Hi Kueda, sorry it has taken Wikipedia so long so get around to welcoming you, but you are very welcome all the same! I was happy to see you make a nudibranch article with a nice one of your pictures. Since you care about mollusks, especially gastropods I am also going to add this:

I've noticed your edits on pages relating to Gastropods; perhaps you'd be interested in joining WikiProject Gastropods? If you would like more information, please visit the project page or the project talk page.

So welcome, naturalist, malacologist and smart person! Best to you, Invertzoo (talk) 21:17, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Reply to the welcome

Well, thanks to you too for your nice reply to me! Sure, don't feel any pressure to contribute to gastropod coverage, but we will very much welcome any of your very fine photos that you might want to add to pre-existing gastropod articles, or any new articles that you might feel like starting on other nudibranchs or whatever else you might fancy... I am also happy to try to answer any question you might have on the subject of mollusks, at any time. Did you check out our new Juliidae article that was a DYK on the mainpage yesterday? Now that is one weird family of gastropods! They are very small creatures and well camouflaged but I hope we can get some free-use images of living ones before too long, they are very cool creatures. Very best wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 20:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello Kueda, problems with my log-in!

Hello Kueda and thanks so much for iNaturalist. Since you are so software savvy, I wanted to ask for your help. I am currently having very severe problems with my log-in on both Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. It started happening suddenly a couple of hours ago today, but the same thing happened six months ago and back then went on for at least 2 weeks before it got better, more or less spontaneously. Here is what is happening:

I am losing my logged-in status, AND MY PASSWORD VALIDITY, numerous times each hour. Every time I open a new window or even just go away from the computer for 20 minutes and then click back in again, the software drops my log-in. Then my current password no longer works to log me back in, so I have to request a temporary password and then create a new password, again and again and again every few minutes.

This is extremely difficult and extremely time-consuming.

The last time this happened I couldn't find anyone on Wikipedia who had any idea what could be causing this or had any idea how to fix it. I am on a Mac with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1. I was using Safari, but I just now switched to Firefox to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't.

If you wouldn't mind replying to me via email as well as on my talk page, because using my talk page is very difficult right now.

I very much appreciate any insight you might have or any idea as to who I should call about this,

Best wishes and thanks, Invertzoo (talk) 00:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chelifer cancroides, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cosmopolitan. 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.

Disambiguation link notification for March 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Euchloe ausonides, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Central Valley and Washington (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Icaricia

You changed Icaricia in 2011 to state the genus is invalid and mostly synonymous to Plebejus. However, LepIndex, ButMoth and funet still treat it as valid species—though considering how slow the various databases are at times in updating taxonomy, it doesn't prove all that much. It just means I can't verify either way whether the genus is valid or not—and the source you added with the edit is the original description of the genus and used to reference a different part of the content you added. Do you happen to remember what source you based your edit on, or otherwise have access to a source that verifies the invalidity of the genus? P.S. please ping me or leave a talkback message if you choose to respond here rather than at my talkpage. While I've watchlisted your talkpage, my watchlist is eternally overcrowded and it's possible I might miss a response otherwise. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 22:27, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately I don't remember, and looking at http://butterfliesofamerica.com/US-Can-Cat.htm I think that the current state of affairs is that Icaricia *is* valid, so either I was wrong at the time I made that change or things have since changed again and it's been re-instated. Granted, that's a North American source, but if it aligns with things like LepIndex, it's probably right. Pelham was also revised last year, so it's probably pretty current. Kueda (talk) 04:54, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your fast response! Re-instatement certainly is a possibility, the past decade or so hasn't exactly been the calmest or most stable in regards to Lepidoptera taxonomy... As it seems to be currently valid, I intend to change that part of your edit back—unless you see any reason why I shouldn't that I'm overlooking? AddWittyNameHere (talk) 05:15, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

No objections here, please go for it! Kueda (talk) 04:43, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Tharsalea gorgon

Hi Kueda, You recently created a redirect from Tharsalea gorgon to Lycaena gorgon, but it is not mentioned on the target page at all, so it is not clear whether this is an accepted synonym. Please provide some information on the target page referring to the name and author with a reliable reference. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 07:18, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
