Hey, you are welcome for the welcome.

> I'm from Central California, but I'll be moving to the Bay Area in August, so I'll probably get more opportunities to go hunting, heh.

I live in the bay area. The season here starts in November.

I went mushroom hunting this weekend; Here are a few of the pics:

It is extremely casual.

I started around January this year. Its really fun!

You could...

1) Find an article on mushrooms and make it better

2) Write an article on mushrooms that isn't here yet. I would like every mushroom to have a page on wikipedia, and in 50 years, they all will. I noticed that only one Panaeolus had a wikipedia page, so I created several more.

3) Research an interesting area of mycology, and add what you learn to the appplicable article

4) Find mushroom articles without pictures and attempt to locate a free picture that you can put in there

5) Photograph the mushrooms that you do find, and if there is no wikipedia article on that species or no pic in the article, put the pic in there.

6) Upload pictures of mushrooms that you take to wikimedia commons and mushroomobserver.org

7) Work on the wikipedia project fungi stuff, they focus on one or two articles each month.

I find that I learn a lot when editing wikipedia, another great reason to do it.

Good job on the MSSF article. Maybe I will see you at the next meeting. Usually we hang out and talk for a few hours afterwards.

[edit] Info War

I have decided to contact various (and I trust, neutral) administrators and users over a subject that I have followed very closely, but in fear of my own reputation, will not reveal my identity in association with. I would have to say that I am now very concerned.

It may have come to your attention that a lot of information has been removed from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult-child_sex / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Adult-child_sex, with barely any discussion or consensus. The article started off very much like that archived by another user: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tlatosmd/Adult-child_sex. Although there were many users voting for and contributing to similar versions, most of the controversial anthropological material was removed at times of low interest, with the article eventually being wiped from the server by the admin Herostratus, and turned in to a links page: again without any discussions. Now, only a tiny bit of the old article remains, on the clumsily and swiftly re-named http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult-older_teen_sex / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Adult-older_teen_sex.

My own instinct would be to call this out as an information "purge" and ask for a revert at the very least, so that we can discuss any changes in the usual way, or with a vote such as the one which gave the green light to the now absent article. 208.131.130.235 (talk) 17:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ACS

You and I both got a message (from 208.131.130.235 regarding the Adult-child sex article and all it's incarnations. I would like to point out that an effort to rerite this article back into a thorough, referenced, and NPOV (truly NPOV, not PAW-POV) has been undertaken recently. The hope is to take information and references from past versions that were somewhat stable (or at least good-quality) and piece them together, reference and re-reference them, and expand upon the article in general.
You can see that effort here.
Further, I would invite you to join in it's rewriting effort. Any assistance in expanding and referencing would be quite appreciated.
With any luck (editor help), this can be completed before February and completely replace the ACS article through superior content (and somehow fight off the "Big Three" that irradicated the original article).
Thoughts and comment welcome. VigilancePrime (talk) 01:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

I noticed your participation in discussions about this user, or similar articles to those which he was seemingly banned for editing.
