Not being a botanist, I may be confused, but your new article appears to be about a species of Laelia that does not appear on the list at that page. There is a Schomburgkia crispa which appears to be an alternate name of the Laelia gloriosa, and a cattleya crispa which is labeled as an incorrect nomenclature. From what I can gather, it appears that you were attempting to create an article about the Laelia gloriosa, but that article already exists. Can you help me help you by indicating what it was you were trying to do? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:36, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your additions to article request have inappropriate capitals. Can you please fix this. Also some are already discussed and would be best as redirects. [1] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:09, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I've noticed another account editing similar pages that you've edited recently, is Wwm1012 (talk · contribs) a second account of your's? If you've decided to switch, that's fine, but typically it's just one editor, one account. See Wikipedia:Sock puppetry for explanations on multiple accounts. I'll block whichever one you don't plan to use. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 00:39, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Please be careful with edits like this. I agree the name should be bold per WP:MOSBOLD, but you removed the italics, which are required for taxa at the genus level and below. If you want to bold a taxon term in the lead (with the understanding of the guidelines laid out at WP:MOSBOLD), then you can do this: '''''Genus species'''''. Also note that bolding an abbreviation like you did at the Boswellia sacra article is unnecessary. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 15:42, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I notice you have moved the articles Papaya and Sweet Chestnut. I wonder if you have read the policy at WP:COMMONNAMES. Please don't move any other long standing articles like this without discussing on the talk page first. e.g. pea, parsnip, apple, apricot, potato. William Avery (talk) 15:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the Sweet Chestnut move was justified per WP:NC (flora). The ambiguity of the several common names leads to the only logical conclusion of moving the article to the scientific name. The Papaya move, however, might have to be reverted. We can always split off the botanical information into a separate article. Rkitko ^(talk) 16:39, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've reverted the links that you put into the Acer saccharinum article for Freeman maple. If you were planning to make a new article and hadn't got around to it, then I apologize. As it was, these were circular links via redirects. Nadiatalent (talk) 14:10, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wwm101, please do not remove the WP:WINE tag & assessment from wine-related articles, as you did here. Using a parameter for the WPFood template treats the project as a working group of WPFood, which it isn't, and means that no WPWine-specific importance is assessed. I hadn't seen the parameter used in a while, we actually should get rid of it. Tomas e (talk) 14:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from removing the tags of other WikiProjects from article talk pages. I see you are attempting, essentially, to merge other WikiProjects into Food and Drink. Spirits and Wine are not sub-projects of Food and Drink (in fact, in many cases, the Food and Drink project tag was placed after Wine or Spirits). Those projects have different standards, and need not conform to the standards for Food and Drink. Removing the other project tag destroys that project's ability to monitor the project's assessment. For example, what may be high importance to Wine may be low importance to Food and Drink, and vice versa. Thank you. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:54, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have stopped changing them after the above message. Wwm101 18:57, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I think there was a discussion a long time ago about removing those qualifiers from the Food and Drink tag, but I guess they're still operational. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:02, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion has begun about whether the article List of families, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of families until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.Andy Dingley (talk) 19:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm attempting to revive the Plant article COTM, and since you're a member of WikiProject Plants, you're being notified about this hopeful revival. Please feel free to propose articles for collaboration, and thanks for your consideration! Northamerica1000^(talk) 13:53, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 01:42, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Long-distance trails in the United States, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peoria (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hi there Wwm101! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?

If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?

First off, go here and add {{Tick}} (Y) next to your name if you're still part of the project.

Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.

You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This list has very few genera, and so is clearly very incomplete. If it is meant to be an exhaustive list of genera, it might be too long for a Wikipedia article. An exhaustive list of orders or even of families might be feasible.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:List of Plant Genera and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:List of Plant Genera, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
• You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Wwm101! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 00:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Wwm101. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of plant genera".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 21:44, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
