Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, nice additions to fern. Cheers! --maveric149
Opps! Looks like there is already a Flood plain article. I like your spelling better (and so does Google). --mav
Suggestion about taxoboxes: Find the closest taxon on the same level or one different that has a taxobox, and copy that. For instance, I copied the hornbill taxobox from bee-eater, since they are both Coraciiformes. -phma
Thanks -- I just keep a taxobox template on my desktop now and copy it out, and have installed it lotsa places. --John Knouse
Jaknouse, please see Talk:Mexico. --Brion 00:04 Sep 1, 2002 (PDT)

- As I say, Brion, say what you mean. I actually did not know what you meant. I try to keep my language precise. And, in any case, if it bothered you on that page so much, you should have then created a blank page for each state and transferred the appropriate info. --user:jaknouse

- Jaknouse, if it bothers you that much, please make that link and make those pages. If you don't, I'll get to them when I get to them, because like everybody else here I am a volunteer.

Jaknouse, I have made an addition to talk:Pol Pot. I understand that you did not add the word again in the sentence of the main article being discussed, but I would welcome your opinion on whether it appears tendentious. If I am not misinterpreting you, you seem to be asserting continuous US support for the KR. If so it would be helpful if you could state the starting date. -- Alan Peakall 18:48 Dec 3, 2002 (UTC)
Please check your user page -- the foto is interfering with some of the information, including your email address.
--jaknouse
- Thanks, but there's no problem with it on my browser unless the text size is set too big for the screen-width, and then some of the text underwrites the picture. I don't consider the text as interesting as the picture anyhow, and the "E-mail this user" link at the bottom of the page will still get e-mail to me, so I'd rather live with the problem than fix it, altho I sincerely appreciate your telling me about it. BTW, when you signed your message to me, you used a pipe instead of a colon for the separator, so it linked to "User" instead of "User:Jaknouse" -- unless you meant to do that. -- isis 22:13 Jan 11, 2003 (UTC)
- Hello, jaknouse. From the above, I'm wondering if you have the same problem I used to have. No one was ever able to tell me how to fix it, and in the end I only got rid of it by changing the "skin" I was using. Have you tried that? --Deb Jan 12
You had some questions of gravitons, I hope to have answered them.
Hello again. Your "skin" is defined on your preference page, and there's a choice of three. Personally, I prefer the "Standard" one, but, like I say, I had to change to "Nostalgia" for a while to resolve the problem with images. I still don't understand what caused it. Deb 21:19 Jan 29, 2003 (UTC)
I added the external link to try and avoid someone having to type out all the details of Apple singles, etc. Seems a bit of a waste of time to me when the information's freely available, complete with pics., etc. Have fun typing it all up!! User:PJT 02:51 Feb 27, 2003 GMT
In reply to:
I was strictly using the existing classificatory information in the individual articles. If you disagree with the classification used, then it's prior authors you want to argue with, not me. I was only inserting taxoboxes for clarity; these are used throughout biological pages on the wikipedia. I was not sure whether fungi used divisions or phyla; the use of divisions is an antiquated approach, actually, relying on the old, erroneous thinking that fungi are plants; we now know they're more closely related to animals.
Ok, sorry. I saw a bunch of articles get filled in really quickly, going past the layer which already existed, and I wasn't sure how far you were intending to go. The alternate classification schemes are indeed a matter for the article authors, so if you aren't going deeper that won't be a problem. One note: you may not want to link Domain, Kingdom, etc on the different taxoboxes. That's the way it's done in most cases, but that's because the ranks used to have independent articles. See WikiProject Tree of Life. My apologies for overreacting. Btw, divisions are still in use for Fungi. Their relationships are irrelevant to that - the whole division/phylum distinction is maintained only for traditional reasons to begin with.

Hi. Please don't change everything to US spellings. AFAIK, the US is the odd one out with "meter"; and Wikipedia uses both anyway. Also, if you want to change the name of a page, use the "move page" function rather than a copy & paste. - Tarquin 22:41 Mar 11, 2003 (UTC)
- Actually, from my point of view, you're a British chauvinist. The fact of the matter is that meter is a much more logical and phonetic spelling than metre. It's time you Brits or wherever you're from caught up with a bit of logic. I'm sure that we could revert to all kinds of ridiculous archaic spellings, but it seems to me that Wikipedia is about objectivity, and meter is the more objective spelling. Not to mention that we should use one standard spelling style, and the precedent was set with American spelling, not British.
--jaknouse
- With all due respect, I think that is an unnecessarily insulting response. People really tend to see comments starting with "you Brits" as provocative, just like when some hothead on this start of the Atlantic starts off with "you Yanks" - it never ever leads to peace, co-operation and harmony. There isn't really a "fact of the matter", just national spelling practice, and I am not sure, either, that such a thing as a "more objective spelling" really exists. The Manual of Style says Spelling style - For the English Wikipedia, either American or English spelling is acceptable. It is in no way a requirement, but it probably reads better to use American spellings in articles on American subjects and English spelling in articles on English subjects. - so if you wanted to change "metre" to "meter" the first thing you'd need to do would be to change that agreement, which I fear would cause many problems. If we all start changing spellings to suit our local preferences then it's going to get very difficult, and whilst you might want to start a campaign to standardize Wikipedia on US spellling only, I think you would find limited support for this. I honestly think it would have been wiser to not change the spelling in the first place, and to not come back with these rather strong comments in the second. If you are unreasonable and make these remarks you will find that it does bring out of the woodwork stupid British people who think they own the language, that America is inherently inferior because it is newer, etc, and all they contribute is trouble too, and then we have a transatlantic flame war, which is to be avoided at all costs. :) Nevilley 07:21 Mar 12, 2003 (UTC)
- For the sake of completeness I should add in case it is not clear above that I would be just as disapproving of someone who gratuitously changes "color" to "colour" on the grounds that it is "right" or "better" - we just don't do that. Nevilley
- That was meant to come across as tongue-in-cheek. Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor? You'll find that I HAVEN'T changed the spellings on most pages I've worked on, first of all, and when I changed the spellings on the meter page, there was actually a mix of spellings on the page, and there was no distinguishing between the two spellings. When I changed the spellings, I added (British spelling: metre), and the same for kilometer, which kind of distinguishing nobody had bothered to do earlier. I am, however, fairly serious about using logical spellings, and I frequently use lite and nite and such in my own correspondence rather than the ridiculously-archair light and night.
- --jaknouse
- thanks for that. There is a real problem with detecting irony online sometimes, and I couldn't see your tongue in your cheek! I do have a sense of humo[u]r (delete as optional) but lots of people on here are so - erm - direct at times that it is difficult to know when it is safe to deploy it. No hard feelings. Nevilley 17:07 Mar 12, 2003 (UTC)
-
- Since I can't edit Tarquin's page since it's too large, I'll add another comment here. Yes, metre originated with the French, but, then, they pronounce it "metre". The English do not pronounce it "metre", but rather "meter". In consideration of this, then we should properly use the French pronunciation all the time, not the English pronunciation.

[edit] Maidenhair
Great work on maidenhair, both on the article and the picture. You may've noticed I jumped in there and formatted your picture with the new image markup, and moved it into the table. I hope that's alright with you. :) Hadal 04:36, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Table Formatting
Moved in from Talk:Marshman:
I have a lot of problem viewing tables. Some of them, seemingly at random, appear on the left, overlying the text, rather than the right. The element I deleted was an attempt to see if that would correct the problem. When I deleted it, I could see no difference whatsoever in the table in my browser. If you have any ideas, please let me know. jaknouse 17:53, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- The element you removed just spaces the table away from the text on the (in that case) left side. It does make the "table" slightly wider overall. I gather you are saying that did not solve the problem on your browser. Usually what you describe results from there not being enough space (pixel width) to accomodate the instructions the browser is getting to set up the page. That would depend upon your screen resolution settings. I should think a minimum would be 800 pixels across for most of the pages on Wikipedia. I have two monitors, one set at 800, so I can test pages to see if they "fit" . That page Flowering_plant seems fine (the photo is much wider than the table and still does not fill all the width). When I artificially squeeze it down by narrowing the window, the bee on asteraceae photo starts overlapping text at around 600 pixel width. - Marshman 18:03, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- If the above does not seem to pertain to your problem, consider next your browser: what is it? If an unusual one, it may be interpreting some poorly written HTML as it should, but causing formatting problems. Some browsers are more forgiving of bad HTML than are others - Marshman 18:26, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] UU orgs
Jack, the UUSC isn't an IA. Its tie is stronger than that; it's an Associate Member of the UUA. I've modified both the UU and UUA articles, and added the list of 3 UU AM orgs. Are you a UU too? :) - UtherSRG 20:02, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Yup. For thirteen or so years. Thanks for your work on this.jaknouse 00:39, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Cool! I've been a UU for nearly as long, just over a decade. Do you go to GA at all? I've been to 6 of them since '96 (Indianapolis), and I'll be at Long Beach! - UtherSRG 13:59, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Domestic water...
Thanks for the starting paragraph. You are fast! Pfortuny 17:48, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Tracheobionta
All right, what do you have against the domain and subkingdom -- especially subkingdom -- that you removed them from the fern page? The specific division into vascular plants is one that's been used for many years at differring levels. Now wait, you're doing this on all the pages. Are you trying to force the ranked system to be LESS useful so you can force its abandonment, or what? I very much disagree with your approach. jaknouse 00:21, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
No, I like
ranked taxa. However, although the vascular plants are widely recognized, the subkingdom Tracheobionta is not. Many classification systems present alternates, one of which (subkingdom Embryophyta) seems to be about as common. I have always argued against giving such groups in the taxobox. It adds very little - anyone who knows what a vascular plant is will understand that roses belong simply because they are flowers, and anyone who doesn't wont care - at the expense of making them less reliable and more mutable, which for something copied in so many places can be serious. The same sort of comments apply to the domains, which are less certain than people seem to think, and contribute almost nothing to everything but the kingdom pages. Josh

[edit] Masturbation
I wanted to mention it here in case you don't check that talk page: Thank you for your recent work on masturbation. Your compromise passage is bigger than what came before it, but just right. You should be swollen with pride at being able to take different viewpoints and make them come together like that so quickly. It's hard to do. I hope you don't mind my effusive strokes. Moncrief 04:02, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Taxoboxes
Hard to follow that (no pun intended)! Not sure why you are removing links in the taxoboxes to the definitions of the taxa (as at Araceae)? I think it is more appropriate and easier to be consistent to keep those links there and not rely on the same terms appearing in the text where there are usually already plenty of other links to other things and only some of the classification is presented. In other words, the taxobox is perfect for linking to things like Kingdom (biology) and is one of the purposes that it serves - Marshman 22:08, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I just updated some taxoboxes you added, such as Water lilly. Please take a look at the diffs. - UtherSRG 17:39, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Garden maple
Hi John, just saw your improvements on this. I was a little concerned though at the final sentence on the page (not yours!) below the pics, it looked suspiciously like a clip out of a nursery catalog. On googling, sure enough it is, from http://www.dungevalley.co.uk/tr&shcat.htm, and therefore presumably copyvio. As it is only a small part of the article, I'm not sure best how to proceed. Any thoughts? - MPF 15:38, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Articles/subjects that we are discussing the organization/hierarchy of include Hubbert Peak, Energy development, Sustainability, Future energy development, Alternatives to oil. It occurred to me that you might have some fresh ideas about how to go about organizing a rational hierarchy, whether it be a project, a system of categories, a series, or simply an informal vision.

[edit] Waterfall or Waterfalls?
Hi, from Brisbane, Australia.
I noticed that, as far as I can tell, you started the article waterfall. A sentence in the article Triple Border currently reads "The Triple Frontier (Spanish: Hito Tres Fronteras, English: Three Borders Landmark, Portuguese: Tríplice Fronteira) is the tri-border area along the junction of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil near the cities of Ciudad del Este, Alto Paraná; Puerto Iguazú, Misiones and Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná respectively and is the location of the Iguazu Falls, largest waterfalls in the world, and the Itaipu, the largest hydroelectric plant in the world."
The second-last clause doesn't make sense to me - see: Talk:Triple_Frontier.
I'd really appreciate your assistance senior wikipedian help with this! --Shirt58 12:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
