New fern initiative

I have laid down plans for a project to improve fern coverage at Wikipedia:WikiProject Pteridophytes/Northeastern America Initiative. Since you've contributed a great deal of material on Cystopteris bulbifera and Diplazium pycnocarpon, I thought you might be interested. Choess (talk) 06:45, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your thoughtful message. As you can see, I've been plowing into an expansion of your nice A. ebenoides article. I'm a bio instructor at a technical college in the mid-Atlantic, and an amateur botanist. I don't usually range as far afield as Canada, but I do get into Maine in the summer. (One of the things the field guide omits, unfortunately, is coverage of the Gaspé Peninsula and Newfoundland, which have some remarkable disjunct fern species.) More pictures are certainly welcome; I hope to get some unusual spleenworts from the Susquehanna ravines this summer. In the long term, as descriptions become more detailed in these articles, I think it would be nice to have some more detailed pictures that help the reader to identify the species and distinguish it from similar ones. See this photo and really, much of Alan Cressler's photostream, to get a sense of what I'm thinking of. I hope to continue to see you working among the ferns, as our schedules permit. I know doing work on Wikipedia feels a bit like shouting into a void sometimes—one of the reasons I wanted to start this "initiative" was to make the process of assembling these articles a bit less lonely.

Disambiguation link notification for August 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dryopteris aemula, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Oceanic and Aiton. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
