[edit] List of molluscs recorded in Poland and Cleanup-translation tl

Hi. Could you explain, why did you remove {{Cleanup-translation}} template from List of molluscs recorded in Poland article [1]? Visor (talk · contribs) 09:31, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

There was template that "page needs translation into English" but the page DOES NOT need translation. It is in English. There is just list with scientific names and with Polish names. There is no need nothing more. There is just need to expand list and article from malacological point of view. --Snek01 09:57, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I think that names of these species should be in English, not a native language of the list. Visor (talk · contribs) 10:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Maybe you are right. The names can surely be in English. But it can be very useful to have got such names in vernacular language too (for practical purposes). Compare it with List of molluscs recorded in The Czech Republic. I think you should not delete vernacular names and I believe that today's list is all right. Or we can discuss it on some project, for example Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods or Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists. You can see that it is useful to have got vernacular names in locally related lists, for example: List of tallest buildings in Hong Kong. Maybe good choose could be to expand the list to table with scientific, locally vernacular name and English name. But I do not know how to add families to such table. I have to read more about it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists. --Snek01 13:16, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Helicoidea

Hi, Snek! I, too, and a snail fan.

I have a question about the Helicoidea article. Do you recall the information source for the list of families? To mention an area I'm somewhat familiar with, I would have expected to see the polygyrids and thysanophorans in the Polygyroidea rather than in the Helicoidea.

Thanks very much for the refs, Snek. I fear I'm considerably out of date. Still waiting for the next Ponder & Lindberg (due out in 4 months, I think)! Tim Ross·talk 11:35, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

OK, Snek, thanks for the heads up. Perhaps you can help me remove the categories I put in that are redundant. Sorry about that. I don't understand quite how the category system is actually supposed to work right now within the Mollusca: I imagine ultimately it is supposed to be a complete nesting system of hierachies, arranged according to the taxonomy, but right now it is not functioning that way.

Another thing I have been attempting to do today is to change some of the category "Snail" listings. I personally do not think that "Snail" is a useful category. What do you think? Invertzoo (talk) 16:58, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you 100% on the categories "Snail" and "Slug"; I think they are useless categories. I also agree with you on the idea of using the gastropod families as a category, because the higher levels of taxonomy are way too much in flux right now. I think I remember someone saying that the family category idea is not good because there would be many hundreds of them, but I do not really see why that is such a problem.
Can I ask you why it is those succiniid articles of yours appeared in the Category:Snails when I looked that up?
We may not be able to get those categories deleted, but we can at least remove the category tags "Snails" in those articles that have that, that is what I am doing now.

[edit] Subtitle wiki

Hi, I'm contacting you here because I suspect you don't check the foolip.org/wiki so often. I think a subtitling wiki would be a really good idea and I'm trying to find some way to not have to host the wiki myself. Are you interested in subtitling old Chinese films yourself?

[edit] Template:NHM

Hello. I was wondering if you could tell me what your intention was with {{NHM}}. Your edit summaries when placing it make it sound like you think the images should be deleted, but I cannot tell. If you wish for the images to be considered for deletion, considering tagging them with a deletion template or listing them at WP:IFD. Thanks. - AWeenieMan (talk) 04:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for note. It is just an information template. What to do with those images is not decided yet. I have updated the template according the same template at wikipedia commons. --Snek01 (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. - AWeenieMan (talk) 01:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Skype

I agree that Skype is not a great medium to spread free culture, specifically it assumes a fast computer and internet connection, as well as being located in the "correct" nation. However, a large number of Wikipedians do use Skype, and for purposes of facilitating community/Board discussions, I see it, along with IRC, listserv, onwiki forums, etc as viable means to reach the goal of greater Board transparency. Thank you for taking the time to participate in these elections. MBisanz talk 23:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
