[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Plants!

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Plants! Our scope includes any and all taxa of plants, botanists, and botany topics. We're glad to have you working with us on our project!

A few features that you might find helpful:

Here are some easy ways you can contribute:

  • Images: There are articles that need images. You can search Wikimedia Commons for images. When you find one, add it to the Wikipedia article in the taxobox and remove the "needs-photo=yes" parameter from the project banner on the talk page of the article. You could also help identify plant photos on Commons.
  • Taxobox: We also have articles that need taxoboxes. See the taxobox usage guide for information on how to add a taxobox. When complete, don't forget to remove the "needs-taxobox=yes" parameter from the talk page banner.
  • Stubs: Consider expanding one of our stubs or create one of our requested articles.
  • Assessment: You could also help assess our unassessed articles.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page or the project at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Rkitko (talk) 02:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dipterocarps

Thanks for the fixes on the Dipt pages. The plan is to get all Dipts onto Wikipedia (and check the ones listed there – as there were/are a few synonyms) and link these to IUCN redlist pages. Some Dipts are currently not on the IUCN redlist - however, Ashton (2004) lists them as endangered/vulnerable – so is it okay to use this source? I could check with Peter to see why he didn’t include them on his IUCN assessment and get confirmation from him as to their status.

After that I then hope to try and sort out the Dipt biology/general information and have a range of photos (mainly Sabah Dipts) to upload.

I’m off to a conference (Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation – Asian Chapter) in Kuching, Sarawak in April 2008 and was wondering if you want to promote the WikiProject:Plants there – thru a poster presentation. In general the pages covering tropical plants/ecology are fairly bare (with the exception of the Durian page) and could do with the input of a few tropical biologist.

No problem. I wanted to thank you for your contributions there. You're beginning to fill in an area we sorely need to. Fantastic stub creation. I just made sure there were stub notices and categories. Keep up the good work! On the poster presentation, perhaps that's something you could bring up at WT:PLANTS and see what other editors think. It might be a good idea, since a lot of academics view Wikipedia as unreliable. And sometimes it is, but that's all the more reason for more academics to get involved! Anyway, go ahead and propose the idea to the other members of WP:PLANTS and see what they think. If you ever need my help with anything, just ask :-) Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 02:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
