Mullins reference on Coming Out article

Hello, thank you for adding the Mullins reference on the article Coming Out (1989 film). I notice that it is a book about painting, not film. Does it actually say anything about the film being shot in the home of one of the Bisky family, which was the claim that needed verifying, or does it just make a passing mention of Norbert Bisky's painting?10:49, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Felixkrater (talk)

Boris Fedtschenko

If his birth date was 27 December 1872 (Gregorian) in Leipzig, then it was 15 December 1872 according to the Russian calendar of that time (Julian). If it was 27 December 1872 (Julian) in Russia, then it was 8 January 1873 (Gregorian) in Leipzig.

Please don't add Audiences scores

Please note that Audiences scores are not a reliable source and are user generated content the same as any other web poll, and are not allowed. (IMDB user votes also not allowed.)

I hope you have already learned not to add audiences scores but I notice as recently as February 2019 you added Rotten Tomatoes audience scores to an article. It is great that you are expanding articles with proper review information but please avoid adding audiences scores if you aren't already doing so. -- 109.79.161.229 (talk) 00:34, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Film lists

Please note that the "cast" column in a film list, such as List of LGBT-related films of 2004, is not supposed to contain a complete list of every single person who was in each film at all; it is only supposed to name the two, three or four people who are the film's primary stars. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 23:57, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

TheRichest.com as a source

Hi DavidAnstiss. I noticed that you used [1] therichest.com as a source for biographical information in Annie Sprinkle. Please note that the general consensus as expressed at WP:RSN is that therichest.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks.--Ronz (talk) 16:55, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Walk a mile in my Prada.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Walk a mile in my Prada.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 11:30, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Formis

Dear DavidAnstiss, could you please point to a reliable source that identifies formis as a single word. It is actually the form of forma in compounds, but then we have to write -formis [with hyphen] instead. But the source does not use a hyphen to indicate that it is not single word and the source additionally omits to identify those words [...] as Latin, while the Wiki-lemma states that the source would indicate that cuniculus and formis are Latin terms. And why would this site be a reliable source for providing etymology? Wimpus (talk) 10:29, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-formis DavidAnstiss (talk) 18:07, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

That is actually not a word, but a word forming element and written with a hyphen. Etymologically, that is a fundamental difference. So, techinically your edit is still incorrect. And by the way, Wiktionary is not a reliable source: A wiki-based dictionary that anyone can edit without editorial oversight is not reliable, and that includes Wiktionary. Wimpus (talk) 21:45, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

And please check Iris filifolia, where you have stated: Filifolia comes from the Greek words, 'fili' meaning thread-like and 'folia' meaning leaf It is actually Latin and fili is again not a separate word and folia is not the nominative singular. Or are these errors really in Stearn's work?  Wimpus (talk) 00:07, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Dear DavidAnstiss, could you please recheck Stearn. Fili is not a separate word and folia is not the nominative singular. It seems that you are misinterpreting your source. Wimpus (talk) 23:46, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Walk a mile in my Prada.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Walk a mile in my Prada.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 02:45, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Importance (re)assessments

It has been agreed to by the editors at WP:Wikiproject Plants that if a species is in cultivation, it should not be Importance-assessed as 'Low'. They should be 'Mid', and if they get more than 100 pageviews a day, consideration should be given to to assessing them as 'High'. I have been reassessing as many as I can, but if you want to take a look at some of the articles you have worked on and reassess them, that would be helpful.

File permission problem with File:Iris meda (plant).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Iris meda (plant).jpg, which you've attributed to Milan Blazek. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:55, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Reticulata irises

Hi, I note that you thanked me for an edit related to reticulata irises, and that you've created and edited quite a few Iris articles. The cultivars belonging to the Reticulata horticultural group seem to be rather randomly spread over a number of articles. Iris reticulata has 'Katharine Hodgkin', for example, which is generally accepted to be a hybrid. Iris histrioides also lists it, plus 'George', which sources suggest is a cultivar of I. reticulata. An article in The Plantsman (March 2016) discusses some other species it says were used in creating cultivars. So I'm wondering whether a separate article as something like "Iris Reticulata Group" or "Reticulata iris" might not be better. What do you think? Peter coxhead (talk) 17:30, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

I am not an expert but I agree about the random spread of articles, I prefer the Group title as it seems to cover more species and has been used before.DavidAnstiss (talk) 13:19, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok. Are you interested in sorting this? Otherwise I'll add it to my to-do list. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:16, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

re Gutenbergia rueppellii

Hello DA, hope you and yours are well. I have made 2 changes to the article, one was using POWO to update distribution, the other was the same source updating synonyms. So why this note on your talk page? I noticed that you used The Plant List as source for name and synonyms. TPL now states that it is out of date and not to be used, they prefer you to use World Flora Online. I find that the sister POWO site replicates and presents better the same data. Keep up the good work. Brunswicknic (talk) 14:31, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
