Image uploads to en.wiki

It would be nice to upload to commons, as I think that many of the images I am planning to upload will have use on a number of wikis, but I'll be uploading here. Please don't suggest otherwise, as to upload to commons I would have to sign out of en.wiki, sign in to commons with a different user name, even though my user name isn't being used, then sign out of commons, and finally sign back in to en-wiki in order to add the image to an article. No. --Kleopatra (talk) 18:06, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

If you use firefox or a similar browser with tabbed browsing you should be able to be logged in both common and en.wiki at the same time. You can always make your images with the "movetocommons" tag and they will get moved there by someone else if you feel it is too much work.--Kevmin § 18:19, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Digital holographic microscopy article

I noticed that you removed the external links to the available technology providers. I believe it is of general interest for the reader to know from which vendors the technology is available. You objected to list all available vendors under External Links. Do you have any suggestions of how make this information available for the reader in a different way?

Digital holographic microscopy article

Are articles like calculator and typewriter considered to be OK and relevant, regarding references to technology providers? Or should any trademark reference be considered to be advertisement? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Egelberg (talk • contribs) 10:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Digital holographic microscopy article

I'm looking for guide lines. Are you saying that other articles cannot serve as a guide line and that common sense is the only guide line available, when it comes to these matters?

According to my common sense, technology providers are valid information in technology articles. Technology is useless without a provider. I tried to keep a very low and neutral profile in just listing all available providers and not to include the providers in the main text as has been done in other popular technology articles, like micro processor, mobile phone and computer. The advertising value of being included in the main text is much higher than just being mentioned in a footnote.

Speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Limu kohu

A tag has been placed on Talk:Limu kohu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Missing taxoboxes

Thanks for your message. I try to do that for every plant or animal article I come across, glad you fixed them! Ruigeroeland (talk) 13:37, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Re:Endemism versus native flora.

Hi, thanks for fixing that! I didn't actually list the plants there, though, I only found those links because they were on that page. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 19:35, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing! Glad we can help each other out! :) Wilhelmina Will (talk) 09:36, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Bot tasks

The best place to ask, if it really needs a bot, is WP:BOTREQ. Many botmeisters will be capable of helping. Alternatively if the number of articles is low (say a few hundred) and the complexity high, there is a place for requesting AWB runs. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks (Hm, now I visited there and picked up a bot task, so much for a Wikibreak.) Rich Farmbrough, 11:42, 21 October 2010 (UTC).

Question

The one edit I made to the Collenia article should have in no way been taken as a claim of ownership, just a readding of information pertinent to the page. The reference request was a questioning of the removal of "genus" from the article prose and that is all. --Kevmin § 06:40, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't have time to both edit the articles and argue over a single detail, although I am always willing to start with a discussion on the talk page or at wikiproject algae. I'm interested in stromatolites, and that article has been a one sentence stub for 3 years, it seemed as if it needed expansion, and it's a topic that greatly interests me. You could have raised the issue on the talk page, but you chose reversion, and keeping a reference to assert something it doesn't say. That's fine. There are plenty of other articles that I can edit. --Kleopatra (talk) 06:46, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, but at no point did you try to initiate any discussion regarding my edit, so I had no way of knowing what the problem was. Part of wikipedia is working with people that have opinions that may differ with your, or who have references that state are different things from the ones you have. Cooperation is the key to resolving these. I will add a reference for the placement of Collenia as a genus.--Kevmin § 07:09, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

It's not about opinions. It's just a source of information, and this is too much time expended on this. I added information and a reference, you reverted it because you don't have access to that reference. Cooperation could call for your posting first on the talk page instead of demanding that I do and reverting until then. I was simply interested in expanding the article, nothing more. Let's move on. --Kleopatra (talk) 07:13, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Happy Halloween!

Wilhelmina Will has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the proceeding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween! If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message!

Cheers! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 04:42, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Commons user name change request

I am requesting a rename on Commons. My current Commons name is WorkSoulsNothing, yes, I used the captcha. WorkSoulsNothing (talk) 06:56, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

I am requesting a rename on Commons. My current Commons name is WorkSoulsNothing.

And, idiotically, whatever name you use on commons then logs you in on en.wikipedia as that name, so having different names on both makes it impossible to edit. Kleopatra (talk) 06:58, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Stubs

Sure - always happy to support anything that will make people's lives easier around here. I have AWB, and can help save you some manual restubbing; beyond that, though, I'm worse than useless, as I know nothing about biology whatsoever, I'm afraid. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 15:40, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, stub sorting is a quiet area of the project; there aren't many of us who look at it on a regular basis. Lord knows I'm usually doing so many other things that I don't always have time to resort and recategorize. I figure I can help move things along a bit whenever possible. Speaking of which...I've got a couple of proposals I need to make shortly myself... --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
