Hello,

Thank you for your contribution to my recently-created article about Diane Hébert. May she rest in peace.

Lacandonia

Thanks for the copyedit! I however do think that the redlinks to the authority should remain. My personal opinion is that like every species, every botanist who describes a species and receives an authority abbreviation is notable enough. I've come across some oddball ones in the past, thinking "there's no way this person has an article already" and there it was! Thoughts? Thanks again for giving it the once over -- it was a very quickly written article. --Rkitko ^(talk) 11:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Fourth of July, or bust, Thanks!

		The Fourth of July, or bust, Barnstar
		I award you this Barnstar for your solid, witty, creative, supportive, learned, timely, cheerful, eloquent, and/or otherwise generally great contributions on U. S. National Historic Landmarks' articles. Yippee o yay, we pretty much met our goal of a well-started article for each of 2,442 NHLs by today! Thanks, and have a great Fourth of July! -- Doncram, 4 July 2008

Thanks for pushing us, with your timely remark that many NHLs needed splitting out of merged articles with towns or other topics. We took it to task, and made a huge dent in that problem! Funny, i thot you were going to stick around and be more a part of the solution, but thanks anyhow! :) Cheers, doncram (talk) 16:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Got ur message back. Glad u were puzzled for a moment! Surely, a political border doesn't mean u can't join wp:NRHP properly, please do, of course. Ur contributions are appreciated. Also, by the way, I am interested in forming a Task Force on Canadian historic sites, as part of WikiProject Canada or as part of a new world-wide wikiproject on historic sites. I got my feet wet on Canadian historic sites with one or two covered in List of octagon houses, and chatted back and forth with one other active Canadian wikipedian. Isn't it time for some formalization of efforts, development of suitable Canada-specific infoboxes (which i believe i could help with), etc., n'est-ce pas? salut, doncram (talk) 18:51, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Waltzing in and out is fine, we each have to follow our interests. Your help in opening a Task force on Canadian historic sites at least initially would be most appreciated, and it is needed IMHO. I recently discussed this with Mindmatrix, at User talk:Mindmatrix#octagon buildings, and other historic sites, in Canada. Mind matrix suggested raising it at the notice board for Canada, and/or opening a world-wide wikiproject. What do you think? I am kinda interested in opening a world-wide wikiproject on historic sites, to include the U.S.-based wp:NRHP as a task force or otherwise associated project. Surely that would be better than opening Canada as a task force within the U.S.-based project, which i saw someone suggest once. :) I researched that there are about 1,000 Canadian officially listed places, people and events, which suggests a different structure than what the US NRHP project covers. And i know that Japan registers individual persons as "National treasures". But, world-wide, i expect that a project on "historic sites" would be the most meaningful, and could allow nation-specific task forces to cover events, people, too. Again, what do you think, and should i/we proceed with raising this on the Canadian notice-board or put forth a world-wide wikiproject proposal? cheers, doncram (talk) 19:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Pteridomania

Hey Circeus, thanks for doing some clean up work on Pteridomania. You and I have been accidentally collaborating for several years now and it's great to see you are still active here! (Curiously, we have an editor trying to get the whole thing deleted [1] but I'm laughing off the attempt.) Best wishes and keep up your excellent work. – House of Scandal (talk) 03:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

could you have a look...

At Magnetic resonance neurography? I was cleaning up the references and it turns out that clearly the contributor (Afiller (talk · contribs)) is one of the inventor of the technology. While I don't think there is much COI going on, I figure it'd be best if someone with a more medical background had a look. Circeus (talk) 17:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

There is some COI, but the writer has done a good job of keeping it neutral, yet I am still puzzled and have left a note on the talk page as we need to get an idea of the treatment in context, usage and criticisms. If this clinic is the only one which does it I start to worry about notability and why a treatment first researched in 1992 has not been more widely taken up.

Unblock of AdultSwim

You don't seem to be editing right now, but I'll try anyway. I detect a slight consensus to unblock AdultSwim at the ANI thread. It isn't unanimous, so I'd feel much more comfortable doing it with your OK. Do you mind if I try? --barneca (talk) 01:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd also be more uncomfortable with your input, but since you've gone offline, waiting for that input may cause an overlong delay. Gone ahead with an unblock, which I hope will be okay with you. AS an KK seem to have patched up their differences, at least, so I hope we don't have similar problems moving ahead. – Luna Santin (talk) 02:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Quote marks

I undid the Scapa Flow and Bridgewater parts of this edit because you probably didn't intend the effect it produced. A hook's link to its article is normally bolded according to the rules, not italicized and single quoted. (Some article links are both italicized and bolded, but that situation didn't occur here.)

The Impression That I Get

I restored the track listing. While I agree Singles are predominantly about one particular songs, they are also physical items with more than one track, and not listing those is clearly unencyclopedic. We have several singles FA (e.g. Just Like Heaven (song)), and all have track lists, often several. Circeus (talk) 21:24, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

• No problem. But perhaps you should add an explanatory sentence about this referring to the physical single and differentiating it from Let's Face It? – House of Scandal (talk) 13:30, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Vittorio Fiorucci

The best way to avoid articles being singled out for deletion is to make sure they are properly referenced with inline citations from the outset. Maybe put an {{inuse}} template at the top or else work on it in your user space first. Article creators are not allowed to remove speedy tags, but can place a {{hangon}} template, and explain on the talk page. This was not a CSD candidate anyway, as it asserts notability, so an admin would have removed the speedy tag. Proposing an AfD is not the way to go and wastes other people's time and energy. Ty 23:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Nope. The tag says in bold "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself." Admins aren't exempt. I thought you didn't know the policy, and didn't realise you were an admin, but with that and the AfD, maybe there's some wiki-stress going on here. If so, take care of yourself. :) Ty 23:39, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Circeus,

Just a thanks for copyediting my articles and submitting them for DYK each time. You might find a few articles will be devoid of interesting facts, simply because there has been no research on some of these species, so don't worry if there's no DYK. I also would like your opinion on what to do with the Carangoides ciliarius article. I know you would have read through the painful taxonomic mess surrounding Carangoides armatus, and i am certain C. ciliarius is a synonym of C. armatus. I would normally just redirect C. ciliarius to C. armatus and include this in the taxonomy section, but both Fishbase and ITIS (the two 'primary' authorities to believed over any other according to Wikiproject Fishes) keep both species as valid (although it should be noted the Fishbase page for C. ciliarius is pretty much empty, no picture or common name). A number of people have synonymised the two names, including the 2002 FAO Catalogue. It just seems like a waste of time to basically write the C. aramtus article out again, just under another species name. I would like to just redirect the article and leave it at that. I would like your thoughts on this if possible. Thanks again Kare Kare (talk) 04:09, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

The article is up, and consists of a discussion of the taxonomy, which is quite lengthy. I still have to go back to the Williams and Venkataramani article to find their reasoning for suggesting C armatus be given priority (its only available in hard copy, and i only photocopied the page describing C. armatus in detail, but i know they have a significant discussion on the matter). Feel free to rearrange the article if need be. Cheers Kare Kare (talk) 09:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Taxoboxes

Thanks for noticing my taxobox errors on Desmanthus bicornutus and elsewhere. I resolve to be more cautious so you'll have more time to fix other editors' screw-ups. – Boston (talk) 20:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

• "...massive misunderstanding of taxonomic terms"? Wow...bitey! I actually do know that the genus of Callophrys mcfarlandi is, of course, Callophrys (or Sandia, but that's another issue) so this is an error indicative of my general stupidity rather than any stupidity specific to taxa. Cut me some slack...I write like 3 articles a day...am I expected to get the facts correct as well? Anyways (seriously) thanks again for catching and correcting my errors. Boston (talk) 22:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

• Actually, I owe you an apology for that one. I had sort of forgotten I was editing one of your creations, and you probably did knew better, and just had a brainfart (I write stuff like that when I begin a sentence and change what I want to write in the middle of it).

Cobblestone Farmhouse at 1229 Birdsey Road and naming conventions

Hi. I trust you don't mind i moved Cobblestone Farmhouse at 1229 Birdsey Road back to that name, from "1229 Birdsey Road". It is in fact a "formal" name for the property, as it is the title of the NRHP registration document and it is also the title given by the National Park Service in the two webpages for new listings and weekly announcements, linked in the article.

I wonder if there is a general issue to discuss, perhaps at wt:NRHP, perhaps for writing into draft wp:NRHPMOS. I have noticed while working on the List of RHPs in NYC recently that the NRHP names for many properties are in format "House at 1227..." or "Building at 1227..." while sometimes the article names are not in that format. I feel that the NRHP name is a formal enough name to use, but there is a gray area. It is an even grayer area, too, about how to name Canadian octagon houses being added to List of octagon houses, etc., where there is no NRHP name and the only available reference may be one of the two fairly informal personal websites about the octagon houses, which don't give titles for the houses the way that the NRHP program does.

Anyhow, Lvklock and i are working on that cobblestone farmhouse article for DYK right now so I hope you don't mind keeping that one in place under the current name for now. doncram (talk) 16:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if my sentence "I wonder if there is a general issue to discuss..." rubbed you the wrong way; it didn't come out as intended. I meant to show interest in understanding what is your perspective. Comments like the NRHP is "moronic" does not really enlighten me, oh well.  :) doncram (talk) 19:52, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Circeus; don't worry about accidentally editing one of my sandboxes—you've shown me how to do note labels properly now, so I'm grateful!

Hi Circeus; the reference in the article to St Margaret's Church actually relates to a different, now demolished St Margaret's in central Brighton, not the extant one in Rottingdean.

legal footnotes

Since you indicated here that you're not that familiar with legal writing practices, just a note for future reference: Getting rid of Latin terms because the MOS feels we need to accomodate our not-so-swift readers out there (as if the Simple English wikipedia weren't already there, as if the sort of reader confused by Latin abbreviations even knows there are footnotes to begin with, as if we actually had an MOS section on legal subjects — but anyway ...) is one thing, but when doing so in articles about Supreme Court decisions, it's important that you retain the aspect of the note that indicates if it's a dissenting or concurring opinion ... there's nothing about that conflicts with WP:FN AFAICR, and it's helpful (also, do remember to maintain a consistent short name all the way through. It looks really sloppy when one footnote refers to Prima Paint, only to have the next one say Prima Paints). Thanks. Daniel Case (talk) 19:59, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

As if writing an encyclopedia isn't something of a scholarly endeavor :-)? We have peer review and an adminship process that makes the average tenure year look like a breeze sometimes, yet we're too hip to use Latin abbreviations in footnotes? Latin expressions whose meaning anyone with two neurons to rub together can usually intuit, or (God forbid) follow a wikilink.

That said, I think you're confusing the arguments against using "Ibid.", which there's no need to do with the current referencing system and which I haven't done since its use became the standard with the arguments about using "author, op. cit., page number". If you want to argue that dropping the Latin in the middle saves server space, I'll actually be more receptive, but neither option changes the fact that if some well-meaning other editor (usually new) decides to move vast chunks of the article around, it's necessary to manually readjust the footnotes so that the full information comes on first reference regardless of whether you use a Latin abbreviation or not. As for Supra., it makes it a little clearer that you're referring to the same decision, just a different opinion or page, regardless of whether it was the same reference as the preceding footnote. It's used that way in legal documents both in and out of court, more like op. cit. than Ibid..

The real problem, of course, is that no one's really put much thought into adapting our footnoting system so they automatically readjust to first or succeeding reference when moved around. It's possible, one of many complaints I have with how the referencing system works and doesn't work. I'm not the one with the skills to do it, but there's got to be someone who could.

Troy post office

I understand your point here, but as I will be creating Central Troy Historic District (since, basically, my next dozen articles are all on contributing properties to it) after finishing this one I thought I'd save myself some time. Daniel Case (talk) 15:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

And my understanding was that it was used when the property was listed independently, but also located within a district (Which sort of makes more sense ... do we have articles about every contributing property in a district? There isn't a lot to say about some of them other than a few lines. There are 9,000 CPs in, say, the Butte-Anaconda Historic District ... that's an awfully large load).

OR dilemma

Can I prevail on you for some advice and/or a copyedit?

I wanted to write a climate section for North Island (Houtman Abrolhos). North Island has had a weather station for nearly 20 years, so there is plenty of data available, but no-one has synthesised this data into a model of the island's climate. If that was all there was to it, I would conclude that I cannot write a climate section, because any conclusions I might draw from the raw data would be original research. But wait, there's more! The weather station on North Island is the only weather station in all the Houtman Abrolhos. Our Bureau of Meteorology haven't published climate data for the Houtman Abrolhos either, but a description of the climate of the Houtman Abrolhos has been published by a marine biologist / oceanographer. That description is (explicitly) based on the North Island data. I therefore think it should be possible to write a climate section for North Island, but it is a challenge to make it readable without misrepresenting the specificity of the source (which I haven't cited yet, but I will!). I had a go, but it isn't very good.

If you check http://gazetteer.kar.nic.in/data/gazetteer/postind/11_1973_3.pdf there are a lot of statistics available about the people, languages etc...there are many more PDF's that way. Just change the last no from 3 to 2 etc...Some speak about the distribution of industries. But where do these statistics go. Definitely not in the Dakshina Kannada article because Dakshina Kannada and South Canara are not the same. I'm sure someone can easily elevate South Canara to FA status with the stats. Hence, 2 articles can exist. Thanks, Kensplanet^Talk_{Contributions} 05:39, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Additionally, you can also check the maps File:Karnataka TuluNadu.png of South Canara and File:DakshinaKannada.png of Dakshina Kannada and compare the areas. Kensplanet^Talk_{Contributions} 05:44, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Fishkill

I would assume that link (to the village article) was correct. The settlement that became today's village is pretty much what they would have meant by Fishkill at that time. Daniel Case (talk) 04:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Seward Memorial pic

Yeah, had I had my druthers, in retrospect I realize I could have gotten away with PD (which I ultimately did for File:Washington Irving Memorial.jpg when I realized that French's death year made it much more arguably PD and that panorama freedom covers the architecture.

With the Seward pic I wasn't as sure because I don't know what the controlling date is for a work published after the author's death (There'd be no incentive for publishing anything posthumously). Does some fixed period elapse? A lot depends, too, on whether the copyright was formally renewed, and whether that was done prior to or after 1962 (or 1978, the year copyright went from being opt-in to opt-out). I don't think the architecture matters since the picture was taken after 1991.

We should ask at ICQ. Had I no concerns as to the fair-use policy being predictably applied, that image would be at Commons, but over there I think they look for reasons to bump images and I don't trust them. Daniel Case (talk) 07:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
