I tried to do at least a first go-round on fixing those two articles. I left another update on the talk page at Pectinidae. There is more work to be done to the articles but I should explain that I am going away on Monday for more than two weeks and I have to do my packing now. I may not be able to do much more on this until late August. Invertzoo (talk) 17:14, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
The Bivalvia and clam thing is a bit tricky, because some people in the US use the word clam to refer only to the edible species that are infaunal, in contrast to oysters, scallops, mussels, etc. Other US people, especially I think malacologists, use the word "clam" in a broader sense to mean bivalve. People in the UK don't really use the word clam very much at all. I suppose one could argue that the common name for Bivalvia is really bivalves, not clams...? I dunno... But you are right that those articles need sorting out -- there are probably other similar things going on in other parts of the bivalve coverage. Invertzoo (talk) 23:23, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

I did a more or less random sample of various non-molluscan creatures with common names to see what is currently being done with regard to scientific names and article titles. Here is what I found ("->" and "=>" both mean "redirects to":
What I interpret from this is that there is a pattern of consistently using the common name with a redirect from a scientific name as long as that common name corresponds well with a scientific name (exceptions: eagles, whales, elephants, earthworms). Scientific name used when no equivalent common name exists or seems to have any regular use (i.e., mackerel sharks). There is often a gap in common usage between the the order/ suborder level and the family level, such that the superfamilies don't often have equivalent common names and neither do many of the suborders, but at the order level, family level, and species level, if the animal has a common name at that level, that is the title of the article on that animal in all respects. Mind you, my approach was not exactly scientific or methodical, but it was conducted with as few preconceptions of the business as I could muster. KDS4444Talk 04:30, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi there! I like the new picture you've added to the top of the flight feather article, but I have some concerns about our ability to use it on Wikipedia. You've uploaded it with the descriptor "public domain", but I see a logo in the corner (watermarks aren't generally acceptable on Wikipedia) and there is absolutely nothing on the owlpages.com website which indicates that it's a public domain picture. Do you have something that indicates it is?
Also, can I suggest that you move the new bit about coverts into the remiges section rather than the lead? The introductory paragraphs aren't supposed to include anything not mentioned in the expanded article, and (since they're not really flight feathers) I'm not sure it's appropriate to include them there anyway. It would be good to add the information into the body of the article though. :) MeegsC (talk) 01:24, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Propeamussiidae may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi KDS4444,
Congratulations on getting that scallop image featured and up on the main page today! I just voiced my support at the merger you proposed. Do you intend to carry out that merger? It looks like the community is in support of it; no one has objected since you proposed it several weeks ago.
Neelix (talk) 02:40, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
KDS4444: Thanks for your invitation to look at a merge discussion for Pectinidae. I've acknowledged the invite there and will add more soon.

The pending changes protection at Raashid Alvi were removed yesterday - and this morning User:Irfan.hamd added 29Kb of the same old material.
Fully understand if you don't want to get involved - but a "heads up" if you are still interested. - Arjayay (talk) 09:45, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
He's back?? No effing way. Incredible. I have some things to take care of this morning here in Los Angeles, but when I get back, there's gonna be some trouble. Unbelievable. Well, actually, I take that back. Par for the course, I guess. Yes, I want to get involved. Wish there were no reason to. Thank you for the heads-up! I wonder if this means the page is now going to be headed for full protection... Which is ridiculous, for a third-rate Indian politician that no one has ever heard of outside of India. But whatever. I'll be back. KDS4444Talk 17:11, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

It probably needs some sort of tag; I've an idea that there might be a standard template for this, rather than an edit notice. Leave it with me, and I'll do one or the other in the next day or two. Thanks for the fixing Jimfbleak - talk to me? 17:03, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

That simple comment was very entertaining. Kudos. Chicago Smooth (talk) 22:04, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
Thanks for this. Just so you know, there have been a number of emails back and forth about this topic. There won't likely be a response, but your concerns have not gone unheard or unaddressed. Removing messages is not an uncommon approach for someone who wants to avoid conflict. Unfortunately, on Wikipedia, since communication is expected, sometimes that can just invite additional conflict rather than effectively signal a request to disengage.
Personally, knowing how confusing and intimidating editing can be for a new user -- especially when it comes to other people undoing and criticizing your work -- I think it's best to allow a little space to adapt sometimes. In other words, it may be counter-productive when someone signals a desire not to communicate, to continue to communicate on the subject of non-communication :) If there were serious behavioral or content-related issues -- and if those issues continued after the removal of the message -- that's one thing, but I think otherwise we can assume good faith that removing a message means acknowledgement (I think if this user had even just said the word "acknowledged" in an edit summary, you wouldn't likely have felt so ignored). It's annoying, I agree, but if content-related problems persist and further attempts at communication fail, things can escalate to a noticeboard, where noncommunication never goes over well.
That's just my $0.02. Thanks for your productive comments. --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:16, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi, you recently proposed a merger of Indigenous Opposition to the Northern Gateway Pipelines on one day, and then closed and performed the merger yourself 38 hours later. While you informed the involved editor, you neither waited for a reply, nor waited the standard five days for a merger discussion (per WP:MERGE). Said user, User:Evan.j.miranda, is new to Wikipedia and is taking [my class on indigenous rights], and came to me completely bewildered about what just happened. On top of that your "merge" involved adding exactly zero bytes from the merged article to Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines. This was out of standard process and a fairly heavy instance of biting the newcomers.
While I could do this myself, I am asking you to undo the merger and reopen the discussion for at least the next five days. This a notable subtopic with plenty of RS'ed material. It's attracting independent coverage in media and scholarly sources. Examples of the latter: There's a reasonable case for WP:SPINOFF here, a possibility that you short-circuited by imagining that everyone on Wikipedia is familiar with online debates and posts their thoughts within a few hours. --Carwil (talk) 11:55, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

I note that you have created a number of new articles for Wikipedia. New articles are always welcome as indeed are your efforts to create them.
You maybe unaware but you are short circuiting the official article creation process. This may be understandable, because at least one procedure document suggests that you can create articles exactly the way that you do - and indeed you can.
What it doesn't tell you is: that when you create a draft article in your userspace, and then self move it into article space, its sudden appearance is automatically flagged and the article is (almost) immediately scrutinised. If there is nothing unacceptable with it, all well and good. But if the article has any shortcomings, it will be deleted in toto without explanation. If you do not have an independent copy, you will have to recreate it from scratch because you cannot get it undeleted (though by jumping through a few hoops you can get it undeleted back into your user space)
The best (and correct) procedure is to create your article in user space as before. When you believe it is ready, click the big blue "Submit your draft for review!" button. Your article will be srutinised as before, but this time, if there is something wrong, you will get a polite rejection notice at the top of your draft with a reason(s) as to what needs to be improved. The important bit is that you will still have something to improve. If your article is good, the reviewer will move it into article space for you and it will not be flagged as a new article.
I hope that this is of some assistance. I B Wright (talk) 17:10, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
The book went to print in 2012 (I think), my edit dates back to 2006. (Not the first time my text was lifted word by word from here.) I was wondering; word by word lifts aren't my style, the phrasing in the book was a bit too "my style", so I checked the times. The blame goes the other way! :D This may be actually a long-term problem for wikipedia in general... Glad we have the edit history with timestamps. Shaddack (talk) 18:23, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Kelayres massacre at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Wugapodes (talk) 05:21, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
On 25 July 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kelayres massacre, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that in 1934, participants in a political rally in Kelayres, Pennsylvania, were gunned down as they marched past the house of the local opposition party boss? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kelayres massacre. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi K.D.,
Just to let you know, the Featured Picture File:Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite adult-en.svg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on August 13, 2015. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2015-08-13. Thank you for all of your contributions! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:38, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
The result of the above discussion was "Merge", not "Redirect". The difference is that in a merge the info (or the main part of it) should be added to the target article, and then the subject should be redirected to the target. I fixed your mal-formatted redirect, but could you please add some info on the record to the discography or the musical career sections? Kraxler (talk) 14:23, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of Dismaland.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:23, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Please have a discussion before you delete articles. This is not a new thing. Your one opinion does not give the power to delete an article.- Visnvoisnvo, 6 September 2015
Why is the album considered to be not notable? Is there some guideline in the namespace that goes against Brass Goggles being a page? -- Matthew - (talk · userpage · contributions) 11:20, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Oshun, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yoruba. 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.

Re "heads up": This was looked at at ANI and ARBCOM request case. The group/individual who was promoting this theory User Talk:VeritasVincitUSA was indef'd. They were trying to gin it up at Daily Kos and now apparently at Ring of Fire. Capitalismojo (talk) 14:09, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
No, Dark data (business) is a deliberate split from that one, per Talk:Dark data. The dark data article previously described two entirely different things called "dark data". Since I can't remove a speedy template from a page I created, would appreciate you retracting it. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 16:57, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
Undeleted. It has no description page whatsoever, so it would help if you'd add everything. Nyttend (talk) 23:44, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello KDS444! You left a message on my talk page about the speedy deletion nomination of the article GIET. (It's not an article by the way - it's a disambiguation page). Just wanted to apologize for the trouble - I wasn't really aware of the problems caused by empty articles and stuff - I generally use the visual editor, and there's no way you can CREATE an article using the vis-editor.... so till now I created empty pages first and THEN wrote the article.... After a kind wikipedian pointed out the mistakes I was making, I started creating new articles in my namespace first. Sorry for the trouble. KNivedat (talk) 13:43, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
I've added a bunch more references for Adam McArthur after digging into his martial arts career. Originally I did not want to waste my time on that if his article was going to be deleted anyway, hence my note, but please check it over and see if that's enough to pass notability.

All three of my recent articles that you nominated for deletion clearly meet WP:ACADEMIC criterion #3 because they are members of the Royal Society of Canada. Please remove the speedy delete tags and exercise due diligence in checking the criteria in the future. Bueller 007 (talk) 15:06, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi KDS4444, Just to make you aware per WP:SK1 you can't withdraw an AFD if there's a delete !vote there, If there's a keep or any other then it's fine but if there's a delete !vote then obviously it's not, So technically this afd shouldn't of been closed as such, Had I spotted it a week ago I would've reverted the close but no point reverting a close that was made a week ago!, Anyway just thought I'd give you a heads up, Cheers & Happy editing :) –Davey2010Talk 00:18, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
