Disambiguation link notification for April 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Africallagma sapphirinum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dorsal (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.

Alandmanson/draft article on SOM

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Alandmanson/draft article on SOM, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Soil organic matter. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:23, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Alandmanson/notes on humus

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Alandmanson/notes on humus. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Humus. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Humus – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:49, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Soil organic matter

Improving article content related to SOC and SOM is an area of interest for me. This is an area of understanding that is going through a massive paradigm shift as researchers work to validate assumptions on humification. I don't believe this scientific revolution of new ideas in SOM is widely recognized. I appreciate your recent edit summed as "humus is not always highly stable". Perhaps this is indicative that you are aware of these new ideas such as blogged about yesterday at http://www.gardenmyths.com/humus-does-not-exist-says-new-study/, commenting on the conclusion that humification does not involve the stepped reduction in molecular size to increasingly resistant/persistent forms of carbon that we thought it did. I follow the work of these the two authors, Lehmann and Kleber, of the Nature article, can vouch for them as world class scientists working on important questions. Lehmann was a co-author on Mao 2012 which really dug deep into the charcoal derived fraction of SOC.

Mao, J.-D.; Johnson, R. L.; Lehmann, J.; Olk, J.; Neeves, E. G.; Thompson, M. L.; Schmidt-Rohr, K. (2012). "Abundant and stable char residues in soils: implications for soil fertility and carbon sequestration". Environmental Science and Technology. 46: 9571–9576. doi:10.1021/es301107c.

Mao 2012 resonates with the 2001 statement by a Canadian research team: a considerable change in conceptual understanding (a paradigm shift) appears imminent

Ponomarenko, E.V.; Anderson, D.W. (2001), "Importance of charred organic matter in Black Chernozem soils of Saskatchewan", Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 81 (3): 285–297, The present paradigm views humus as a system of heteropolycondensates, largely produced by the soil microflora, in varying associations with clay (Anderson 1979). Because this conceptual model, and simulation models rooted within the concept, do not accommodate a large char component, a considerable change in conceptual understanding (a paradigm shift) appears imminent.

I look forward to your article improvements! -- Paleorthid (talk) 17:42, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What larks?

Please can you have a look at the last Calandrella link in {{Larks Birdlife-HBW August2017}}? It's pointing to a disambiguation page. I guess it should be Mongolian short-toed lark Calandrella dukhunensis but it's not my subject area, so I'd rather someone more knowledgeable fixed it please. Thanks, Certes (talk) 16:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem on Weenen Game Reserve

Material you included in the above article appears to have been copied from the copyright web page http://dx.doi.org/10.2989/10220110109485760. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed.

Also, it appears that you copied or moved text from Weenen to Weenen Game Reserve. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. I have added the required attribution. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:31, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Birds of the Miombo cat.

Hello,

I am a regular contributor of the birds by location section, an 'atlas project' in which users can literally browse bird species according to their geographical presence worldwide (retrievable from the BirdLife International website) via relevant sub-categories, many of which correspond to environmental (e.g. "birds of the miombo") as well as political (e.g. "birds of Southern Africa") geographical regions.
e.g. the Birds of South America cat. previously included a random and incomplete list of bird entries, but has since been ammended and improved, whereby now : birds with a pan-range of presence are listed on the home page, while many birds' ranges of presence tend to correspond to an environmental geographical region, to which they are particularly confined to ; e.g birds of the Northern Andes etc.
All in all, the project now allows for a clearer, well-structured and fathomable browsing of birds according to their geographical presence...

I am currently implicated in a debate against several other contributors who claim that such refined environmental sub-regional categories are needless and should be removed and merged into their political parent categories (e.g. whereby birds typically present throughout the miombo region would be upmerged into the vaguer and broader, less relevant "birds of Souther Africa" category): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_February_3#Category:Birds_of_the_Miombo. Despite my clarifications and counter-arguments, I seem unable to convince them otherwise.

Should you wish to express your viewpoint, please do not hesitate to leave a comment on the talk page, preceded by the word keep or merge. Regards --Couiros22 (talk) 11:25, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Gorgeous bushshrike (disambiguation)

The article Gorgeous bushshrike (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation is not required: both entries point to the same article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
