[edit] wikiproject fungi
Woohoo! A new member of wikiproject fungi! welcome! (has been pretty quiet for a while). Any favourite mushrooms?cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:53, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Mmmm, I'm particularly fond of bioluminescent mushrooms and fungi. And portobello burgers. ;) Sorchah 02:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

- Aha - I've got Agaricus bisporus on my to-do list to get up to FA status - dunno if you've seen the whole FA thingy (see WP:FA and WP:FAC). Also, did take a cool picture of the aussie Omphalotus nidiformis glowing away (It grows all round Sydney) - could try the same for the Jack-o-lantern over there. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

- The Agaricus bisporus article looks pretty good. How long do you think it'll take to get up to FA status? Sorchah 06:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

- Less time if two or more of us get stuck into it. I haven't looked at it closely for awhile but will start to compile a to-do list on the talk page. Any ideas would be welcomed. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:16, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia sections
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Fitzcarraldo. Thank you. (diff)
Also, please have a look at WP:TRIVIA, especially "This guideline does not suggest removing trivia sections". Sections tagged with {{Trivia}} are not to be deleted wholesale but their content progressively merged in the article, or moved to the target articles, or removed one by one with a rationale in edit summary. Thank you. — Komusou talk @ 02:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adoption?
I noticed you want help with Adoption and all that. I'd be glad to help, drop me a line anytime you decide to. Onnaghar talk ! review 18:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
I'd also be willing to adopt you. Take your pick, and drop us a line. Peace, The Hybrid T/C 06:55, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
