Photograph from Charles Sturt Herbarium

I have just emailed the lecturer who collected the specimen to ask him to verify. Thanks very much for checking on this.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Section order in plant articles

Good work on the Lysiana exocarpi article. You might like to look at WP:Plants/Template, which sets out the normal order of sections in plant articles. It doesn't have to be followed in all cases but it usually is. Peter coxhead (talk) 01:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

No galleries

Hi, I suppose your Linda. I have to say I think you made a good article on Lysiana exocarpi. For a first ever article on wikipedia I'd say it is quite extraordinary. Stemonitis is right that it says somewhere that wikipedia articles are no picture albums, so the use of galleries is discouraged. However, good photography is essential for understanding plants and animals. I would revel in a series of images of the stages in the lifecycle of Lysiana exocarpi, ranging from a germinating seed, and a young plant, to a full grown plant, with close-ups of flowers and fruits, leafs and haustoria, perhaps even a microscope picture of the pollen (if that is characteristic). So to avoid the removal of the images I regard as informative, I put them where they support the text, with an explanatory caption. Oh, the signing, I didn't get it at first either, but by typing the four tildes ( ~~~~ ), HTML automatically generates your signature, that is to say: links to your user page, user talk page, and gives time and date. That way it is easy for other users to respond. Keep up the good work and kind regards, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 22:35, 24 October 2013 (UTC) Thanks very much for your encouragement. I'm going to take some photos over the next couple of weeks and do an update and then insert them where appropriate. It was more an issue of the photo disappearing from the page completely that concerned me. Just getting the hang of signing off as well. --Botanybay1788 (talk) 23:36, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

La Perouse

Hi,

Belatedly, thanks for the message. I'm not from the Botany Bay area, but La Perouse is an interesting topic. Nice work for your edits to them, and for the Harlequin Mistletoe - something I had never heard of until today. There's room for more on LaPerouse's actual explorations, will have a hunt about and see what I can find, or if there's anything you'd like to work on together please let me know. Euryalus (talk) 22:08, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Euryalus,

The National Trust Heritage Week Friends of Laperouse Museum walk for 2014 is on Laperouse's expedition so very timely to do some work on it. I have the English edition of the journals. Also good to update some related entries like the one on Receveur. I hadn't seen it before but the references quoted are blogs I manage. Glad you like the Mistletoe. It was an assignment as part of assessment for a course I did - an ecology trip around outback NSW - my blog on it is www.sturt2013.wordpress.com and there are photos of other mistletoes.

If you want to correspond by email on this you can get me on the contact page on www.laperouse.info

Disambiguation link notification for February 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Minister for the Environment (New South Wales), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Robertson (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.
