga and Danubia, but I can confirm you that this are all big fish stories without any prooves, although it can be read in several book(and you can also read many other false dates, for example that great white sharks reach a size of 12m...). I have taken really much research in the last years about the maximum size of wels catfish and other large fish, many comparisons and calculations with known record specimens and known growth rates. The result was that it is nearly impossible for a wels catfish to grow to a size of 4m, and there are in fact really no prooves that such big specimens ever existed. Please don´t re-alter it again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.224.108.1 (talk) 17:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

Hello, in reply to this, I merely moved information from one article to the other. I didn't actually write that information. MiltonT 18:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Aquarium Fishes

Hi. I saw your edits to several fish articles. Just want to let you know that the WikiProject Aquarium Fishes has been set up recently. We have a couple of participants already including User:Kerripaul who is also a Danionin guy like you. I just thought you might want to have a look at the project page and see if it interests you. Cheers !! --Melanochromis 05:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ludisia

Just a quick thanks for adding a Taxobox to Ludisia discolor. Regards, Fvasconcellos 13:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Aquarium Fishes Newsletter: March 2007

Thanks for adding taxoboxes to those articles! Here's the latest issue of WikiProject Aquarium Fishes newsletter. Just in case you want to know what's going on.

[edit] Anabantoidei - thanks

Just want to thank you for cleaning up references in Anabantoidei. --Melanochromis 20:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Aquarium Fishes

Hi Milton. You have been contributing so much to fish articles. Just wonder if you want to formally join the WikiProject Aquarium Fishes and make yourself known to other editors? I usually announce new project members in each newsletter. Your name could be in the April newsletter which should come out in a couple of days. Cheers, --Melanochromis 16:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pseudoplatystoma

Hi Milton. Thanks for helping me updating the newsletter. To change an article's title, I think using the "move" function (on top of the page) is a good way to do as it also transfers the history and talk page to the new title. Otherwise, they all got lost and it became a brand new article rather than a renamed/revised one. --Melanochromis 07:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aquarium

Hi, I've just been doing some work on Aquarium and I have to say the article is a mess. I think it's overly long and should probably be split up. Firstly, much of the lead section refers to Public Aquariums the establishments that contain many aquariums. So I think we should move most material related to Public Aquariums to that article. Secondly, some sections of the article deal with topics related to keeping fish and should be dealt with at Fishkeeping (eg: Aquarium#Species_selection and much of the sections Aquarium#Environmental_impact and Aquarium#Ecology). Thoughts? Cheers, David. MidgleyDJ 08:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
