[edit] Pathfinder (1987 film)

Thank you for tagging this article for deletion. However, have you ever considered merging a page? One of the reasons we would merge a page would be if there are two or more articles on exactly the same subject, such as Pathfinder (1987 film) and The Pathfinder.

Sorry, i am writing for Wikipedia since July but i am still not familiar with the functions of Wikipedia. Melly42 17:57, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Nils Gaup, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Frank De Vol

Hi! Without more information than what you have about this individual, it's a speedy deletion candidate. That's why it was deleted in the first place. All we have at present is an opening statement. What shows did he write for? What was his personal history? Any awards?

Remember: A good stub should have at least three good, solid, informative sentences. - Lucky 6.9 01:57, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Respectfully disagree. These are not organic; they depend on those writing them to make them grow. I have no way of knowing what your intents are for an article's future. It looks great now, by the way. - Lucky 6.9 08:35, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Flora and Fauna of Mauritius

Hi Melanie,

Thanks for your kind words! At the moment I am finishing my doctoral thesis, so I do not have that much time... In a few months, I will be back online with some more time to spare, then we can work something out!

Have you been to Mauritius?

Best, Dennis

Hello Dennis,

i've never been to Mauritius, but i'm interested in the fauna, flora, landscapes, forests, and geology of Mauritius.

By the way I've found four interesting books about the flora of Mauritius so far:

France Staub "Fauna of Mauritius and associated flora" (this book is unfortunately not available in Europe)

BAKER, John Gilbert: "Flora of mauritius and the Seychelles". 1877. (Reprint 1970, Hist.Nat.Class., 75). XXIV,L,588 p. gr8vo. Cloth. (ISBN 3-7682-0677-7)

Gurib - Fakim, Ameenah: An Illustrated Guide to the Flora of mauritius and the Indian Ocean Islands. 2003. 431 col. photographs. XIV, 206 p. Paper bd. (i've tried to order this book from an international bookstore in Germany. I will knowing more in about four weeks).
