I've found a great website: http://www.geograph.co.uk they aim to have a photo from every 1km grid square in Britain, and all the images are licensed as Creative Commons Attribution, so tey are suitable for use on wikipedia. I have addded some to some hill pages, just thought I;'d let you know. Grinner 09:13, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Interesting idea that, I'd never thought of it that way before. Still, the other parentage definition is the one used and generally accepted by the RHB (relative hills of britain) community. It's simply the nearest summit (connected by a ridge) to the first summit that has a higher prominence than the first summit. Thus, Great Gable would be the parent of High Stile.
The only trouble with your method is thst it breaks down for hills with very low cols. For example, The Verne (highest point on the Isle of Portland has its col at 7 metres above c level. According to your method its parent would be Ben Nevis, since the 7m contour touching the col surrounds Ben Nevis. You could probably have seaside bumps in Siberia that had Everest as their parent.
I got my information from the file 'Marilyn's parents' at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rhb/files/ - the relative height group site. If you're not a member I advise you to join, since you seem to be so interested in RH. It's the definition of parentage they use there, anyway. -- Mark J 10:38, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Stemonitis!
I noticed your vote on Talk:Großglockner and thought I'd try to interest you in those:
I'm guessing, however, that you're more interested in mountains than ß's and I have a lot of respect for that :)
Regards,
Haukur Þorgeirsson 23:21, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm actually in the process of responding, so if you can wait a bit longer. Mark 15:05, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Stemonitis - I've started a few articles on hills in the Clwydian Range, however, I don't have a source for some of the infobox details. I'd be grateful if you could drop me a note on my talk page with a pointer to getting this info, for the future - Thanks -- Serenome 20:01, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
hey, maybe if you are interested you would like to drop by and take a look at Esperanza and maybe join in if you want? with kind regards... Gryffindor 00:06, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
hello there, terribly sorry to disturb you with this topic, but there is a new vote Talk:Weissenburg in Bayern on finally renaming it to Weißenburg in Bayern and since you have shown previous interested, I just thought I'd let you know what is going on... with kind regards. Gryffindor 22:49, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Could you, as someone knowledgeable about decapods, take a look at Talk:Squat lobster and maybe even answer the question there? Thank you! Lupo 07:11, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
With reference to "Uca mjoebergi" I presume? Normally I would, butthis page had very few edits so I didn't bother. Donama 08:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
We're a bit touchy, yes? The paragraph says "Famous Grahams". Maybe you could come up with a more properly worded heading that would automatically exclude entries such as Graham Hill, Billy Graham, Graham Crackers, etc. Or maybe you could come up with a sense of humour. There's a way to accomplish the former, with one keystroke. I'm not counting on the latter anytime soon. Wahkeenah 08:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Never mind, Mr. "Inflamation of the Stemon", I did it for you. Wahkeenah 09:16, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, basically I was up there last weekend, and noticed that the name actually had accents in from the map (never noticed that before). I was using a 1:50000, but as far I can see the 1:25000 is the same: it's Buachaille Etive Mór and Stob na Bròige on both isn't it? Grinner 12:46, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the acute accent is only proper in
Irish, and that
Scottish Gaelic always uses the grave.
Angr would know for sure.

Hi Ste, I've just created an article on Craigysgafn. Couple of issues - it's over 2000ft but under 30m prominence, so technically it's not a Hewitt. Therefor, I've left the listing as a "Sub Hewitt" at present (not sure whether there's any precedent here). Secondly, is it appropriate to use Mtnbox for a ridge. It's definately worth an article - just not sure whether or not we're using Mtnbox for ridges. (If not, I'll remove the Mtnbox for this article). Any thoughts on either of those? - thanks -- Serenome 04:44, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
hi, it seems you are interested in this template, so I just want to let you know that somebody is deleting this template and other notes about foreign characters in location names. That somebody created at least 4 different user names. The most active one user:Diacrit is now temporarily blocked. So please keep an eye on the articles that use the template or otherwise mention foreign characters. Thanks. Renata3 21:50, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
i assume/presume there is a guideline written somewhere that this is the way to go. eg. Ballajura. Eigg i think is an isle rather than a town. major cities like Melbourne can be left as it is. -- Zondor 09:04, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Just to let you know in case you're interested, the definitions of parentage that we were arguing about before - there's a section on them now in the Topographic prominence article. I think your method is 'Encirclement parentage' and mine is 'Prominence parentage'.
Thanks for updating and adding prominence to some of the mountain pages. It all helps to promote the concept.
Do you think there is there any chance of getting the guys at Wiki to improve the coordinate displays?
56°20' (spaces) N 3°15' (spaces) W looks silly. They should appear like this, surely 56°20'N 3°15'W. What do you think? (sorry about the edits, hope it's OK now) Viewfinder 12:05, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I concede I had misread the number of spaces, the minute and second symbols widen the spaces in front of them, giving the impression of two spaces. But if there are no spaces between the degree symbol and first minute digit, why have a space between the minute symbol and the first digit of seconds? And why have a space between the second symbol and the hemisphere character? As it stands now it is hard not to focus on N 3°15'. So I propose to take these non-breaking spaces out of the template. At least let's give this a try, it can be easily reverted. But I don't want an edit war over this so if you object to this then please respond. Viewfinder 16:46, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
You might like to checkout on the discussion at Category_talk:Mountains_and_hills_of_the_Peak_District, concerning "minor peaks". Grinner 10:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Please note that I have reinstated my 'Peak District Minor Tops' with Axe Edge now moved. I consider it a useful tie-in for many small named tops not yet included - for instance I would expect in due course to have a reference out to Chrome and Parkhouse Hills, and probably Alport Height. Bob aka Linuxlad 09:51, 21 November 2005 (UTC) I've put the reply to you and Grinner on my talk area Linuxlad
Hello Stemonitis! In case you are unaware, Halibutt is going through the administrator vote process. I believe that any input you could provide would be valued. Olessi 08:09, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
Actually, the village's name is Galapagos (no accents), possibly unlike the name of the penguin. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 19:57, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Thought you might be interested in this - especially considering the provenance of the photo !

This image has no information on its source. Unless adequate information on its source and copyright status is provided soon, it may be deleted without further notice, because it was tagged as having those problems more than a week ago. Ingoolemo talk 05:49, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on Moreton Bay bug, including fixing double redirections after having moved its name to the accurate one. I know it is a dreary work. -- BorgQueen 22:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't think adding links for cm, m ,kg, years etc. adds value to an article where the size of an animal is mentioned. - lycaon 16:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Stemonitis. I think I've fixed the mess I made vis-a-vis Halloween crabs and Halloween hermit crabs, but I'd appreciate it if you could check it over, as I am by no means an expert (I just started a stub because it was a long-requested article). Thanks! Proto t c 13:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Please do not perform a move using cutting and pasting - there is a more correct way of doing that. Doing it using cutting and pasting requires admins to spend a bit of time fixing it up :). See WP:MOVE for more information on moving a page. Have a good day! WhiteNight T | @ | C 21:50, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Oh dear - sorry to get you in trouble with the Management, Stem! Bob aka Linuxlad 00:12, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Looks good. I made some minor adjustments. Please remember to use the "what links here" function (left hand panel of links) to clean up redirects after a merge. Pay special attention to the ones that are two indents in, since those are double redirects, which won't get a user to their destination page. TheLimbicOne 23:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Stemonitis - I've split the Primula auricula page up so these each have their own page; could you check over to see I've not made any mistakes, please! Judging by the cited ranges, all the wiki pics (the one that was on the page, and two on commons Image:PrimulaAuricula.jpg and Image:PrimulaAuricula02.jpg; all Austrian Alps) are P. lutea, unfortunate given their file names. Do you have any info on identification of the two that could be added? - Thanks, MPF 00:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

My bad; now deleted. - Splash talk 12:05, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello! Glad to have seen your edits to the liverwort pages I had done, because I was trying to remember your username. Why? I was inspired by the humor in your "fo-3" userbox to create a whole set of them for others to use, but then couldn't remember your username to tell you. The "official" boxes use fgn rather than fo, because fo is the code for Faroese. You can see the whole set of fgn Userboxes on the Non-ISO Userboxes page. Again, I creidt the whole idea behind these to you. -- EncycloPetey 20:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I wasn't trying to backdoor you with the Murray crayfish move. I was hoping that you were going to take part in the debate too. -- Zig c 11:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your revisions to the very preliminary page on Thysanoessa raschii. I wasn't aware of how to do the taxonomy boxes until today, and appreciate the re-organizing of the previous taxonomic names as well. All help is certainly appreciated. - Ian Rose 1 February 2006
stub sort - vertebrate!
D'oh! That's what I get for editing a random page and then rushing off to class. I probably should've seen the following info from this article's infobox:
I don't know much about eels but I thought they were invertebrates. Oh well—?thanks for the correction! At least now it's been tagged as the correct stub, whereas previously it wasn't tagged at all.

I recently noticed your comments at User:Velela's talk page about alleged sockpuppetry, including the link to an alleged and now-deleted email on a sub-page of your user page. I thought that was a bit off, but didn't find time to mention it. Now you restore material that Velela removed from his (own!) talk page. It really is starting to look a bit like persecution of Velela. So, now I feel compelled to make a little complaint.
In your (now-deleted, purported) email, you list a number of reasons why you suspected Velela of sock-puppetry, and which accounts you believed to be sock puppets, and they included me. I know for certain that I am not a sock puppet, and you will notice that David Gerard also did not block me as such (my IP is completely different: the same continent, but otherwise different). If your arguments lead you to believe that User:Stemonitis is a sock puppet of User:Velela, then your arguments must be flawed. I don't know whether the other alleged sock puppets are truly so, or whether Velela's rebuttal is true; I haven't discussed it with him. I also don't care. The point is that just because people edit similar articles, it doesn't mean they're sock puppets. I know Velela from outside Wikipedia (in fact, he introduced me to it), so I keep an eye on what he edits, just out of interest. Thus, we end up editing similar articles, including Geoffrey Bolton.
Velela's other point is also true. Sock-puppetry, while discouraged, is not actually banned. No violation of the three revert rule occured, no sock puppets took part in votes. In short, nothing illegal happened (unless I've overlooked something). It would probably have been best to assume good faith rather than seeking a ban so soon: perhaps a comment on the talk page - a warning of some decsription, rather than immediate punitive action. I think an apology to Velela would probably now be in order.
And can't he remove comments from his talk page? They're still in the edit history, so they'll never be invisible, unlike your email, which has now vanished. "The truth is out there" - not any more! -- Stemonitis 09:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Good day,
You recently removed the stub tag from the Ryan G. Anderson article; could you please explain why you took that action? Folajimi (talk)
