I uploaded a fairly good image (Nkr hessarghatta bangalore perched Mottled wood owl.jpg) of Mottled Wood Owl that I had. Just letting you know as I am not sure how to insert it into the page as it is still a stub. Btw, what is best way to do this kind of notice? put it in the discussion page for that article? Thanks.

Hi Shyamal!
Congratulations! Your application to join the Wikipedia Ambassador Program as an Online Ambassador has been accepted.
First off, two apologies. I'm sorry it took so long to accept your application; I've been traveling and have been almost totally off-wiki for about two weeks. And I apologize for the following info-dump. If this feels overwhelming and you're wondering how to get started or are wondering what's going on, please contact me.
If you haven't already done so, take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines: Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors/Guidelines
The "mentorship process" section lays out approximately what will be expected of you as a mentor. If you'd like, you can also volunteer to be the coordinating online ambassador for a class or two.
Please add yourself to the top of the list of available mentors, and note the number of students you think you'd like to mentor next term (it doesn't have to be a final answer, this is just to help with matching students and mentors once the students start getting active) and if you'd like to take on the coordination role for any classes note that as well: Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors/Mentors (Don't add yourself to the lower "Additional online ambassadors section; that's for ambassadors-in-training and ambassadors who are already mentoring all the the students they want to take on.)
To coordinate between Online Ambassadors and Campus Ambassadors, we've been using a Google Group as a mailing list. It's not required, but almost all the ambassadors are on it. Would you like me to subscribe you? Email me with your email address if so.
You can catch with what's been going on so far with the first major message this term, with details about what the group should and shouldn't be used for: Wikipedia_talk:Ambassadors#Information_for_Ambassadors_about_January_-_May_2011_term
You can also check out the first two ambassador newsletters, which have more detail about what's going on right now. You'll get future editions delivered to your talk page.
If you use IRC, please consider adding #wikipedia-en-ambassadors and #wikipedia-en-classroom to your channel lineup.
Finally, please help us find more mentors! Because the number of students, and their involvement with mentors, is increasing so much for this term, we're going to need a lot of solid Online Ambassadors. Please take a few minutes to think of several other editors you know who would make good mentors, and invite them to apply the the Wikipedia Ambassador Program. The key things we look for are: regular activity (so that we can be confident they'll keep up with their mentoring role for the whole term), friendliness, and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones). You can point them to Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors for information on how to apply and what to expect.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

I saw some of your work and am very impressed. I suppose its people like you that give credibility to Wikipedia abhishek singh (talk) 23:11, 11 March 2011 (UTC) |
I've just noticed the recent edits you made to the frontpage of WP:BIRD. However, it includes some misunderstandings. The three main possibilities used by IOC for group names are:
IOC group names almost always follow one of the above. The only exception are group names where it has been judged that the two words belong together, but would be too complex if joined into one word (e.g. Foliage-gleaner instead of "Foliage Gleaner" or "Foliagegleaner", and Shrike-flycatcher instead of "Shrike Flycatcher" or "Shrikeflycatcher"). Caps are not used if the latter half of the name is not used for the entire family.
This quite closely matches AOU (SACC are part of AOU, and follows the same rules), although they have been more willing to maintain hyphens than IOC (e.g. "Storm-Petrel" by AOU versus "Storm Petrel" by IOC). It also largely matches Howard & Moore and recent editions of Clements, which also have maintained hyphens for more species than IOC.
Consequently, the presently used example, Black-headed Cuckoo-Shrike, doesn't match the rules followed by *any* recent major authority: Cuckoo-shrikes are not shrikes and the entire family aren't Cuckoo-shrikes (also includes trillers, minivets). The only possibilities are therefore Black-headed Cuckoo-shrike (if judged that Cuckooshrike is too complex for a single word) or Black-headed Cuckooshrike (if judged that the two words can be combined). No recent major authority have rules that would result in Black-headed Cuckoo-Shrike. Based on HBW one might be mislead to think that "Cuckoo-Shrike" is used in HBW, but they actually use Cuckoo-shrike. Whoever wrote the wiki article for HBW just used caps everywhere in the descriptions of some volumes.
The presently used rule of WP:BIRD (never use caps after hyphen) is based on BOU and organizations/lists that, directly or indirectly, are related to BOU. HBW follows BOU rules.
This is potentially quite complex and I do understand if all this is a bit too much for the frontpage of WP:BIRD, but at very least the incorrect information (suggestion that IOC don't advocate caps after hyphen, that IOC and SACC differ notably in their approach to caps after hyphen, etc) and the problematic example (Black-headed Cuckoo-Shrike, not used by any recent major authority) should be removed. 212.10.83.201 (talk) 20:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Howdy, Online Ambassador!
This is a quick message to all the ambassadors about marking and tracking which articles students are working on. For the classes working with the ambassador program, please look over any articles being worked on by students (in particular, any ones you are mentoring, but others who don't have mentors as well) and do these things:
And of course, don't forget to check in on the students, give them constructive feedback, praise them for positive contributions, award them {{The WikiPen}} if they are doing excellent work, and so on. And if you haven't done so, make sure any students you are mentoring are listed on your mentor profile.
Thanks! --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 18:14, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

A while ago we discussed the DNA 'barcoding' website BOLD Systems, which was showing up in Creative Commons searches for commercially available content, but which didn't give information on copyright on the pages where the image can be seen. Now it does, as I noticed on seeing File:Clarias stappersii.jpg. A lot of images are released under free licenses, for sparrows some images of study skins in the Royal Ontario Museum, such as the image at right of a Southern Grey-headed Sparrow. I'm guessing you'll want to look through a lot of different organisms; but it's not easy to navigate the images, so here's what I've found: you should link to the taxon page, which gives the license, and the full-size image page (I'd also recommend using the "licensereview" template on Commons). You get to the image pages by right-clicking on the images on the taxon pages, which gives you a page like http://www.boldsystems.org/pics/_w300/BROMB/BROMB566-07_-_156908V%2B1274982072.JPG, a reduced version of the photo. Removing the "/_w300" gives you the full size image. Hope you find some great images there! —innotata 21:55, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind offer Shyamal. I would greatly appreciate your help. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I was on vacation for about a week, and since then I have had a number of projects pop up. I am working in a group with two other student on the "nonpoint source water pollution regulations" page. Since my last entry, the page was moved by my classmate, and an article page has been created. It is still mostly an outline, but there is a great deal more substance than before. We will be working on it a lot over the next three to four weeks. If you have any comments during that time, I would certainly appreciate them. Here's a link to what we have so far: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonpoint_source_water_pollution_regulations

Hi Shyamal,
I'm working on a Mediawiki-based biodiversity database focusing on Indian biodiversity (ProjectBrahma.org), aimed at increasing community participation and awareness about India's biodiversity. The website has a component with one page for each species found in India, wherein we dynamically collect information from several sources such as Encyclopedia of Life, NCBI Taxonomy, Wikipedia, Pubmed and so on, making each page an exhaustive source of information about that species. The site is still in beta phase and many issues need to be sorted out.
Given your enormous contributions to biodiversity-related topics on Wikipedia, I'd really like to pick your brains and get some advice on how to make Brahma Project more user-friendly, more useful and more participative. Please contact me at thebrahmaproject at gmail dot com after you get a chance to look at the website. Hoping to have significant communication with you in the coming days and months...Thanks!

Hi, I'd like you to reconsider your deletion of Andy Lehrer. The article you deleted was, as far as I know, entirely different from the one that was deleted before and I've been told that deleting an article is not a bar on creating a new, different article. Also, I think even if the article remains deleted then a redirect is valid. If you don't agree with me how do I go about having the deletion reviewed by a third party? Dimany (talk) 20:04, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
{{subst:drv2 |page=Andy Lehrer |xfd_page= |reason= }} ~~~~- the redirect was inappropriate (redirects are primarily for page title alternatives) and the recreated articles by a number of Single Purpose Accounts were all on the same subject and the deletion was for lack of notability, the wording does not have to be the identical. An earlier deletion was for use as an attack on a Canadian subject. Shyamal (talk) 02:30, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I was thinking about working up the Water Rail stub. I note that Rasmussen splits indicus. Can you please email me the text, if there is enough to justify it, or let me have the page number if there's not much else, I don't get the impression that this is a generally accepted split, IOC and Robson (Thailand) don't split, although Davidson (Malaysia) does. Do you think it's reasonable to keep it as a ssp for the purposes of Wikipedia? Thanks, Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:43, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I understand that you have used images from my website. I would be willing to provide you with information for images of other species. In addition, I have uploaded high resolution images of others. One example is the Abyssinian Ground Thrush, Zoothera piaggiae.

I'm trying to figure out how to reference a source that has already been used. When I make more than one contribution using the same reference a list of the same reference appears multiple times in the reference box. How can I go about avoiding this? Hope this makes sense. Hle37 (talk) 23:38, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Hle37
Thanks for the reference advice, I finally worked it out. I didn't realize writing and editing on wikipedia could be this confusing.
I am trying organize the layout of the page to look similar to other court cases that include the side box. I was going to copy the code that was found in supreme court cases but realized it wouldn't work since the Kivalina case is currently being appealed to the 9th circuit court of appeals. At first I was going to just copy a picture on a regular side box but the layout didn't look right, is there a template for district court cases?
Dear Shyamal, I just made a mistake and need your support.
I moved the content of the Indo-Chinese leopard article to Indochinese leopard, which I created. Also, I switched contents of Indian Leopard and #REDIRECT Indian leopard. But wasn't aware that this erased the edit histories. Therefore, would you please delete the pages Indochinese leopard and Indian leopard, so that I can move the respective contents as per protocol. Sorry for the inconvenience caused! -- BhagyaMani (talk) 16:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Am afraid that so far it hasn't been fixed. Chipmunkdavis merely undid my copy paste move of the Indo-Chinese leopard article, and then sent me a note. The Indian leopard copy paste move hasn't been detected by anybody yet. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 06:51, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Great! The Indian is perfect now. What I had in mind with the other one is change the title to Indochinese leopard, i.e. without hyphen like Indochina, Indochinese tiger ... And then place the redirect in the Indo-Chinese leopard article. But that's not so very important — I kept the word unhyphened in the text. --BhagyaMani (talk) 19:43, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Again great ! Re naming convention see Lon Grassman's article. Pocock, Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, and MSW3 only use trinominal. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 12:38, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Shyamal/archive20,
Your work as an Online Ambassador is making a big contribution to Wikipedia. Right now, we're trying to measure just how much student work improves the quality of Wikipedia. If you'd like contribute to this research and get a firsthand look at the quality improvement that is happening through the project, please sign up to assess articles. Assessment is happening now, just use the quantitative metric and start assessing! Your help would be hugely appreciated!

Dear Shyamal,
I have just identified another species of this family, which I have found in Northwest Thailand, as Balanophora fungosa.
The plants are very similar. I guess that the picures above, which I have classified as Unidentified Balanophoraceae, are of another Balanophora species or even possibly of the same species.

Dear Shyamal,
The Balanophoraceae from Coorg is for sure a Balanophora species.
I have found a very similar species in Thailand, which I have identified as Balanophora fungosa (see: An underground jackfruit).
I guess the plant, which you have found in the Western Ghats, is a Balanophora indica (Syn. Balanophora fungosa subsp. indica).

A tag has been placed on Curcuma mangga, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.
I'm sorry Shyamal, but something is really wrong with this article. If you can improve it, and save it, please do. Hamamelis (talk) 13:06, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, would you confused Nicobar Pigeon = Nicobar à camail and Liverpool Pigeon = Nicobar ponctué? In fact, in french Nicobar is a vernacular name for birds such some doves and pigeons, and not only a name for the islands where those birds can be found.

I disagree with this approach to the {{cite doi}} template system, which is all about making complex citations more maintainable by keeping them separate and by seeking to share them between multiple articles. On a practical level, you should have subst'd instead of simply switching to {{cite journal}} and having the bot flesh them out because the bot misses stuff that I had manually migrated into the templates, such as links to free copies of the papers and the repair of outright errors.
You seem to be responsible for a great many of the bird articles here, and I'm not specifically focused on such articles other than short-term. I was going to do the last seven inline cites that remain in White-rumped Vulture ("In the Indian subcontinent"), but I'll leave this field to you. fwiw, Cas, who you must know, liked the "doi thingies". 110.139.190.67 (talk) 05:29, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
I've left notes for Casliber and Smith609 (the developer of the citation and doi bots). The {{cite doi}} seems to have thousands of subpages for specific dois and pmids:
You have orphaned some dozens of templates, and lost a lot of cite-detail that is in them and is not in the re-flesh the bot did. Meh; I'm done with vultures, anyway. As you prolly realize, I'm not an inexperienced editor. I've been here a very long time and have made more than 50,000 edits. The core intent here was to illustrate how much the article text can be decluttered by moving the cites out-of-line; for example:
See the many paragraphs that amount to three-quarters citation text and one-quarter prose. That, at least, remains. Bots are tools for rote work, but much of this sort of work really has to be done by hand to be done properly. And, as everyone eventually learns on these projects, everything you do erodes due to the other participants. It's all sandcastles on the beach. 110.139.190.67 (talk) 06:10, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
moar: Egyptian Vulture#Footnotes. The Most of the footnotes no longer properly link to the cited references further down; another mechanism lost in the orphaning of the templates. 110.139.190.67 (talk) 06:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Shyamal,
I've responded to your request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request. You can find links to the three articles you requested at that page.
I see you are uploading right now.Gratifying to see your image being used too. In a recent addition of Antenna (RESL) there were several commons images in an article by Dick Vane-Wright and I have seen many more elsewhere. I have had some very interesting news recently re the (now) species group Leptidea.My e-mail (so long defunct) is now .
