Crown vetch -- lotus?

Can you please help me find which exact species the yellow flower I mistakenly identified as crown vetch is? You say lotus, but I am not sure which species within Lotus it is. Thank you. Emanla Eraton 17:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Euphor(b)ia

Your plant photographs, particularly of Euphorbia species, are fantastic! My bot, Polbot, has been creating new articles on species listed at the IUCN, and I've been adding images whenever one exists on Commons. And yours are very well done, and significantly contribute to the articles. Thanks! – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 19:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

About your site

Hallo, Frank, ich habe Dir vor einigen Monaten eine E-mail geschickt bezüglich einer eventuellen Übersetzung Deiner Seite ins Spanische. Das würde ich gerne und kostenlos machen; ich glaube es ist wert, dass alle diese Informationen auch auf spanisch zu finden sind.

Danke für die Korrektur bei Mammillaria cadereytensis.

Hallo Kauderwelsch, Deine E-Mail ist nicht bei mir angekommen. Bei etwa hundert Spam-Mails am Tag muss ich leider sehr stark filtern und dabei geht schon mal lesenswerte Post verloren. Probiere es bitte nochmals und wähle den Name meiner Webseite als Betreff. Danke und Gruß, ----Ies (talk) 17:36, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello here

I looked at Euphorbia here and see that you do edit pages here and thought that I should leave an apology here for suggesting that you adopt a species here on another wiki. -- carol (talk) 08:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Euphorbiae canariensis

I attempted to expand the article for Senecio kleinia. Actually, I did expand it. Euphorbia canariensis is a plant that grows with it. The relationship was interesting. There is a paper about it which is unfortunately written in Spanish and the translation software is not so familiar with the words. This article is the one single instance in which I linked to a gallery at the commons instead of a Category as well (which is quite interesting given all of the other situations going on here and there).

Perhaps you could take on that Euphorbia article? And any changes that should be made to the Senecio article -- this is the single experience I have with writing about succulents. -- carol (talk) 09:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Die Schachteln in den Schachteln von den Schachteln

Einigermaßen fasziniert schaue ich zu, wie immer mehr Unterkategorien erfunden werden, die sich in Subkategorien von Kategorien befinden. Kaum jeh logisch oder konsistent, immer verschachtelt und für den User schwer durchschaubar. Ist "Userfriendlyness" in Wikipedia überhaupt noch ein angestrebter Wert? Mit möglichst wenig Klicks zum gewünschten Ergebnis?? Und in der letzten Schachtel findet sich dann letzlich nur noch die eine Schachtel selbst. Aber noch mal einen Klick entfernt. Intranzparenz rulez!! Meiner Erfahrung nach anscheinend eine deutsch-österreichische Krankheit. Woher kommt dieser fatale Trend? Wer/was leitet da zu an? Bitte um Aufklärung! Zyance (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 15:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Um welche Schachteln geht es? Wovon schreibst Du eigentlich? Hier in der englische WP mache ich kaum etwas, und Kategorisieren nun gar nicht. Kann es sein, dass Du mit Kategorien große Probleme hast, weil es Dir schon schwer fällt, dass, worum es Dir geht, halbwegs verständlich auszudrücken? -- Ies (talk) 20:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Cyathium image...source?

Hello, Les. I've greatly enjoyed your image of the cyathium. I was hoping that you have published it in some journal so that I may be able to cite it? After heavy searching, I have found no other image that so adequately covers the anatomy of the cyathium. Thanks much! Macaddict10 (talk) 05:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Monadenium spectabile ies.jpg

File:Monadenium spectabile ies.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Monadenium spectabile ies.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Monadenium spectabile ies.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 21:54, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Photo usage

Hi, I've been working on a small game built around animal quizzes and I wanted to let you know I've used one of your pictures.

I found your picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dactylopius_coccus_(Barlovento)_04_ies.jpg

And I attributed the picture like this: Frank Vincentz and also added a link to the license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en

I hope you're happy with it, please let me know if this is not the case. You can find the game here: http://apps.facebook.com/animalalbum Or through here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnimalAlbum/156339584490672

Kind regards, Garfunkel Jansen (talk) 09:46, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Thanks for taking the picture and making it available.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ies. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ies~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
