[edit] iron deficiency

Shouldn't that be at Banksia#In_the_garden, rather? it seems silly to add it to every articles. Circeus 17:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Possibly, though it is particularly bad with these two and has been documented as such. I miht try and rephrase all 3 bits. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, it makes more sense now. Maybe make it clearer that they are more sensitive than other Banksias? Circeus 22:25, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind that. I had not actually reviewed my watchlist completely. Circeus 22:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

No probs - I've learnt it from painful experience....alot of WA (where most banksias grow) is alkaline, but all of NSW is mildly acid. increasing soil pH means lower iron availability and chance of yellowing...and %&(^$%^( builders and renovators leave friggin' cement everywhere, many gardens have this problem :( cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Hope you can help…

[edit] Thank you so much, dear Cas!

Thank you for all that you have done!
How much love resides therein!
All one's gifts are never gone:
Not seen, perhaps, but stored within.
Kindness is an inner sun.

Your unspent heart a message sends
Of grace and sacrifice hard-won
Upon which happiness depends!

Thank you so much, dear Cas! :)

Love,
Phaedriel

[edit] Ediacaran biota FA review

Hi, just to say thanks for taking the time to review this article, and for your comment! Much appreciated. Verisimilus T 09:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A few things

Hi Cas. First, Bobcat is up. At FAR you suggested you might work on Belgrade or Warsaw. Yomangani has done some work on the latter, and I notice you got busy on the former a week ago. Just keep us informed when you think its good. Also, I've been leaving the whale up in the review section as I guess it can avoid FARC.

So what's next on the animal front? I actually may be animal-ed out for the timebeing. I was thinking of trying Europa next, for a change. Marskell 14:30, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Funny you should choose Europa as I mused on it when I first noted someone working on Io. I began working on Belgrade but the main thing it needs is someone with one of those books to start citing things rather than all the websites. It does actually look better than some recent city FACs. The Warsaw one I looked at but it seemed to be in the process of being reorganized so I left it until that was settled. I don't know much about it so wouldn't know too much about what to emphasise. I started reorganizing Bipolar Disorder along the lines of schizophrenia but I am fearing another Belgium quagmire, though no-one has gotten unhappy yet. I also liked the idea of getting Sirius up as an FA too. At present I am trying to get up Banksia ericifolia, Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (though I feel a bit stuck on how to proceed with this one) and Clozapine all in dribs and drabs...cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] congrats

Fungal Barnstar Awarded to CasLiber for pushing Amanita phalloides into Featured status, the first for the project.

Cheers! Debivort 20:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the barnstar!

Thanks! See you in a few weeks! Sheep81 06:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah - maybe we'll do Tarbosaurus next - that was my real favourite.cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Could this fit in somewhere?

My article-writing skills aren't the best right now and I don't often know which bits of information really matter and I'm wondering about this:

Relationship of Parent and Child Informants to Prevalence of Mania Symptoms in Children With a Prepubertal and Early Adolescent Bipolar Disorder Phenotype

It basically says that children do become euphoric while manic and that those studies didn't find that should have asked the children instead of just their parents.--Rmky87 17:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I didn't mean everything, just the part that about euphoria and grandiosity being present contrary to common belief. The section currently says that it simply doesn't conforms to adult criteria and I just thought it should be more specific.--Rmky87 03:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ocean sunfish

Hey, thanks for excellent comments you left at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Ocean_sunfish. I have addressed almost all of them. Would you mind taking a look again at ocean sunfish? Thanks! Fred Hsu 18:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! Fred Hsu 02:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Hi Cas,

Thanks very much for the kindly awarded star. It's very much appreciated. I'm afraid my knowledge of personality disorders is a little more cursory than my knowledge of the Axis I diagnoses but I'll certainly keep tabs on it, and the bipolar article, to see how they develop and see if I can pitch in where I can. Pleasure working with you!

All the best - Vaughan 11:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

		The 25 DYK Medal
		Great job! You have now reached 25 DYK contributions, so I present you this medal. Wear it well! Regards, Anonymous Dissident^Talk 10:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Great job! Excellent. By the way, how is the Blue Whale FAR going? I was hoping to help more, but I was unsure where I could help. Thanks, Anonymous Dissident^Talk 10:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Keller

Image has been reinstated and i would request you revert this edit. Jaakobou 23:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

OK Done, would have been quicker to do it yourself than to write to me...(not that I mind) :) cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

article is locked (with good reason), so i had to turn to you :) Jaakobou 00:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot about that and remember now.cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No more cowardice

Oh hell, I am going to go and try Lion. No more cowardly hanging about with half-size cats. But I can't do it alone. There's simply been too much written about the beast. Marskell 13:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Nah, easy peasy - anything shorter than schizophrenia's ok...cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] spinulosa

Cas, I'm going to have to withdraw from the "spinulosa for FA" push for a little while. The regular schedule of my life is about to be disrupted by a personally momentous event. In fact the disruption has already begun; as of a few weeks ago my edit rate has plummeted. I'll continue to edit in dribs and drabs, but dribs and drabs does not a good collaboration make. Hopefully I'll be back up to speed in a few months. I'll email you with a less cryptic version of this message. ;-) Hesperian 05:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sounds like a season to get Lion to FA!

Hey, I just wanted to inform you that I would be only too happy to contribute to the Lion article in an attempt to get it the covetted (but somewhat small ;) gold star. Unfortunately, because I am on holiday, and have only a very short period of time in internet access, I will probably be unable to make any significant contributions until my return to my house on the 14th. However, I wish all of you involved good luck in improving and refurbishing the article, and I would be glad to give the article a great deal of my attention upon my return. Cheers, -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:38, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lion

Done, as requested. On my screen, it kind of broke up the brackets around the ref number, I will try and fix it, but please take a look. Danny 07:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My 1 1/2 cents worth

“

The lion was a prominent symbol in both the Babylonian and Neo-Babylonian Empires. The symbolism was appropriated by Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq for their Lion of Babylon tank, adapted from a Russian model.

Kimba the White Lion was the first Japanese colour TV animation series, released in the 60s. More recently, animated lions proved popular in The Lion King, which featured the popular song The Lion Sleeps Tonight in its soundtrack.

”

I'll try to expand on this, especially the Babylonian angle. Alastair Haines 08:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Great. Interesting angles. Have fun. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Good work recruiting contributions, Cas, just magic seeing everyone chip in. :D Alastair Haines 00:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you revert my edits to the akathisia article?

What interest do you have in this subject? Why not discuss on the talk page your objections to what was added point for point instead of just reverting? Dr CareBear 02:39, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Because this has been repeatedly discussed before. Writing sensational accounts of people's accounts in cars is definitely not encyclopedic in tone. I have acknowledged some material you've written and left what is common and important to talk about, however some of it is way over the top. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

It is just common sense and a known fact that dysphoria can lead to suicide attempts. Why would you NEED a reference for that? The United States FDA requires a package warning on SSRI's that they can cause suicide in children but the antipsychotics are far worse for causing akathisia then antidepressants. Dr CareBear 03:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

The relationship of akathisia with suicidality and depersonalization among patients with schizophrenia.

Cem Atbasoglu E, Schultz SK, Andreasen NC.

Department of Psychiatry, Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey. atbasoglu@superonline.com

An association of suicidality and depersonalization with akathisia has been reported, but it is not clear whether these phenomena are specific to akathisia or are nonspecific manifestations of distress. The authors used the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (Ham-D) to examine the relationships between suicidality, depersonalization, dysphoria, and akathisia in 68 patients with schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder. Akathisia was associated with higher scores on the Ham-D ratings of suicidality, depersonalization, and agitation. In a logistic regression model, depressive mood and subjective awareness of akathisia appeared to be the only predictors of suicidality and depersonalization, respectively. These findings support the association between akathisia and both suicidality and depersonalization. However, these symptoms appear to be nonspecific responses to accompanying depressive mood and the subjective awareness of the akathisia syndrome, respectively.

[edit] B. ericifolia

Ever since I you first asked me to give it a quick look I've kept it on my watchlist (as should be reasonably obvious from my copyediting of your and Hesperian's additions) and haven't seen much to complain about. Kudos for your work on Lion and Blue Whale. We need as many "layman" FAs as possible. I'd appreciate if you could yourself provide an extra set of eyes at Ailanthus altissima, which User:Djlayton4 has been working on to a great result and asked me me to review. I have done so, but another opinion is always welcomed. Circeus 07:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

A possible idea for the cultivars issue might be to have a master List of Banksia cultivars that can be referred to from all Banksia articles, with the most relevant data (e.g.main variation in cultivars, plus prominent ones) kept in the species article? Circeus 07:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Laptopless

I do plan to dig in on Lion, but my editing time is limited due to a computer malfunction. I've been thinking I really ought to go to Felidea and/or Panthera and try to get the taxonomy right there first. But it isn't going to be easy... There are clear contradictions, even in very recent papers. Marskell 08:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FAC:

Done - all my concerns have been fixed, so I've changed my vote to support. Cheers, Spawn Man 07:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Lol! I thought you were making some crude sexual joke there for a second before I noticed the link to Allosaurus! Anyway, I'm only editing here occasionally for a while until I pick up interest again, so I don't know when I'll get around to it. Besides, my family gave me a whole bunch of older books (40 years old is old riight? ;) predominantly about history, so I'll probably stick to that if I do indeed make any article edits in the near future. Anyway, see ya - Spawn Man 12:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey, there, Yomangani left a (really funny) message on my talk page about possible plans to bring Beagle to FAC. Since I apparently was off the mark on Guinea pig, I want to be sure you also have a look—going to peek at it now. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:58, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
