It's always nice while out on New Page Patrol to come across a new article which is intelligent and well thought out, so very well done. Please consider having a look at Wikipedia:categorization and pick the appropriate category so that this page can be viewed on the encyclopedia's indices. A1octopus 18:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Do you happen to have any information for Praecambridium, Vendia or Onega?-- Mr Fink 17:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I was just wondering, as I've been trying to find more information to spruce up the articles Wikipedia has on them so far.-- Mr Fink 17:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi there - re your recent edit to Jura, Scotland, I can't access the on-line reference and I am not sure what you meant in the first clause. "The deer prevent the island from tumbling back down to woodland". This is an unusual use of 'tumbling' - is it intended to have the sense: "The deer prevent the re-growth of woodland"? Ben MacDui (Talk) 12:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I use the word tumbling in the 'ecological succession' sense of 'Tumbling down to woodland' championed by Oliver Rackham; I agree it's probably not my best worded edit! I hadn't realised the online reference demanded a log-in; I'll see if I can cite it properly. I could probably send you the scanned page if you're interested - I'm not sure of the copyright implications of posting that on Wikipedia! Whilst the publication is from over 100 years ago, its marked © of Glasgow & Edinburgh Universities...

I'll get right on it. I have a picture done of the Ediacaran-type, I might redraw that, though, as well as do some more of the Nama and Avalon types.-- Mr Fink 14:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Excellent work. Love the references, though it doesn't meet the DYK criteria (12.4 KB isn't usually considered a stub and it's three- to four-fold increase, not a five-fold increase in size). After Wikipedia:Peer review/Ediacaran biota, you might want to consider nominating it as a good and then eventually as a featured article. (I'd recommend doing it slowly... while the content is excellent, it would be torn to shreds in FA; it needs a significant amount of copyediting and wikification to meet their standards — things like ref format, date format, stronger lead, use of exclamation points, too many short sentences, etc). I'll try to help.
I also recommend requesting that your work page and the article itself be merged; retaining the full history is valuable.
Hi Versimilus, thanks for your comments on Coral. I think I have addressed the points you have raised, so when you get a chance I would much appreciate you taking another look. Thanks, |→ Spaully₪ † 17:15, 10 April 2007 ( GMT)
Please go to the article Edicara to note that there is a request suggestion of Speedy Delete placed on that article in relation (it seems to a user name sub-page you have created). Could you please check the content on that sub-page etc-- VS talk 22:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately I cannot discover a way read a queries tacked on to the end of a URL using wiki software. I've figured out how to dynamically make the links but extracting the query from the URL appears to not be feasible .. which presents quite a problem for you. I cannot think of a feasible solution. My assumption is that you want to make links that reference a certain time in history, and when one clicks on the link, they are taken to a page showing where they are in the geological timeline? The only proposal I can come up with is to create the template so that when someone writes it in coding, they use the specific number, but the template itself rounds that number for linking. That way you can create like one for 100 million years.. 200 million years... etc. If you want to do that, I can help you. Otherwise, I'd suggest bringing this up at the Village Pump. Best of luck. -- drumguy8800 C T 04:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Verisimilus, thanks for your recent activity on the Snowball Earth article. I'd be happy to help out where I can. See you there... -- Zamphuor 01:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Verisimilus. Right at the moment I don’t feel I have much to contribute to Snowball earth. However, I’ll keep my eyes open, and if I run across anything I think might be of value to the article I'll be sure to drop by talk with it. I very much appreciate your asking though.

Wikipedia does not use images that are only licensed for educational, non-commercial, or Wikipedia only. For purposes of Wikipedia, "free" means that the copyright holder explicitly releases the image under a license that permits anyone to use the image for any purpose, including commercial reuse and derivative works. See The foundation's resolution on images and http://freedomdefined.org/Definition for more information.
If you have an interest in pursuing it, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission discusses how to request a copyright release from the copyright holder, but to be perfectly honest, I don't know that there is much chance of a major entity like Nature magazine being willing to do so. -- BigDT 15:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the assessment of geology articles. That kind of spam in my watch list was a pleasant one. Solarapex 03:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dropstone cropped.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:46, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that you made this edit to the article. For the life of me, I can't see what it did to the references, but in your summary you said it would look smarter. I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm trying to find little tricks to improve articles, so I'd like to see what happened. Maybe it didn't work for some reason? Orangemarlin 20:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{ GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. -- Nehrams2020 01:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
I suppose I do agree about the lists. I'll work on turning the two small lists of main and former staff into prose and transfer the tabled lists into their respective articles as prose in Production sections.
As for what you meant by "choppy", I can see why you'd say this, but it's still slightly unclear as to what you meant by the article "reading more like a list of facts and events than anything else". I'm assuming you mean the History section than anything else. The company has only been around for 9 years and produced 6 products; there really isn't much history beyond what they have produced in that time. How would I make it not a 'list of fact and events' like you stated?-- 十 八 10:08, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
On May 7 you nominated this article for Good Article and I revently reviewed it and failed it for reasons on the article talk page. This article is close to being a good article and I hope you will resubmit it once some things are fixed. Cheers! -- Banana 02:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello Verisimilus,
You removed some classifications I added to several articles about Ediacarian organisms, namely Arkarua, Ausia and Charnia. The source I used for these classifications was the Paleobiology Database, which is contributed to by geology and paleontology universities and museums. Don't you think that is a reliable enough source? If anyone knows the facts, these people do. Jerkov 14:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi. You are listed as a participant in WikiProject Geology. Maybe you to please consider helping to improve the oil shale article. This article has developed quite well, but some more expert assistance is needed. Thank you in advance. Beagel 17:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. Sorry to bug you, but were the changes OK? TimVickers 05:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, You recently failed this GAC due to lack of stability. I think that the article has been much improved and is stable now. If you wanted to take a look, that would be great. I have not relisted it at GAC yet, I thought that I would ask you first since you offered to re-review it. If you don't have time for a review I totally understand. Please let me know... thanks-- DO11.10 17:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

You ever see pictures of those Selenopeltis trilobites that are covered in edrioasters? If you have, do you happen to know what species they are?-- Mr Fink 21:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Right. I've fixed everything but the too-high Cryogenian. I don't know what's doing that. Rounding error? Vanished user talk 15:01, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
It's nearly right now, but the bars seem exactly 2 years too low compared to the notes and scale. (E.g. the "Last global glaciation" bar lines up with the Cryogenian border at -637, but both should be at -635. Likewise, the "Last Ediacaran communities" is slightly above the Cambrian/Ediacaran border. Vanished user talk 14:32, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I've left a couple final notes on
Talk:Ediacaran biota. If my latest revisions are alright, and if the citation needed tag can be removed, I say let's try FA.

By the way, if you were wondering: I simplified the Cambrian events so much because the old timeline seemed to be putting more emphasis on the Cambrian than the Ediacaran, for no readily apparent reason.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 16:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look at the Pit and the Pendulum article. Your comment was not really naive, as many articles on wikipedia do seem to contain spoiler tags. However, according to wikipedia's spoiler guidelines, "it is unusual for scholarly reference works (of the sort that Wikipedia aspires to be) to warn for spoilers when discussing fictional works. If they do, they often avoid terms such as 'spoiler'. Because of this, spoiler warnings should generally be avoided." The general consensus appears to be that if an article on a fictional work contains a synopsis section, the reader should simply assume that plot details (i.e., "spoilers") are included.- Hal Raglan 20:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
