GA

You're welcome. I hope you'll look at the King cobra article next. I think that would make a nice addition to GA. LittleJerry (talk) 03:16, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

		Thanks Sebastian80 for helping to promote Black mamba to Good Article status. Please accept this little sign of appreciation and goodwill from me, because you deserve it. Keep it up, and give some a pat on the back today. --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 08:32, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Temazepam

The ref is outdated and I am in a position to say so. See WP:MEDRS. Please source to recent review articles and textbooks. Recent means last 5 years approx. and 1978 is really outdated the stuff was new then. The article needs current sources. It already says that it is a sleeping pill=hypnotic elsewhere. 70.137.147.121 (talk) 21:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your deduction from the rapid rise of blood levels is a synthesis, WP:SYN. We take the indications from the FDA approved indications per FDA label. For the indications in UK we take the repective labeling in the national drug list, etc. Please do not allow yourself to denunciate me again as a suspected sockpuppet. I have variable IP and this is not controlled by me but by the provider. I am playing strictly to the rules, as you will notice. 70.137.129.225 (talk) 23:45, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Naja nigricollis

I've started to review this. Let me know how quickly you can fix the main problems or I'll put it on hold. Thanks.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 23:33, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is looking better, maybe a small section on reproduction - mating season, number of eggs, gestation, etc?--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 20:22, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, rhey have to be sure on that stuff. try to find a legit pic, it's better if the owner uploads the file, I had a few of my Cyclura pieces taken care of that way. I did manage to get Ctenosaura bakeri to pass GA with no pics at all though..maybe get a map of its range together?--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 04:06, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are almost there. Maybe contact people who have the snakes on some of the venomous forums to donate a pic or two? We'll see how it goes. Pictures aren't vital to a GA, but they would be nice to have.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 22:38, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a few good external links to round it out. We'll see what develops picturewise by the weekend.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 03:43, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those would be perfect. Links to any zoos, serpentariums, venom banks, a good YT video can't hurt. Good luck on the pics.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 04:30, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FAC withdrawn

I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the Tiger article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the featured article candidate instructions.

Hi. When you recently edited Bothrops asper, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Environment (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Deutsche Sprache

Nun, wenn Sie auf einmal so gute Deutschkenntnisse haben, seit unserer letzten Konversation, dann koennen Sie jetzt ja auch den kurzen Abriss des Faschismus von Sternhell lesen, den ich Ihnen auf Deutsch gelinkt habe, da ich keine engl. Ausgabe fand. Letztes mal konnten wir das nicht diskutieren, da Sie noch nicht Deutsch sprachen. Sie lernen aber schnell! Dann ist Ihnen jetzt ja auch Material im Urtext zugaenglich, aus dem Sie verifizieren koennen, dass Himmler ein wildgewordener Huehnerzuechter war, und nicht ein hochgebildeter Intellektueller, wie Sie vermeinten und beharrten. Man kann wohl einem Nicht-Deutschen nicht vermitteln, welchen Geruch dieser Mann fuer deutsche Intellektuelle an sich hatte. Lesen Sie mit Ihren frischen Deutschkenntnissen auch dies:

Schoepsoglobin - http://literaturnetz.org/6171

Das wird den Standpunkt der damaligen Intellektuellen klarer machen. 70.137.149.32 (talk) 13:12, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page titles

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Monocled Cobra a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Monocled cobra. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

GA review

Hello Sebastian. Thanks for your work reviewing GAs. However, there are a few things I need to point out. First is Black Mamba, where you find significant rewriting esp. of the lead after you passed it--honestly, I would not have passed a GA nomination containing sentences in the lead like "It is a notorious snake that's feared throughout the world." Second, I saw some issues in Capybara (these may occur in the Mamba article also; I haven't checked that carefully): there are two citation formats, inconsistencies in date formatting, incorrect/incomplete/untemplated citations, too many notes in the lead (well, there were--I removed them), an inappropriate External link, and a couple of references (some to zoo websites, for instance) that really aren't of the quality we'd like to see in a GA (I removed one of them). Please see my recent edits to the article and the note on the talk page. Your response is appreciated. Thanks again, Drmies (talk) 15:38, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you participated in a discussion of these Mamba matters on the talk page, and I hope you take Sandy's final comments to heart. She is one of the top editors on the project. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 15:40, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jameson's mamba distribution map

Hi Sebastian! A month or so back you made a request at the map workshop that went unanswered. I can see that you managed to get a map done, but it looks like it doesn't quite match the request or the source information. If you want to still have the original request done, I'll be glad to take it on. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 02:56, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added your reply below to keep the conversation in one place. You can reply here as I'll be keeping an eye on the discussion. -- Orionist ★ talk

Hey, thanks for the reply. I did make a request, but after waiting for so long I decided that I'd go ahead and do it by myself. Is mine not good? Well if you can do a better one, then by all means go ahead. However, the general distribution of this species in my map is quite accurate. If you are going to make another map, please use my map as a source for the species' distribution. Thanks. I think I need a better map for Naja atra, actually. That species is found in Taiwan, southern China, northern Laos, and northern Vietnam. It's also found in Hainan province in China. Bastian (talk) 18:05, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! The main issue I found with your map was that the distribution goes along the exact national boundaries of several countries, which is highly unlikely and doesn't match the text of your request nor the sources you provided. I assumed you were using a simple graphics software that didn't have the capabilities to do what you needed it to do. You can list here the sources for the mamba and the Naja atra map and I'll be glad to do them for you. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 16:07, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll start working on the maps then! And sure, you can rely on me for future maps. If you find me inactive at the time of a future request, you can try the Illustration workshop instead, as the Map workshop has been very slow of late. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 13:15, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your help, Orionist. I really do appreciate it. Can you give me the link to the Illustration worshop, please? So basically, if I need a map done in the future and you're inactive then I should just post the request in the "Illustration workshop" instead of the "Map workshop"? Bastian (talk) 15:41, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. The illustration workshop is at Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop or in short form WP:GL/I. You can also find links to Illustration Workshop and the Photography workshop at the top of the Map workshop page, and vice versa. I'll upload the finished map on Thursday, soon after the Blackout ends. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 19:41, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

^ I login from different computers, usually public ones and I am a victim of this persons block.

Sebastian80 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Please, give me a chance. I was doing very well with Sebastian80. I had promoted 2 articles to GA status because of the hard work I put into them. I don't mean to make new accounts, but I just want to be able to edit on Wikipedia. I have a bunch of snake books that I can contribute greatly with and I have been! Please, please give me a chance. Delete ALL my accounts, but just allow me to edit with Sebastian80. I will NEVER make another account as long as I can edit with Sebastian80. Watch me carefully if you have to and one mistake and then block me, I won't complain. But I have been editing in good faith, I really have! Look at my contribution under Sebastian80, have they not been good faith edits? I have done nothing but work hard day and night under that username to improve articles on snakes and I also have created MANY pages. Just ask admin Drmies. He will tell you I have been doing well. Ask another user Mike Searson. Please, give me (Sebastian80) a chance. Please have some compassion, I have been doing good work with Sebastian80 - you have to admit that. Let me keep working on improving the snake articles. PLEASE, PLEASE, I BEG YOU! I have nothing else to do. VeronicaPR is an old, old account that I made a long, long time ago. Delete it. Sebastian80 (talk) 17:36, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

We can't delete old accounts. Although it's promising that you promise not to use them (it's not like you could anyway, since in similar situations we leave all the old accounts blocked). However, making this promise right after you got caught socking does not suggest self-control sufficient to make me comfortable with an unblock at this moment. If it had been a long time since your last sock, yes. Wait a bit longer without creating any more socks. — Daniel Case (talk) 17:58, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How long? This is so unfair. All my edits under Sebastian80 were good faith edits. Plus all the hard work I put into so many, many articles, two of which got promoted to GA status. I also created so many pages (for different species of snakes). I really am upset. I swear to you, I can use only Sebastian80. I don't need any of the others. I promise you I will NOT make new accounts. Sebastian80 (talk) 18:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
