HiYou mean like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gumshoe97 Gumshoe97 (talk) 01:00, 3 December 2019 (UTC) my name isn't displayed on the list of users looking to be adopted. Gumshoe97 (talk) 01:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC) Also i would be perfectly fine if you adopted me, because only sometimes I need some help, and you seem great at providing it! Gumshoe97 (talk) 01:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC) Thanks! Gumshoe97 (talk) 01:45, 3 December 2019 (UTC) speciesbox Foleyola billotiiHullo. This is a follow-up from the question I asked in the Teahouse. There is now a page in english https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foleyola_billotii . The speciesbox is a mess. From the pages you and colleagues directed me to, I think that page with the title "Template:Taxonomy/Foleyola" is needed to link the genus to the Brassicaceae taxonomy. However I have no idea how to do this! If you can, excellent. You will also note that there is an error for one of the references because it doesn't have a title. I havn't yet managed to find it but it must be somewhere and I'm still looking for it. If you can work out how to do a speciesbox, that would be great.MerielGJones (talk) 22:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

@MikeTheEditor104: Thanks and you're welcome. Merry Christmas to you, as well! Hope you're doing well? (Seems you've remained quite busy off-wiki, considering you haven't been around much the past few weeks?) AddWittyNameHere 14:28, 25 December 2019 (UTC) Merry Christmas!Hello AddWittyNameHere: Enjoy the holiday season, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, Everedux (talk) 20:11, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
Theodor Gottlieb von SchevenGreetings AddWitty. Thankyou for your summary on the talk page and for the additions. Early workers present a problem since you can no longer ask a generation of entomologists with a fund of knowledge for help as traditional taxonomy has lost favour and resource.They are sadly no longer like Scheven himself.Thanks to your effort he is no longer lost and starting to appear through the mist.Very best regards Robert Nash FRES aka Notafly (talk) 14:46, 29 December 2019 (UTC) PS Somethings have (greatly) improved though Here is Der Naturforscher at
Naturforscher Halle (Scheven in good company)There is no account in English that I can find of this clearly very significant journal of the German enlightenment .So I will begin a stub including a list of contributors (B-G entomologists alone are Nikolaus Joseph Brahm, Johann Stephan Capieux (de wiki), Eugen Johann Christoph Esper, Johann Kaspar Füssli Johann Friedrich Gmelin, Johann August Ephraim Goeze a star galaxy already). I will let you know when I have put an outline together.Notafly (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2019 (UTC) Ps The conchologists, ornithologists and others (botanists perhaps) will be more difficult for me but I will ask former colleagues for any input. Happy New Year Notafly (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Stub started both John Jacob Gebauer Johann Stephan Capieux (red links) have pages in Wiki de and I will get round to them.Also I will add a bit on the taxonomic description of Der Naturforscher. Very best regards Notafly (talk) 17:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC) PS I have a large (very large) digital book collection. Mostly on Diptera but many general entomology, glossaries and so on. Would you like me to send you a list then a memory stick of chosen items? My e-mail is --

Patrolling of articlesHello! Colleague, could you please to patrol this and this articles? Thank you. — Green Zero обг 01:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Software companiesI think the article a) does make some genuine claims of notability and b) needs to have about 2/3 of its content removed as promotional. Something like that, it's quite understandable why you weren't sure. DS (talk) 05:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Lepidoptera genera pagesHi AddWittyNameHere, you had posted a request on WP:TOL back in late-November about updating the genus pages for Lepidoptera. As the amphibians and reptiles automatic taxobox conversion task is nearing completion, I may be able to assist you now. To that end, what were the parameters you had in mind? How are you tracking your progress? What taxa have been completed and what sources are you relying on? 'Cheers, Loopy30 (talk) 01:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC) A barnstar for you!
Wow!!! You seem to have diffused ALL the moth redirects out of Category:Redirects from alternative scientific names over your last bout of activity. That is a very impressive accomplishment. I'm feeling inspired to tackle the gastropods and see how much smaller than alternative scientific name category can get. Plantdrew (talk) 04:30, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Hey thereHey there, alles goed? I was going back through my older edits, as I do sometimes, and I came across your name which sounded familiar (and witty, lol), then realised you were the lovely person who went out of her way to explain how things work to the user EDWARD SIGMA (I'd rather not tag him). I see you've not edited since January. Not very alarming as I do the same as you. Anyway, I hope you are keeping well and your health is good! Dankie :) UaMaol (talk) 07:55, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Still trying to figure out how to contribute in a proper mannerThank you for your help I am trying to figure out how to write this in a way that works for the guideline Also I thought it was in a sandbox and I didn't know it was published yet. Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated GW Leith (talk) 14:32, 21 March 2021 (UTC) G Lists of mothsHi, when various categories for non-island countries were merged to continents, I salvaged some of your previous work by creating List of moths of Brazil, List of moths of China, List of moths of Mexico and List of moths of the United States as bare lists. Please feel free to make these more useful e.g. by adding sub-headings by family. – Fayenatic London 10:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC) A cup of tea for you!
"Genera" and "general"There seem to be several editors with some kind of automatic spelling correction tool that keep incorrectly changing "genera" to "general". The change gets noticed in a section heading, as you did, but can easily be missed in text. Sigh... Peter coxhead (talk) 12:19, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

ArbCom 2023 Elections voter messageHello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add Square bracket mismatchThe best way of adding surrounding square-brackets around authors is by using {{Bracket}} (unless inside a WP:CS1 or WP:CS2 citation template) like so: {{Bracket|[[Michael Denis|Denis]] & [[Ignaz Schiffermüller|Schiffermüller]]}}
which produces the same desired formatting: [Denis & Schiffermüller]. If you do have to, or want to, nowiki-wrap, then please do so to both the opening and closing brackets. That way, they are much less likely to be removed, and the html comment is unnecessary.
