Just dropping a hello. Sorry if my edits on [[Jurassic Park}} were rather harshly-worded (in retrospect). I have restored the first paragraph (what was I thinking?). The meaning of the second paragraph is clear to me from your notes, but I think it needs to be made clear that genetic engineering (or artificial selection) on this scale is presently unfeasible. I like your user page, and I also have a focus upon correcting bad science or bias in wikipedia. I'll get back to this issue as soon as possible.--[[User:ChrisJMoor|ChrisJMoor]] 02:37, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

=="Walking with Dinosaurs" screenshots!==
How excllent! I hope you'll make a long series of "Dinosaurs" and "Mammals" screenshots: Wikipedia needs these illustrations! --[[User:Wetman|Wetman]] 05:50, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I'd really like to describe every episode of the series, as my brother has them on VHS. I downloaded the screenshot and didn't shoot it myself. I don't know if it was ever released on DVD. (and I hope it's not a copyright infringement) &mdash; [[User:Phlebas|Phlebas]] 16:28, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Titanosaur ==

Hi there. It's good to see someone new working on dinosaurs (and yes, I even saw you join the dead-on-arrival WikiProject :). But could you move Titanosauridae back to titanosaur? The article actually discusses Titanosauria in general, including the family, and how the largest grouping of sauropods is still vague, given the dubious anchor taxa and all the missing skulls. I followed the ToL guideline of defaulting to the lowest covered taxa in the taxobox, which may have been incorrect -- I have no problem with changing the taxobox to Titanosauria (and probably should, since at least two of the listed genera are commonly classified as nemegosaurids). If you do a Google check the term "titanosaur" is more than five times more common than titanosaurid, titanosaurian, Titanosauridae, and Titanosauria, so the article title should use the common name (similar to the way the article is correctly at dinosaur, not dinosaurian or Dinosauria). I was careful about using titanosaurid when I referred to just the family in the article (the eggs), but that probably should be clarified. [[User:68.81.231.127|68.81.231.127]] 19:24, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:The formal vernacular for titanosaur is ''Titanosaurus''... but it's not actually used that way. Please switch it back. There is a clear standard, and it supports the common usage. Are you suggesting dinosaur should be moved to Dinosauria? [[User:68.81.231.127|68.81.231.127]] 19:16, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Storm ==

Hi there! I don't know if those titles have been published in English, but since this is the en. wikipedia I felt there should at least be a translation for the Dutch words. Maybe a note should be added to reflect that. Regarding Kleinspace, I think it does refer to 'Mr. Bottle' Klein, since if it were to be 'small space' the correct Dutch title would be "de kleine ruimte", not "de ruimte van klein". Also, it's congruent with earlier titles referring to physicians, e.g. [[Von Neumann]]. HTH!

==Cut and paste move==
Hello Phlebas. I noticed you have performed a cut and paste move ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rail_transport_in_mainland_China&diff=prev&oldid=15022997] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rail_transportation_in_China&oldid=15022923&diff=next]), but then as previous contributors have to be credited, cut and paste move is discouraged. I have put up [[Wikipedia:Cut_and_paste_move_repair_holding_pen#Rail_transport_in_China_and_Rail_transport_in_mainland_China|a request]] to fix move. :-)  &mdash; [[User:Instantnood|Insta]][[User_talk:Instantnood|ntnood]] 17:25, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
:Issues around the use of the phrase "mainland China" has been discussed around for several months (as you might have already recognised from the naming conventions talk page), I don't want it to be further complicated. :-D  &mdash; [[User:Instantnood|Insta]][[User_talk:Instantnood|ntnood]] 17:33, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

I agree it would be best to split the article. Would you kindly comment on [[Talk:Indian Railways]] as to what sections should be taken off the IR?

== KMMA ==

Ik zie dat jij het artikel omtrent het KMMA op de wiki en hebt ingevuld, kan je anders even naar de nederlandse versie kijken, op [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Midden-Afrika nl wiki] ?

Waarom slijt je je dagen trouwens op de engelstalige versie? We kunnen je gebruiken bij de nederlandse versie ;)

:Ik heb een nl account ([http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Adson Adson]) maar dat zal ik zeer zelden gebruiken, tenzij voor nu en dan een discussietje. Ik vind de nlwiki en alle anderstalige wikis tijdsverpilling (''all other wikis are a waste of time'') en veel te gezellig. ''enwiki is a lot more exciting and it sharpens my english (sharpens-that's probably incorrect)''. Maar ik zal is effe kijken naar de KMMA op nlwiki. Ik zou er doodgraag willen werken...

== eerste nl.wikimedia.org ontmoeting ==
ik zou iedereen graag willen uitnodigen te overwegen of zij een rol willen en/of kunnen spelen in de oprichting van een nederlandse wikimedia-organisatie. een eerste ontmoeting wordt momenteel georganiseerd, zie daarvoor [http://nl.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:Ontmoeten#eerste_nl.wikimedia.org_ontmoeting hier, op de nl.wikimedia.org wiki]. er zijn nog vele stappen te nemen, en meer wikianen nodig, om e.e.a. op verantwoorde wijze verder te ontwikkelen.

Hiya, I moved this article as you requested on [[WP:RM]]. Cheers, [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 02:08, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

==Cut-and-paste moves==

Hi, you used a cut-and-paste move to move [[Rail transportation in China]] to [[Rail transport in mainland China]]. Please don't do cut-and-paste moves, as it separates the article from its [[Wikipedia:Page history|history]], which we need to keep for [[Wikipedia:Copyright]] reasons. I see you are now aware that one should use [[WP:RM]] for help with moves if the "Move this page" link/tab doesn't work. I will fix this one - have you done any others?

== [[electric bicycle]] ==

Hello,
Names Pat.  As you may have realized by clicking on the [[electric bicycle]] link this page is in dispute.  It is currently redirected to [[motorized bicycle]].  As, an environmentalist, I would imagine you should be concerned about the proper identification of the green environmentally friendly method of transportion ("electric bicycle" that is) vs. all "motorized bicycles" (which more then often consist of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE)).  Essentially, I am trying to get the redirect removed so I can develop the "electric bicycle" article.  Your opinion on the subject would be greatly appreciate in the wikipedia redirect removal section.  You can find comments about this date for Nov. 5...  or simply search bicycle (alt+f with windows explorer).  Seing as you enjoy clean, grean environmentally friendly I figured you might vote in favor to remove the re-direct and give us the oppertunaty to start a nice article.  However, I also figured that you might be able to, or might know someone that can, contribute elements of contrast, some interesting health and environment facts.  I hope to talk to you soon.  Best wishes.  --[[User:CyclePat|CyclePat]] 04:41, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

== Invitation to the Forgotten Realms project ==

Hi,

We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.

The goal is to create a sort of [[The_World_Factbook|World Factbook]] for the Realms. This means:
* A consistent content
* Use of templates
* Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the [[Western Highlands]].

On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as [[Pelvuria]] or [[Imaskar]] and, of course, [[Netheril]]

* The project is located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Forgotten_Realms|here]]
* The [[Geographical index of Toril]] is a good start to get a visual of had been done, as well as the [[Halruaa]] entry.

Main contributors are presently
* [[User:David Latapie|David Latapie]]
* [[User:Poulsen|Poulsen]]

If you know some other person who would be interested, feel free to forward the invitation!

Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! [[User_talk:Vrykolaka|Reply]] to [[User:Vrykolaka|David Latapie]] 12:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

== updates for you ==

I ran across your user page while cleaning up links following a merger/re-write. 
*[[germ layer]]
**was germ layer, mesoder, ectoderm, and endoderm
I just wanted to let you know, because I'm wary of editing people's user pages. --[[User:TheLimbicOne|TheLimbicOne]]<small>([[user talk:TheLimbicOne|talk]])</small> 03:44, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

== Biology Portal ==

I see that you at one point helped to maintain the [[Portal:Biology|Biology portal]].  I was just wondering if you'd consider helping to maintain it again.  Thanks a lot.  --[[User:Cyde|<span style="background:#000000; font-family:Impact; color:#00A5FF;">Cyde Weys</span>]] 21:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

== My Attempt: ==

Since [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs]] is becoming a bit dormant of late, I've decided to get it reactivated. I've started putting the following templates all over the show, & I'd appreciate if someone would try putting them on too. Remember, they only go on Dinosaur orientated artcle's '''''TALK''''' pages. Not the articles themselves.

{{WikiProject Dinosaurs|category=no}}

So, finally, while I work on the project with a designer, in order to get more people, thus more pages, I would appreciate if you didn't move or shift (or stuff up for that matter) any of the work I'll be doing, like adding templates, protocols to the project page, etc etc. I'm hoping to get it up to the standard of The military history project. So, tell your friends to join up, or spam unknowing people & continue to do great articles. I no time, we'll have an awesome, professional project page! [[User:Spawn Man|Spawn Man]] 03:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

== New improvement ==

As per step three (on the dinosaur project talk page), I promised to ask a general consensus about any new improvements made. So, I'd like everyone to give comments on the new talk page banner:

{{WikiProject Dinosaurs|category=no}}

What does everyone think of it? It's meant to be placed on the talk page of dinosaur related articles, so everytime you edit an article, placing this there would make our job easier. So a few questions I'd like everyone to answer:

1)Does everyone like the picture?
2)Is the wording adequate?
3)Any other queries/problems?

I'll let you know when a new improvement arises... [[User:Spawn Man|Spawn Man]] 00:08, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== New improvement 2 ==

As per step three (on the dinosaur project talk page), I promised to ask a general consensus about any new improvements made. So, I'd like everyone to give comments on the new talk page banner:

{{WikiProject Dinosaurs user}}

What does everyone think of it? It's meant to be placed on the user talk page or user page of members of the Dinosaur wikiproject, so placing this there would make our job easier. So a few questions I'd like everyone to answer:

1)Does everyone like the picture?
2)Is the wording adequate?
3)Any other queries/problems?

I'll let you know when a new improvement arises... [[User:Spawn Man|Spawn Man]] 00:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC).

== New improvement 3 ==

As per step three, I'm informing you that... A new userbox has been created!! Please give comments and feedback (not including the picture, which may be due to change).

{{Template:WikiProject Dinosaurs userbox}}

I will inform on arrival of more improvements. [[User:Spawn Man|Spawn Man]] 19:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== New Task bar ==

I've successfully created an open list of tasks on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs]] main page for those who would actually like to know what to do with their time on the project. Add tasks as you wish, no too long though! Add your name to tasks you wish to be part of & that's as complicated as it gets... Thanks, [[User:Spawn Man|Spawn Man]] 23:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

==WikiProject Dinosaurs==

Hi Phlebas!

There's currently less than 100 dinosaurs left on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dinosaurs/missing|Missing dinosaur page]]. We've come a long way! I was thinking that since there's just under 100 dinosaurs left, and since there are 25 of us signed on for the project, if we each wrote about four articles, we'd be done! Well, not "done", obviously, as many of the articles are in need of expansion. But then we could focus on expansion and other things. 

You could take, say, [[Poposaurus]], [[Priconodon]], [[Priodontognathus]] and [[Procerosaurus]]. 

It's just an idea, of course, and you're of course not obligated and can do whatever you like; I just figured I'd mention the idea, and see if you were interested. No harm, right?

Take care,

== Prod [[Mono (Dutch band)]] ==

I've added the "{{tl|prod}}" template to the article [[Mono (Dutch band)]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] and [[Wikipedia:Importance]]). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at [[Talk:Mono (Dutch band)]]. If you remove the {{tl|dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- [[User:Koffieyahoo|Koffieyahoo]] 05:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

== Original publication of [[:File:Haeckel_drawings.jpg]] ==

Hello, I'm trying to track down the publication date of this image. While I see creation was 1866, I need to clarify the original publication date; as the information specifies it was copied in 1892 by Romanes. Was that when it was published? This will help nail down copyright. Thank you. - [[User:RoyBoy|Roy]][[User talk:RoyBoy|'''Boy''']] 23:03, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

|Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the [[Wikipedia talk:GLAM/SIA|Smithsonian Institution Archives]] until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Participants|here]] and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Outcomes/Todo|to-do list]]. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Requests|request page]], and of course, if you share your successes at the [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Outcomes|outcomes]] page you will receive the SIA barnstar!
