on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! - UtherSRGJust dropping a hello. Sorry if my edits on [[Jurassic Park}} were rather harshly-worded (in retrospect). I have restored the first paragraph (what was I thinking?). The meaning of the second paragraph is clear to me from your notes, but I think it needs to be made clear that genetic engineering (or artificial selection) on this scale is presently unfeasible. I like your user page, and I also have a focus upon correcting bad science or bias in wikipedia. I'll get back to this issue as soon as possible.--ChrisJMoor 02:37, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
"Walking with Dinosaurs" screenshots!
How excllent! I hope you'll make a long series of "Dinosaurs" and "Mammals" screenshots: Wikipedia needs these illustrations! --Wetman 05:50, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd really like to describe every episode of the series, as my brother has them on VHS. I downloaded the screenshot and didn't shoot it myself. I don't know if it was ever released on DVD. (and I hope it's not a copyright infringement) — Phlebas 16:28, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Titanosaur
Hi there. It's good to see someone new working on dinosaurs (and yes, I even saw you join the dead-on-arrival WikiProject :). But could you move Titanosauridae back to titanosaur? The article actually discusses Titanosauria in general, including the family, and how the largest grouping of sauropods is still vague, given the dubious anchor taxa and all the missing skulls. I followed the ToL guideline of defaulting to the lowest covered taxa in the taxobox, which may have been incorrect -- I have no problem with changing the taxobox to Titanosauria (and probably should, since at least two of the listed genera are commonly classified as nemegosaurids). If you do a Google check the term "titanosaur" is more than five times more common than titanosaurid, titanosaurian, Titanosauridae, and Titanosauria, so the article title should use the common name (similar to the way the article is correctly at dinosaur, not dinosaurian or Dinosauria). I was careful about using titanosaurid when I referred to just the family in the article (the eggs), but that probably should be clarified. 68.81.231.127 19:24, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The formal vernacular for titanosaur is Titanosaurus... but it's not actually used that way. Please switch it back. There is a clear standard, and it supports the common usage. Are you suggesting dinosaur should be moved to Dinosauria? 68.81.231.127 19:16, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I do not mind, as long as it is not seen as a promotion of the Greater Netherlands thought (Groot-Nederlandse gedachte) :-)

Ranidae → true frog
I know nothing of frogs (real or otherwise), but the redirect you've set up is now a broken link. Shouldn't this either be reverted to an article, or directed elsewhere? --Fbriere 22:27, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Storm
Hi there! I don't know if those titles have been published in English, but since this is the en. wikipedia I felt there should at least be a translation for the Dutch words. Maybe a note should be added to reflect that. Regarding Kleinspace, I think it does refer to 'Mr. Bottle' Klein, since if it were to be 'small space' the correct Dutch title would be "de kleine ruimte", not "de ruimte van klein". Also, it's congruent with earlier titles referring to physicians, e.g. Von Neumann. HTH! Radiant_>|< 07:37, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
Cut and paste move
Hello Phlebas. I noticed you have performed a cut and paste move ([1] [2]), but then as previous contributors have to be credited, cut and paste move is discouraged. I have put up
17:25, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)- Issues around the use of the phrase "mainland China" has been discussed around for several months (as you might have already recognised from the naming conventions talk page), I don't want it to be further complicated. :-D — Instantnood 17:33, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

Indian Railways
I agree it would be best to split the article. Would you kindly comment on Talk:Indian Railways as to what sections should be taken off the IR? The battle lines are awfully blured here. =Nichalp (Talk)= 17:46, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
KMMA
Ik zie dat jij het artikel omtrent het KMMA op de wiki en hebt ingevuld, kan je anders even naar de nederlandse versie kijken, op nl wiki ?
Waarom slijt je je dagen trouwens op de engelstalige versie? We kunnen je gebruiken bij de nederlandse versie ;)
- Ik heb een nl account (Adson) maar dat zal ik zeer zelden gebruiken, tenzij voor nu en dan een discussietje. Ik vind de nlwiki en alle anderstalige wikis tijdsverpilling (all other wikis are a waste of time) en veel te gezellig. enwiki is a lot more exciting and it sharpens my english (sharpens-that's probably incorrect). Maar ik zal is effe kijken naar de KMMA op nlwiki. Ik zou er doodgraag willen werken...
eerste nl.wikimedia.org ontmoeting
ik zou iedereen graag willen uitnodigen te overwegen of zij een rol willen en/of kunnen spelen in de oprichting van een nederlandse wikimedia-organisatie. een eerste ontmoeting wordt momenteel georganiseerd, zie daarvoor hier, op de nl.wikimedia.org wiki. er zijn nog vele stappen te nemen, en meer wikianen nodig, om e.e.a. op verantwoorde wijze verder te ontwikkelen.

PS: I don't usually check other User_talk: pages (so that I don't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person with whom I am having a "conversation"), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it.

Hello, Names Pat. As you may have realized by clicking on the electric bicycle link this page is in dispute. It is currently redirected to motorized bicycle. As, an environmentalist, I would imagine you should be concerned about the proper identification of the green environmentally friendly method of transportion ("electric bicycle" that is) vs. all "motorized bicycles" (which more then often consist of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE)). Essentially, I am trying to get the redirect removed so I can develop the "electric bicycle" article. Your opinion on the subject would be greatly appreciate in the wikipedia redirect removal section. You can find comments about this date for Nov. 5... or simply search bicycle (alt+f with windows explorer). Seing as you enjoy clean, grean environmentally friendly I figured you might vote in favor to remove the re-direct and give us the oppertunaty to start a nice article. However, I also figured that you might be able to, or might know someone that can, contribute elements of contrast, some interesting health and environment facts. I hope to talk to you soon. Best wishes. --CyclePat 04:41, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Invitation to the Forgotten Realms project
Hi,
We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.
The goal is to create a sort of World Factbook for the Realms. This means:
- A consistent content
- Use of templates
- Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the Western Highlands.
On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as
- The project is located here
- The Halruaaentry.
Main contributors are presently
If you know some other person who would be interested, feel free to forward the invitation!
Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! Reply to David Latapie 12:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

My Attempt:
Since Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs is becoming a bit dormant of late, I've decided to get it reactivated. I've started putting the following templates all over the show, & I'd appreciate if someone would try putting them on too. Remember, they only go on Dinosaur orientated artcle's TALK pages. Not the articles themselves.
Dinosaurs NA‑class | |||||||
|
So, finally, while I work on the project with a designer, in order to get more people, thus more pages, I would appreciate if you didn't move or shift (or stuff up for that matter) any of the work I'll be doing, like adding templates, protocols to the project page, etc etc. I'm hoping to get it up to the standard of The military history project. So, tell your friends to join up, or spam unknowing people & continue to do great articles. I no time, we'll have an awesome, professional project page! Spawn Man 03:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

What does everyone think of it? It's meant to be placed on the talk page of dinosaur related articles, so everytime you edit an article, placing this there would make our job easier. So a few questions I'd like everyone to answer:

Original publication of File:Haeckel_drawings.jpg
Hello, I'm trying to track down the publication date of this image.
