[edit] Broken link to honey image

Hi Shoefly, I looked for the image in this and the German wikipedia and could not find it. I suspect the image has been deleted, possibly for coypright problems, or maybe the uploader was just mad about something (as s ometimes happens). My understanding is that images cannot be restored after deletion, so probably the best thing is to find another image. If you were the uploader, it must have glitched at uploading, or the link is misspelled. Pollinat or 21:32, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. I actually found out that the problem was the use of .JPG instead of .jpg.

[edit] toxicity to bees

Hey shoefly, your article on pesticides and bees is great! Can you please contribute some to the Pesti cide article? You seem to know a ton about the chemical classifications of pesticides, and we could really use some information about that on the Pesticide page. Thanks! Bonus Onus 04:03, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)

cool, thanks for the edit. looks good. Bonus Onus 16:49, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mite and Acarology

Hi. Are you planning on building the Acarology article? If yes, then I'll not touch the wikilink you set up for this term in the Mite article. If you aren't planning on this, then I'd like to remove the wikilink as it creates a self-reference, linking through the redirect from this term back to the Mite article.

Thanks for the information.

[edit] Speedy Deletion: Gigantour

If you're going to nominate an article as a candidate for speedy deletion, it might be a good idea to read the Talk page first. The article is not self-promotion or advertisement, and the Gigantour is a legitimate event much like Big Day Out or Lollapalooza which all deserve articles. It might also be an idea to read this discussion. plattopus^{is this thing on?} 15:50, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

For your information, I have requested assistance to get this article undeleted.

[edit] Image source

Thank you for uploading Image:May red chestnut.jpg. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. Thank you. --Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:34, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Please also do the same for Image:May red chestnut2.JPG, Image:May yellow2.JPG, and Image:May yellow.jpg. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:37, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dadant hybrid bees

Hi,

Do you happen to know whether any bee supply companies are currently providing artificially inseminated queens, advertising their queens as "hybrid" (actually I guess it would be the progeny that are hybrids)? I used to get hybrid queens from A. I. Root in Medina, Ohio. I believe they are out of business now, no? Thanks. P0M 04:30, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I didn't actually want any, I just found it interesting that the old-time commercial suppliers seem to have left the field.

I visited A.I. Root's plant in the mid 50s and found one thing quite interesting. The ladies who inserted the sheets of tissue paper between the sheets of wax did it entirely by feel, it seemed. Most of them had a paperback novel suspended in front of them which they read while they chatted and their hands moved on what seemed to be complete auto-pilot. They had quite a business in those days supplying artificially inseminated queens. Later I went to college and lost contact with the business. I never was sure that the Root queens produced workers that were as gentle as advertised. They stung me plenty. P0M 01:24, 7 September 2005 (UTC)e

[edit] Stingers

Could I ask why you deleted the section on stingers from the honeybee article? DS 01:02, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

It is not deleted just made a new article "bee sting". Shoefly 01:11, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy delete on Data pages for chemical compounds

Hi,

I noticed that you moved all of the supplementary data on toluene on to the main page, and posted a speedy delete for the data page. I have reverted this, after noting that the page was incorrectly named; I have moved it to the correct new name of toluene (data page). The data page for chemical compounds is a standard part of the infobox, this is our way at WP:Chem of keeping less important data available but out of the main article (the article on toluene gets a lot of users, I believe). By moving the data tables to the main article space the article begins to look like a set of data tables rather than an encyclopedia. This policy (data pages) was the result of about one month of extensive peer review at the WikiProject, so please don't speedy delete such pages without first posting something on the relevant talk page. If you think the policy on data pages is wrong, please raise the subject with the relevant WikiProjects. Walkerma 04:25, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for yesterday's reply on my talk page. Hey, that's an interesting idea you're trying out on acetone, adding the data page to the "see also" section! We had a long debate about making the link to it obvious without it spoiling the look of the page. Now we'll see if one of my colleagues from WP:Chem reverts it....! Cheers, Walkerma 05:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Buffer overflow peer-review

Hey, looking for reviewers for this article:

It would be great to have lots of input from different sources. - Tompsci 19:11, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Thank you for your contributions. And I have a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries more often when you contribute. An edit summary helps others understand what you changed when checking the watchlist or the recent changes, and often times complements studying the diff. Think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. I hope you don't mind. :) Cheers – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Bees bearding.JPG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bees bearding.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Longhair 12:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Blue2.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear.

You're done with this one, thanks very much! (A very cool picture, I'm glad we were able to keep it) Stan 23:03, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Ucan-ari1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ucan-ari1.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Dethomas 16:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Siteabelhavoo2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Siteabelhavoo2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

You say you "received his approval", but for what? To license under GFDL? To license under a version of Creative Commons? To put in the public domain? We must use one of the standard licenses, because they cover all the legal angles, such as commercial use in printed version of WP. Just a "permission to use in WP" is completely insufficient. Stan 23:01, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

{{cc-by}} is the most restrictive available I think, but in any case you would have to send another message to the photographer, so you might as well send him links to our articles on each license, let him choose from them. Stan 23:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bees, bees and more bees

Hi Shoefly!

Please have a look at Queen bee and try not to be cross! I haven't lost any of the copy at all, but I've put all the rellevant material under one heading, because this is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. I figured that if someone (me, perhaps) wants to know about bees, then they don't want to have to look up four different articles just to find out about one topic, namely queen bees.

I think that if all the articles on Honey bee were put together, it would probably be much too long as there is a lot of information there. On the other hand, I think that possibly three articles on Honeybees, plus another on honey and another on beeswax would be preferable to about twenty seperate articles, some of which are only a few lines long. At this point in time, I haven't deleted the material from the other articles, just copied it all to Queen bee. Can you take a look?

[edit] And more bees...

Hi - I've just set up Wikipedia:WikiProject Beekeeping, and was wondering if you'd like to join. It is, of course, open to anybody - feel free to list your name on the project page! Thanks, M a rtinp23 12:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
