[edit] Hoyt Arboretum

Hi Nickpdx. I noticed you deleted a sentence out of the Arboretum article. It was

Twelve miles of trails crisscross the 185 acres of the arboretum.

I'm wondering why you felt this was worth deleting. Normally one would write such things in the edit summary, but you left it blank, so I'm curious. By the way, thanks for correcting the spelling of McClay. Overlooked that last time I was there. —EncMstr 03:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing the redundant information there, but hadn't paid attention. Guess I've been "deconstructing" the article so much, I haven't looked for duplicate information. Thanks for cleaning it up. EncMstr 06:14, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your pictures of the Darlingtonia Botanical Wayside

Hi Nickpdx. I am a user of the German Wikipedia and I have seen the very good pictures you made at the Darlingtonia Botanical Wayside. Especially the photo of the plants themselves is very interesting, as it illustrates in an impressive manner the large amount of plants which can be found at natural stands. Thus I have transferred the images to the commons, you can see them here now: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Darlingtonia_californica (they are deleted now in en).

As I am right now working on an article concerning the plants and my goal is to make it a featured article, I have integrated it there (Darlingtonia). Regrettably the picture is rather small (800 x 600 / 210 Kb), so I want to ask you, if the original is maybe larger (you might have reduced it in size?) and if this is the case, if you maybe could upload the larger version too? This would be great,

Best regards, Denisoliver

[edit] Thank you

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say, "Nice picture!" and thank you for uploading Image:DSC03699.JPG. Let me know if I can ever be of any help. --Hetar 05:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
