Hey there. I recently stumbled across an issue ofNova Hedwigia Beheift titled "the genera of fungi" (or was it agaricaceae?). It's filled to the brink with mind-numbing nomenclatural discussions of all the genera ever described (I think, anyway). Would it be any use if I looked up the specific ref or any specific genera?Circeus00:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
LOTS of "per" in citation here. See[1]

A first incarnation fromTentamen dispositionis methodicae Fungorum 65. 1797 is cited as devalidated: "Introduced to cover three groups already previously distinguished by Persoon (in [...] Tent. 18. 1797) underAgaricus L., but at that time not named. It is worth stressing that [The species now known asAmanita caesarea] was not mentioned."
Donk concludes the earliest valid type isA. muscaria, the species in Hooker, adding that he'd personally favorA. citrina.

LOL, I love your sense of humour. Maimonedes is a good reference. The reality is that Islam takes food restrictions from Judaism; and Christianity doesn't have any restriction (courtesy of three references in the New Testament). The reason why pork should be restricted (along with many other things) is not given explicitly in the Hebrew Bible, hence Bible commentators have been offering guesses since ancient times. My own favourite, however, isMary Douglas, wife ofLouis Leakey, daughter of aLutheran pastor. Her theory is excellent, based on her cultural anthropological observations, with a decent feel for how Biblical text works. It's rather an abstract theory though.Anyway, I'll see if I can manage a literature review of dietry restrictions in the ANE, especially if there's anything explicit about pork. Don't think I'll find a reference for "why" the pork taboo is in place, though, if it's documented, I'd have read about that in commentaries.Perhaps a clay tablet with the answer has been destroyed in only the last few years during the "troubles" in Iraq. :(Alastair Haines (talk)21:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Spotted this. I'll look for a ref to theMaimonides comment. The normal teaching is that pork is no more or less offensive to Jews than any other forbidden meat (dog, horse etc) or forbidden part of kosher animal (blood,Gid Hanasheh etc). The pig (NB pig, not pork – an important distinction which is relevant for the Maimonides comment too, I note) is "singled out" because it alone of the animals that have one of the two "signs" (it has split hooves but doesn't chew the cud) lies down with its legs sticking out. Most quarapeds have their legs folded under them. There's amidrashic lesson to be learned there, apparently, that the pig is immodestly and falsely proclaiming its religious cleanliness, when it is not. Anyway, that said, I'll look into the M comment – he was quite ahead of his time in terms of medical knowledge (check his biog). And NB my OR/POV antennae buzzed when I read that little section. --Dweller (talk)22:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Have found good stuff, including online version of Maimonides text. I'll dump it here for you to use as you wish.
So, Maimonides argues "pork contains more moisture than necessary [for human food], and too much of superfluous matter", whatever that means! More importantly, the "principal reason" is that if you keep pigs, you end up with a dirty and unhealthy environment. Important note: Maimonides was writing from Islamic Egypt at the time, which is why he mentions "as may be seen at present in the country of the Franks." (ie France) The comments about the pig's habit of lying with its legs outstretched come fromMidrash Vayikra Rabba (ch 13) where it is mentioned as part of an elaborate metaphor, but not in connection with any reason for particularly abhorring the creature. Hope that helps. --Dweller (talk)09:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply] References
 You know what I don't get? On page 245 of George (1981), and again on page 40 of Collins (2007), George gives a diagram showing the arrangement of unit inflorescences on aBanksia flower spike. Both diagrams clearly show a hexagonal layout; i.e. every common bract is surrounded by six equidistant common bracts, thus forming little hexagons. In support of this, George (1981) states "The unit inflorescences are so arranged on the axis that there are three pattern lines—vertical, and both dextral and sinistral spiral." I haven't dissected an inflorescence, but in some species the pattern persists right through flowering and can be seen on the infructescence. You won't get a better example than thisB. menziesii cone. Look at that pattern. There's no way you could call it hexagonal. It is a rectangular (or rather diamond, since the lines are diagonal) grid. Depending on how you define a neighbourhood, you could argue that each common bract has 4 or 8 neighbours, but there's no way you could argue for 6. Similarly, you could argue for two pattern lines (dextral and sinistral spiral) or four (dextral, sinistral, vertical and horizontal), but there is no way you could argue for 3, because there is no reason to include vertical whilst excluding horizontal). On top of that there is a beautiful symmetry in the way each common bract is surrounded by its own floral bracts and those of its neighbours. But George's diagrams destroy that symmetry. I thought maybeB. menziesii was an exception to a general rule, but you can see the same diamond grid, though not as clearly, inFile:Banksia serrata4.jpg, and I reckon (but am not certain) I can see it in myB. attenuata cone. And inFile:Banksia prionotes mature cone.jpg too. What the heck is going on? (I'm not just being a pretentious wanker here. I thought the diagram was interesting and informative enough for me to whip up an SVG version for Wikipedia. But since copying George's diagram isn't really on, and it is much better to go straight from nature if possible, I was basing my version on thisB. menziesii cone. But it isn't going to work if the diagram shows a rectangular grid and the text has to say it is hexagonal.) Hesperian13:28, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  I note that the last six images to be posted on your talk page were posted by me. I'm not sure whether to apologise.... What is going on in the lower image? Clearly this is an inflorescence in very early bud, but those furry white things are apparently not developing flower pairs. Are they some kind of protective bract or something? Hesperian01:24, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In very young spikes like the one pictured here, they are not yet very densely packed together, so they can be perceived as individual peduncles. Given time, they will continue to grow, and as they do so they will become more and more densely packed together, until eventually they are jammed together so tightly that their dense coverings of hairs form the fibrous brown material that comprises a typical flower spike, and the common bracts at their apex will form the bract pattern on the surface of the spike. At that point, they will no longer be distinguishable as individual peduncles, but will simply be part of the spike. When the flowers start to develop, they get squeezed together even more. At this point, sometimes, a peduncle may break off the axis and be squeezed right out of the spike as the flowers around it develop. Thus you may see one or two of these furry things sitting at random positions on the surface of a developed flower spike. As evidence for this hypothesis I offer the following observations:
Hesperian05:58, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not OR any more. Look at the picture of "Banksia flower bud seen in profile"here: clear evidence of the common and floral bracts forming one of those little furry upside-down pyramids, with the flower arising from it.Hesperian03:38, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  While I was out a-walking in the bush one day last week, I spied a banksia with an unfamiliar jizz. Even on closer inspection I was bamboozled for half a minute until the pieces fell together and I realised I was looking at aB. menziesii with persistent florets. Not just a bit late to fall: there were old cones from previous seasons with the florets still bolted on. In fact, there wasn't a single bald cone on the whole tree. I've never seen anything like it. Have you?Hesperian04:42, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I finally made it to the library and got a hold ofthe article you had asked about a couple of weeks ago. There's enough info there to make DYK-worthy stubs on the genus, and three of the species (macrocarpus,katerinae,toomanis), or, alternatively, maybe enough for a GA on the genus. What are the chances of images? Apparently these fungi make small but visible apothecia on the seed capsules. Berkeley and Broome first wrote about the fungus in 1887, so maybe there's a sketch from the protologue that's useable. Anyway, I'll start adding text in a day or two and maybe we can have the first Banksia/Fungi wikiproject collaboration?Sasata (talk)14:25, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From Collins, Collins and George (2008), page 47, first paragraph of a section entitled "Fungi and lichens": "Many kinds of fungi are associated with Banksias. There is even a genus of fungi named for their association with these plants—Banksiamyces. The first species of these was recognised in the 1880s and placed in the genusTympanis, then in the 1950s transferred to the genusEncoelia. Further collections and research led to the description of the genusBanksiamyces by Beaton and Weste in 1982, with two further species. Six taxa are now recognised, so far known from 13 species ofBanksia (Sommerville & May, 2006). Commonly known as banksia discs, they have all been found on eastern Australian Banksias and one is also known in Western Australia. They are discomycete fungi, growing on the fruit and appearing as small, shallow dark cups on the follicles (Fuhrer, 2005). When dry they fold inwards and look like narrow slits. Their effect is unk[n]own but it seems unlikely that they are responsible for degradation of the seeds." At the bottom of the page there is a photo ofBanksiamyces onB. lemanniana. They look like little light grey maggots on the follicles. Based on the photo and textual description, I would suggest that theB. violacea photo doesn't show this genus.Hesperian11:17, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neophema99 (talk)07:58, 19 February 2014 (UTC) Hi. I would like to open for discussion the format of the entry for 'Orange-bellied Parrot'. As news occurs in the recovery program for this species, the limitations of the current format of the Wikipedia entry become more obvious.The heading, 'Conservation Status' should, I believe, be reserved for the actual conservation status in Australia, and in the three states, SA, Tasmania and Victoria. What follows after that, but still under that heading, at present, is a running commentary of events since about 2010.This is not acceptable.I propose another heading be inserted, 'Recovery Program' or similar. In it, a short history of the OBP recovery program could be given – since 1980 or so – and then, new events could be smoothly inserted as they happen.What do others think? The Wikipedia entry is an important first port of call for many people interested in this bird. We owe it to them, and to history, to provide a better entry.[reply] Neophema99 (talk)07:58, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thecarcinoma in situ page has been updated and it explains the different views that sometimes carcinoma in situ is seen as a cancer and sometimes it is not. You will probably remember earlier this year that you supported changing my use of the term "invasive cancer" to "cancer". The expression "invasive cancer" is used frequently in books particularly when talking about cancer of the cervix and in my opinion using the term "invasive cancer" can improve clarity. What do you think of the explanations in the carcinoma in situ article?Snowman (talk)13:13, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've been trying to improve the Digital media use and mental health article (hopefully to featured status if possible), initially by just tracking down systematic reviews and meta-analyses that find associations between the various problematic digital media use categories and recognized mental health disorders by the DSM and ICD and other human factors issues associated with problematic digital media use. Unfortunately, I am not a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist so all I can do is look things up using Google Scholar and often do not have access to entire articles. Another editor has raised issues with the article's layout at its talk page, if you have the time to comment on it. Thanks! --CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk)01:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear administrator. Can you please take a look into the edit history of these Karnataka dynasty pages
1)Chalukya_dynasty2)Western_Chalukya_Empire3)Kadamba_dynasty4)Pallava_dynasty5)Hoysala_Kingdom6)Kalachuris_of_Kalyani
They have been continously getting vandalised by a Maratha caste IP looking to promote his caste. Please take a look at his edit historyhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2409:408C:ADB5:3805:E56B:A989:87F5:F563
I think similar edits were made by the same person in theRashtrakutas dynasty page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rashtrakutas&action=history) which made you protect the page for a period of 3 months about 4 days back. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rashtrakutas&diff=prev&oldid=1247580284)
Kindly do the same for the other dynasty pages he is targetting as well. He is using old British period sources which according to WP:RAJ is unreliable (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_172#Are_British_Raj_ethnographers_unreliable.3F.)
The same account seems to be adding those dynasties to promote his caste here as wellList_of_Maratha dynasties_and_states. Please look into it (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Maratha_dynasties_and_states&action=history).

Casliber, it looks like things are busy where you are, but in case you have any time, might you be able to promote any DYK preps to queues?

Hi Casliber, I am wondering if you would have some time (not urgently) to be a mentor/provide some specific advice regarding theGeologic Time Scale article I've helped significantly revise over the past couple of years. It is currently rated as B-class, but I believe it to be much improved since that assessment. I have requested an independent assessment of it onWikiproject Geology as I think it may be of A-class now. Additionally I am considering either aGAN orFAC listing, but would appreciate advice from a more experienced editor. Thanks for your time.Jarred C Lloyd (talk)02:04, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there - I am prepping a FAC run forMario Andretti, the American race car driver. As a first-time FAC nominator, I understand that I'm strongly encouraged to find a mentor for the FA process. I saw on the FA website that you advise on sports, so I was hoping you could give me some tips on how to improve the article. I'd appreciate any guidance you can give. I've opened a peer review page atWikipedia:Peer review/Mario Andretti/archive1.
I should note that a separate editor has standardized the ledes for most Formula One drivers (including Andretti) and polices them thereafter, so while I'm happy to implement your comments on the lede, it may take a little more interpersonal smoothing first to make sure everyone's on the same page.
If you have someone else in mind for this, feel free to send them my way too! Either way, thank you for your consideration.Namelessposter (talk)21:22, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Casliber. I've been working on theMetrosideros bartlettii article for almost 3 months now... intend to bring this article to FAC soon, I'm nervous but also excited to seeing where this article would go in the future. Would this article be of interest to you to mentor it? By the way, it's all good if you would prefer not to mentor it or you would prefer to focus on other articles at present. :-)Alexeyevitch(talk)01:21, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receivetournament points at the end of each round. Unlike theround points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers.This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.
Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:
Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4featured articles and 4good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2In the News articles primarily about athletes.Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.The full scores for round 1 can be seenhere. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it onWikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

WAID provided some nice sources on the talk page and I've been slowly working my way through those to replace sources. So far I've gotten through the causes and treatment sections. However I'm kind of in a rut with the rest of the article. I was thinking of moving on to the diagnosis section.

Hail. I wanted to nominateMarch 2025 Venezuelan deportations for DYK, but I've been dealing with health issues (which would have been manageable if I wasn't also horrible at time management) and expanding the article has taken more than seven days. I'm not very familiar with DYK, having only nominated one article (which failed hilariously, I'd misread the instructions), and wanted to ask if it makes sense to nominate and ask for the seven-day limit to be stretched by a day or two, or if it's too late. If there's time, I'd also like to ask if the article is in any shape to nominate, what changes should be made to it, and if "...theMarch 2025 Venezuelan deportations were only the fourth time theAlien Enemies Act was invoked in U.S. history, and the first use of the wartime authority in peacetime?" would be a passable hook.
By my count, the article has been expanded fivefoldsince here. I'll also bother BorgQueen about this.--Kizor20:00, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receivetournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round.This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.
Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

I'm not looking to edit theCordyline australis section on taxonomy and nomenclature, and couldn't find a place in that article's talk section just to leave a comment (which probably speaks to my unfamiliarity with Wikipedia's inner workings). I found your name in its talk pages and from your extensive credits I figure you'll know whether this is worth passing on and, if so, to whom.
I just wanted to suggest thatthis article, by James Beever of Auckland, from the September 1981Wellington Botanical Society Bulletin, has a convincing explanation of "cabbage tree": namely that the sword-shaped clusters of leaves look palm-like and it was named when "cabbage" was used for many palms.

Hi Casliber,
I'm conducting an FAC source review for2015 Trophée Éric Bompard and noticed some other issues like DUEWEIGHT with the November 2015 attacks and the heavy reliance on non-independent, primary sources for the competition itself. Given that you're experienced in both FAC and sports, I would like to ask for your comments on this matter.Icepinner02:19, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for your share and nomination ofRed-billed quelea, introduced (in 2017) as "about the most populous non-cultivated bird in the world. Newcomer Dwergenpaartje has done most of the heavy lifting in this one, but many folks of the bird wikiproject have had a look. It got a detailed going over at GAN and I think has buffed up quite nicely and is within striking distance of FA-hood."! - I broughtLuciano Berio to the same page. --Gerda Arendt (talk)06:41, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I remember a singer who impressed me on stage. - Repeating: you are invited toa peer review after FAC, - in a poll, you could simply mark yes or no for the four open questions. It's an experiment. The piece has its 300th anniversary on Christmas Day, and should be as good as possible by then. --Gerda Arendt (talk)21:04, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have three biographies on the main page today, missa fourth one, nominated a fifth, that means little time for other matters. If you have ten minutes, you might take a look at the four questions open from my last FAC (see above), and if you have only five minutes, question 3 about a book source would interest me most. My places now includeLa Scala, - see music, Verdi three times, and twice inmy story! --Gerda Arendt (talk)16:26, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
