Lake Buhi
Great article on Lake Buhi! Hope that you could make an infobox based on your knowledge about the lake, you could check out other articles on lakes of the Philippines (ex. Laguna de Bay) what this infobox is. Cheers! Meynardtengco 11:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
regarding your reply: thesis is hell (and you'd only be able to try out the lake infoboxes after "fixing your acads"), yeah i agree, i'm also busy with my thesis in the closing weeks of this semester, and my graduation might be delayed, good luck then! Meynardtengco 14:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Philippine Mouse Deer
Sure thing, I'll look the article over and see what I can do over the next few days. :) Yup, MSI has field work, although depending on your inclination, there are courses that have a lot of lab work as well. Check out the MSI website if your interested, I actually created their article on Wikipedia (although not finished with it yet, it's still a stub :) ). Shrumster 15:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. I hope they have "lab work" in Boracay. Nakabato kasi sa laboratory namin, puro bacteria lang tsaka daga. Gusto sana magtrabaho outdoors. Parang National Geographic Lenticel 03:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Panglao, Bohol et al
Hi, I just read about the 3000+ new species found in Panglao. I want to add it to the article but I don't know where to stick it in. I'll try to put a biodiversity section there.
- Hey! Thank you for the quick response/update on the article.--Ate Pinay (talk•email) 04:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Nice kagwang pic nga pala.---Lenticel 03:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- I am still looking for more. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 04:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I moved the section to Panglao Island. I did not know then that this article existed.---Lenticel 04:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- I was thinking sometime ago about starting the article Bohol Marine Triangle but I was afraid that there will be not much references on this and will end up just doing primary research. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 04:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
BTW, I graduated BS Bio in UP Cebu 1987. and you? --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 04:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the Barnstar! I always wanted one. I try and look up Bohol Marine Triangle and see what I can find. Anyways, I'll (hopefully) graduate BS Molecular Biology and Biotechnology this year in UP Diliman. I'm thinking of getting a Masters in Marine Science Institute, UP Diliman ---- Lenticel 05:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Award
The Philippine Barnstar | ||
Lenticel, I award you this Philippine Barnstar for your incredible efforts on Philippine species. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 04:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC) |
Lenticel, thank you. I will place it in my wishlist. BTW, what is your thesis on? Had we talked prior, I would have asked you to work on the Philippine tarsier and helped direct you to the proper agencies and authorities on it! It would have been a good experience for you, as well as beneficial too for the Philippine Tarsier Foundation which would be very very supportive of you! Let me know how I can be of help to you, too. I have very good and strong research background. I can be a silent or "ghost adviser" to you, too. LoL...But I am serious! Send me an email thru wikipedia email...--Ate Pinay (talk•email) 07:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Thesis
O, okey. BTW, I did not mean to reduce your research experience at all. Just offered a "third research eye", since I also did some thesis advising before, while I did some research projects too. The USAID-DOH Project used EPI-INFO software for their epidemiology studies. Dengue would be very relevant. Malaria, too, but isn't that last more studied? I would be interested in dengue, as a member of my family suffered of it back in 1998! And believe me, it wasn't a very pleasant experience. Thankfully, his blood count stabilized and didn't really need any blood transfusion, though donors were on standby with type AB blood! More sharing later. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 09:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the side comment on the Philippine tarsier. I am very proud of it, too. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 09:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I think I reverted that on the basis that the link title read like advertising. It also seemed to go against Wikipedia:Avoid self-references (saying 'us' for a start). I suggest you either incorporate it into a footnote or post it on the talk page under a verifiability heading. Thanks. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 13:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Tamaraw
Hi! I'll try to see what I can do with the tamaraw article. Right now, it's still a bit incomplete in terms of detail and coverage, but it's getting there. Shrumster 04:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Phew, bulked it up, I'll be taking a break for a couple of hours. :) Do we have any open-source pics for the baby? I'm thinking after we're done with the article, we can slap it into peer-review and depending on how long it is, maybe even go straight to FA. But that's thinking a bit too far ahead. I'll focus on bulking it up first. Shrumster 07:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks! I'll see if I can scrape some pics off from somewhere. Shrumster 05:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Neat! At least now we actually have a pic! :) Shrumster 04:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Cool! In that case, I'll redirect my newfound Wikienergy into it again. :) Shrumster 06:43, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Salamat sa update/s. Congrats sa hard work mo re thesis. Okey, will check out the Tamaraw article. I can ask my contacts at DENR to help with the citation/s and pics. let me know. Or better still, i can link you to them. oks? di ba? --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 08:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Abaniko
Hi, i noticed that you redirected Abaniko to Belamcanda chinensis. Although this may be the plant's Filipino name, I don't think that's what the requested article in Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines is all about - it should refer to the native fan. Could I request you to remove the redirect? Thank you. -- • Kurt Guirnela • ‡ Talk 15:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Spider fighting
hi Lenticel,
many thanks for your article on Spider fighting. Yes, WikiProject Spiders is the place for this :) I even made an article some time ago, Fighting spider. I'm not sure if T. bhamoensis is the only species used for this; if so, the two articles should probably be merged. In case you want to create more articles about spiders (please do!), it's best to add the template {{WPSpiders}} to the Talk page of the article. This way, we can easily find it.
cheers --Sarefo 11:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- thx for the hint, i slightly changed the wording in the last sentence of the article. if you happen to be in the Philippines some time, and run by some of these spiders, maybe you can take some pictures? :) --Sarefo 14:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 11:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
hi lenticel,
this article is one of Patrick Moran's pet pages. He's a bit obsessed with the venomosity of spiders as far as I'm concerned (i concentrate on the biodiversity). I know about this page, but it's highly unlikely that I'll ever touch it, because I don't see any way for it to become really useful. To identify spiders, you need a dichotomous key (I don't like these), or an interactive key[1] (I'm trying to work in this field in the future, but probably not in wikipedia, as it needs special software). However, maybe if somebody wants to really put some effort into this page, it can be a nice entry point to spider biodiversity for people that know nothing about spiders. cheers :) --Sarefo 14:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-english pages
Hello! If you come across another article that's not in English, please add it to Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English so it can be taken care of. If you'd like to have an article translated from another wiki, please use Wikipedia:Translation.

DYK
I'm not exactly the best in that field of articles, however, having had a skim down the article, it looks pretty good. The references seem suitable. I think you should go for GA now if nothing bad comes back from the peer review. Davnel03 10:25, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- You may as well. Davnel03 13:05, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Perna viridis
I just nominated your article, Perna viridis, for DYK. If you want to check out the hook for correctness, please do and change it as you would like. Also, it would be great if you had some sort of bivalve picture. It helps the DYK, especially as it is probably an unfamiliar subject to many people. The picture can be stuck on the DYK nomination page. Regards, Mattisse 22:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- In fact, I have no idea what it looks like. --Mattisse 22:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- I had to work on the hook some, but it finally made it for the next update! --Mattisse 01:44, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Perna viridis, was selected for DYK!

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Empire of Iuz
Well, to be honest with you, I'd probably vote to merge these articles. While I think that Gavin is missing some fairly basic points (basic research before nominating/tagging), many of his AfD nominations have been reasonable. I think that this is one of them. Of course, I don't know much about Greyhawk, so I could be wrong, but my preliminary search didn't turn up much in the way of notability for these fictional places. -Chunky Rice 21:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
What happened to this page? I just put this comment
This page could include sloughing, which is snakes replacing old skin, whereas moult refers only to fur or hair, as I recall. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 23:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Peru Surfing
Hi, I've added a number of sources since you last commented on "Who Invented Surfing" I'd appreciate your looking at the new documents especially #4. Also, Henning has written a lot about surfing including one book about Polynesia...his reseach indicates Peru as the origin and is generally accepted in the most of "Knowledgable" surfing community. The authors and their credentials of Document 4 are a sign of this acceptance. Surfmac2004 11:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
I understand. It's just irritating when someone says something's not copypasted when I see that it is. That begins to stink of a less-than-scrupulous editor, and I get snippy. But he's since fixed it, so I'm satiated. I do think the article should be worked into a "history of surfing" section or article, instead of being called "who invented surfing. It's a bad title. - CobaltBlueTony 15:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
The Goal
Thanks for reaching out. I hope no editor felt I was picking on them personally. My goal is to improve Wikipedia, like most everybody. What I would like to see is a lot of freestanding articles merged into a few tidy articles. SolidPlaid 04:09, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- From composing my message to Cube lurker, I came to realize that I think there is a big difference between tagging articles as unsourced, non-notable, etc., versus tagging or nominating them for deletion. But maybe Gavin.collins has got other people thinking that his tagging of articles is a first salvo in an uncoming deletion nominating spree. Let's hope that's not the case.

Hi! Regarding this article, I'm afraid I've never even been there, so we're really going to have to depend on anyone else here who may have gone there before. The effort to create entries for the various tributaries of Laguna de Bay is part of my effort to familiarize myself with the geography and conservation status of the lake, for a novel I'm writing. So in a lot of ways, the reason I made the article at all is because of my unfamiliarity with it. :-S Which is saying, I wanna help get the DYK (of course!), but I'm not sure how.
Hm. Er... questions ... 1. what do you mean by hook? and 2. where do i go to learn how to create infoboxes like the one you put on siniloan?
I'd like to try to do that to the other tributaries as well. :-D Alternativity 17:46, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Hm, my first ever image is now a map that shows the rough course of the Siniloan river. :-D -- Alternativity 08:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks for the award! Those blinking eyes are kind of freaky, though! :) I certainly appreciate that you take the same stand that I do that it's better to make sure that information is kept somehow rather than deleted outright. If you don't know about them already, you might be interested in WP:ICU and WP:ARS. Both are projects of sorts which help improve articles that are up at AfD for reasons such as needing expansion, cleanup and sourcing (which aren't really reasons for deletion in the first place, but that's another can of worms entirely) as well as needing notability to be established. LaMenta3 22:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I can't guaranty with this article i've started yesterday because its going to be a busy day starting today. I'm a student and classes will probably resume now.

Two of which is the image of Marcela while she was in Hongkong where that image taken was requested by Gen. Aguinaldo and one is their family picture. I just cropped the image and my problem is on how to license. I know that these are all free because its an old image and its copyright protection had expired but it was only cropped in a newspaper. Does Inquirer holds the copyright or not? --Britand&Beyonce (talk•contribs) 09:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Napindan Channel/River vs. Pasig River
I get conflicting sources saying either that Napindan is just the upper portion of Pasig River or that Pasig River only starts where Napindan and Marikina River meet.

Is this appropriate?
Comment. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to believe any of the claims made by Robert Young. In a comment above made from an IP address, Young says "there's a big difference between 'rat catcher for the local council' and in charge of the world's oldest people for the entire planet". If someone who claims to be a researcher thinks that they are "in charge of the world's oldest people for the entire planet", I have to seriously question whether anything they write can be trusted. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your kindness (Philippine Barnstar). I hope my Philippine articles will be read and cited not only by students but professors of law, inter alia. Our very own Coconut charcoal (unique and awarded by Philippine BiD) and the 23 year legal saga of Rita Milla (abused by 7 priests, not duplicated in LA history) which I both created, for sure, would be read by Filipinos.

Tagalog taxonomy
Sure thing! I'll take a look. Honestly though, when it comes to scientific terms, I'd prefer that we stick to the terms most-commonly used in the scientific community. In this case, it'd most probably be the English equivalents of each taxonomic rank. Either that or just use whatever official translations are used by those who practice systematics in Filipino/Tagalog. Shrumster (talk) 09:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Lenticel! thank you for the compliment. Likewise, I enjoyed your essay User:Lenticel/Deletion_isn't_Evil, which caught my attention right under the mysteriously blinking eyes (I wasn't expecting them to blink at me)! Indeed, many of those who have been here for a long time neglect to consider the feelings of others. It's one of the things I was trying to get at in WP:IAD.

Placing assesment tags on Philippine related articles
Hello Lentice, I noticed you placed an assesment tag on the article for Street Children in The Philippines. I was wondering, should I place these tags also on the articles on charities in the Philippines? Would this be of help? Im planning on eventually doing articles on all charities in the Philippines of which I estimate there are around 2,000. So any advice or guidence you can offer on how you think it best presented on wikipedia would be mnuch appreciated. kind regardsSusanbryce (talk) 14:09, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
