| Greetings Spawn Man! I've noticed that you have again removed the italics from '']'' (nice article :o). Now it is of course debatable whether in non-scientific publications one should apply the rule that all genus names are written in italics; but don't you agree that for an encyclopedia, being by nature a more formal medium of communication, it best to conform to the scientific standard? ~:o\--] 07:22, 2 November 2005 (UTC) | |||
| {{mbox | |||
| :It could be discussed at length, a discussion I've had many times. The italics are not needed, as the italics are used to describe the scientific name, of which, the tree of life project says we don't need to refer to after the immediate introduction. It would be possible to leave the italics on all the way through, but the project guidelines suggests that only one italic name is needed. EG: ''Amosaurus blahblahis'', meaning "sand lizard", is a dinosaur. Ammosaurus eats food. Ammosaurus likes rocks. | |||

| ::Yes, but the question is not whether it is ''needed'', but whether it should be preferable for an ''encyclopedia'' to do it anyway, just as most scientific literature in fact does.

| ==Re: Freinds== | |||
| Ummm....Alright the first thing that I want to say is that I don't think that you can ever be friends from talking over the internet. I hope you don't take this offensively, but I don't ever want to meet a person that I talk to over the internet, because in my opinion that person can be lying to me about his gender, age, or anything. So I am going to say I don't want to be friends in the nicest way possible, because I think it's sort of strange. I'll help you out on wikipedia and I hope you'll do the same, but friends is a little to deep for internet, so no. {{User:Rentastrawberry/Signature}} 23:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC) | |||

| == Personal attacks and other nasty things == | |||
| I've cautioned ] against making personal attacks; he seems to regret his actions (he offered an apology, of sorts, above, if I'm not mistaken). | |||
| As far as your other point, there isn't, to the best of my knowledge, a blanket policy against removing comments from your user talk page. Certainly, ''changing'' another user's comments qualifies as ], removing comments without responding to them is ], and removing certain official warnings (vandalism templates and so forth) is evidence of bad faith, but there's no complete ban. Obviously, ''selectively'' removing criticism is in poor taste, at best, but isn't necessarily a policy violation. | |||
| I'll offer this piece of (unasked-for, but hopefully not completely unwelcome) advice: ] has apoligized and seems to want to let this matter drop. It's not worth your time, in my opinion, to pursue this (somewhat overblown, actually) incident further; if he wishes to remove your comments, it's a reflection on his character, not yours. I think that it would be a very noble gesture on your part to let the matter rest withoug further comment. | |||
| Hopefully this whole incident hasn't ruined your usual good cheer too much, though! If you're bored and looking for something to do, you can always comment on the ] ;-) | |||

I just wanted to point out to him that some people might find this behaviour unacceptable. I didn't find it all too bad, it's like water off a duck's back with me. It was only when he deleted my posts, as you said above, that I left a couple of messages. After that it kinda snowballed I guess. I know how he feels though. So I'm not annoyed, angry or vindictive in anyway: Just curious. Where did he get that Christians give 77 chances? *Laughs Merrily*....

For more information about Glen Rose, Texas hoax (aka Glen Rose man) see here (, and ). In case you don't know, creationist believe man existed during the time of the dinosaurs (like the Flinstones). Supposedly there was a 70 million year old giant human footprint that "proved" man existed with the dinosaurs. However, it's been refuted by evolutionists and even most creationists now.

Hi everyone, this is my talk page. Don't come to this talk page looking for a confrontation. When I argue, I argue for a long time & don't usually back down - it's in my fight or flight nature. If you have a heated discussion you'd love to have with me, I suggest you wait a day or two before posting here & rephrase any inflammatory remarks you may make for both of our sakes. I don't like fighting & I'm sure you don't either. Thank you...

Hello again!
Hi, Spawn Man;
Good to hear from you! It's been pretty quiet for a long time. Cas is trying to get the collaboration back going, and I'd like to see it work out (even if I would have rather done Apatosaurus - I scanned Berman&McIntosh 1978 from the library assuming it would be next, and also because periodically an editor drops by to accuse Marsh of perpetrating a hoax regarding Brontosaurus). I'm glad to hear that your degree is coming along! J. Spencer (talk) 03:54, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages 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) 00:46, 17 April 2012 (UTC) |

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:5th Edition Bretonnian Bowman.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
