Thanks for having a look at this great little plant. By the way, a fellow Wikipedia editor and I are climbing Mount Imlay sometimes in the spring. We hope to photograph the near extinct Imlay Mallee. As well as look at the Imlay Boronia and the gully rainforest to the south. I was there last November and became geographically discombobulated (despite considerable planning). In fact it all worked out fine, when walking out of the gully. That was after sliding down the steep side of the rocky gully to get to the rainforest in the first place, (not recommended). 

Published reports of Atherosperma & Pittosporum bicolor at Imlay are apparently not correct. As are fanciful rumours of the Myrtle Beech at the two hectare Mount Imlay rainforest. Last time there I saw several native privet. A.G. Floyd only saw one. But I didn't have the presence of mind to photograph them. The only problem with this guy coming along is his 170 IQ, he makes me feel very silly in comparison. In the unlikely event you have free time. You are most welcome to come along.

== DYK count ==

Hi Casliber, I was thinking about putting myself on the [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of DYKs]]. I have a list on my user page [[User:Invertzoo#"Did You Know?" pieces on the Main Page]]. I know that one of them was only a nomination (and it's possible that one other I did a lot of work on but was not listed as an author) but anyway it adds up to more than 25. Do you know how I could check to see exactly what my count should be? Many thanks, [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 01:18, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

:''(groan)'' I don't know of any way except laboriously going through your talk page to count all the awards, and any others that might have been - if you count 35 with a split of 34 expansion and 1 nom, then that is a good start, so I was [[WP:BOLD|bold]] and stuck you on the page. If you find others you want to add, you can just do so (I guess....) :) [[User:Casliber|Casliber]] ([[User talk:Casliber|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Casliber|contribs]]) 02:42, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

::I have kept track of my DYK count so I know how many it is, except for the fact that my count may be one too high. There aren't any more of mine tucked away anywhere as far as I know.

:::Neat! I don't know enough about the Au breeders for her to ring a bell, but seems she knew what she was doing, as the bloodlines are very nice!  I don't know if you are into bloodline stuff at all, but there's good stuff there.   Some connections:  AK Sirhalima was imported from the USA, by the Egyptian import to the US, [[Ansata Ibn Halima]], just for starters.  He was what they call "straight Egyptian" from a quick glance at his pedigree, and there's a lot of black in the Egyptian lines, particularly those of his dam.  In particular, his bottom line goes to the horses of [[Henry Babson]], who was an interesting fellow.  Bright Emerald is heavily descended from horses of the [[Crabbet Arabian Stud]].  Her sire, Ralvon Pilgrim, may be close to 100% Crabbet, though to prove it I'd have to get anal enough to check to see if a few of the UK horses were Blunt/Wentworth's or not.  His dam line looks to go to some of the oldest Australian bloodlines out there.  Her dam, Nike, has some really old Au bloodlines too, all also go to the UK, many to Crabbet and there to the desert, some interesting horses there. Looks like she was one of the earlier folks to do the Egyptian/Crabbet crossbreeding that is now quite popular down there.  Anyhow, the whole Crabbet saga is a great human interest story due to the people who got it going ([[Wilfrid Scawen Blunt]] and [[Lady Anne Blunt]], a descendant of [[Ada Lovelace]] and [[Lord Byron]], she being the one who "got it" about the horses, followed by their only child, [[Lady Wentworth]].   W. Blunt created enough soap opera to fill at least a good miniseries)   OK, so you didn't ask about any of this, but it's cool.

:::::Double cool!  Then note [[Marbach stud]].  Ralvon Pilgrim reminds me of a Crabbet-bred stallion who was quite the mega-horse here in the 60s and early 70s, Serafix.  Very nice horse, lovely neck and shoulder, in particular.  Much more substance than AIH, who was a bit too "dry" for my tastes.  The Au Arabs overall have done a nice job of keeping substance and athleticism, something that has gotten hit or miss in the US as breeding for specialization has gotten a little out of control, especially in the [[halter (horse show)]] world, where all the breeds, not just Arabs, seem to be going the way of dog breeders and making Bonsai designer creatures for the in-hand classes that are unridable and in some cases, [[HYPP|physically unhealthy]].

Howdy,

You make my articles look so much better! Thanks again. Today, I am happy to find a very rare plant ''in situ''. According to A.G. Floyd there's only 203 of them in the wild. A twig of [[Pherosphaera fitzgeraldii]] by the side of the creek, under a waterfall at Leura in the Blue Mountains. The National Parks & Wildlife Service have been advised. Maybe I can try to get the twig to sprout roots, if I attempt to grow it from a cutting. Horticulture is not a strong point of mine. But it looks very green and healthy, and there's a slim chance it might survive. [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 05:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

== pending comments ==

RE your suggestion of a trial on all BLP articles, how many BLP articles have we got? I am wondering if that would be statistically possible and what do you think it would find out that we don't know from the BLP articles so far trialled ? [[User:Off2riorob|Off2riorob]] ([[User talk:Off2riorob|talk]]) 16:50, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

:We had under 2000 pages in the trial apparently, and lots of keen editors to try Pending Changes, hence it would be intriguing to see how things go when the novelty wears off ''and'' with a "few" more articles. I think the problems outweigh the benefits in any other type of article just about. The big question is whether you need to protect against vandalism or not. Alternative to more trialling is ditch it altogether. [[User:Casliber|Casliber]] ([[User talk:Casliber|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Casliber|contribs]]) 20:55, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
::Hm, thanks for the comment. Presently I am unable to really get a clear understanding of what is actually the plus and minus, there seems little interest somehow, reminds me of the checkuser and oversight election and following RFC, as you say there is always the ''ditch it'' option, regards. [[User:Off2riorob|Off2riorob]] ([[User talk:Off2riorob|talk]]) 21:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
:::Aargh, this is too intense...I just woke up and need a [[coffee]] to think about these things. The issue I think is the utility - I think it was an enlightening trial. I think you're having difficulties getting an understanding of what is actually the plus and minus because it is a grey area. I haven't followed the discussion that much. Be interesting to see what outsiders (i.e. IPs) think. For me that is critical - did we lose a bunch of people who couldn't see their edits appear instantly, or gain some who were happier to get something into a 'pending' slot on what would otherwsie be a semiprotected article? That is what I wonder. [[User:Casliber|Casliber]] ([[User talk:Casliber|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Casliber|contribs]]) 21:06, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
:::: As yet I am informed that not one unconfirmed user has commented in the closing discussion as to whether they like it or not, another question is, did the vandals like it? Personally, I stopped requesting semi protection and started requesting pending as the first step which allows more contributions from unconfirmed users but what percentage of those contributions required reverting I am yet to discover, anyways, good morning and enjoy your coffee.

Hi, you did another terrific job with this article. Too bad it was another ordinary photo from me. However, today I found something more photogenic. The [[Phaius australis]] are flowing at the botanic gardens. They are spectacular. [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 06:54, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Howdy,

Thanks for having a look at [[Acronychia wilcoxiana]]. The Illawarra botanist Anders Bofeldt was kind enough to answer my e-mail. Yes, it does occur near Wollongong.

We plan to search for Cryptocarya rigida, Cryptocarya obovata and (my favourite) Atherosperma moschatum in the Illawarra. There's a 5 percent chance that one of these plants naturally occurs in the Illwarra, but it's a ''big'' five percent.

Yesterday I was at [[Yatteyattah Nature Reserve]] and Mount Dromedary. Keep up the great work you are doing! I thought of you when at the Batemans Bay botanic gardens, when photographing Grevillea oxyantha.

Here's my blog of the great mountain, photographed yesterday:

After hours of extensive work, I feel that what we have is most likely going to make the grade.

We also say goodbye to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Ian Rose}}, who withdrew earlier this month after spending six weeks overseas. Anyone interested in this round's results can see them [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010|here]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 4|here]].

Also, TonyTheTiger is compiling some information and statistics on the finalists [[User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/cup|here]]- the final eight are encouraged to add themselves to the list.

Our final eight will play it out for two months, after which we will know 2010's WikiCup winner, and a variety of prizes will be awarded.

The first play-off game at [[Knowsley Road]] could be the last game to be played there.  It's looking likely that not that many more games will be played at Knowsley Road, [[Belle Vue (Wakefield)|Belle Vue]], [[The Willows, Salford|The Willows]] or [[Wheldon Road]] and we have very few free-to-use images of them (although the ones we have, particularly of Wheldon Road are very good).  I wouldn't like to see our material on these historic grounds go the same way as the very limited material we have for the historic [[The Boulevard (stadium)|Boulevard Ground]], [[Thrum Hall]] or the [[Parkside, Hunslet|Parkside Ground]].  If you will be at the next play-off game at Knowsely Road or if you are able to get any pictures of these grounds I would be very gratefull if you could upload them to commons.  I can sort out the categories and such if you don't have any time.  Alternatively if you know of anyone who could it would be much appreciated.  I am unlikely to go to any away games next season because of my current circumstances so will not be able to contribute towards this, although I shall endevour to get some great images at home games (I've a load of the CC final to upload but there sat it a very long backlog).

== So do I just jump right in? ==

Hi! I've looked at [[WP:GA]] and the review process for such articles. I was wondering, should I just jump in and start reviewing articles to see if they meet criteria? Should I contact someone and get more information before I do so? The reason I ask is that this will be my first time contributing to the GA process, so I'm not sure if I'll be doing things right. Of course, I'll read all the directions, but I'd just like to see if there are any customs/procedures there. I've noticed there there is a considerable list of articles waiting to be reviewed, so I'd like to help in cutting down that list. I've had experience in more administrative-like tasks, but nothing close to GA. So, should I jump right in and start reviewing or is there some "training" thing? Thanks.

:Okay, yeah why not? Have a look at: [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria]] and think to yourself, "is there anything missing here? Anything I wanna know which I can't see written about?" There is no mad rush to wrap them up pronto, so opening up a review and noting some issues is a great start. Some things will be simple as they follow a standard format - hence many biographies, biological articles and geography have within each of them a set of things you'd hope to read about. If complicated and you can't follow becaise of too-technical language or jargon, then ask if it can be explained more clearly without losing meaning. Why not choose one or two and then ping me.

Thanks Cas! It was one of my recent goals to get Huia to FA so to help have done it feels great and that's really nice of you to give me a barnstar, it's my first and the bio barnstar version looks so cool too, heh - it was a team effort of course, as most wikipedia articles getting promoted to FA are, so props to you for all you did to help get it to FA (I doubt this could have been done without you..) Real life for me is undergoing some major (positive) developments so I will be away from wikipedia for some time.

== Ban Reverts ==

Hey, Casliber!  Don't get me wrong on the deletion of good edits; I've dug up socks of a banned user or two, and I didn't go through each and every edit of those socks and delete every single one.  I thought about it for a minute, but many were good edits - why would anyone revert corrected typos?  To "dumb down" the articles?  It is ''allowed'' to be done to banned editor's actions, is the point.  If the substance of the edits are good, another editor (uninvolved with the banned editor, of course) can always add them.  It's a dangerous game sometimes, though, as the focus is shifting at the AN/I as I type this.  Just wanted to clarify that I'm not a draconian monster bent on salting the wiki of any and all edits by banned users: it's not even feasible, really.

::You mean between the good biological content removed and the reverting of the edits because it was from a banned user?  This brings up a very interesting issue, indeed.  I would think that if the consensus was that certain edits removed had truly been improving the encyclopedia (of course: properly sourced, not original research, etc.) that they should be restored by an impartial and neutral editor.  Someone with no provable link to the banned editor, where it could be a proxy issue.  Are these the issues you're juggling?

== [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User|Adopt-a-user]] reminder ==

Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's_Area/Adopters|here]]. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:

* If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list.
* If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you.

* You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's_Area/Adopters|here]].

== Possible DYK ==

Can you see an appropriate hook on [[Noosa National Park]]?  I was thinking most visitor numbers in Australia claim but was not sure a CEO of a tourist organisation was a reliable source.  I phoned him and he said it was sourced from the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management website although it is not returning anything with Google to confirm this. The other hook was most traversed trail in Australia sourced to a [[The Courier-Mail|Courier-Mail]] article. I hope you have the time to tend to this if you think it is suitable for a Queensland DYK.- [[User:Shiftchange|Shiftchange]] ([[User talk:Shiftchange|talk]]) 23:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Howdy, you did another superb job with Myoporum acuminatum. Congratulations. By the way, the wildflowers now are some of the best I've ever seen, this is a good season. There's so many articles to be written. I can't believe that there was no Wiki article on [[Eriostemon australasius]], one of the finest of all the Australian wildflowers. My area of interest is the rainforest trees of the Illawarra. They say to be interested in wildflowers you need to have one foot in the grave, and not to have had sex in 20 years. But, the heathland wild flowers are worth seeing now, if you get the chance. regards, [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 03:50, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks for looking at this fabulous wildflower. And you did yet another terrific job. Lately I'm trying to find local orchids. With my $85 camera I've taken photos of [[Caleana major]]. These have proven of interest to a variety of people, and have generated plenty of comment. The stub is already getting a good number of hits. ''Flying Duck'' might make a future DYK, as people seem to love the sight of these quirky orchids. I don't have enough info to make a full article on it. But I thought of this for a DYK hook, "did you know that the flying duck orchid is an orchid that looks like a flying duck"!

Hi Cas,

I'm making plans for another climb of [[Mount Imlay National Park|Mount Imlay]] in the next week or two. This time I have someone who wants to be with me. The problem with him, is that he has a 170 IQ and he makes me feel very silly in comparison. Plants to be searched for include [[Eucalyptus imlayensis]], Nestegis ligustrina and [[Boronia imlayensis]] and the others in the rainforest gully. 

If we find [[Eucalyptus imlayensis]] then we might descend into the southern rainforest if there's enough time. If not, I'll climb the mountain the next day.

Last year the top mountain ridge was covered in flowers of the Imlay Boronia. The rainforest gully is of interest, with only a few species of plants. see link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/17674930@N07/4143388670/

The [[Black Olive Berry]] is dominant, thick and abundant, 25 metres tall. 

The unlikely or specious accounts of the occurrence at Mount Imlay of Pittosporum bicolor, [[Atherosperma moschatum]] and [[Nothofagus cunninghamii]] don't really need another investigation. (But, it's such a great place I want to return and have another look). Last year I saw plenty of the native privet, but I didn't photograph them (being in self preservation mode).

If you are free, you are most welcome to climb the great southern mountain with us. The top narrow ridge is likely to be covered in flowers of [[Boronia imlayensis]]. Last November, it was a majestic sight. (see my photo) http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&photo=27&file=56/548/Boronia%20imlayensis%201.jpg

The Imlay Mallee is [[critically endangered]] by extinction. I'd hate to hurt it or damage it if I find it. The scientists have given up on it, considered a corpse, extinct, a dead or nearly dead thing. They reckon no-one can save it.

kind wishes

Hello hello,

Since you are not interested in [[Caleana major]], I decided to have a ''Did You Know'' moment myself. Please review this article, and make suggestions that might improve it, and make it suitable for the front page of Wikipedia.

You have had plenty of experience with DYK, and know what to do. 

I was at the Sydney Opera House on Thursday, saw so many [[Psilotum nudum]] at the opera house forecourt, and had many great memories of the girls and music at the Sydney Opera House. (I attended the first ever symphony concert there in 1973).

The plans to climb Imlay and Royal are delayed. Too many problems dealing with people.

Please edit, criticise the Duck Orchid article, and help us get this glorious orchid on the front page of Wiki. If you can't help, I'll try that Rlevse person.

cheers, Pete [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 06:28, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

All trips to Mount Royal, Mount Keira and Mount Imlay are postponed because of the weather. (What a relief), I'm too scared.

Thanks for your edits of the Flying Duck orchid, which has been OK'd for ''Did You Know''.

I'm pleased that my first ever attempt at growing eucalyptus from seeds was a success. A local species (not found south of the Harbour Bridge), [[Eucalyptus acmenoides]]. Before being interested in rainforests, my first botanical love was the eucalyptus.

kind wishes [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 08:08, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Terrific work on those orchid articles lately, thanks again. You make them so much better. A botanist from the National Herbarium with the initials A.O. said he will walk the same track to see the [[Cryptostylis hunteriana]] recently photographed. (I gave him fairly good instructions on where to find it). Orchids are a mystery to me, I know nothing of them. Yesterday I saw another little terrestrial orchid. And have no ''friggin'' idea what it is. Some sort of maroon hooded orchid with a striped yellow tongue. So, hopefully the orchid people on Flickr can assist with identification. If so, I'll make a stub on Wiki. Have fun, keep up the great work. [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 06:09, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The '''[[Puerto Rican Amazon]]''' is the only bird [[Endemism in birds|endemic]] to the [[archipelago]] of [[Puerto Rico]] belonging to the [[Neotropic ecozone|Neotropical]] genus ''[[Amazon parrot|Amazona]]''. Measuring 28&ndash;30&nbsp;cm (11&ndash;12&nbsp;in), the Puerto Rican Amazon is a predominantly green [[parrot]] with a red forehead and white rings around the eyes. Two subspecies have been described, although there are doubts regarding the distinctiveness of the form ''gracilipes'' from [[Culebra, Puerto Rico|Culebra Island]], extinct since 1912. The Puerto Rican Amazon reaches sexual maturity between three and four years of age. It reproduces once a year and is a [[Bird nest#Cavity|cavity nester]]. Once the female lays eggs she will remain in the nest and continuously incubate them until hatching. The chicks are fed by both parents and will [[fledge]] 60 to 65 days after hatching. This parrot's diet is varied and consists of flowers, fruits, leaves, bark and nectar obtained from the forest [[Canopy (forest)|canopy]]. The species is the only remaining native parrot in Puerto Rico and has been listed as [[critically endangered]] by the [[World Conservation Union]] since 1994. Once widespread and abundant, the population declined drastically in the 19th and early 20th centuries with the removal of most of its native habitat; the species completely vanished from [[Vieques, Puerto Rico|Vieques]] and [[Mona, Puerto Rico|Mona Island]], nearby to the main island of Puerto Rico. Conservation efforts commenced in 1968 to save the bird from extinction. In 2006, the total estimated population was 34 to 40 individuals in the wild and 143 individuals in captivity.

==Binge drinking==
Hey Casliber, sorry to disturb you. I hope all is well with you. I saw your name listed as individuals who volunteer to peer review articles who can be contacted directly. I would appreciate it if you could peer review the [[binge drinking]] article. At some point I would like to get [[binge drinking]] up to a good article status. However some more work is needed to get there. Some background information; the article is quite biased, per [[WP:NPOV]], against binge drinking, but I do not know how to resolve that as I and other editors could not find any sources which discussed recreational use of alcohol in favourable terms, certainly no medical sources. Some content may be a bit too technical and could perhaps be moved to other articles but would appreciate some outside eyes to review it before deciding what if any content needs deleted or moved to more focused articles. If you are too busy, not to worry.

::::::I wouldn't where to start: The more I dig the more I spot stuff (admittedly it's because in zoology taxonomy tends to fall even more to the wayside when it comes to the higher animals, but it's still frustrating). For starters, I'm itching to break "Taxonomy and naming", which (in this article, at least, but it's a bit of a systemic problem) is a mashup of three different conceptuald aspect: the formal taxo-nomenclatural history, molecular phylogeny and subspecies, and names and etymology (it's easy to forget that in more detailed articles, one can and probably should split off well-developed subtopics in their own section). Another conceptual problem is that although formally the article also covers a genus taxon, there is virtually no discussion of it, to the point that the article even fails to state when the species was first placed in this genus! [[User:Circeus|Circéus]] ([[User talk:Circeus|talk]]) 21:29, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

See, as far as circumscription, I see all of those things (i.e. How we define, split and classify a species, both with common and scientific names) as linked, and the broad aegis of "taxonomy and naming" covers it very well. Generally, most articles are too small to split off into ''evolution'', ''etymology'' etc. As far as comprehensiveness, you're right as I had forgotten about the monotypic genus...[http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/title/39584#page/512/mode/1up aha], now to add.

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Submissions|here]]. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}}, with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}}, with 2260, and third to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Casliber}}, with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists&nbsp;– {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|White Shadows}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|William S. Saturn}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Staxringold}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|ThinkBlue}}. Also, congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}}, who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.

Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Casliber}}, for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}}, for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Staxringold}}, for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Jujutacular}}, for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}}, for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}}, for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Candlewicke}}, for nineteen articles in the news in round three.

The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month&nbsp;– hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the [[WT:CUP|WikiCup talk page]] and on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring|scoring talk page]]. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups|the signup page]]. Well done and thank you to everyone involved&nbsp;– the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever.

This was initially a redirect to [[Robert Whitaker (author)]], but it has now been expanded. I had added a section about the reception of this rather controversial book the author's biography. The expanded article so far has no reception section. Perhaps you can help with that; several medical sources reviewed the book. I'm having some doubts that [[User:SusanLesch]] has access to those.

Hello! As you may be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation is gearing up for our annual [[m:Fundraising 2010|fundraiser]]. We want to hit our goal, and hit it as soon as possible, so that we can focus on Wikipedia's tenth anniversary (January 15) and on our new project, the [[Wikipedia:Contribution Team|Contribution Team]].

I'm posting across User Talk pages to engage you, the community, in working to build Wikipedia not only through financial donations, but also through collaboration in building content. You can find more information in [[User:Philippe (WMF)|Philippe Beaudette]]'s memo to the communities [[m:Fundraising 2010/Updates#4 November: The Schedule|here]].

Please visit the [[Wikipedia:Contribution Team|Contribution Team page]] and the [[m:Fundraising 2010|Fundraising page]] to find out how you can help us support and spread free knowledge.

== Welcome to the elections! ==

Dear Casliber, thank you for nominating yourself as a candidate in the [[WP:ACE2010|2010 Arbitration Committee elections]]. On behalf of the coordinators, allow me to welcome you to the election and make a few suggestions to help you get set up. By now, you ought to have written your [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Casliber/Statement|nomination statement]]{{#ifexist:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Casliber/Statement|<!-- exists -->|&nbsp;([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/Preloader/Statement&editintro=&summary=&minor=&title=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/{{urlencode:Casliber}}/Statement create])}}, which should be no more than 400 words and declare any alternate or former user accounts you have contributed under (or, in the case of privacy concerns, a declaration that you have disclosed them to the Arbitration Committee). Although there are no fixed guidelines for how to write a statement, note that many candidates treat this as an opportunity, in their own way, to put a cogent case as to why editors should vote for them—highlighting the strengths they would bring to the job, and convincing the community they would cope with the workload and responsibilities of being an arbitrator.

You should at this point have your own [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Casliber/Questions|questions subpage]]{{#ifexist:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Casliber/Questions|<!-- exists -->|&nbsp;([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Questions/Draft&editintro=&summary=&minor=&title=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/{{urlencode:Casliber}}/Questions create])}}; feel free to begin answering the questions as you please. Together, the nomination statement and questions subpage should be transcluded to [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Casliber|your candidate profile]], whose  [[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Casliber|talkpage]]{{#ifexist:Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Casliber|<!-- exists -->|&nbsp;([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/Preloader/Discussion&editintro=&summary=&minor=&title=Wikipedia+talk:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2010/Candidates/{{urlencode:Casliber}} create])}} will serve as the central location for discussion of your candidacy. If you experience any difficulty setting up these pages, please follow the links in the footer below. If you need assistance, on this or any other matter (including objectionable questions or commentary by others on your candidate pages), please notify the coordinators at [[WT:COORD10|their talkpage]]. If you have followed these instructions correctly, congratulations, you are now officially a candidate for the Arbitration Committee. Good luck!

Hi. Best of luck in your upcoming (re?) trial by fire. As in [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2008/Candidate_statements/Questions/General#Questions_from_Lar|previous]] [[User:Lar/ACE2009/Questions|years]] I have a [[User:Lar/ACE2010/Questions|series of questions]] I ask candidates. This year there are restrictions on the length and number of questions on the "official" page for questions, restrictions which I do not agree with, but which I will abide by. I nevertheless think my questions are important and relevant (and I am not the only person to think so, in previous years they have drawn favorable comment from many, including in at least one case indepth analysis of candidates answers to them by third parties). You are invited to answer them if you so choose. I suggest that the talk page of your questions page is a good place to put them and I will do so with your acquiescence (for example, SirFozzie's [[Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2010/Candidates/SirFozzie/Questions#Questions_from_Lar|page]] already has them). Your answers, (or non-answers should you decide not to answer them), that will be a factor in [[User:Lar/ACE2010|my evaluation]] of your candidacy. Please let me know as soon as practical what your wish is. Thanks and best of luck. ++[[User:Lar|Lar]]: [[User_talk:Lar|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Lar|c]] 14:54, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Dear Cas,

Thanks again for your terrific support and interest in the botany of Australia. Today I was most fortunate to meet the eucalyptus scientist, Dr. Dean Nicolle. (pictured). What a terrific fellow he is. Here's a photo from this morning in Blue Mountains National Park: [[image:Dean-Nicolle-Deanei.JPG|thumb|left|500px]] What a shame you couldn't be here with us. kind regards, Peter. [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 07:12, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

:Wow. Nice pic and cool person to go for a bushwalk with? Were you in Woodford? I was stuck earning a crust for a living :( [[User:Casliber|Casliber]] ([[User talk:Casliber|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Casliber|contribs]]) 13:15, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, we measured the mighty Woodford Tree, it's 71 metres tall, (according to Dr. Nicolle's laser rangefinder). I asked if he would like me to write a Wikipedia article on himself. (As he is a significant botanist). He did not like the idea one bit. So, I won't. He's currently describing a newly found stringybark of eastern NSW. My original botanic love is the eucalyptus. He wanted me to find new species for him. (I haven't found a damn thing in 20 years of searching). Anyway, we had very good conversations, and he knew much of my favourite (arcane) species. A good fun day in the wilderness with a terrific scientist. [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 08:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

:Wow Peter that's great! The place I want to explore after talking to the herbarium is the valley between Newnes and Newnes Plateau, which has not been explored botanically...and I am sure there is loads of the Wollemi wilderness...hehehe.

Happy New Year, thanks for being interested in Australian plants. Today I crawled up Mount Keira. 16 minutes slower than last time. Took a photo, wrote an article. The plant identification may well be wrong. It could be right. But here's my 502nd Wiki article.  [[Clerodendrum floribundum]]. Plant Net disagrees with [[A.G.Floyd]]. This time, I'm siding with the great A.G. [[User:Poyt448|Poyt448]] ([[User talk:Poyt448|talk]]) 07:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
