Welcome!

HEY COMRADE, DON'T TOUCH TURANISM PAGE AGAIN, YOU'RE NOT A TURANIST SO FUCK UP!

Hello, I just got a (laughably) stern message from you for having edited the page on French cuisine. I did not appreciate this message. I'm going to go write a response in the talk section of the French cuisine article. Please check it out.

Follow up: For the record, there was vandalism on the French cuisine page when I edited it; I think, however, this was my own fault for having an older version of the page in my cache. When I went to fix the vandalism, I also fixed the bad sentence. Which, incidentally, you put back; and my concerns about which you have not addressed. But, if you see it as your mission to go around defending ineloquent and uninformative sentences, be my guest! Who am I to argue with your clear and apparent genius? The online community owes its very existence to heroic acts by condescending assholes like you. 128.12.66.132 22:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] fr:Cèdre à encens

Thanks for correcting my French errors at fr:Cèdre à encens! One small point, I noticed the link fr:Calocedrus decurrens is a redirect back to the page - MPF 01:05, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ok I will create a stub about Calocedrus decurrens.Pixeltoo 01:22, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Metasequoia honshuenensis

Hi Pixeltoo - yes; the Flora of China reference states "Name appeared after publication of the family treatment for the Flora of China", so they had not had the opportunity to investigate it at the time they went to publication. They are merely listing the name as having been published, without comment. The Kew World Checklist and Bibliography of Conifers (2nd edition 2003) dismisses it, as it also does Silba's "Metasequoia neopangaea" ("discovered" in a University gardens in New York!). The type specimen of "M. honshuenensis" is from a planted tree Riverside Municipal Park, near Grants Pass in Oregon; there is no evidence at all that it originates from any source other than the 1948 introduction from China. Silba is infamous among conifer taxonomists for his ludicrous proliferation of "new" taxa (of which there are dozens in his "Journal of the International Conifer Preservation Society", an unreviewed self-published publication - MPF 22:58, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi Pixeltoo - "I saw many other Araucaria taxons discovered by Silba in New Caledonia. Are they all factitious ?". There are 13 New Caledonia species (none named by Silba) accepted by the Kew Checklist and other botanists; others described by Silba are best ignored - MPF 23:25, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

...on Onomatopoeia. I had to switch back and forth several times between the revisions before I saw the difference. I have deleted the image and warned the vandal. Kind regards, — mark ✎ 16:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

It was a mishap, I meant to save it as DualCitizenMap.PNG, but I typed the name first then selected the file, which overwrote my custom name, without me noticing. When I noticed I didn't really care. I'll move it again to there then. +Hexagon1 (talk) 12:32, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
