Hey, you are welcome for the welcome.

I live in the bay area. The season here starts in November.

I went mushroom hunting this weekend; Here are a few of the pics:

It is extremely casual.

I started around January this year. Its really fun!

You could...

1) Find an article on mushrooms and make it better

2) Write an article on mushrooms that isn't here yet. I would like every mushroom to have a page on wikipedia, and in 50 years, they all will. I noticed that only one Panaeolus had a wikipedia page, so I created several more.

3) Research an interesting area of mycology, and add what you learn to the appplicable article

4) Find mushroom articles without pictures and attempt to locate a free picture that you can put in there

5) Photograph the mushrooms that you do find, and if there is no wikipedia article on that species or no pic in the article, put the pic in there.

6) Upload pictures of mushrooms that you take to wikimedia commons and mushroomobserver.org

7) Work on the wikipedia project fungi stuff, they focus on one or two articles each month.

I find that I learn a lot when editing wikipedia, another great reason to do it.

Good job on the MSSF article. Maybe I will see you at the next meeting. Usually we hang out and talk for a few hours afterwards.

Info War

I have decided to contact various (and I trust, neutral) administrators and users over a subject that I have followed very closely, but in fear of my own reputation, will not reveal my identity in association with. I would have to say that I am now very concerned.

It may have come to your attention that a lot of information has been removed from http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Adult-child_sex / http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Adult-child_sex, with barely any discussion or consensus. The article started off very much like that archived by another user: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User:Tlatosmd/Adult-child_sex. Although there were many users voting for and contributing to similar versions, most of the controversial anthropological material was removed at times of low interest, with the article eventually being wiped from the server by the admin Herostratus, and turned in to a links page: again without any discussions. Now, only a tiny bit of the old article remains, on the clumsily and swiftly re-named http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Adult-older_teen_sex / http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Adult-older_teen_sex.

My own instinct would be to call this out as an information "purge" and ask for a revert at the very least, so that we can discuss any changes in the usual way, or with a vote such as the one which gave the green light to the now absent article. 208.131.130.235 (talk) 17:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

ACS

You and I both got a message (from 208.131.130.235 regarding the Adult-child sex article and all it's incarnations. I would like to point out that an effort to rerite this article back into a thorough, referenced, and NPOV (truly NPOV, not PAW-POV) has been undertaken recently. The hope is to take information and references from past versions that were somewhat stable (or at least good-quality) and piece them together, reference and re-reference them, and expand upon the article in general.

You can see that effort here.

Further, I would invite you to join in it's rewriting effort. Any assistance in expanding and referencing would be quite appreciated.

With any luck (editor help), this can be completed before February and completely replace the ACS article through superior content (and somehow fight off the "Big Three" that irradicated the original article).

Thoughts and comment welcome. VigilancePrime (talk) 01:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

FYI

I noticed your participation in discussions about this user, or similar articles to those which he was seemingly banned for editing.

Proposed deletion of Sha Stimuli

The article Sha Stimuli has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

As far as I can tell the only notability is inherited notability from his brother, something not acceptable as a criterion for inclusion. I do not believe that this artist passes our notability test yet. Should he become notable in the future then the article should return, properly referenced. I am also proposing the debut album My Soul To Keep (album) for deletion

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 13:34, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Sha Stimuli

I have nominated Sha Stimuli, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sha Stimuli. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Blue Ridge Mountains, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New River (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.

Fernando Rivadavia

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Fernando Rivadavia. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fernando Rivadavia

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Fernando Rivadavia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. reddogsix (talk) 00:28, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
