Hi Sasata. The only problem I had with devising this new article was the existence of two subspecies (subsp. sibiricus and subsp. helveticus) according to some sources. I have no information as to the morphological differences between the two other than "subsp. sibiricus is darker" from the German wikipedia. It appears subsp. sibiricus occurs in Siberia, wheras subsp. helveticus is wholly European. All this makes out the North American versions... what? Not much information about this one, but it's nonetheless an interesting species. And I hope you have a fruitful wikileave.--Paffka (talk) 19:16, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Harmaja has combined Amylolepiota into Leucopholiota (can't believe I didn't notice it was relevant to you before!). Not sure how trusty this move is, but she characterise the species as having only differences at the ecological level and in gill attachment, so unless we decide with Knudsen that they are synonyms, it's relevant to discuss in the "similar species" section. All the dirty stuff is in Harmaja, Harri (2010). "A new combination in Leucopholiota (Agaricales, Fungi)". Phytotaxa. 3: 59–60. {{cite journal}}

Hi, I am reviewing this GA nomination of yours and have made some comments at Talk:Fossa (animal)/GA1. Thanks, Xtzou (Talk) 14:09, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Howdy, hope you're enjoying your time off. When you return, could you please take one more look at Hurricane Eloise (I added some more info from those sources you mentioned) and let me know how close you think it is to FA? Once I get "done" with that article, I plan on moving on to Bonnie '98 and looking at those journals you provided last year. Cheers, Juliancolton (talk) 18:29, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
At Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Mycena leaiana var. australis.jpg, I posed the question Why are there no views of real fungi at Pileus (mycology)? Can you respond?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Sasata! I am just stopping by to ask if you would like to visit the featured article review for Krill (the review page can be found at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Krill/archive1)? An editor has done quite a bit of work on the article, but I would like to get the opinions of a couple of biology people who are active at FAC before I close the review. Thanks in advance if you have the time and interest; if not, no biggie! Dana boomer (talk) 01:16, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
I thought here was a better place than FPC. Were the pictures taken on a tripod with fairly consistent lighting? If so I'd imagine its probably software technique that is to blame. Using CombineZP, press align and balance used frames, then pyramid maximum contrast usually works pretty well for me (most of my fungi shots are now stacks). I'm on holidays so could probably have a go at a set if you like. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:42, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello! I hope you have had a nice Wikibreak! Did you have time to research something for the Linnaeus article? :)

I know you participate quite a lot in the DYK process, and this is my first nomination, could you lend me a hand with the procedure or let me know if there is something wrong with my nomination.

Hey mate, I just finished going through your list of potential sources for GRB 970228 at its FAC. As I suspected, most mentioned the burst only in passing, though there were two sources which I added to the article. There was also one that I couldn't find the fulltext for. Any chance you could send me the PDF?
Title: Are gamma-ray bursts due to isotropic fireballs or cylindrical jets? Possibly useful. Fulltext article needed. Author(s): Huang, YF; Tan, CY; Dai, ZG, et al. Source: CHINESE ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Volume: 26 Issue: 4 Pages: 414-423 Published: OCT-DEC 2002

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) Casliber (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.
If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

Actually, I think it is NOT catchy at all XD. I'd think the yeast culturing bit is a much more interesting hook. Mind you, I also suspect the article is short on prose for DYK in its current state. As a side-note, am I the only one who can't get JSTOR to work at the moment? I just get empty files. It's really frustrating. Circéus (talk) 07:53, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Would you have time to have a look at List of parasites of the marsh rice rat, currently at FLC? It isn't getting much traction so far. Ucucha 16:33, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Sasata, can you revisit the FLC when you get the chance? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 00:20, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm not asking for anything formal, but I was wondering if you could read over and comment on Subfossil lemur whenever you have time. (I know you're busy, so it can wait.) It will likely be my next FAC. Also, the article mentions a coprophilous fungus (Sporormiella spp.), so it might be up your alley. ;-) Anyway, take your time. If I can finish revising Silky Sifaka for Erik Patel as I promised today, I may try to help out with whatever you have up for review. Best, – VisionHolder « talk » 15:58, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your very rapid review on July 3 of the biolography of mycologist Richard Summerbell. Unfortunately, the bio wasn't completed at the time of your review. The page was created on June 29 but I needed expert help with the mycology part, as my primary interest is in the biographies of Canadian gay activists (of whom Summerbell was one). You may wish to have a second look at this bio, now that the mycology section is complete. Ross Fraser (talk) 00:52, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if you've messed with ITN (In The News) much, but I've got a primate article up under the heading "Last common ancestor of apes and Old World Monkeys found" (July 15) and need a few more comments for it to post. You're very knowledgeable about biology articles, so I was hoping you'd have a moment to comment.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to your feedback on ecology. I had to take a break while I worked on my thesis. I've been back poking away at the article and going over your review edits. Once I complete them I will nominate once again for GA review. I've spent a bit of time restructuring the article and re-wording some of the text and think it is improving as you indicated.

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

Based on the sources I used while writing a new article, as well as the listing of the other species articles, I changed the family for Crinipellis from Marasmiaceae to Tricholomataceae, but I'm not certain whether I was right to do so. We seem to have articles contradicting each other. Could you possibly check the sources you deem most reliable and fix the genus/species (as well as family) articles as appropriate? I'd trust you to get it right before I'd trust myself- the whole situation's a little messy. (On a loosely related note, I came across the likes of List of Tricholomataceae genera and List of Agaricales families- have you considered nominating this kind of thing for featured list status? They look great...) J Milburn (talk) 19:25, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks very much, that was quick! J Milburn (talk) 19:14, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
While on this, we currently have Marasmiaceae defined per Dictionary of the Fungi, i.e. sensu lato incl. Omphalotaceae (which if I understand right forms a sister clade to Marasmiaceae s.s.). Shouldn't we define both circumscription in so far as we apparently recognize Omphalotaceae as a separate group too? Circéus (talk) 19:45, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sasata,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:Rhodotus palmatus2.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on August 12, 2010. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2010-08-12. BTW, did you take the photo? In the FPC nomination, you claimed credit for it, but on the upload page it's credited to someone at Mushroom Observer. howcheng {chat} 20:31, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm thinking about finishing up the Mesopropithecus article for a FAC run in the near future, and I was wondering if you would mind emailing me the sources you listed on the talk page a while back. And if you don't mind, I would appreciate a list of articles for Hadropithecus as well since that may follow. Thanks! – VisionHolder « talk » 05:57, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
If you are aware of other Family Guy GAs which do not meet the GA criteria, please open individual or community reassessments for them.

Yeah, stupid mistake on my part, I'm glad there's someone watching my back... I was struck by the pretty gills while I was working on the fungi portal, and I thought it was a solid improvement on picture already there (an olddddd FP I have nominated for delisting); I thought it was doubly useful as it showed some latex, which I mentioned in the article. J Milburn (talk) 18:13, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
I've been going through your Cortinarius DYK articles, and one thing struck me as I fixed a small detail: it seems mildly disingenuous to refer to a different placement as a "synonym" without any context. Taking Cortinarius purpurascens for an example, Phlegmacium purpurascens cannot by definition be anything other than a synonym as long as the species is in Cortinarius! Using "is considered" implies that it might eventually be considered separate (as is actually possible for the various synonyms given in the Cortinarius varius infobox). What do you think?

Hi Sasata! As you usually find a source or two that I missed on my FACs, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind checking out an article in advance for me, so that it's more prepared pre-FAC? The article is Andalusian horse, and I would like to take it to FAC the week after Labor Day weekend (I can't remember if you're from the US...if not, it's the first weekend in September). I know that you've got a lot going on with your entries for the Cup, so if you don't have time I understand. If you are able to take a look, however, it is much appreciated.

We have our final eight! The best of luck to those who remain. A bumper newsletter this week as we start our home straight.
We say goodbye to the six who fell at the final hurdle. Geschichte (submissions) only just missed out on a place in the final eight. Resolute (submissions) was not far behind. Candlewicke (submissions) was awarded top points for in the news this round. Gary King (submissions) contributed a variety of did you know articles. Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions) said "I'm surprised to have survived so far into the competition", but was extactic to see Finland in the semi-finals. Arsenikk (submissions) did not score this round, but has scored highly in previous rounds. We also say goodbye to Ian Rose (submissions), who withdrew earlier this month after spending six weeks overseas. Anyone interested in this round's results can see them here and here. Thank you to Stone (submissions) for these.
Signups for next year's competition are now open. Planning is ongoing, with a key discussion about judges for next year open. Discussion about how next year's scoring will work is ongoing, and thoughts are more than welcome at Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring. Also, TonyTheTiger is compiling some information and statistics on the finalists 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.

Nope, you don't. If you upload the images to Commons, you can tag them with this template, which covers the full works. A note saying you have their permission (if you do) could help, but, basically, it's not something that concerns us unless the subject complains (and even then, it's not an auto-delete). From my experience, a lot of people prefer portraits where you get across who the person is at FPC, so taking the picture with a chess-board in front of them or something similar could really help your chances. Good luck! As a rule, I love portraits at FPC, so you'll probably be getting a support from me. J Milburn (talk) 21:26, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you with this stuff again, but I had a look at the sources for the taxonomy of the species, and I was more than a little overwhelmed.

Hi there Sasata! The Eustrombus gigas article is still under peer review, and many improvements have been made. If you feel like it, please leave a comment or two! I'd really appreaciate your help. Best, Daniel Cavallari (talk) 15:45, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Not sure which is the best email acct to get you on, so used the one attached to this page. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:22, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Any thought on this possible template to link together poisonous amanitas? Circéus (talk) 23:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Sasata! Thanks again for the literature review that you did on Andalusian horse! The article is currently at FAC (Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Andalusian horse/archive1), and has gone into the urgent reviews section. Reviews are coming rather slowly (big surprise, right?), so if you have a second to take a look, it would be great! If you don't, no worries - you've been a huge help already with all of the articles you've located :) Thanks in advance, Dana boomer (talk) 00:15, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks :) I'll no doubt continue to patch on it here and there; I think there's more to be said regarding the distribution (no South America? I've not found a concrete source... Also, there seems to be debate about whether it appears in the tropics) and the taxonomy (the length of the synonyms list alone tells us that!) but I think it could be ready for a GA nomination- perhaps the reviewer will be able to offer something.

Hey, can I ask why you didn't use this picture in Tremella mesenterica? It's a featured picture. J Milburn (talk) 14:33, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Please note that I have deprodded Unpleasant odor that you proposed for deletion. A better idea is to suggest a merge by placing {{merge|Odor}} at the top of the page and starting a discussion on why you believe it should be merged. Shaliya waya (talk) 19:22, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello there once again, Sasata! Thank you very much for your feedback in the Eustrombus gigas peer review. Your comments have provided a good deal of directives for future improvements. Best wishes, Daniel Cavallari (talk) 01:47, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
From my experience (and, on top of the mushrooms, I've done a lot of pop culture stuff where people complain a lot about the wrong thing being italicised) the MOS refers to both the references and the article body. Making exceptions for academic citation styles is one thing, but the template is straight up wrong to suggest that website names should be italicised- to use the same examples, Wikipedia, Facebook, YouTube would not be italicised- neither are webzines (unless that's changed, I remember a discussion about it a long time ago). Neither would you italicise, say, Billboard.com, despite the fact Billboard the magazine most certainly should be italicised. As I say, that template is irritating- so often at GAC or FAC I have been criticised, or criticised people, or seen people being criticised, for using italics in the wrong place, all thanks to that template.

Replied to your various points- article's looking a lot better. No rush to reply, just letting you know. J Milburn (talk) 13:57, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

If word has already gotten back to you that I was pissed that you seem to be getting favored treatment, I am noting that I have misinterpreted comments. I apologize for comments regarding you and your participation in the CUP.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:43, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

I've left a review. J Milburn (talk) 17:42, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
It's a shorthand that generates an abbreviated version of the name, with automatic non-breaking space. Essentially a port of the species:Template:splast Wikispecies template used for species lists. It's shorter than the full italicized piped link (and makes templates, in particular, simpler), but admittedly I was possibly too enthusiastic in applying it in mainspace.

The article Mycena adonis you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Mycena adonis for things which need to be addressed. Jappalang (talk) 07:43, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sasata, and thank you very much for your GA review! I tried to access the article you recommended (Genetic diversity...) at the PubMed link you gave, but the only thing I could find was an abstract and several corrections to the original document, not the original article itself. Perhaps I am missing something? Also, if you have another minute, would you mind conducting a literature search on Haflinger (horse)? It's my next one up for FAC, and you always manage to find something I miss. Please let me know if there are ever any articles at GAN/FAC/PR that you would like me to take a look at - you've done enough reviews for me that I know I owe you a few!
