CaladeniaThanks for the fix, I did one here too(I hope). Cheers, Cygnis insignis 12:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC) CategoryYou might be interested in this debate, to use the term loosely Category:Orchidaceae Cygnis insignis 13:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC) Orchids wikiHello Orchi I would like to invite you to join Orchids Wiki on wikia dedicated on documenting orchid genres, species and hybrids. I have used most of your wiki commons pics on the site. If you have any questions please contact me. --Cs california (talk) 10:58, 31 December 2007 (UTC) Thanks for moving an articleI have yet to see what if anything happened to the genus page. So far, I think that the way to move articles and retain the editor history is to delete the redirection page (which should have the least amount of edits) and then simply move the article. I am unable to delete articles and have had good experience getting redirection pages I created deleted in a short time, but I am unable to think yet about what might be a soul sucking process of getting someone elses redirection page deleted. This has been about the Habenaria blephariglottis move. Thanks. -- carol (talk) 03:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi again! Thank you so much for pointing out that the license information for the Malaxis xanthochila image was missing and also that I had somehow missed uploading three more images. It is most kind of you. I have just tried to fix the licensing and uploaded the other three images. I wonder if you could please, when you can spare the time, check them to see if I have done them correctly (I am not as confident on Wikimedia Commons as I am on Wikipedia). These are the problems with the files you pointed out:
Thank you once again for spotting these deficiencies and letting me know about them - I really appreciate the help. Sincerely, John Hill (talk) 22:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Salvia forsskaoleiHi, I've started a discussion at Talk:Salvia forsskaolei regarding your renaming of that article. It seems that there are so many variations and misspellings, given by different reliable sources, that neither the current name or the previous one may be correct!

BulbophyllumHi, Orchi, I have try to delete this text "Two small Australian species, the previous B. globuliforme and B. minutissimum, were placed in 1961, in a new genus, Oncophyllum, of which they are the only members, and are now named Oncophyllum globuliforme and Oncophyllum minutissimum." from the article "Bulbophyllum" because of outdated information. The names Oncophyllum globuliforme and Oncophyllum minutissimum are at the moment according "The World Checlist of Selected Plant Families" (Kew) are only synonyms of two species of Bulbophyllum: Bulbophyllum globuliforme Nicholls, Orchidol. Zeylanica 5: 124 (1938) and Bulbophyllum minutissimum (F.Muell.) F.Muell., Fragm. 11: 53 (1878). Oncophyllum globuliforme Oncophyllum minutissimum Best Regards,Annusintercalaris (talk) 12:47, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Sarcophyton (orchid), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Sarcophyton. 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) 15:22, 5 July 2011 (UTC) Interwikis for NeottiaIt's an interesting question as to what interwikis to put for Neottia. The other language versions don't seem to have caught up with the merger of Neottia and Listera. So, e.g., it's not quite right to show de:Neottia as equivalent to the the English article. Actually, en:Neottia is equivalent to de:Neottia + de:Listera. But interwikis can't cope with this, which is why I just left the links commented out and didn't attempt to add the Neottia ones.

salep<orchishello; salep is produced from the tubers of several orchis species-cultivars; & aparently only from orchis plants. unless you have a better suggestion for how to define the relationship between the plant & the product(?), then salep belongs in the orchis categoey. respectfully, Lx 121 (talk) 06:30, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Disambiguation link notification for April 30Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tetramicra (orchid), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vale. 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.

They actually only take a few minutes - it's the articles that are time consuming. About the type species for Diuris. I use the Australian Plant Name Index as the authority for Australian plants. This page notes that James Edward Smith did not designate a type species. The source you used quotes Smith's book "Exotic Botany" which is Smith's description of Diuris aurea but there is no mention of this being designated as the type species. Instead, (on page 13 of the same book) Smith notes "Both these accounts relate merely to the generic character, nor has any author particularized any of the numerous species..." So, it appears the genus was described without a description of a species. Also on page 13, Smith describes Diuris punctata so that species was described at the same time as D. aurea. (Maybe one of us should quiz Wesley Higgins - Higgins@alumni.ufl.edu who wrote the paper you referred to.) I am not an expert on orchids but I have some good books on the subject and will try to identify the orchids in the images you mentioned. All the very best to you Orchi. I've seen the great work you've done over many years and hope you will keep going for many more. Gderrin (talk)
Thank you for your compliments. I've been looking at Caladenia species. The Australian Plant Name Index says "Type:not designated" (as for Diuris) BUT Mark Clements designated Caladenia carnea as the type species (as you have correctly stated) in "Australian Orchid Research" Catalogue of Australian Orchidaceae (1989) p. 20. (This paper is also quoted by Mr. Higgins.) Now I have a problem. On page 66 of the same paper by Clements is written - Diuris Smith Trans. Linn. Soc. London 4:222 (1798). Type species: Diuris aurea Smith. That means I am wrong! Dammit. I don't understand. I am sorry to have wasted your time but I have fixed my mistake. Greetings from Oz. Gderrin (talk) I have great pleasure in Australian orchids and I think we will do our best here. Greeting. Orchi (talk) 14:30, 16 September 2016 (UTC) and to you.

Caladenia tessellataHello again Orchi, Thanks again for all your work fixing my mistakes here and on Commons. It's great to know that at least one person is looking at my work! I am curious about why you redirected Caladenia tessellata to Caladenia cardiochila. I think this might be a mistake. The two species are similar (as noted on the C. cardiochila page) and sometimes the two species are mistaken for each other (as noted here) but C. tessellata occurs in New South Wales and C. cardiochila in Victoria. Both species are listed at IPNI and described at the relevant state herbaria and both are described in my principal reference (Jones). Please let me know your reasons. Looking forward to your answer - maybe you have saved me a couple of hours writing! https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Orchi&offset=&limit=500&target=Orchi (talk) 23:15, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Just to say that my view is that now links to these two automatically appear in the left margin via Wikidata, it's not necessary to add them to articles (just as we don't now add links to other language wikis to articles). I wondered what you think of this proposition. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:03, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
