No sole glory for me!Thanks Shyamal! I changed it based on the ICZN rule (?) of having to cite all authors upon first usage. I guess it should be alright. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seshadri.K.S (talk • contribs) 14:20, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for improving Selaginella willdenowii. You wrote "The blue iridescence is produced by thin-film interference produced by confirm the presence of a a thin layer of lamellar structure in the upper cuticle leaves."[1] I think something is missing in the middle of the sentence but I'm not sure how to fix it. If you have time, could you please give it a look? — Reinyday, 18:27, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank youFor the barnstar, and for information on User:Dyanega (I was not aware about him!). Chhandama (talk) 04:32, 31 March 2016 (UTC) Invitation to discuss on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Cyrillic)Hello! As there is already an only proposed Wikipedia guideline on naming conventions (Cyrillic). The proposal is still in development, under discussion and needs of gathering consensus for adoption. Since I am well experienced on this subject, I would like to criticize the official transliteration of Bulgarian as it gives too many errors, which also causes some losses of sounds “ǎ (a hacek”), decentralise itself from other slavic languages (“c” and “š” voices), which is also conflicting in itself (see street signs 1 and 2). By this revision, it is away from being accurate and not able to satisfy the needs of an encyclopedia which claims to be scientifical. These are the reasons I invite you to read Scientific transliteration of Cyrillic and involve the discussion in order to contribute a possible concensus. Wish to see you here thanks Manaviko (talk) 13:21, 5 April 2016 (UTC) This Month in GLAM: March 2016

Tagging redirect pagesHello, I see that you reverted my tagging of a redirect page for WikiProject Insects. The project just implemented the expanded class categories, which includes redirect pages separately. These pages won't be cluttering the other WP Insects categories, so I'm not clear what the concern is. Is there a policy against tagging redirects for WP Insects? If there is, where can I view it? M. A. Broussard (talk) 04:19, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your careful edits. I see there are a lot of errors due to the erroneous scientific names. I am no expert on botany, but I will try to be more careful while adding these names and using those journals. Thanks again. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 08:42, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jean Baptiste Joseph Gentil, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mughal. 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.

Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:02, 23 May 2016 (UTC) changing all the Dipteran articles labeled XXXX (genus) to XXXX (fly)Hi, Shyamal. There is either a superhumanly fast user or someone running a bot that is moving all the Dipteran articles labeled XXXX (genus) to XXXX (fly) - e.g.[2]. It was my understanding that it was always considered better to use (genus) in article titles, since the rules of nomenclature prevent re-use of the same names except across kingdoms. That is, unless there is an (e.g.) Epistrophe plant genus, there is no reason that "Epistrophe (genus)" needs to be made more specific, since if it applies to a fly, it cannot be used for a beetle, or moth, or anything else in teh animal kingdom. I do not, however, see any specific protocol regardin this on the WikiProjects Insects page, and don't have time right now to track down which higher-level WikiProject it might be policy for. I don't like the idea of someone making major bulk changes like this that potentially affect hundreds of articles, with no opportunity for other editors' feedback in advance. If there is any way you could look into this, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Dyanega (talk) 23:42, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Anepsion imageHi, how did you identify the spider whose image you uploaded as File:Anepsion Munsiari.jpg? From the location, it seems that if it is indeed an Anepsion, it has to be Anepsion maritatum, the only species found in India. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:57, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Book of interestGiven your interest in biographical articles about naturalists thought a book I recently came across would be of interest to you:
What do you think are the chances of an academic writing a similar book about India? Solomon7968 00:57, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Featured Picture nominationHi Shyamal, Great working with you over the last week – looking forward to more! If I could bother you for a second... I submitted my "Tiny Planet" of the Last Supper sculpture in Esino Lario for Featured Picture on the English Wikipedia. If you think it qualifies, could you please support my nomination? Thanks in advance,

Do let me know if you are interested in this. Solomon7968 04:59, 29 August 2016 (UTC) Sorry my email did not reach you - it's about a bird image of yoursHello, As you can probably see, I am very new to this and just trying to figure out how it works... :) I've incorporated one of your images (the top left one here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-billed_chough#/media/File:ChoughsDiff.svg) into a project I am working on; I've created a sort of "crest" based on Cornish imagery and want to see if I can sell a few t-shirts of local interest, incorporating that crest. I had initially thought that whatever was on Wikimedia Commons was free to use, but, as I said, I'm really new to this and just want to be sure that it's OK to incorporate your image into the work I am doing. That's what I tried to send you an email about. Is this something that you would object to? Thanks for your time and for all the lovely images! Miseridog (talk) 11:00, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you so much for that! Miseridog (talk) 11:53, 29 August 2016 (UTC) Indian botanists / SignpostThank you for your suggestion. I would be interested in this for the mid-September edition of the Signpost. Are you interested in authoring such an article? I would be happy to work with you if so. If we need to find a reporter to write it, that might be a bit more difficult, as we are a bit spread thin at the moment. Looks like a great story, though -- I hope we can include something. -Pete (talk) 18:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Wikiquote followupDid you got a chance to reflect on my above Wikiquote request? Furthermore I wonder if you would be able to find a short succinct quote in q:Species which explains nicely the discrepancy between the non-existence of Charismatic megafauna in invertebrates (including: insects, corals, mollusca, arachnids, crustaceans) and the comparatively larger ~1.3 million number of species compared to vertebrates.

Extended confirmed protectionHello, Shyamal. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. Please semi-protect this article. --Martian Manhunter xyz (talk) 05:03, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

LedikeniThank you for doing something about that molten sugar statement, which would make it a very dangerous comestible, as you say. Do you know what these sweets are actually like? Are they eaten hot? The molten sugar claim is clearly wrong, but I've seen a statement that they are made with a lump of gur in the middle. Perhaps that dissolves, or perhaps it undergoes some process through heating, but I don't know. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 15:57, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
File:ThrushUpperWing.jpgHey Shyamal! I am currently working on a draft of a bird glossary. (It's probably 30% done; started because I keep seeing nowhere to link to for terms in bird articles; the plan is to create a template for linking to its definitions, equivalent to the way {{Cuegloss}} functions for billiards articles.) In my travels to populate it, I came across the headlined image, naming the coverts. I'd love to use it – thank you for making it – but I feel the text is so small, that at any normal image size for an article, it's impossible to read the annotated text. I think you'll see what I mean if you look at its display in Covert feather. I was wondering if it might be easy and possible for you to upload a second version with [much] larger text? I could probably fumble my way to do it with GIMP but image editing is not something I am very adept at. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:23, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

PapilionoideaHi, Shyamal. That was the accidental inclusion of an extra asterisk. Hesperiidae was the sixth family in the list (as the text stated), and not a 14th subfamily of Nymphalidae. I've fixed that. I will note, if you feel it warranted, that I did not go ahead with the inclusion of Hedylidae - I was only accommodating the inclusion of Hesperiidae which had already been added by a different editor. There are two citations, together in the lead on the Papilionoidea page, and if you want to make the edits necessary to add Hedylidae, please go ahead. Also, the Nymphalidae page uses an automated taxobox which contains a completely different higher phylogeny (a redlink to "Papilioniformes" in italics), so there is internal incompatibility in the various higher taxonomic ranks in the various articles. I really, really hate automated taxoboxes in Insecta articles - the higher classification is far too unstable. Thanks! Dyanega (talk) 17:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
