Binomial authority parentheses

Thanks for your recent articles on crab and caecilians. The use of parentheses to enclose a binomial authority is not just a matter of style. When parentheses are present, it indicates that a species was described in a different genus than the one in which it is now recognized. Sources such as IUCN and WoRMS should be reliable as to whether or not parentheses should be included. Please make sure to follow your sources with regards to parentheses. And thank you again for your contributions. Plantdrew (talk) 22:43, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hylodes japi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anura. 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.

Proposed deletion of Apple Tower

Hello, Sandvich18. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Apple Tower, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:32, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate

Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

Leave the list of tallest buildings in Charlotte page alone

You clearly do not live in Charlotte, or do not know what is going on in the city, you do more harm to this page than good. The coordinates of the buildings are clutter and NO ONE CARES, compared to the type of building that it is. People want to know if they are looking at condos or offices, not the coordinates that no one has a clue how to read. Not to mention that you put in wrong information that was previously corrected.

Talk:Atmosphere of Uranus/GA1

Sandvich18, your last post to this nomination was back on July 22, when you opened it. Please let me know whether you plan to return to your review soon; posts there would seem to indicate that the issues you've raised have been addressed, though of course you'll want to check to see whether the edits are to your satisfaction. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:08, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
