Spoilers
I see you've run afoul of the small number of editors devoted to removing each and every spoiler tag on Wikipedia. They're disproportionately composed of admins, and have a habit of banning people who interfere with their objective, so don't get drawn into edit warring with them. However, your perspective on Wikipedia Talk:Spoiler would be welcome.--Nydas(Talk) 16:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey,
I like your new navbox for extant crocodylians. Looks really good! Cheers, Mark t young (talk) 08:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not on navbox, but still a croc... I don't know if it's a convention among croc specialists (herpetologists? I thought that was just snakes), but it's not in the real world. Caps are gone when I see 'em. TREKphiler hit me ♠ 22:14, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. I'm always interested in the right term. (Sorry to take so long to reply. I missed the cmt somehow...) TREKphiler hit me ♠ 17:00, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- Don't stop there. I've seen abuse across WP. I'm adopting the box. TREKphiler hit me ♠ 21:48 & 21:51, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Single list for MGMT
Hi. I see you added "The Youth" to Template:MGMT. I know there is a video that was released, but from what I can see there is not even a hint about a single release for "The Youth" from either the band or their record company. Do you have any additional information for a possible "The Youth" single? If you only added that because of the released video, I think it will be more accurate to remove that from the singles list until there is actually a mention of a possible single. MGMT has in the past had music videos made without releasing a single. - AlexTheMartian | Talk 08:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I also think the intro to Chelicerata is longer than I'd like. The problem is that the average reader has little prior knowledge of invertebrates.

Re:Mantis ID
Do you have any pictures. Bugboy52.4 (talk) 22:57, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
P.S. The only species of Mantis that occur in your area are (don't let the names fool you):
- European Mantis (Mantis religiosa)
- Chinese Manits (Tenodera aridifolia)
- Carolina Mantis (Stagmomantis carolina)
- I do have a photo, but didn't feel like subjecting Wikipedia to "File:Unidentified Mantid Nymph#308.jpg"... Species occurrence was exactly what I was looking for. Mine looks very similar to a nymph photo on the T. sinensis article. Very interesting how many exotics I assume are native. StevePrutz (talk) 23:11, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- I guess my book doesn't cover all species, but it could just as well be T. aridifolia as it could be T. sinensis, hard to say when thet are so young, were did you get a hold of them anyway? Bugboy52.4 (talk) 23:29, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- I found the mantid in my front yard, which is surrounded by cattle fields. I'll upload one of the best shots. Please categorize it on Commons if you can do so. StevePrutz (talk) 23:58, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Reference for large genome size in frogs
Hi!
I see from the edit history of Poikilotherm you are the originator of the information that poikilotherms (particularly frogs) need large genoms due to needing multiple enzymes to function over a wide temperature spectre. Do you have some sort of citable reference for it? I have tried searching through google scolar, but have so far come up empty handed. Petter Bøckman (talk) 22:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
- Only interest I had in thermoregulation was making a navbox. I have knowledge of frogs, but not frog genomes. StevePrutz (talk) 02:59, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
Regarding this edit you did to MC Hammer, how did the edit manage to cite the author of a video as (and I quote) \ ' + message["@fromScreenName"] + ' says: \
