Why is the article title plural in [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Lentic_ecosystems&diff=238757235&oldid=230552551 this case], when [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]] requires singular titles?  This doesn't clearly fall within one of the exceptions. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 12:18, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

OK.  It looks as if most of the links to that article are from a template.  I've fixed the template accordingly and it may take 24 hours or so for the correction to appear when you click on "what links here".  After that it will be possible to ascertain which links still need to get fixed. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 19:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

== Your removal of my contribution to the article "reef fish" yesterday ==

Re:   Your message to me of today (see below) regarding my contribution to the article "reef fish" which you removed due to alleged copyright violation.

Exactly what do you mean?  Whose copyright did I violate?  That is original material that I wrote and first published in 1994.  I am the sole copyright owner of all the material contributed.

How stupid would it be for me to plagerise a source and then provide active links back to the actual plagerised sources?

If you are in doubt about the source, I suggest you simply use the "contact me" email address on the alleged plagerized source and query me as to whether thhis material has been authorized for contribution to Wikipedia.

Sincerely

::Clairvoyance is not accepted as a valid tool when dealing with Wikipedia copyright issues. Even when you tell us that you are William Alevizon, that still needs to be verified, since from our end, we need to make sure you are not being misrepresented by an impersonator. Even if you verify who you are, it still alters nothing, since both the book and the web site you cited display copyright notices. There has been no formal permission from you to use that text, and without that, leaving the text in place would leave Wikipedia formally in breach of copyright law. Looking at it from another another angle, the text was removed precisely to make sure that your own copyright interests were protected.

::If you want to give Wikipedia permission to directly use content from your book, you should read [[WP:Donating copyrighted materials]]. You will then need to contact [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org] for text for an article on the English Wikipedia, or another English Wikimedia site. Then an [[WP:OTRS]] ticket number will be granted.

::However you should be aware that this will mean that content from your book can also be directly used outside Wikipedia, so you will in effect, release your book into the public domain. It also means that any content from the book can be further changed by Wikipedia editors. In this case, the content you contributed will definitely be changed. I was, as it happens, poised to expand this article anyway. So for now I will, shortly, restore the content and citations you contributed, but the text will be paraphrased so it no longer violates copyright. This means that there is not really much point in you relinquishing your copyright interest.

::It would be great if you would like to participate in the further expansion of the article. I will, in any case, nominate it in a few days time for a joint [[wp:dyk|DYK]], so it appears on the front page of Wikipedia (you will receive credit for that). --[[User:Epipelagic|Epipelagic]] ([[User talk:Epipelagic|talk]]) 21:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

:::Epipelagic - Thanks for the info.  Your point "Clairvoyance is not accepted as a valid tool when dealing with Wikipedia copyright issues" is well taken.  I did not really consider copyright much of an issue in this case as I felt the brief snippets I contributed would be considered "fair use" under international copyright law even if I was not the original author.

:::As for ccontributing further to this project, count me in as this is my field of expertise.

:::As a start, I would like to add 4 or 5 general referrences that would be of use to persons interested in coral reef fishes of specific geographic regions (i.e., Red Sea, South Pacific, Hawaii, etc.),  I also would strongly suggest (if it would not "step on" another article in Wikipedia) that the name of this be changed from "Reeef Fish" to "Coral Reef Fish".  The term "reef fish" is also widely applied (by ichthyologists at least) to temperate rocky reef fishes such as those that inhabit kelp forests.

:::Regards [[User:2ocean7|2ocean7]] ([[User talk:2ocean7|talk]]) 14:43, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

::::Well that's great, you are most warmly welcome. I have started a discussion about renaming the article on its [[Talk:Reef fish|talk page]]. Also, you might like  to have a look at [[Coral reef]]. I am currently rewriting and expanding this article, and it could sure do with another hand, particularly from someone who really knows the subject.

Yes, you are right, the first impression is not very clear, but as you says regarding fisheries and agriculture sector the information is very rich and full of FAO self studies.

Let's do a thing, in the Spanish Wikipedia there's a section called "Country of the week".

== Minnows ==

Hi Epi, I redirected the page in the effort to fix disambiguation links, the page was listed automatically in the list, I did not go looking for it. Second, I created the page for Leuciscinae when I noticed that the majority of Minnows - " True Minnows " belonged to that particular genus. Leuciscinae was already placed as the sub-family under which the true-minnows are included by someone else, I assure you I did not come up with an obscure category just for the page, I just created the already listed page.

Taxonomically they are Cyprinidae, I posted a reference and an external link in case you want to verify, I saw most of the individual pages for true minnows are stubs and decided to point it to the sub-family they are all included in. Your objection has been noted, As per your instructions I will Revert my re-directs back to the page, a word of notice thought- those pages directing to the Minnows page would show up back in the list of disambiguation pages requiring links [http://toolserver.org/~jason/disambig_links.php] and someone else will make similar changes. You can help by re-directing the pages away from the Disambiguation page. I regret any inconvenience in the mean time. Thank you.--[[User:Theo10011|Theo10011]] ([[User talk:Theo10011|talk]]) 00:27, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

== David Starr Re: help at Adi Da ==

Hi Epipelagic, Thanks for your help at Adi Da. I followed your advice and participated in an agreement of no editing without consensus there. In the past week I have spent many hours on the talk page doing something near  100 entries there [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=100&target=David+Starr+1]] in order to make polite, clear and concise statements regarding my concerns over NPOV. Once my concerns were clarified here: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Adi_Da#POV_Tag_Vandalism.3F]] , an argument that took me several hours to put together, Tao2911 went ahead and without consensus made substantial changes to the article [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adi_Da&action=historysubmit&diff=341985364&oldid=341976562]] adding in his summaries that they were per me, but they weren't. I tried a revert [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342000765]] but was undone by Goethean [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342001090]] I felt this meant that our agreement was off and that we were now being bold. I then tried to make edits for more neutral language [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342014592]] , [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342014881]] , [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342015281]] , [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342018524]] , [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342018856]] ,
with a discussion at Talk much like Tao2911 did with his edits, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=prev&oldid=342020927]] .
I was then, or course reverted, accused of vandalism on the talk page with a whole section titled "David Starr vandalism" 
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=prev&oldid=342022761]] 
threatened with being reported to admin [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342023013]]
I plea for consensus [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342024307]] 
other editors agree with me
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342028633]]
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342033730]]
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342030719]]
Tao disagrees 
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=prev&oldid=342033730]]
Tao then says the editors are agreeing with him, that he made the changes for me, and that he can work with people , but he's sick of repeating himself to me, 
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342024748]]
Instead of addressing the issues raised, Tao2911 propagandizes, and generally discusses the subject of the article and continues accusations of vandalism, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=next&oldid=342040908]] 
And then this bit of uncivil commentary 
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Adi_Da&diff=prev&oldid=342046670]]
At this point, after many many hours over the past week of trying to edit the article I am frustrated and feel totally abused. I have yet to be able to make a single edit to the article without invoking an edit war from Tao2911. I feel that Tao2911 is a tenditious  editor who is bullying and taking ownership of the article. He pretends to want consensus at times, but will not allow me to edit. Period. He himself though has basically edited at will over the past week without consensus. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=250&target=Tao2911]] I feel that I am making a good-faith gesture to bring neutrality into some fairly biased additions and have the consensus of other editors. I also feel that I have been as fair as can be expected in the face of insults, threats, and accusations by Tao2911. 

Would you be willing to add your opinion as to our behavior at Adi Da and also any ideas as far as how to resolve our dispute?  
It would be very much appreciated.

== Image at [[Template:Fishing techniques topics]] ==

First off, spare me your arrogance of pretending to know who I might be – you don't; and I don't know the person you're referring to personally. I merely seem to concur with other users who don't think the image is appropriate there.
Secondly, as a precaution, don't act like you're [WP:OWN|owning] the template. I'm not accusing you of it, though reverting edits purely because you like it isn't reasonable.
Thirdly, before you reinstate the image, I ask you to justify its use on the template.

The argument of it not adding much to the template is valid, though other templates use purely illustrative templates as well. Other than that, the image is pretty limited, showing specifically an angler, which is too specific for a broad template on fishing in general. I wouldn't have a problem if it was used on a template just referring to angling (except for the next point…). It may not be an argument that the cartoon image is pretty ugly, but it also  feels very much out of place when compared to the other fishing templates, which use real-life images of fisher(wo)men or fishing vessels. Your image doesn't fit into the subject.

Please partake in discussion before just reverting the edit again. You may want to look for more suited images as well. [[User:Don Cuan|Don Cuan]] ([[User talk:Don Cuan|talk]]) 16:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

== Phosphorous / phosphorus ==

Hi Epipelagic,

you reverted my change to [[coral reef]] on the grounds that I had changed British English to American English, but I don't believe I did.  I have never heard of ''phosphorous'' being a British spelling of ''phosphorus'', and the [[phosphorus]] article doesn't mention it (compare the [[aluminium]], [[caesium]], [[sulfur]] articles, all of which talk about the Brit/Yank differences).  However, ''phosphorous'' is a real word, but it's an adjective rather than a noun, meaning "containing trivalent phosphorus". --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] ([[User talk:Trovatore|talk]]) 19:08, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

== Request for comments on user essay ==
Epipelagic aka Geronimo20 - I’ve just completed drafting my first WP essay in my user space: [[User:Mike Cline/Conquerng the Dilemma-Creating a Better List|Creating A Better List]].  As of yet it is not linked anywhere except through the <nowiki>{{Essay}}</nowiki> template.  My ultimate objective is to move this essay to the project space, but at this point, that is premature without some feedback from fellow editors.

== WP:FN ==

Hi, I don't know whether it's that organised against common sense. The issue was first noticed at WT:MOS, which has recommended the after-punctuation method for some time, in contradiction to FN. I went and changed FN boldly so that it's consistent with the MoS, and met resistance. I think the small superscript argument is strongest, since publications that use the before-punctuation system are invariably (like ''Nature'') those that use normal font, normal position ref tags.

Christopher Parham, bless his heart, seems to have in-built genes against any form of change at all. It's very annoying. He pops up all over the place to resist progress.

==A new article [[Poul Lange]]==
Hi Epipelagic, I wonder, if you have a spare moment, would you look over a new article, a BLP I Just created? This guy is a designer so it's outside your and my areas of expertise, but I do trust your judgement. The refs are a bit of a mess; I am not so good on formatting those. I don't know what else needs fixing, but please let me know if you see anything amiss, or please go ahead and fix things yourself if they are simple and fast to do. I intend to try for a DYK with this so I want to try to make it look decent. Many thanks, [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 20:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Your criticisms are very welcome. I was looking to hear that kind of thing, so thank you. If I can't make a case for him being notable enough then the article is not worthwhile. Many thanks, [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 00:13, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

==Bioeroders etc. on the coral reef article==
I note your rv, which is fine, but a few points. 1. Yes, it needs to be sourced. 2. I think it needs to be reworded, since I work on related subjects and it doesn't even make logical sense to me. 3. It's grammatically incorrect (I think - because as I said, it doesn't logically compute - should be functionS (?). And finally, 4. Does this really need to go in the introductory paragraph? While it may be an important point, the intro generally should only have the most important information about the subject, with details that follow in the body.

== Bassmaster(s) Classic ==

I'm aware of the issue involved. Both article titles existed previously, with the one without the "s" redirecting to the other. When I was covering this year's Classic for my newspaper, I realized that the official style of the title is without the "s," but our article had it with the "s" with the proper title redirecting.  Since I couldn't use the good ol' Move button, I did the manual method, with the intent to go back later and get an admin to fix the edit history. As I am not an admin, I can't do it myself, sorry. I have fixed all the Wikilinks from other articles, except those on talk pages and such. I think the title of the tournament may have originally been with an "s", but when ESPN took over the tournament they may have changed it. - [[User:Realkyhick|Realkyhick]] <small>([[User talk:Realkyhick|Talk to me]])</small> 00:21, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

== External links ==

With respect to the EL at [[Biodiversity]], you've made some (I feel) rather harsh and unjustified claims in your edit summaries and your comments. Simply put, we're not a link farm, and there is '''no obligation to include every link that exists'''. If you feel strongly about a link, by all means make a case for it based on its suitability under the [[WP:EL|external links guideline]]. However, please note that this particular link was added without any explanation whatsoever, by an editor whose only edit was to add said link.  We certainly do not keep ELs in articles simply because someone happens to have posted them; there is no "free pass", and the onus is on editors to justify why a link deserves to be ''included'', not the opposite. --'''[[User:Ckatz|Ckatz]]'''''<small><sup>[[User_talk:Ckatz|<font color="green">chat</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ckatz|<font color="red">spy</font>]]</sub></small>'' 21:30, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Wow Wikipedia is not a place for dishing it out talking about that photo being a beefcake picture of me.  You have no idea who I am so you should not make assumptions.  I do believe it contributes something to the article and I will discuss in the fisherman forum we will let the others decide wether or not it should be in the article because you obvioulsy take a lot of ownership in this page and have an issue with me.  I could construe you as edit warring because you have no grounds to say that I am missrepresenting fisherMAN in the article.

==Could you look at two new contributions?==
Hi Epipelagic. I wonder if you could do me a favor if you are not too busy. There is a brand new user, a scientist who lives in NYC not far from me, and who I am sure will become an excellent editor. His user name is [[User:Enviromet]]. He has written two articles on copper so far. 
* [[Antimicrobial properties of copper]]
* [[Antimicrobial copper touch surfaces]]
He is a fairly good writer, but he is so new that he has not quite got the hang of Wikipedia tone and prose style yet. One of the articles picked up two tags, which it may or may not deserve. You are such a fine writer I was hoping you can take a quick look at his articles and perhaps be able to tell him what needs adjusting in his approach to writing for Wikipedia. I personally find it hard to put into words exactly what is wrong with his articles, because it is not glaringly obvious. Mostly I think he does not quite understand how to write a good lead and also how exactly to write for an encyclopedia. Could you let him know what you think? I already told him I would ask you to comment if you can find the time. I will be away for 3 weeks starting April 14th. Many thanks for anything you can do.

Thank You for your concerns.  I put the picture back up because we already discussed that it is not self promotional.
