Citrus canker

I think that your citrus canker article is quite well done and I thank you for it. I myself have lost several trees to the disease and I didn't even realize that we didn't have an article on this subject. This link is Broken 2 July 2005 20:55 (UTC)

Image... Not PD?

Hello. A few minutes ago I added Fall Creek Falls.png [1], believing it to be Public Domain, as I have seen several times on Wikipedia that US Government images are Public Domain. As the image came from the Tennessee State Parks Department, I just assumed it was. I am not complaining, I applaud your diligence if I am in error. Could you please point out where I have made the mistake? Thank you very much. Dan the Man Khan July 3, 2005 01:30 (UTC)

Moving a Category title

Hi! I think Category:Adelaide Parks and Gardens needs to move to Category:Adelaide parks and gardens to align with the case of similar cats: Category:Brisbane parks and gardens and Category:Melbourne parks and gardens. There doesn't appear a way a mere mortal editor can do this without losing the Category history. Can your admin powers assist?--Takver 5 July 2005 01:24 (UTC)

Birmingham Gun Quarter

Hi Peta, sorry to bother you again but the Gun Quarter, Birmingham edit history still does not reflect my initial addition which basically took me about one and a half days of my life to research and write over a period of several weeks after my day job, I really do not understand why ALL of the edit history was removed, I can understand the copy violation work being removed but every single edit since this (initial edit by me): 18:26, 5 Jun 2005 . . 195.92.67.65 (restoring to last version after the copyright violation was removed, a lot of work went into that thank you.) is non copywrite and should still be able to be viewed, otherwise my effort (and many others hard work) has been a complete waste of time, anyone could have written the main of the article and other members are now questioning what I have written (i.e. the person that asked you to sort it out in the first place?), please can you restore the edit history, I am really unhappy that it is all gone? Why did you delete everything? Thanks NickBoulevard.

I have just stumbled across your inclusion of the first page after the copyright vio, thanks for that but but I did not receive a response to indicate you had done this, please do not make out that it is by my pestering that you have been forced to do this, why did you delete page history on the Jewellery Quarter that was clearly non copyright violation in the first place, I am bemused as the current article does not contain any copyright material at all? You have lost much of my original work on this article by removing the edit history the version you have reverted to is not the one that I took the time to re-write? please can you re-add all the pages that you deleted after this edit, please? if it was down to a particular user that you did this then state this? how would you like it if I deleted page history of articles that you had taken several hours to write? Please respond, thanks Nick Boulevard 23:47, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Sorry I meant Gun Quarter not Jewellery Quarter, the old gun quarter article was listed as copyright violation, so I took the trouble to write a totally new (in my own words) article which bore no resemblance whatsoever to any article on or off the internet, I then followed the procedure set out in Wikipedia and I added it to the temp page, someone else had already added a brief intro that was questioned by Brumburger or Andy Mabbett who then deleted the whole page including my work saying it was copyright vio again, Ray Girvan cleared this intro as being ok and so the page remained, what we see there today is the by-product of my hard work, not only the research and citing of sources but the initial framework of the article, you were contacted by Brumburger in some way and asked to delete the page history that was copyright but as I understand you decided to remove all of the page history which is totally unfair, it was clear by reading the temp page talk that the new article was not copyright vio in any way, now please either explain why you removed my work unfairly or I would rather that you simply restore the following edit history to indicate that I am the original author of the clean article, Brumburger is now conveniently disputing this.

I realise that you cannot restore everything but please, all I ask is that you restore these pages to start from the beginning of the edit history and I will be really grateful Peta, I believe that you may have been embroiled in a dispute here without knowing it?.

Moving Red Deer

I've noticed that you've moved the Red deer article to Red Deer, which has created over 40 double redirects, which you have not fixed. My understanding is that there is no clear Wiki consensus on capitalisation of animal names, especially in ambiguous cases, such as with the Red deer, thus the article's previous name was probably acceptable. I currently don't have the time to fix all the double-redirects, but I would suggest that it may be simpler to move the article back to its original location, given the capitalisation ambiguity. The Red Deer article should probably remain a redirect, although the inflow of new articles that link to Red Deer, Alberta as Red Deer is quite sizeable (I often check "what links here" for the Red Deer to fix new indirect links, so I'm speaking from experience). I leave the final decision up to you, given that you're a sysop and all. --Aramգուտանգ 7 July 2005 06:28 (UTC)

Scorpaenoidei

Hey, I have just noticed that you erroneously merged the scorpionfish article with the stonefishes article. The two are different fish families (Scorpaenidae and Synanceiidae respectively), and should have separate articles. I think you may have been confused by the fact that they're both members of the Scorpaenoidei suborder (see the Scorpaeniformes article for clarification). I reverted your changes, so you don't have to worry about it. However, I would also like to point out that when you made the scorpionfish article redirect to stonefishes, you created over a dozen double-redirects. If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time I've brought double-redirects caused by your changes to your attention, so please exercise more caution in the matter in the future. Thanks. --Aramգուտանգ 11:53, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

New Zealand To Do (and Tas Devils)

Hey nixie. I've transferred the to do list you added to the NZ talk-page to a template, and in the process, removed your signature. I hope you don't mind (if you do, just holler and I'll return it). Oh, and sorry for not getting back to you on Tasmanian Devil. I'll try to have a go at some more in depth copy-editing, and perhaps even some expansion. I must admit, biology is not an area in which I can profess much knowledge. Just on that article though, the statistic which states that half the Devil population has been lost to the tumors should probably have a reference. All in all, it seems pretty complete and not really needing much further effort. Great work, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 14:18, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

I didn't notice it was referenced further down, so what I said is largely irrelevant. I'm misreading a lot tonight.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 14:27, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Fauna of Australia

This is a great overview of Australian fauna. The size and content mostly seems about right to me. I think it's good having it all on one page but I wonder if something like the mammals section should be condensed a bit and expanded in its own page.

I'd like to request you to remove the images from the pages that use them prior to deleting them in future.

Soil

Thanks for catching on so quick that soil science is not a sub-science of agriculture. This is a common and absolutely understandable mis-conception, as common as considering soil science a sub-discipline of geology. The establishment of the International Union of Soil Sciences in 1924 confirmed soil science as an independent science, separate from the biological sciences and geological sciences. Interesting is that agriculture does not have an independent international union to represent it. Agriculture appears to be, at best, a sub-discipline of the biological sciences.

I have no issue with other categories being added, but for some reason you and Maureen seem to have unilaterally decided to delete the agriculture category. Since such a huge change is being made with no discussion, I regard that as borderline vandalism. The agriculture category is a broad category that should encompass the entire scope of agriculture. When one looks for information on agriculture, he should not be forced to go through a complicated file tree to find what he wants. Wikipedia should be user friendly.

Page protection

Please protect Western United States and it's redirect American West. A problem user lost his POV duplicate article, childishly put it up for Vfd when talk page consensus went against him and lost, and now his (accidentally admitted) sockpuppet is making threats of POVing the merged article (Western United States). I'd protect it but I seem to be the anti-christ in his eyes, so that wouldn't be appropriate. -JCarriker 11:56, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

I hate to file a personal RFC, but I don't think he's going to go away— he's determined to make the article reflect his opinion alone. I probably should ask the other users involved what they want to do. Do you have any suggestions, BTW way if I know CPret <shudders>, probably be enragged by your protection. -JCarriker 12:15, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

• I've tried an article RFC for American West no one showed up, I guess filing an RFC for Western US wouldn't hurt anything, but I'm skeptical it would solve the problem. User:DialUp agrees with CPret/DHarjo, but DialUp has not made threats, childish Vfd nominations, or pretended to leave only to recede into an existing sockpuppet account. It's DialUp's bad attitude and behavior that are causing the problems not his opinions. Again, thanks. -JCarriker 12:31, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Peta Holmes, I saw you did quite a lot of work in various agronomy-related articles. Do you like the iodea of an agronomy-portal? Do you know other agronomist Wikipedians which would like this idea too? Regards, Germen --Germen (Talk | Contribs File:Nl small.gif) 23:25, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

    • I think there are not enough active Agronomy users, so mobilizing them is vital. I have started a tentative Agronomy portal Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Agronomy, which is not listed as such as yet. You may want to look at it. Organising the categories in Agronomy will be a daunting task. --Germen (Talk | Contribs File:Nl small.gif) 11:08, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Cochineal

I am not sure if the all changes introduced by User:Taxman on Cochineal page are real improvements, at least a) and b). I am not a native English speaker, that's correct, but in the case of a) constructions like "the method consists in putting baskets called Zapotec nests on cacti, which is a method known to be used in the past centuries" do not look sane for me. Also edit b) in my opinion is not perfect either, because I don't think that mixing life stage description and distribution of the specie in the same paragraph is a step towards better prose. I would discuss this on Article talk page, but now I am confused a bit and I need an opinion of native English speaker. DariusMazeika 23:34, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Regions of the U.S.

I have recently noticed that all of the maps on all of the articles concerning regions of the United States are being reverted. The maps being reverted are the standard maps that were originally agreed upon. They are now being systematically removed and replaced by maps that are not as accurate and green boxes that are not only non-standard but also unnesessary on most of the articles. I have done the best I can to undo these reverts, but it only ends up in the creation of new edit wars. (See the history page of almost any U.S. region article and you'll see the problem.) If nothing can be solved, then I suggest that the following be done to all articles related to U.S. regions:

• All maps be removed until disputes are settled
• All pages related to U.S. regions be protected from editing until disputes are settled

Darth Vader

Why did you revert the page to the incorrect version (i.e. "Anakin" isntead of "Darth Vader" in the dialogue at the end of Epidode III)? It was the last version before you protected the page. Copperchair 10:11, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

See [2] to see I'm right about the naming issue (starting with the paragragh beginning with "With the death of Mace Windu...") It was VADER who fought Obi-Wan at the end of Episode III, not Anakin. Also check out the last paragragh of [3] to see that the caption beneath the unmasked "Vader" should say "Sebastian Shaw as the dying ANAKIN."

I'm still waiting for an answer... Copperchair 10:47, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Your silence is just an accomplice of your mistake to protect the wrong version of the page. I have provided proofs from the official Star Wars site, what has Welch provided to back his arguments? Copperchair 00:55, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

A protection is imposed to stop an edit war. It does not mean that the version protected is being accepted as correct, merely that that was the point when an edit war was stopped.

FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 01:03, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Only in this case the page was reverted by the person who blocked the page, he/she didn't just stop the edit war, he/she took a position on the conflict by picking a previous version of the page over the last version of the page. Copperchair 01:52, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi Peta,

you had reviewed the coriolis effect article. I now have a response from by William M Connolley on the Talk:Coriolis effect page. William M Connolley doubts the destription that is given.

Fauna of Australia

Hi. I made some comments to the peer review page - hope they were useful, if not, feel free to ignore anything to nitpicky. So when do you plan to put it up as an FAC? Let me know - I'd almost certainly support it. Guettarda 16:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. And sorry about the fish question - I remember having that conversation with an Aussie fish systematics guy, and I remember asking him about the question of the origin of the fish fauna. Unfortunately, I don't remember his answer, but the paucity of the fish fauna got me wondering about that question again. It isn't essential, IMO, for a good article, but it is interesting if you can find it without too much effort. Thanks. Guettarda 01:01, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Split edits

Hi Nixie. I've just copy-and-paste moved some edits from yesterday to a new article, and wondered if administrators can move the edit history of the edits that relate to that article across. The summary of what I did is at Talk:Bhojpur. Basically, an anonymous editor yesterday replaced a stub about a place in Nepal with a stub about a place in India. I copied the India version to a new article, reverted to the Nepal version and moved it, then edited the remaining redirect into a disambig page. This seemed the least-disruptive way of doing things, but if admins are able to reassign edits there are two edits shown against Bhojpur, Nepal that belong to Bhojpur, India, then my own revert and create should be null edits. --ScottDavis 11:33, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I didn't think it mattered much - I've notified the main (anon) editor of the Indian article of what I did on his/her talk page, assuming they ever see the same IP number again. The other edit was just a disambig fix. I couldn't tell from just reading the Admin's howto whether the tools for fixing copy-and-paste moves could be used for this sort of thing. I agree it's not that important. Thanks again. --ScottDavis 13:31, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Your "sort-of" description sounds complex, but if you think it would make it easier to attribute edits properly I'll try to remember to do it that way if I ever see the situation again (which I probably won't - it's pretty unusual). Thanks, ScottDavis 13:42, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for your vote of support on my recent RfA. I was quite surprised by the amount of support I received, and wish to extend my thanks to you for taking the time to support my nomination for adminship. -- Longhair | Talk 12:12, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Adminship, etc.

I'd actually been thinking about that for a while. I'm not sure I'm really all that interested, at least not now. I probably wouldn't use most of the tools all that often (I don't do much RC patrol, I don't pay much attention to page moves, etc.) and I'm still not entirely up to speed on the way Wikipedia works (for example, I recently ran a page move vote on libertarianism quite badly because I was unaware of policy on the subject). Also, I'm not sure admin status would be an asset in the never-ending POV squabbles on controversial articles--for now, I'd rather just be a mortal user when dealing with others. I do appreciate the offer quite a bit, though, especially coming from a great editor like yourself.

I'm sure the fauna article will be great, like your other articles. I'll take a look at it tonight. My experiment is all set up and should run itself until thursday or friday, so I'll have lots of free time.

Thanks again for the offer, Dave (talk) 01:17, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

I guess there are always barnstars. Somehow it doesn't seem the same, though. Dave (talk) 15:40, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Some of your concerns are dealt with. Take a new look of it and make further comments if any. :-) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 04:39, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

How lovely! :-D Thank you very much. Btw, I've created some new images for the article. Do you think we need some more illustrations? -- Jerry Crimson Mann

I've put them all into the article. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 05:04, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh... sorry

I never intended to use it as a platform - honest! I'll revert back and RTFM more carefully in future. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:41, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Oops. Already done. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:41, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Phishing Peer Review

Hey, I was woundering if it would be possible for you to help out in the peer review for the Phishing article. Wikipedia:Peer_review/Phishing. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 12:56, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• A lot of improvements have been made to the article. May you take another look at it. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 13:47, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Blaise Pascal

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but you looked at Blaise Pascal when it was on peer review, and I was wondering if you could take a second look at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Blaise Pascal. I don't like to push it but it seems to have missed its chance at the top of the page to get a lot of interest, and only has two opinions after five days. If you have the time and could add any thoughts you have, that would be great. Christopher Parham (talk) 17:30, 2005 August 3 (UTC)

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Maurine Brown Neuberger, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Women's project

Had a look at your sandboxes; your project looks as though it will be a valuable contribution, and not before time. Do let me know if I can be of asistance, from my (necessarily limited) perspective as a male.

Warner Bros. Movie World

Why was Warner Bros. Movie World deleted (on july 29)? It might have been a copyvio, but it is a well known and notable set of theme parks. And there are heaps of redirects to it which are now broken. At the very least the non-copyvio information could have been kept? secfan 03:34, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Australia & Canada at the Olympics

Why'd you rv my additions on the performance of Australia at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Are you some kind of self-hating Aussie or what? The addition is a simple fact, it's not made up or anything. I don't see what's wrong with having it in the article. After all, from what I understand, wikipedia is suppose to be an encyclopedia. Unless you can come up with a satisfactory reason it shouldn't be in the Australia article, then I'm going to put it back in soon. -- Radicalsubversiv2 03:39, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
