I created one article on the subfamily of Batagurinae. I'll contribute what I can, but some are more knowledgeable than myself. Bruinfan12 ( talk) 01:59, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Hello Suncreator, In August I added more information and conclusive references to the article. Now some time has passed. but the tags remained. I guess the holidays cause delays. In the meantime I got confirmation about the most important pupils of Kraczyna that became independent printmakers. I also contacted Patricia Cordoba, one of them recently, who confirmed that what I added is right. This guy did not just teach at the American highschool in Fiesole, but his career is impressive. Hope the article is now complete according to Wikipedia standards. Best greetings, Kalaharih-- Kalaharih ( talk) 20:26, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
I invite you to join WP:WikiProject Intertranswiki, this is what we are trying to accomplish. We began creating a directory, see Albanian for instance. Granted we need a bot coder to ransack all of the language wikipedias and generate such lists.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:42, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Sadly, yes. If you want I can create a list in my userspace of the turtles and stub the missing articles if this will help. Will have to be later though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:38, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

"Quarantaine Tenements" as you "corrected" in article on Sark, is NOT "quarantine tenements".
"Quarantaine" is (as was explained in the article itself, if you'd read it) is French for "group of forty" (like "Douzaine" is French for "group of twelve") from which we get the word "dozen".
"Quarantine" is a different word (although comes from the same linguistic root), whose ultimate meaning is "a period (originally forty days) of isolation" so as not to pass on an infectious disease.
Please beware that when you see a word which you do not know, it is not always because the person writing it has got it wrong. It is not a good idea to change it to whatever comes into your head that you do recognise, until you have done a modicum of research to ensure that the replacement is accurate. -- Matt Westwood 17:14, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

18:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Hi, is it possible you could ensure all the BLPs in it are tagged so they join Category:All unreferenced BLPs, there's a lot to take on there.. I see you tagged a fair few of them, but not all. Cheers
BTW if you still want help with the turtle categories please provide me with the url links of the categories with articles you want transferred to english. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
The best thing to do with unreferenced BLPs created after March 18, 2010 is to stick a BLPPROD template on them. That way, they'll get noticed faster if they're worth saving, and if they're not they can be deleted after 10 days. Right now they're making the very last push to get the number of unreferenced BLPs and the number of BLPPRODded articles to match up (that will mean they've eliminated all the ones created before March 18, 2010), and that will expedite the process. There are a few dedicated users who check BLPPRODded articles worth saving, so you don't have to worry about good content being deleted.

Oh don't worry about the lack of response. You'd probably get more response from WP:Germany and it would be very useful..♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:50, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello, my name is Marissa. As you know, User:NYMFan69-86 has suggested that I get in touch with you when tackling the Wikipedia project. Our teacher, Mr. Butler, has told us that several Wikipedia members have caught on to the project and will often help other students. I am a bit intimidated at this point, with all the formatting and what not. But any help I can acquire now or down the road I will be more than happy to accept. If you are willing to help, I will get back in touch once we start the articles if I seem to be stuck. Thank you for your time reading this! Marissa927 ( talk) 03:28, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you! I would love help editing once we start the bigger process. Our project is to take several article as a class, or possibly small groups assigned to one article, we are still deciding. For know, we have small assignments such as making small edits and spelling corrections. If you would like to know anything else about the project or are interested in helping information can be found on our project page Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2011. Any help you can offer to me or any of my classmates would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marissa927 ( talk • contribs) 00:30, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you both for the advice. I have heard not to try medical articles, as they often get too confusing and being young high school students we are likely to get overwhelmed. I would like to tell you that my partners are User:imthebombliketicktick, User:Theawesomestpersonyouwillevermeet and User:UND77. If they message you, just know they are part of the project! Thanks again, I'll be sure to check out that spotted turtle. Marissa927 ( talk) 03:28, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Heya, P. umbrina is technically monotypic, in that the extinct form is not described and named. However, there is a fossil form of the genus from Riversleigh which is in north Queensland, showing that the genus was once wide ranging and is probably now a relic population. Cheers.

Thank you oh so very much for taking my Quoll article out of stub-ness! :)

I would just like to thank your for noticing the spot croaker article that i was working on and fixing one of my errors. Dmanrulz180 ( talk) 22:00, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi again! I would like to say thank you for helping with my Spotted Eagle Ray! I'm really enjoying the artivle, y help is greatly appreciated! I was also wondering if you can help me with my references and the format. I've been trying for a while on the Spotted eagle ray article. I was hoping to keep the ref name= type format so I can cite the same source multiple times. -- Marissa927 ( talk) 19:56, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you soooooo much! I spent a whole class period on those references. Im so glad you helped! Ill keep the ending slash in mind. Ill go have a look at the page numbers also! Marissa927 ( talk) 02:10, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
I noticed you've decided to offer some bits of help in my efforts to improve Hog Island Sheep. I hope that the project is a success.
There is another article, Hog Island sheep, with a difference in capitalization that actually is slightly differently written. What is the best way to go about removing the duplication while preserving the information content of the article? Der Elbenkoenig ( talk) 04:40, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
I just wanted to say thanks for noticing the Greater Scaup article that I have been working on, and that I really appreciate your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haydenowensrulz ( talk • contribs) 02:03, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I am from the AP Bio Wiki Project. I was wondering if you could help me with something? I noticed you made an edit to the page I am working on (thank you, by the way!) and was hoping you wouldn't mind helping me with something else. I have the first sentence under "Classification/Names" linked to the second reference under "References". However, the first reference listed is the same as the one underneath and is not linked to anything. I would like to delete it, but I am not sure how. Do you know how to do this/is this necessary? Thank you! (LittleCass 05:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlecass ( talk • contribs)

under "References" and I mistakenly deleted it thinking that it was...well I don't really know what I thought it was I just didn't think it was supposed to be there. I am having a little trouble placing it back into that format. (LittleCass 01:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC))The navigation box will indeed be a major time saver. As you guessed, I was bouncing from article to article with multiple tabs, utterly inefficient. I will be certain to share with the students so they can post on their User Page. Again thank you for this as well as your tireless efforts and patience in addressing my students endless list of concerns and pleas for help. I am cautiously optimistic that this year will produce some positive contributions and perhaps a few more dedicated and talented editors for the Wikipedia cause. Time will tell!-- JimmyButler ( talk) 18:58, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I knew it was too good to be true. A topic with mountains of references; yet, still a brief summary. The merger produces a rather large document with little opportunity to develop a portfolio. The students were devastated when they awoke this morning to the merged version. It doesn't help that I strongly recommended it! I did not know enough about terrapins that would lead me to believe that there is only one species. Much less that a full article had been fully developed as a general group rather than at the species level. On the plus side, the Project's efforts drew attention to the dichotomy - which they will add to their portfolio. Cheers -- JimmyButler ( talk) 19:02, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello...again! I have run into a problem on my Spotted eagle ray article. That is, I don't have enough resources/references that are credible enough for even a GA. I am going to join my other group members and focus on the Diamondback terrapin and the Sand tiger shark. I just wanted to let you know so that you won't put effort into helping me with the old article. -- Marissa927 ( talk) 03:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts on our spotted eagle ray article! Marissa927 ( talk) 22:53, 27 October 2011 (UTC) |
Thanks for clarifying that it had been using British spelling previously; I saw the "square kilometers" plus all the other American spelling so I hope you'll understand my edits. By the way, might you want to fix another little stylistic issue: should the name be capitalised, as in some places in the text, or not? — innotata 21:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted to let you know that I have challenged your CSD A7 on Rahman Mostafiz (1979---) and replaced it with a BLPPROD. In my opinion the claim regarding his popular and controversial poem is a sufficient claim of importance to pass criteria A7. Monty 845 14:07, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
After looking over the article I am curious about this move that you performed. Every usage of Wester Quoll in the article has both words capitalized. cheers -- Guerillero | My Talk 05:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I know you meant well by this edit but do check to see if an apparent misspelling you find might be part of a larger vandalism, i.e., this one. TJRC ( talk) 04:17, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
