Everglades v. National Park edit
[1] Do you think people are really confused enough to need this? --Moni3 (talk) 02:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I would not assume the average reader knows that there is an Everglades outside of Everglades National Park. I would assume the average reader hasn't given it much thought. Perhaps instead of a hatnote, a mention of the park could be worked into the first paragraph? Perhaps something like, "The Everglades are subtropical wetlands located in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Florida, comprising the southern half of a large watershed, and home to Everglades National Park."--Brambleshire (talk) 06:35, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello, in Seattle, from southwest Arizona (Yuma, AZ, on the Colorado River)... I thought I would say hello, since you are new to Wikipedia... I generally do NOT make an effort to TALK to anybody, per se,... except when I have to deal with the "idiota" of wikipedia...(Look at my Talk page, you'll, see some of the FUNNN)-- there are many, ALAS... I created the category: Category:Bird terminology, specifically for someone like UrSelf to come-along and transform a simple article like "Gleaning (birds)", into a Real Article.
my comments are this, and are Basically, just ramblings: Here in the City, of Yuma, I live in a neighborhood of Hummingbirds, and thus have planted one plant each (basically) of------Fairyduster-Calliandra, Calliandra californica, (I'm having to search for the Genus-species, etc)--Justicia-(Chuparosa-Spanish for hummingbird), the Chuparosa, a bush here in the desert, is......especially liked (probably for sweeetness, or taste--(also a SPECIFIC color of red-perfect depth of flower,too?)) by the hummingbirds, It is: Justicia californica- (a ReDirect from Chuparosa),
At any rate I want to describe how the hummingbird, hunts also for (gleans) its spiders; It goes along the eave of a building, or it goes into a branch end,..... and picks out the spider. (as opposed to gathering the SILK, for a nest?). What is nice is that the local Verdin, a small bird-(a SW North America endemic), that builds a Sphere-(warmth & protection, a YEAR-round resident-(COOL in summer?-WARM in winter?), nest, with an entrance in the lower quadrant, for water-non-entry, gleans constantly in similar bushes, but especially in a hibiscus, (where the hummingbirds use IT, at a different time, especially for the flowers, but at other times for the spiders, or webs). The Verdin is in the hibiscus constantly (and will eat flowers off another type: the Bell-Flower, whatever that species is), but in the Hibiscus, the Verdin hunts, or gleans constantly, (AND, it is MOSTLY announcing its presence with its clicks; the same CLICKs are used by the hummingbirds (Lucifer Hummingbirds are here), but the Loudness, and Continualness of the Verdin's can be greater.
So, YellowBells-(never STOPS producing a flower cluster, and eventually is PROFUSE, but usually just continuous), is that other flower (bush) that the Verdin will chew off the flower base for the Sugar. So, I thought I would tell our local story here. (The big RAINS, you were getting, went to LOS Angeles, then slightly came through SW Ariz. for 2 days... Enjoy the new round of rains, & wind coming through you today, and tomorrow... (ON xmas eve day, late Dec. 2010, from now Brite & Sunny, SW Arizona, on the Colorado River)-HOT-SonoranDesert-AZ,,,,,, --Mmcannis (talk) 17:47, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hello, Mmcannis! Thanks for your note. Season's greetings and good birding, --Brambleshire (talk) 15:00, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
Pest insects edit
Hi Brambleshire, Re: Category:Pest insects; I moved those articles you pointed out into agriculture pests and ornamental plant pests subcategories. Thanks for clarifying the diffusing category purpose.—Look2See1 t a l k → 16:15, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Citation moving edit
There are several places to put the citation text for an article, as long as the citation number appears in the text just after the text to which it refers. There are several reasons to put the ref tags in the Reflist rather than in the text, including the fact that the text is much easier to read with just the short ref/ tag, and the fact that the refs are all in one place and easier to review. Although there is also nothing wrong with the refs being in the article body itself, the Manual of Style doesn't specify this as the only method (it only specifies where the number should appear). I generally put refs in the Reflist because it's easier, but I don't move them if someone else puts them in the body because this is simply a waste of time better used to actually improve the article. The Umgeni River Bird Park article still looks identical to readers now after you did all that work. It's just harder to edit (IMHO) because of long refs being in the middle of text. (and no, I'm not going to waste time putting it back the way it was) Don Lammers (talk) 01:29, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for taking the time to explain this alternate method of placing cites. I don't agree the article looks identical to readers now as before. Before, the Notes section had a superfluous and unexplained list of bracketed numbers, obviously cites but not citing any notes. I think it is untidy and unhelpful to display extra stuff that doesn't mean anything to readers.--Brambleshire (talk) 00:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, you are correct, and I seem to be the one to blame for the original error as well. It looks like I accidentally deleted the closing braces and turned the citation list into the series of square brackets you mention. Someone else came along and tried to fix this, resulting in essentially two lists. I have reverted the article, and then fixed the reflist without moving the citations into text, fixing the issues that you mention. I have left it at one column, as I don't think 9 items quite warrants two columns. I also removed the reference to WAZA, since the facility is no longer listed as a member on the WAZA site. Don Lammers (talk) 03:52, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, it looks good now, thank you. And thank you also for creating this article. I came across it while browsing articles about South Africa and would never have known about it otherwise.--Brambleshire (talk) 18:07, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification edit
Hi. When you recently edited Bird colony, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Corvus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Finishing touches to Transitional fossil edit
Hello Brambleshire, I am the GA reviewer for Transitional fossil. The review has been stuck for some weeks now, with the only outstanding actions being to supply a few missing citations. I notice you've done some work on the article. Would you be up to sorting out the gaps, or do you know other editors who could do the work? with best wishes Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:30, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your note. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I haven't been online much this last week. Looks like the work has been completed. Well done!--Brambleshire (talk) 03:46, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, we got there in the end. All good. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:35, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
