Tables

Nice to see you again at lunch. By the way, this is the link I've used for converting spreadsheets to wikitables. Probably there are others, but it's the one I'm used to. I found it at Help:Table#Converting spreadsheet to wikitable format, which has a couple others I haven't used. Cheers. Phil wink (talk) 23:49, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Zarudny's Sparrow

Hi, The IOC have Zarudny's Sparrow (Passer zarudny), and they note that it is a recent split from Desert Sparrow (Passer simplex). I do not know how this split has been received. "Zarudny's Sparrow" is a redirect on the Wiki, but I wonder if this taxa is worth a mention in a Wiki article Snowman (talk) 12:08, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think Raul established that the IOC World Bird List is rather hasty to adopt taxonomic changes, since they're a nomenclatural rather than a taxonomic organization. It definitely is mentioned in the article by that name; Passer zarudny is a misspelling for Passer zarudnyi. I understand we tend to wait for some taxonomic authorities to adopt a change first, and I don't think any have classified them as a separate species, but the case is very strong in this case, because P. s. zarudnyi was shown to be so different by Kirwan et al. (they might not even be the closest relatives of the African subspecies). —innotata 17:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I though that you would know more about it. I did not know about the miss-spelling. I have found mentioned in the Desert Sparrow article now. Snowman (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Indische Legion, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Battle of El Alamein and Oberhofen (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.

White band disease

Innotata, I noticed that you added some text to this article late last month. At the moment, it has been nominated for the Did You Know (DYK) feature of Wikipedia's main page, but it hasn't reached the required expansion: it needs another 252 prose characters, and that's after your recent addition; it was nearly 500 characters short before then.

Are you interested in expanding it further? The original expander/nominator hasn't edited on Wikipedia for over five weeks, so I doubt he or she will be back. If there is no further expansion, we'll have to close the nomination as unsuccessful, which seems a shame. Please let me know what you think. The nomination template is at Template:Did you know nominations/White band disease, but you can let me know here if you'd rather. Thank you for your consideration. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:12, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to get around to doing much with the article for a bit, and it has some issues with accuracy and clarity that I mentioned on the talk page, so I'd rather have it not be a DYK now that the nominator has stopped contributing. —innotata 21:17, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for letting me know. Given that issues of accuracy and clarity remain, you're right that it shouldn't run on DYK. Best of luck fixing the article when you get the chance. The only future opportunity for this article to run under DYK is if it should be nominated for and pass as a Good Article; once that happens, a new DYK nomination will have to be submitted within five days.

Great American Wiknic 2014 - Minnesota

I'd like to invite you to add a Minnesota event for the Great American Wiknic. This year we're aiming to coalesce nationally around July 6, but any date that is convenient to your local community works as well. And don't be shy about putting something preliminary on the national Wiknic page, it all helps!--Pharos (talk) 16:30, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like consensus on the talk page is toward Como and July 6. Can you add the right information to Wikipedia:Meetup/Minnesota#2014 so we can publicize more widely?--Pharos (talk) 21:27, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Indische Legion may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • war demobilisation show that the strategy of ''Azad Hind'', which began with the Free India Legio,) of achieving independence from Britain by fomenting revolts and unrest was something of a success.
